Yaoyorozu's POV
Me and Izuku are relaxing on the roof top again. I know, we are prohibited from being here. but he kept insisting. Gosh, sometimes he acts like a spoiled child.
I had his head on my lap, while I sit with my legs folded comfortably. I played with his curls. I love his hair soo much, they have a silky-smooth feel to it. I looked at his face, even though he is not saying anything, something is definitely on his mind.
"come on spit it out, I know something is on your mind.", I bent down a little and looked him in the eye. He flinched a little.
"how do you know?", he asked, then his face changed into thoughtful expression. He smiled a bit.
"During yesterday's patrol with Mirio, we had a run in with the leader of 'Eight Precepts of Death' in a narrow alley-", I cut him off.
"you got to be kidding me, right?", there is no way he simply had a run in at broad daylight, with a Yakuza.
"no, I'm serious. Well…..most of it due to the fact that I had Domino's quirk still in effect", he replied.
"Wait Domino? How do you know her?", I'm really surprised he knows Uwabami's sidekick.
"I kinda…..called Uwabami for help", he averted his gaze and scratched his left cheek with one finger.
"I find that hard to believe", I folded my arms, "she never helps anyone without benefit for her, that's the kind of person she is"
"I kinda of threatened her….", he trailed off at the last part.
Wait what?
"well you see, I blackmailed her with the video of us capturing stain, soo…she kinda agreed", I forced him to sit up and grabbed his collar, shook him violently.
"you idiot, what were you thinking? Blackmailing a pro hero? I swear to god, one of these days you gonna get arrested", I ranted, he just had a smile plastered on his face. I released my grip and sighed in defeat.
"fine, but don't do it again?", I glared at him., he nodded rapidly, "go on continue"
"right…..where were we?...ah, got it…we had a run in with Chisaki. But the thing is, there was this little girl with him, all bandaged up and stuff, she ran to me and hugged me. then she begged me to save her", he looked down, "but Mirio said it would be safe for her to let her go, now. soo…..i let her go, that guy dragged her into the alley way", once he finished he looked at his hand.
I took both of his hand and gently rubbed it with my thumbs.
"don't worry, it's probably for the best. The agency gonna anyway be arresting him, so rest assured, she will be saved", I smiled to cheer him up.
"yeah, I get that. But that little girl had bandages on her, when she was near me, I could smell the disinfectant on her. those bandages must be new…", he trailed off.
"come say it. don't dump it in your mind. Saying out will help you relax", i reached out for his face and cupped it.
"it's just when I looked at her…..it reminded me of myself"
"you?"
"yeah, you know that I was bullied, right?", I nodded for him to continue, "I used to be bandaged up like that.….", he stopped and looked at me. I don't know what to say. She reminded him of his past?
"do you want a hug?", I asked him with my arms spread out. He looked confused and then a smile crept up on his lips.
"sure", but before I could react, he reached out and hugged me first. His hug was a lot tighter than usual. That incident disturbed him, huh.
He then broke off the hug, I pouted, I thought it would go on for few more seconds, but whatever. He then cupped my face and kissed me. it is the first time he initiated a kiss. His lips taste like mint. I know I have kissed him before, but letting him lead, is soo much better. He is an aggressive kisser for sure, the way he sucks on my tongue is soo good. I should let him lead all the kiss from here on out.
He then broke off, I grinned at him.
"I told you roof are off limits. It's not your love nest, Izuku", we both turned to the owner of the sound. It was Bakugo standing at the entrance.
What the fuck?
This the second time we are getting caught by him.
"Fuck off Katsuki, if it bothers you soo much, get yourself a girlfriend", Izuku shot at him in frustration.
"that's not what I meant? Why everyone keeps misunderstanding me?", he protested.
"well…. that's the vibe you are giving off", Izuku shot back.
Honestly, I don't know what to say. I mean…I don't get embarrassed when kissing and stuff, but doing it in front of others, that's a whole different story, I can't even look him in the eye. Argh…..i feel like I could die.
"whatever the case, just stop coming here, you have your room for this, for fuck sake", Bakugo said in a concerning tone.
Izuku dragged me past Bakugo, yelling "fine" to his face.
Midoriya's POV
I know that it is important to strategize and stuff. But god forbid, these assholes are taking way too long. A day would have been fine, but four fucking days?
I'm seriously beginning to doubt these guys.
Now the entire agency is assembled in the meeting room. This room is huge, like really huge. Agency just had 5 members, so why?
Suddenly the door, busted open. Several pro-heroes started pouring in. oohhh…we are partnering with them, huh. that's good, I mean, yakuza is a large enemy, so…
There the is the No.10 hero Ryuku, Fat gum, Rock lock and Aizawa, he is definitely over working, he should get paid more. Then Momo, Ochaco, Hado, Kirishima, Amajiki….
Wait….
MOMO?
What the fuck is she doing here?
I glanced at her, she looked my way and smiled. Don't give me that smile, what are even doing here?
She then moved her mouth to spell out, 'I'll make it up to you'.
Well…I guess a kiss would suffice. But when do I kiss her? there are soo many people her and I'm not comfortable with them around. I guess there is this narrow corridor in top floor which would be perfect. But how do I get her there?
Then the meeting started, Nighteye went through the details we know and how his men had found out their hideout and other boring stuff.
I wanna get out of here. these lazy bums are going through the plans again and again. There is no way they gonna let me leave. So, I better listen to gather any key detail.
Well…..what Nighteye said is 90% useless, but Fat gum had a interesting story. Apparently, there is this temporary quirk suppressant drug circulating, when they had a fight with a thug, Amajiki was shot by it, he temporarily lost his quirk for 3 hours.
Humm…. really interesting, imagine what would happen if Shigaraki got hold of this. The pro heroes would be in for a serious trouble. But that would surely help to destroy this society. Well…I'm not doubting his motives, right now, rather him. he didn't reach the potential I was hoping for him. after All For One got arrested, he is laying low.
Then Nighteye said something even more interesting, the drugs are made using that girl's blood. That would explain the bandages. Thinking about it brought a bitter taste to my mouth.
I'll fucking kill Chisaki if I get the chance.
Then the meeting finally came to an end, I decide to meet up with Momo and Ochaco aaannnnnddd the extras.
I walked towards them, saying hi to Momo, but I made it seem like I said to everyone.
"yo, Midoriya how did you get into Nighteye agency man?", Kirishima had a arm over my shoulder. Why are you always doing this? Is this your trademark or something?
"well…. Mirio recommended me. so…", I smiled sheepishly.
Ochaco playful punched my arm, "you never told me you dork", come to think of it, w you weren't there huh? suddenly Hado came near me and grabbed my hand brought her face close to mine.
"hey hey tell me how did you impress Nighteye? Tell me tell me", she pestered me. I felt a chill run down my spine, I looked to her side to see Momo giving off the dark aura. I gulped.
I jerked my hands away from her, "Begone Thot".
"Meanie", Hado pouted and huffed her cheeks. I turned to Momo.
"huh…Momo you didn't tell me that you and Ochaco are part of the raid".
"me and Ochaco are doing work studies in Ryuku's agency. And….i didn't know that were are part of the raid until this morning, soo…..", I glared at her.
"cut her some slack, dude", Ochaco butted in.
"yo Midoriya", Mirio called out to me, "let's go".
"okay I better go", I started walking towards Mirio, waving at them.
We all assembled near the yakuza's hideout. Raid is about to begin in few seconds, we all took our position.
I glance at Momo, I nodded, she smiled. The police officers knocked the door, suddenly a huge man of a monster came through the door. Ryuku immediately changed into her dragon form and attacked him. this created the necessary diversion, I rushed towards the entrance. I looked back Momo is aiding in protecting the officers. Well that's good, she shouldn't endanger herself.
I rushed in with Mirio, Nighteye, Fat gum, Kirishima, Amajiki, Aizawa and Rock lock…
I hope the raid goes well….
Yaoyorozu's POV
I looked up, Ryuku is having a hard time with that villain. I was told to just aid in sidelines. But, I'm not here to waste time, I'll use this opportunity to grow as a hero.
Using my earpiece, I can tell Hado the plan from here, that's it I'm gonna do this.
"OCHA", I screamed for her. she floated towards me.
"what is it?"
"I have a plan, I give the signal, touch the object", she nodded, I began to create a grappling hook and a huge boulder. It took around 15 minutes, I used almost all of my fat, this better work. Since it is a two-way grappling hook, I connected the boulder to one end. i aimed my grappling hook at him, but due the fight with Ryuku, I don't have a clear shot.
I pressed the earpiece, "Hado, I need your help"
"I'm busy right now".
"I know just push that fucker down on the ground. I got a plan this might work"
"got it"
"this plan better work Yaoyorozu", it was Ryuku.
"NOW"
As soon as I yelled in the earpiece, Ryuku moved away from him. Hado fired off her shock waves at the villain. She screamed using her full power. The villain on the ground couldn't move. I aimed my grappling hook and shot him. this is special hook; it pierces his skin and opens his blade for better grip. The hook got into his back, I aimed as such because probability of getting struck in his bones is high.
Ocha came and touched the boulder, using her quirk she made the boulder float. I told her to move it very high. Since the villain is connected in a way to the boulder, he too is being dragged upwards. I asked Hado to release him. along with the boulder he is been made to float up. After reaching about 30 meters, I asked Ochaco to release him. he began to fall down. I then realized a idiotic mistake, he is gonna fall on us. I began to run away from him it carrying Ocha in my arms as she is feeling nauseous
Because of his weight along with the boulder, he broke through the ground….
Shit….
Midoriya's POV
Shit
Shit
Shit, everything is going to shit.
Mirio is down for the count, Nighteye is in no position to fight. I would be surprised if he survives this whole mess. No hard feelings man, but I never liked you from the beginning. You're cocky and arrogant.
Now that it has come to this, I sent One For All through my body at 20%. I know I'm taking a huge risk, but it's do or die.
I charged at him at high speed, he placed the hand on the ground, the ground broke down. I jumped off the ground and launched myself towards him bouncing off the ceiling. I used the back of my foot to hit him in the head. but he moved back in reflex. Instead of him I hit the ground. the force destroyed the ground, the debris flew all over the place.
"that attack was soo obvious", Overhaul said in raspy tone, as he touched the ground. I smiled, he then realized that the ground was too destroyed to control. I immediately used the opportunity and bounced myself off the debris around me to attack him, since I was at 20%, he couldn't counterattack. I finished off my attack with a roundabout kick to his face, he went flying off.
I landed on the ground, I saw a small box, near my right foot.
Wait a minute, is that….
At the instant, the ceiling crumbled on us, a huge boulder along with the villain from before came rushing down.
I moved out of the way, the impact destroyed the floor completely and debris flew all over the place. Before I could react the I began to fall as the ground distorted. While falling I saw Eri on a rock holding Mirio's cape. This is the right time, I have get her out of here.
"ERI, TAKE MY HAND", I yelled at her. she flinched but she jumped. Instead of catching her, she grabbed on to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged back.
"don't worry everything will be fine I'll save you", I whispered in her ear.
"no no…to be a hero is to save others"
For some reason, I remembered Katsuki's words, I scowled…..
"GIVE HER BACK", Chisaki shouted from behind, he then touched the ground, the ground morphed into several strips of rocks. He launched all of it towards me.
I probably would never admit this to Katsuki or even Almight. but they were right,
sometimes you have to save to win…
I leaped of all the debris around me. I launched at full force towards him, I stopped giving a damm about the rocks hurting me.
but, suddenly everything around me exploded and some force sent me up to the sky.
What the fuck is going on?
I can see Ryuku and everyone. Momo is there too.
How did I fly up soo high? Did I lose control? This is like Almight's New Hampster smash. In order for me to fly this high, I should have used it at 100%. but, that's highly unlikely.
I landed on the ground; my legs hurt a bit. But I can manage. Ryuku reverted back to her original form, seems like she is exhausted and at her limit. Momo and Hado approached me.
"Izuku, are you alright? Oh my gosh your bleeding", Momo asked me worriedly as she inspected my arms.
"Midoriya where is everyone?"
"everyone is defeated, except me. Overhaul is still down there. everything gone to shit", I replied with frustration. Sooo much for Nighteye's strategy. I still had Eri on my back. Suddenly I felt a immense pain throughout my body. I kneeled on the ground letting go of Eri, Momo tried to catch me for support.
"no don't touch me", I yelled, she retrieved her hand. I looked at Eri's face it had a guilty sign, so this is her quirk huh. I looked up to the sky, the media is here on the helicopter. This mission escalated really quickly.
We have to hold Chisaki, until reinforcements arrive.
At the moment, the ground shook violently, from the hole came a monster like creature made of muscles and flesh. It had Chisaki at its center. I immediately caught Eri in my arms and moved back. So did the rest. Shit he recovers too fast.
"she has no control, right Eri?", the menacing voice of Chisaki echoed through the area.
"she rewinds Human, that's who she is. Depending on how you use her, you can even turn someone back to a monkey. If you keep carrying her like that you'll be annihilated. That girl's quirk is cursed. The only way to stop her is to disassemble her. Hand her over, brat"
So, she can rewind human back to nothingness. I get it now, the moment I lost control, my injuries were rewound back to before it was even hurt.
"Not happening, you have given me a useful hint", I tied her to my back using Mirio's cape. I smiled at him.
"Your quirk is such a blessing Eri. Everyone move away", upon my que Momo and Hado rushed to the back and helped moving everyone away along with Ryuku.
"Hold on tight Eri", I could feel her tears on my shoulders. I had a smug look on my face. Chisaki's face twitched with anger.
If she can rewind everything, then I just have to sustain injuries at higher speed….
One For All Full Cowling 100%", I felt immense energy spread across my body.
I feel like I can do anything….
Yaoyorozu's POV
Me and Hado along with Ryuku helped everyone to move back to safety. Ryuku, Hado, Ocha and me, all of us down for the count. I don't have any lipids lefts. The only person here who can at least face him is Izuku. But the villain looks soo strong.
"we have to hold out until reinforcements arrive", Ryuku spoke up. Me and Hado nodded, "I feel bad but I think Deku is the only who can fight that creature now", she bit her lip in frustration. She is angry at herself for letting a kid fight to protect everyone here. Based on Izuku's info everyone is defeated down there. Ryuku took Hado with her to the building, to aid them if anyone is injured badly. I was left here in case something bad happens.
Shit everything is fucked up.
The media began to arrive to get coverage of this incident. I looked over to Izuku, he is smiling….?
At the moment something weird happened, the usual green sparks over his body intensified, my eyes widened upon realizing what he is doing.
"no don't do it", I yelled at him, the green aura surrounded him, his arm braces broke, red veins popping up over his body.
"this is the only way, Momo. I'm gonna go all out", he replied without turning his head.
Before I could reply, the overhaul rushed towards him. In that instant he vanished, he appeared to the side and kicked him to the sky. The sheer amount of force created enough wind that rushed through out the surrounding and destroyed the houses. It even pushed me to fell on my butt. Even the media helicopter had difficulties in dodging the villain flying upwards. but they somehow managed to stay afloat.
The villain immediately destroyed himself to a vortex of muscles and flesh in the sky, Izuku is flying around him, green sparks coming out of him.
"Creati", I turned around to the one who called my name, Hado and Ryuku had Nighteye by the shoulders. They were dragging him out, who had a huge pointy rock pierced through his abdomen. I made bandage with the last of my strength. i kneeled down near him to tend to his wounds, but there is so much only that I can. Hado and Ryuku rushed back in to help Mirio and others.
I looked up, to see the ongoing fight. Overhaul morphed into a huge giant with arms and legs. Izuku rushed towards him and launched off an attack unlike never seen before, it's like hundreds of fists striking at once. The limbs of Overhaul exploded one after other in an instant.
Izuku didn't waste any time, he again flew over Overhaul and brought his right fist back to punch him.
At that instant, he looked like…. with that anger on his face….
He looked like a devil…. it's like looking into the face of a angry god, who is raining down his wrath …..it looked terrifying….
The final blow sent overhaul straight to the ground, creating massive destruction on its own. I seriously doubt whether Chisaki would be alive.
Once the smoke cleared up, Izuku is the only one standing. He still had Eri on his back.
"this is impossible, he should be dead that's what my quirk showed me. but…..but…this is different.", Nighteye stammered through his pain.
He should be dead….?
What is he talking about?
Suddenly, Izuku screamed in pain. I shot my head towards him, what is going on?
Then the realization hit me. fear overtook me, I don't wanna lose him.
A ball of darkness was about to engulf him and Eri. I began to run towards him. I don't why I did what I did at that time.
But it looks like he needs help….
Just before my hands could touch him, I was engulfed in the sphere too….
Everything went black….
Uraraka's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and stood up, I was in the temporary medical camp, set up few meters from the hideout, before the raid. Since no one was around, I moved out of the tent. The situation outside was chaos, everyone is running around.
What happened here?
Then something caught my eye, a huge black ball, around my height, stood across the street. the area around it was filled with barricades and police officers.
I walked towards it slowly, just before I could reach it.
"Uraraka how are you doing? are you okay?", it was Hado.
"I'm okay now, what is all this?", I said pointing towards the huge black ball.
"oohhh…it's Midoriya….after his fight he became like this and Yaoyorozu along with Eri caught up in it"
What?
The anger and pain rushed to my face, I moved forwards, but before I could reach it, Hado caught me from behind, "Uraraka I know how you feel, but try to control yourself"
"no, I can't let Momo die", I struggled.
I can't bear the thought of something happening to Momo.
Please someone save her…..
Yaoyorozu's POV
Darkness
Darkness
I can't see a thing…..
I heard a faint sound of crying, I walked towards it. the cries sounded soo familiar. I have heard it before…
A child was crouched on the floor. I don't know why but I can't see his face for some reason. A woman in apron, in her thirties I think, keep hitting him again and again…..
I know that child…but I don't know how, he gave off a familiar vibe. I reached out to him, but my hand went through it…like I cannot touch him or something….
The child kept saying 'I'm sorry' again and again…. but she kept hitting hm, calling him useless and quirkless…
"stop it", but no veil, they couldn't hear me….I said it again, but it still wouldn't work….why?
The scenery morphed into a group of kids in school uniform, they seem to be stomping something, I moved to take a look….
It was the same kid, but a bit older…..the kids were stomping him on the ground. but similar to before I couldn't interfere…
Isn't this cruel….? Making me watch all this….to only watch and do nothing?
I looked around, everyone seems to be ignoring this, why? Don't you see this is wrong? The kid moved a little and grabbed onto a stranger and begged to save him. he instead shook him off like a piece of garbage…..
Someone has to help him…I looked at him, he is barely moving…..
It is as though he had given up….
It is as though he is fed up….
The scenery changed again, this time it was a roof top of a building….
The same kid is shown standing there at the edge….i flinched in fear….
I know where this is going….
Please don't do it….
I know It's hard but please, endure it, someone will save you…
Then I realized something…..no one came to save him…..
he was all alone in this world…..
Tears started streaming down my face…he had to suffer soo much all alone…..
No one ever came to help him…. even when he cried for help….begged for help…..
I clutched my chest, it pains me to see this…..
I rushed forward, at least this time I can save him, but just before my hand reach him….
The scenery changed…. this time it was a park. The entire park was well lit with decorative lights.
It's Christmas…..it's a white Christmas…
There was no one in the park except, the kid from before…a little older than before…
He sat alone on a bench…I walked towards him and took a seat beside him….
I looked over, he was hugging himself tightly, he was shivering…..he didn't have a coat or a scarf…..to keep him warm….
Tears formed in my eyes, but I controlled myself not to cry….
Why does he have to suffer soo much? Just because he was born quirkless?
Is quirk all it needs to define a person?
A tall man in fur coat passed by, throwing a match box in the dust bin adjacent to the kid, after lighting his smoke. The kid immediately bent over and took the match box from the bin, he brought it close to him and tried to light a match…
He then brought it closer to his hand….
To warm him in this freezing cold….
The fire shone light on his face, I know that face, those emerald eyes, those green hair and those freckles….
Drop of water fell on the bench…..it was his…..and mine
This isn't fair….
Doesn't anyone feel sorry for him?...i think I know why it would probably make him even angrier…..at the world…..
I now understand…..i feel like I understand….
I tiled my head and rested my head on his shoulder sideways. Surprisingly I didn't pass through him…
I stayed still….I want to stay…for him…
I wish I can stay by him for eternity….
I understand it now…I can hear his heart beat….
It's warm…..and kind…..like that of a gentle soul…
I understand it now….
It's not you who is wrong, what's wrong is this messed up world…
Midoriya's POV
I opened my eyes oh god not this again, the same fucking white ceiling. How many times do I have to wake up in a hospital? It's sometimes fucking scary you know. like a doctor comes in and says 'brace yourself for what I'm going to tell you' or something.
I know the drill, come on where is Momo, I sat upright, to my surprise Momo and Ochaco were both there. before I could say anything, they hugged me, a bone crushing one at that.
I tapped their shoulders violently, they are suffocating me. They released me immediately, I coughed a few times.
"dude this is like a tradition for you, you always wake up in hospital after every fight. ", Ochaco said wiping off a tear from her eyes.
Momo then starred at me. I know you gonna slap me, please make it quick…
But she kissed me and hugged me. I looked to the side where Ochaco is standing, I gestured for her to join, she hesitated but joined anyways. After few minutes, we broke off the hug. We three didn't talk, an awkward silence filled the room.
"Sooo…..what happened. I don't remember shit I'm pretty sure I punched Chisaki to the ground, after that….", I rubbed the back of my neck, breaking the silence, giving them a sheepish look.
"huh well….", Ochaco trailed off.
"you killed Overhaul", Momo said with a straight face.
"Momo you shouldn't say it so suddenly', Ocha co protested.
"oh", colored me surprised, I winked at Momo, without Ochaco noticing. Momo shot me irriatated look.
"Izuku it's alright, don't panic okay?", she placed her hands on my shoulders to comfort me.
"eh, it's alright, I was going in for the kill anyways", I shrugged my shoulders.
"what?"
"you should have seen him fight Ochaco, he was like a demonic beast. I'm really surprised you were able to go all out", Momo folded her arms.
"Eri's quirk helped me…come to think of it, where is she?", is she okay?
"Eri is unconscious, doctor says she has to kept under observation for few more days", Momo answered.
"wait wait, you two seem awfully calm about the fact that he killed someone", Ochaco had a desperate tone.
"he is a villain, what did you expect me to do?", I said folding my arms.
"give up Ochaco, it won't go through that thick skull of his. He'll most probably be free of charge since he is a big villain, who didn't agree with his arrest warrant.", Momo explained it to her.
"but but…..", Ochaco sighed in defeat.
"I won't get arrested right?", It's beginning to worry me.
"what can I say? You killed him brutally, his skull cracked, his entire ribs got destroyed, lungs got punctured-", Ochaco cut her off.
"Momo stop it, i think I'm gonna vomit", she closed her mouth her hand. Momo rubbed circles on her back to sooth her.
I inspected myself, I didn't receive any injuries, I still had my hero suit on. I reached for my pocket and felt it.
It's still there…..
That perfect quirk erasing drug, Overhaul used against Mirio, I manage to pick it up when the ceiling came crushing down. Overhaul was distracted at the moment, I used it and tucked it in my utility belt pocket. I didn't take the other one, the imperfect one, I left it for the police to find out.
"huh Izuku what are you looking for? Did you lost something?", Momo asked in concern.
I smiled, "no...nothing at all"
More importantly, I'm not getting arrested, right?
