I'M BACK BITCHES! ~Vegeta "Prince of All three Saiyans"
A hours after Izuku's near-unanimous election, along with a closer but still simple election of Yaoyorozu for the vice-president position the entirety of class 1-A ended up sitting together at lunch in order to finalize a few things along with the goal of getting to know each other a bit better.
One of the more common points of bonding being their collective bewilderment over just how utterly broken their new president's quirk really was. Along with the more interesting flavor text(to them) aspects of said quirk.
"So basically each card has a history behind it that explains what they do. Usually, in a vague way, I might add." 'Magic is vague, get used to it. Even my own tracing magic, while simple in theory is overly complex in practice.'
"A lot of these look like variations of old legends. Kanshou and Bakuya, for example, are ancient weapons of Chinese origins and from the story, you told us it seems to follow the same framework as the original. And then there's this Holy Shroud of Magdalene-" Yaoyorozu started off only to get interrupted the moment she mentioned the holy relic.
"You wot m8" Came the startled and obviously flustered voice of a girl with vines for hair. If Izuku remembered correctly she was one of the students of 1B though he didn't know her name. "By the holy father is that real?! U-uh, Midoriya-san was it? M-ay I speak to you in p-private later?" The girl asked her fellow greenette who was caught a bit flat-footed.
'Huh? Why would she- Why is she blushing so much, and what's with that heavy breathing?' 'Run you fool! I've seen this once before, run before you lose you-' *Loud Alarm! 'Oh, thank goodness we're being invaded.'
'Emiya what the hell are you even...You know what forget it. I need to get these panicking students under control before someone gets crushed! Stupid media, always causing problems.' Izuku thought, unknowingly quoting Aizawa word for word. Saving his girl troubles for later as he went through his mental library of cards for something that could help him.
Maybe he could summon something large to distract them? No, this space was too cramped, he'd probably crush a few students, the exact thing he was trying to prevent. A flare from Cu's(Caster) runes? But that also comes with a lot of heat and with this many people packed so close together… Too risky. That leaves-
"Install: David + Ruined Church!" Izuku's voice echoed through the cafeteria, perfectly audible despite the noise pollution that was present. Noise pollution that didn't last long when the students were shocked silent at the change of scenery. The now deathly silent room was filled with confusion and dread, up until the students all heard a melodious, almost angelic music being played.
'Harp of healing(1), I guess it also gives you the ability to play any melody you've heard before. How useful.' 'Indeed, though you may want to wrap this up before they start looking at you like some messiah figure.' ...Shit Emiya was right. Disengaging the installation immediately Izuku went back to his usual meek demeanor and addressed the students. Though since David was a fellow greenette his overall appearance didn't change much.
"I'm sorry for the aggressive relocation but now that we've all calmed down, I think that we can all agree that getting crushed over a false alarm would be a pretty embarrassing way to go, especially a U.A student." He went for a humorous approach which thankfully went over well with them.
"I'm going to release my quirk now, please go on and head outside in a calm and orderly fashion. Don't worry, even if there is something else going on I'll be right here to provide a quick escape if necessary." He said soothingly, looking every student in the eye to solidify his intent even further. After checking to see that they weren't all about to panic once again Izuku finally dissolved the church around them, letting the setting return to the previous cafeteria.
"Thank you for understanding, now let's go. We don't want to keep our teachers waiting for much longer I think." Izuku's true words and a soft smile got everyone to move towards their designated evacuation areas. His own class, in particular, followed him and met up with Aizawa along the way, who praised Izuku for his handling of the situation while also subtly threatening him to turn that paperwork into him asap. The creation of fucking pocket dimensions was not something to ignore.
After the chaos caused by the media, the students were told to head home early for the day, the teachers apparently wanted to do a few checks on their security. Just in case, and nobody was about to complain over a day off.
Well, nobody except for a certain young vine-haired girl. Instead, she spent trying to find her fellow greenette but to no avail. A small quest that would have large consequences for her future. And the futures of all who she knew. What might those consequences be, well you can find out…Right now!
U.A bus, next day.
"So Midoriya-kun, did you ever manage to talk to that vine-haired girl from yesterday kero? She seemed to be really in a hurry to talk to you before the alarm went off." Tsuyu asked her fellow greenette sitting next to her.
Izuku had an apologetic look on his face. "I'm afraid not. After all the craziness that went on It totally slipped my mind. Hopefully, it wasn't anything too important." He felt a little bad about it but it wasn't exactly his fault. "She was from 1B, right? Does anyone here know anything about them?" He asked, trying to get a conversation going.
"Not really, It's only been a few days after all. I barely got to know all of you guys by name let alone those other guys. I've heard that they're being taught by Vlad King though. He's pretty cool." Kaminari answered, getting interrupted by Aizawa who said that they had arrived and that they were going to have their chance to meet their sister class soon enough.
After getting off their bus class A was pleasantly surprised to see what their teacher was talking about. Coming off of a similar bus mere meters away was their sister class along with their own homeroom teacher who walked up and stood next to his dark-haired colleague.
"As I've said earlier, you will be doing rescue training today along with class 1B. Along with Vlad and myself, your third teacher today will be none other than-" Aizawa was cut off by a rather androgynous voice that came from the huge structure that they were supposed to be taught in.
"Me! Welcome to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or as I like to call it. The USJ!" The space hero: Thirteen announced, much to the joy of many students that loved the heroine. Especially Ochako, Izuku noticed, who claimed that Thirteen was in fact her favorite hero.
'Good to know.' 'What, are you planning on getting your girlfriend a gift later.' 'W-what, she isn't- It's no-' 'Shut up and look over there! Is that what I think it is?!' Emiya shouted out of nowhere, breaking Izuku out of his mini panic attack. Just in time to see a gaggle of what he assumed were villains walking out of some kind of purple cloud portal.
And honestly, who would have faulted him for thinking that. One of them was literally wearing the disembodied hands of what were probably his former vi- 'Holy sweet mother of the root are those-' Izuku nearly threw up after installing Emiya and structurally grasping his opponent's unique accessories.
'Shimura Shimura Shimura Shimura SHIMURA'...And just as quickly as it came the deluge of information was cut off as Emiya switched with his host, giving him a much-needed reprieve from the villains rather morbid past.
"Stay back everyone! Those are real villains and dangerous ones at that! Eraserhead, keep an eye on the purple one, he has some kind of warp quirk." The veteran hero ordered his class and advised his current colleague, now wasn't the time to stand on superficial rank.
"He's right, but we have a problem. Our comms are being jammed, I can't get in contact with U.A at all. We're pretty much in the dark at the moment and there's no telling whether there are villains attacking elsewhere. For now, we need to stand our ground, Midoriya was it? I skimmed your file and it said you had an information-gathering aspect to your quirk. Can you tell us anything about those villains?" Vlad King asked his fellow red and silver hero who did not disappoint.
"The one with a visible brain somehow has multiple quirks, strength, durability, possible regeneration. I won't know specifics unless I face him in combat. The hand villain can disintegrate any object upon making contact with all five fingers of either hand. Finally, the purple villain has a warp quirk, though once again its limitations are unknown to me." Emiya systematically revealed his opponent's abilities to the best of his abilities.
"Uuh. Thank you, Midoriya-san. What about the others?" The silver-haired student had missed quite a few.
"The rest of the villains are trash. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked them off the streets less than a day ago." He gave them the blunt truth. Half of these morons probably didn't even know how to properly use their quirk, let alone how to actually fight.
"Harsh but fair red guy, harsh but fair. Meat shields! Block Eraserhead's line of sight so Kurogiri can do his thing." Tomura Shigaraki ordered his men who obeyed, albeit begrudgingly after being called meat shields.
"Damn, eyes open everyone! I've lost sight of the warper and attacks can come from any direction now." Aizawa warned them, this was a worst-case scenario if ever there was one. If the enemy had even a modicum of sense and the firepower to back it up then they were effectively screwed.
Luckily, the enemy was about as green and naive as his own students and decided to attack in the most predictable, least effective way possible. The warper appeared behind the group of heroes. Alone. And with a clearly visible physical weak point that was just short of being a glowing video game mechanic.
"Thank the root for stupid villains. Gae Dearg!" Before anyone else could react, Emiya activated one of his favored weapons from his unlimited arsenal. A spear of exorcism that ripped apart all forms of magic, and if he was correct- *Slice Quirks too, the dark portals that appeared in front of him mid-charge were cut to ribbons before they could even fully form, completely catching the portal villain off guard.
Sadly the villain got wise to his opponent's capabilities and skipped any and all monologuing in favor of scattering the students and teachers across the various disaster zones. With the exception of a few of the more maneuverable students and a certain brat who was somehow cutting fucking wormholes. Kurogiri was still racking his brain over that one.
"You scattered them over this whole building along with your cronies. What exactly was your plan there? You know that they'll just be systematically taken apart by the hero students, not to mention the two teachers." Emiya taunted, having noticed the end-points of each portal that transported the other students. He was starting to think that this whole invasion was a sham, or at least poorly planned to the extreme.
"That's for us to know and for you to find out, hero." The cloud man said, almost disbelievingly. The eyes that this kid had was nothing like the others, they were cold, piercing. They almost reminded him of a more stable Tomura...
"Then I guess I'll just have to beat it out of you, by the way, did you know that space-time bends when met with a sufficiently dense source of energy?" Wait why did he say that? Did the stream of information between him and his host go both ways? Did Izuku always have these nerdy one-liners?
'Oh, whatever.' "Caladbolg!" The twisted sword turned magical black hole was launched, sadly it was done too late as Kurogiri noticed the surge of energy and decided to GTFO immediately. Emiya's one-liner only hastened the cloud man's escape.
"Damn my addiction to heroic dialogue and overanalysis of what shouldn't make sense!" Izuku cursed this time, switching back after the main threat had passed. 'Sorry kid, I can't risk taking over for much longer after using an A-ranked phantasm like that. Best to save a few aces right?'
Emiya had a point, besides other than those three main villains he could probably deal with the others on his own. Or at least he could with the help of his fellow students. "I'm sorry to ask this of you all, but we need to help everyone who got teleported." Receiving a few quick nods the remaining students decided not to waste any time and moved on to each of the disaster zones, utilizing their high mobility quirks to do so.
A smile on his face from the bravery shown by his fellow students Izuku stopped one of them before he could get too far. "Iida-kun, other than me you're the fastest of us. Please head to U.A and tell the teachers what's going on. I'd do it myself but…" Izuku gave the brainy black big bird and his handy master a side-eyed glance.
Giving his class president a quick salute Iida immediately switched directions. "Understood Midoriya-kun! Just hang on and keep the others safe, I'll be back as soon as I can!" The blue-haired youth followed through with his promise and Usain-bolted his way down the street with one goal in mind. Get help.
Taking a moment to calm himself Izuku looked out towards the plaza where the majority of the so-called villains and their leader stood. Each one looking towards him with varying degrees of shock and anger. Guess they were a bit sour overseeing one of their best being forced to retreat. Speaking of which.
"Don't think I've forgotten about you boy. I don't need to be close to you to send you away!" The cloud villain's distorted voice appeared from...Somewhere. Izuku was a bit too busy falling several meters into a lake to really notice. Quickly switching to his Medea card Izuku casually floated towards the yacht at the center of the lake where he noticed two of his classmates and two other members of class B.
"Uh, hello. Are you all ok?" Izuku said from above, thoroughly scaring the four hero students who nearly jumped out of their skin at the sight of a dark robe-wearing hooded figure. "Ah, sorry about that, It's just me." Izuku reassured them sheepishly, lowering his hood. His newly visible feminine features and shockingly purple hair surprising the students further.
"Midoriya-kun? Wow, those transformations are pretty varied kero. Even without the hood I almost didn't recognize you there." Considering the fact that Izuku now had different colored hair, eyes, a more feminine face, and elf ears...That was probably fair.
"I need a status report. On my way here I noticed a few villains swimming nearby, they seem to be taking things slow for now but we can't rely on that forever. Before we continue I'd also like to know about all of your quirks." Taking stock of the situation was paramount, theoretically, Izuku could just snipe the nearby villains with a few dozen ether cannons but that would just be overkill.
"As you know, my quirk is called Frog. No prizes for whoever guesses what that does. Though I do have the proportional strength of a frog so that's something I guess, and I can fight really well in water." Tsuyu explained her pretty self-explanatory quirk, followed by Mineta's underwhelming but still quite useful sticky ball quirk.
Next was a boy from class B who looked about as plain if not even more-so than Izuku did before he got his quirk. "I can create solid panels of air from my breath, their invisible and strong enough to hold a person up but they aren't very durable." So they could theoretically use them to walk all the way to shore...But that would take too long.
'Unless.' "Can the platforms be moved after they are made?" Izuku got an affirmative from Tsubaraba, apparently, they could, it was just difficult to do without breaking the thing mid-flight. "I guess that plan's a bust then, what about you?" Izuku asked the black-haired girl that had remained silent up until that point.
Apparently she was the type to show rather than tell, taking a small stick out of her pockets and growing it out to the size of a bow staff before shrinking it back down. "Wow! That's so cool! I have so many questions, does growing something cause it's density to fall? Or does it create mass from thin air? Or from your own body? Is there a limit to how large you can make something? Can you also shrink large objects or is it a one way- *Smack "...Thank you Asui-san, I needed that."
"No problem, and call me Tsu-chan." Noted.
"Ok so I have a few plans available, sadly all of them kind of leave me exhausted or injured afterward so I'll have to rely on all of you to help me out." He admitted, already having chosen the most optimal plan.
"I'll throw myself overboard and launch an attack that will cause a vortex to form. From there I'll have to rely on Tsu-chan to carry one of you over to the shore, I'll help the other. I'd normally try to help carry two people but...This plan kind of involves me breaking a few fingers." Izuku admitted, not giving the others much time to argue before he switched to the David card and yeeted himself off the boat.
"Wait wha-" "COME AT ME YOU USELESS MOOKS! DELAWARE SMASH!" Izuku roared, flicking his finger at the villains, officially defeating them in what had to be one of the most embarrassing ways possible...And then Mineta threw his sticky balls at them for good measure which guaranteed its spot as the most embarrassing way to go in villain history.
Using the recoil of another smash to send him back onto the yacht Izuku followed up by grabbing onto Kodai with his good arm and launching them both nearly all the way across the lake with David's not too shabby physical stats working their magic, no broken bones required. Tsuyu taking this as her cue grabbed Mineta using her tongue and followed suit.
"I-I probably should have asked this before jumping, but can you swim miss?" Izuku asked his raven-haired tag along. He took the nod she gave as a yes and let go, allowing her to swim alongside him. Thankfully the shore was only a few meters away so he didn't need to stress his broken fingers for much longer.
"Looks like Aizawa-sensei and Vlad-sensei managed to escape whatever disaster zone they were sent to. That's good." And from what he could see there were a few more students waiting at the entrance of the USJ, a good sign showing that the two teachers escorted them before jumping into the fray to make sure that they stayed safe.
"So you survived your little swim little hero. I hate to admit it but you were right, these...I refuse to call them gentlemen, are hardly a match for you students, much less actual heroes." The cloud villain, Kurogiri admitted. Nonchalantly talking as if he saw no problem with their attack plan falling apart so thoroughly.
"Of course every plan has a back-up. Though If I'm being honest, this was the real plan from the start. Normally we'd wait until All Might arrives but that little show you gave has given young Tomura some ideas." He moved the conversation along, while this was happening Izuku gave a worried look towards the raven-haired girl whose name he still didn't know.
And to his surprise, she understood his intentions instantly and made a run for it towards the entrance. 'Good, I don't think I can fight seriously if I had to worry about others getting hurt. These three villains in particular have a completely different aura than the others.' And he wasn't just talking about their quirks, funnily enough, despite the big one's intimidating size, it was the hand villain that unnerved Izuku the most.
"You should feel honored brat, consider yourself the mini-boss before we get to the final act. Nomu, kill him." The monster did not wait a single moment longer to throw itself at Izuku, catching the young hero off guard from the creature's sheer speed. Even with his enhanced body, Izuku had no hope of blocking the first strike which hit him square in the chest, sending him flying and knocking the wind out of his lungs.
'S-shit, did he just break a rib?!' He needed some way to heal himself or this fight wasn't going to last much longer...Damn, I'd rather not use this but I have no other choice.' Working past his broken ribs Izuku took a deep breath and activated the one skill that David had which he didn't want to use.
"Divine Protection of God: A" As soon as the words left his mouth his previous injuries all but disappeared, and besides that, he was even able to fully block Nomu's second punch when it finally made contact. "Install: Holy Shroud of Magdalene." Charging up OFA in addition to his gear Izuku returned everything the Nomu gave him...Only to have his punch get no-sold like it was nothing.
"...Nani?" Was all Izuku could say before Nomu grabbed his arm, attempted to crush it, and upon realizing that he couldn't Nomu sent Izuku flying into the nearby landslide turned glacial zone. "Gah!" A few bruised ribs later Izuku decided that he'd stick to ranged attacks against this guy from now on.
"Midoriya-san! What happened?" Todoroki yelled, running out of the now frozen zone along with the vine-haired girl from 1B. Did he really need to ask? Izuku simply pointed at Nomu and then at the crater that he left behind after getting flung halfway across the USJ.
"My lord what is that abomination, and...I-Is that a holy shroud?!" Shiozaki exclaimed, one half terrified and half left in awe at the divine aura that the Shroud of Magdalene was exuding and now that she noticed, Izuku himself was releasing the same aura…
"Now isn't the time you two. This guy is dangerous, he's faster than anyone I've ever...Ok, he's the second strongest person I've ever seen and my punches don't seem to do any damage to him." Izuku explained, not wanting the two of them around, knowing that if either of them got hit by Nomu it would not end well.
"Of course they don't, Nomu here not only has Shock Absorption but also Super Regeneration. He was custom made to kill All Might so it's no wonder that a brat like you can't even scratch him." Tomura bragged, effectively marking him as the most moronic villain that Izuku had ever met thus far.
"...Right, nevermind. Our enemy is an idiot and just gave me all the information I needed. Install: Diarmuid!" Izuku put on the appropriate servant card for this type of opponent. Still, he needed a backup plan. "I can beat him but...This will likely leave me exhausted if not outright unconscious afterward, sorry but I'll have to rely on both of you, ok?"
Todoroki in particular gave Izuku a look of surprise but ended up accepting his role, in the dual-haired teen's mind if things went wrong then he could always step in and save his powerful but prideful(in his mind) classmate. Shiozaki merely obeyed and readied her quirk, blushing the whole time for some reason…
'Fuuuu-' Izuku had forgotten about the love spot again. 'Screw it, now isn't the time.' Cycling through his supply of Craft Essences and settled for one of his more situational ones. "Install: Ath nGabla!" Izuku wanted to lock down this thing as soon as possible, that kind of strength and speed was far too dangerous to let it run free and attack any nearby students should he fail to defeat Nomu in one hit.
Even with his A ranked agility this creature was far too fast to take on without using OFA, and even with his enhanced durability, he was bound to break at least a few bones while attempting this. 'I should really work on that.' 'Yes, yes you should.' Emiya's confirmation acted as a silent starting pistol as Nomu and Izuku charged towards each other, the giant golem for once finding himself to be the slower of the two.
"Eye of the Mind(True)! Izuku forcefully activated his skill, the stress of having a 3-star servant, a 3-star craft essence, and another 4-star craft essence at once already pushing him to his limits. His utilization of OFA simply pushed him even further beyond, the only thing allowing his body to keep up being Ath nGabla's curse which prevented him from faltering, even if he wanted to.
Holding Gae Dearg forward first Izuku utilized his superior reach to deflect Nomu's first punch, lodging his cursed spear deep into his opponent's side. 'Not enough, whatever this thing is can't be allowed to move/live any further!' Preparing his coup de grace Izuku/Emiya sliced through the monster's legs with surprising ease, leaving the beast to fall forward.
In a last act of desperation, Nomu attempted to go for a bite, trying to end the fight by taking his opponent's head only to miss by mere centimeters, only taking off a chunk of his opponent's shoulder in the process before the creature's arms were taken as well. Leaving the now bloody spearman victorious. But vulnerable.
A hand was held outstretched, centimeters over Izuku's face. A hand that came far too suddenly for the exhausted heroic catalyst to react let alone respond too. "Die!" Shigaraki cried out and almost delivered on his threat if only his quirk didn't fail the moment that he touched Izuku's face. "!"
The half-second of surprise was Shigaraki's greatest mistake, it gave Todoroki just enough time to send out one of his signature glacier attacks, completely covering the villain's body up to the neck. "You might have managed to take out the big guy Midoriya-san, but I'll settle for capturing the 'mastermind' behind all of this." With a little help from his homeroom teacher of course, but he would keep that from himself.
"While I'd hate to interrupt you two and you're little competition, do either of you know where that warp villain went? We shouldn't let our guards down until- And they're gone." Aizawa asked, only for it not to matter as Kurogiri pulled a Houdini with his two main allies while leaving the shcmucks behind to fend for themselves.
"Well, that's unfortunate but on the bright side now all we have to worry about are a bunch of-" "FEAR NOT, FOR I AM HERE!" Aizawa began again, only to be interrupted once more by his boisterous colleague's entrance.
"Alright, I guess that's my cue to take five. Five hours I mean." Aizawa faceplanted immediately after, followed closely by Izuku who finally ran out of stamina. Todoroki and Shiozaki who were the only ones around merely sweatdropped before walking towards All Might to explain what just happened, and to get some help with capturing the rest of the rank and file of course.
Hopefully, today would just be an anomaly on an otherwise normal school year.
Ok, I'm not gonna lie, It's been a LONG time since I've gotten into the flow of writing like I have with this chapter and it feels pretty good. The only problem is that I couldn't think of a perfect way to end this chapter so it kinda just kept going but hopefully, that ends up being more of a benefit than a negative.
Either way, I hope you all enjoyed it and I hope to see you all next time!
