(A/N)
Hello and welcome back to another chapter of MRA!
It has been a long time since I've updated this story and right on time since Season 5 has been announced for 2021.
Before we get into the recap, I would like to say something about Bakugo x Yang. After thinking about it. They won't be a pairing. However, I do plan on having them be rivals and work on their development together. I would like to thank Triton0501 and EarthDragonArnighte for the idea. I'm sorry for those of you that wanted Bakugo shipped with Yang, but it's something clever I want to do. But I got two options in mind for Yang for a possible ship: Kirishima or Tenya. Vote who you want to see.
To recap what happened last time, The UA students and the teachers continue to hold off the villains so back up can arrive. However, Glydna got stabbed in the back, Aizawa is in critical condition, Weiss got a slash over her eye, and the heroes are being overwhelmed with the combined efforts of Rowan, Shigaraki, Cinder, Kurogiri, and Nomu. Fortunately, All Might and Qrow arrive just in the nick of time with Tenya currently on his way to the school to bring back up.
Will All Might and Qrow be able to make the villains retreat? Or will the Symbol of Peace be destroyed?
To find out the answers, it's time to go Plus Ultra and finish off the USJ Arc!
All Might and Black Wing
USJ
All of the commotion has died down after the sudden entrance of All Might. All Might started to take a few heavy steps forward with a serious glare while the students at the entrance were smiling and crying in joy.
"I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone wrong when Aizawa, Thirteen, and Goodwitch didn't answer my calls." All Might said. "So me and Blackwing hurried over, running into young Iida along the way. He informed us of the villainy work here."
All Might looked over at the damage around him, infuriating him even further as he felt guilty that the teachers had to fight while he was resting. However, he's not going to let that happen anymore.
"Have no fear students…" All Might started as he grabbed his necktie before ripping it off. "BECAUSE WE ARE HERE!"
"We?" Cinder asked before she ended up tripping and falling after something latched around her legs. She gets up, only to be tossed away by a mysterious hand.
Ruby slowly opens her eyes and looks up to see that her rescuer is none other than her dad, Qrow, who is wearing his casual outfit as opposed to his hero outfit.
"Dad… You made it." She smiles as her eyes sparkle with joy.
"Hey kiddo." Qrow chuckles with a smile.
"Look, All Might and Backwing are here!" Oscar exclaimed with joy.
"Ribbit." Tsuyu croaked in shock and relief.
"About time." Blake said with a small smirk.
"They're here… All Might and Blackwing." Izuku before looking over at his idol. "And he's not smiling."
"Finally, after all of this waiting…" Shigaraki started as he stood up, looking away from the students in the water. "The heroic piece of trash has arrived."
"Looks like I'll finally get my revenge after he humiliated me and ruined my chance for a big score." Roman chuckled sinisterly before noticing the villains are starting to wuss out until they're easily apprehended by All Might's ridiculous speed. "Wow, that lasted shorter than a second."
All Might walked over to Aizawa's body before picking him up. "I'm sorry you had to go through this Mr. Aizawa." He apologized with regret before noticing the villains and Nomu in front of Ruby, Izuku, Oscar, Blake, Tsuyu, and Qrow. In another instant, he grabbed Izuku, Tsuyu, and Oscar while knocking the hand out of Shigaraki's face.
"What the?" Cinder gasped as Qrow grabbed Ruby before leaping over Blake and grabbed her as he slid back to where All Might is.
"Is Aizawa okay?" Qrow asked All Might and the students.
"He's unconscious, but alive." Blake answered after feeling Aizawa's pulse.
"And what about Goodwitch?"
"She's back at the entrance with the other students." All Might informed Qrow before looking back at the students. "Everyone, go back to the entrance. And take Aizawa with you. He doesn't have much time."
"Oscar, can you still move?" Ruby asked, noticing the boy placing a hand over his face from the migraine.
"A little." Oscar groaned in pain.
Shigaraki begins to pant rapidly like he's about to break down as he walked over to his hand, picked it up, and latched it over his face while Cinder and Roman rushed over to him and Nomu.
"Well, well. I was not expecting Blackwing to be here." Cinder giggled with a smirk.
"Is it me or is All Might a little slower than before?" Roman noted before letting out a chuckle. "But I suppose that makes things easier for us."
Qrow glances back at the students with a perplexed look on his face as they're carrying the unconscious Aizawa.
"I don't know who the others are." Ruby admitted. "They're so weird."
"All Might, that brain villain is really strong." Izuku told his idol. "I smashed him and I didn't break my arm this time, but he wasn't fazed by it."
"Don't worry, Young Midoriya." All Might reassured as he looked back and did a peace sign with a reassuring grin. "Me and Blackwing got this."
"He's right, kid." Qrow agreed. "We'll be fine."
Izuku and Ruby looked at the two before looking at each other with a nod. The two lifted Aizawa up and started making their way to the entrance while Tsuyu helped them and Blake helped Oscar walk.
Qrow lets out a sigh before taking out his weapon, tightening his grip on the handle as he and All Might glare at the four villains.
"Look, I don't know what you guys are after..." Qrow started with an angry tone. "But you better leave our students alone."
With a single nod, both Qrow and All Might lunged towards the villains at high speed, getting ready to strike.
"Carolina…" All Might started as he crossed his arms in a cross position.
"Nomu." Shigaraki commanded as Nomu is now in front of All Might. He sees Roman taking out his weapon, only to halt him by holding out his arm. "Not yet, Torchwick." He said, disappointing the villain.
"SMASH!" All Might delivered a downward cross chip, only for Nomu to receive no damage from the attack.
"I guess Midoriya wasn't kidding when it had no effect on him." Qrow scoffed as he swung his weapon, only for Cinder to block it with her dual glass blades.
"Let's try this!" All Might delivered a left and right hook on Nomu's face, only to do no damage.
Nomu lets out a screech and lunges at All Might, prompting the Symbol of Peace to jump backwards.
"Doesn't even matter where I punch you, does it?" All Might questioned as he delivered two powerful punches on Nomu's chest.
"That's because Nomu here has shock absorption, All Might." Shigaraki explained in a mocking tone. "The only way that you're going to hurt him is by gouging out his chest slowly."
"Of course…" Roman started as he took out a cigar by the tip of his fingers, using his quirk to light it up before putting it in his mouth. "Why would our dear Nomu allow that to happen? It wouldn't be fun at all."
"Thanks for telling me how to beat him!" All Might smirked as he dodged Nomu's grab, dashing behind the creature before grabbing it from behind. "All I have to do is wear him down, and then it's on to you and Torchwick!" He performs a german suplex, creating a huge shockwave.
"Not a bad form." Roman whistled in amusement while Shigaraki shielded his face with his arms.
With Qrow
Qrow coughs from the dust cloud after he and Cinder were sent flying back from the impact of All Might's german suplex.
"Sheesh, I just got my clothes cleaned." Qrow sighed as he wiped off the dust on his clothes. He looks to the side and picks up his weapon.
"So that's the Symbol of Peace's power." Cinder said as she got up. She noticed her glass blades shattered during the crash, so she created a singular blade instead before tuning to Qrow.
"Not only you villains are gonna pay for hurting my daughter, niece, and students, but you're also gonna pay for breaking into UA." Qrow declared in disgust.
"So you knew it was us?" Cinder asked with an evil smirk. "How did you even figure it out?"
"You can call it instinct." Qrow answered as the two began walking in a circle around each other.
"Then let's see if your instincts can help you survive." Cinder said as her blade glowed fiery orange.
"Bring it." Qrow said as the two charge towards each other and swing their weapons, clashing blades and missing a few times.
Cinder increases the temperature of her blade in an attempt to melt Qrow's weapon, only for Qrow to flip backwards as he fires rubber pellets at Cinder. However, Cinder ignites her blade and slashes through the pellets, burning them to ashes.
Qrow lands on his feet and bolts towards Cinder to catch her off guard, only for her to dodge until…
*CRACK, SHATTER*
Cinder stumbles backwards after hearing the sound of glass shattering, prompting her to look down to see that the heels of her shoes are broken. She lets out a scowl, but receives a punch in the gut by Qrow as she flies back before crashing through a wall.
"I guess it's not your lucky day." Qrow mocked before firing rubber pellets at the Scorching Sorceress, causing her to get pelted by them
"Don't get cocky, bird." Cinder growls before shooting fireballs at Qrow, melting the pellets while Qrow deflects them by spinning his blade as he rushes towards her.
Unbeknownst of Cinder, a weak piece of the wall falls off and hits Cinder in the head.
"Oww! First my shoes and now this?" Cinder grumbled while rubbing her head before dodging Qrow's swings. 'Wait, could it be…?'
Qrow jumped up and slammed the back of his sword down on Cinder, only for her to block it with a glass piece before pushing him back as the piece turned into a bow. She then fires a few arrows at Qrow, which one manages to graze his cheek, but shrugs it off as he deflects the other arrows.
Cinder growls as she heats up her bow and prepares to fire another arrow, only for it to explode from the heat and pressure. She stumbles back before receiving punches from Qrow, causing her to get on one knee.
"So that's your quirk." Cinder spoke up while panting heavily. "I thought your title was for show, but now I see why you're called the Misfortune Hero."
[Qrow Branwen aka The Misfortune Hero: Black Wing. Quirk - Misfortune! As the name applies, he spreads bad luck wherever he goes and unlike most quirks, his misfortune quirk is constantly active, making it easy to fight villains, but makes it hard when near allies. You can say that he's a walking bad luck charm.]
"Heh, you can say it's both luck and skill." Qrow chuckled as he loaded his weapon in order to fire a few more rubber pellets at her.
"You're strong…" Cinder started before her eyes glow a fiery yellow color. "But you're too cocky for your own good."
"What?" Qrow asked before noticing Cinder placing a hand on the ground, causing a flame pillar to erupt beneath him as he screamed from the burns.
Once the flame pillar disappears, Qrow is breathing as he has a few burn marks on his arms and face while his clothes were a bit burnt and has black smudge.
"Wait, that didn't kill me?" Qrow asked before noticing Cinder is gone. He looks around before he gets stabbed in the side of his stomach by Cinder.
"You were lucky that the flame pillar was weak." Cinder giggled sinisterly while slowly heating up the shard. "Otherwise, it would've ruined my fun."
Qrow lets out a weak grunt and struggles to push Cinder away from him, only to scream in pain from the hot blade.
"For an old bird, you're a lot stronger than Enchaster." Cinder admitted. "But I doubt you and your friend would last long."
"What do you mean?" Qrow said before looking over and gasping when he saw All Might trapped in Nomu's grasp thanks to Kurogiri's portal. "H-How the?"
"Surprised?" Cinder giggled menacingly. "We made sure Nomu is just as strong as All Might. It appears you two are at your limits."
"Well, it looks like Kurogiri and Cinder got them where we want them now." Roman smirked in amusement along with Shigaraki.
Kurogiri's eyes narrowed slightly as the portal slowly split in two, causing Nomu's grasp to slowly stab All Might's lower chest. Meanwhile, Cinder increases the heat and slowly turns the blade in Qrow's wound.
'Crap, this monster found my weak spot!' All Might thought in pain as he immediately let go of Nomu's waist in order to release its grip.
"Is that the best you can do?" Qrow coughed out a small amount of blood as he grabbed Cinder's wrist to try and squeeze it in order to make her release her blade. "We don't go down that easily."
Shigaraki slowly scratched his neck in frustration while Roman rolled his eyes in disgust.
"What is it with Heroes and their never giving up speech?" Roman groaned. "Can you two wrap this up before they decide to make another one?"
"Normally, I wouldn't want blood and viscera flooding the insides of my warp gate." Kurogiri confessed. "But I'll make an exception to a great hero like you."
All Might noticed the warp gates growing larger as Nomu slowly sinks through it.
"Since you're too fast to see with the human eye, Nomu had to restrain you." Kurogiri explained as All Might's upper body is now poking above one of the warp gates, which is slowly shrinking. "And once he pulls your body halfway through, I'll squeeze the gate shut."
"Want me to incinerate him and Black Wing?" Cinder offered as she glanced over to Shigaraki, who stopped scratching his neck.
"Be my guest." Shigaraki answered. "Torchwick, you can join Cinder."
"With pleasure." Roman chuckled as he prepares to take off his glove until...
"I'm coming!" The villains heard a shout as they looked over and saw Izuku running towards them in an attempt to save All Might.
'Young Midoriya?' All Might thought in shock.
'What are you doing, kid!?" Qrow exclaimed while flinching from the stab wound. "Get out of here!"
Izuku screams as he jumps towards All Might, only for Kurogiri to appear in front of the green haired boy and gets ready to warp him.
"Foolish boy." Kurogiri mocked until…
*BOOM*
Kurogiri was suddenly hit by an explosion, destroying the warp gate Kurogiri created as Izuku saw Bakugo mid-air above Kurogiri.
"Get the hell out of my way Deku!" Bakugo shouted.
"Kacchan?" Izuku gasped in shock.
"Too slow~" A familiar female voice was heard as Kurogiri was punched and pinned down by his metal brace. The villain looked up and noticed Yang, who was winking while sticking her tongue out.
"I was going to pin him down, Blondie!" Bakugo shouted.
"Oh I'm sorry, I don't remember that being a part of the plan." Yang teased with a grin.
"Where did they come from?" Cinder asked until she was hit by a barrage of ice, prompting her to look over and see Weiss, who has a blood mark over her left eye and carrying her weapon. "The Schnee!?"
"It wouldn't be very heroic like if I were to walk away from this situation." Weiss declared.
Cinder lets out a scowl until she feels something latch onto her legs. She looks down and sees a black rope wrapped around until she was yanked backwards, forcing her to release the blade.
'A rope?' Qrow thought as he looked over and saw Blake from afar until he was carried away by Ruby, who used her quirk to get Qrow out of the situation. "Ruby? What are you-"
"I know, but I can't stand by and watch these villains kill All Might and my dad." Ruby said, causing her dad to smile.
"And I thought I'm the one who has to rescue you." Qrow chuckled as Ruby set him down so he could slowly take out the blade and rip a part of his cape off before wrapping it over the wound to prevent more blood loss.
During this time, a wave of ice appears and starts to Freeze Nomu's right leg and arm.
'He's frozen?' All Might thought before seeing Shoto from afar. 'That means Young Todoroki must be here!'
"One of your poorly trained thugs told me about your plan to kill All Might." Shoto announced to the villains.
'He controlled his quirk so that the ice stopped before it could reach my body.' All Might before he starts to loosen Nomu's grip before breaking free and leaping away as he landed next to Shoto and Weiss. He then places a hand over his wound while flinching slightly.
"You okay?" Qrow asked as he slowly got up, but wobbled a bit.
"I'm fine, but what about you?" All Might asked back.
"I think I can manage." Qrow answered as he looked over at the kids. "Normally, I would be mad for disobeying our orders, but I'm grateful for you kids."
"You won't get away!" Kirishima prepares to slam Shigaraki and Roman down to the ground, only for the two to jump away from the redhead. "Aw man, that was gonna be freaking cool."
"At least we managed to push them back." Blake said as she jumped over where Izuku, Kirishima, and Ruby's location while holding the rope that's tied to Cinder's leg.
"Guess we found your body that time, you smokey bastard." Bakugo says while Yang continues to pin Kurogiri down.
"The Symbol of Peace and Black Wing won't be defeated by delinquents like you." Shoto stated.
"Kacchan, Ruby, everyone." Izuku said in disbelief before wiping his tears away as the boys and girls glared at the villains.
USJ Entrance
Tsuyu is currently carrying a barely conscious Aizawa while Oscar managed to get up on his feet. The two looked over and saw what's happening.
"Xiao Long, Bakugo, and Kirishima." Oscar stuttered in disbelief.
"Todoroki and Schnee are down there too." Tsuyu added before looking over at Oscar. "Can you walk now?"
"I still got a headache, but I can still move." Oscar panted as he helped Tsuyu with carrying Aizawa up the stairs. As they walk, Oscar looks up and sees Uraraka, Sato, and Sero at the top of the stairs. "Hey, can you help us?"
"Mr. Aizawa!" Uraraka gasped.
"Come on, let's help them." Sato said as he and Uraraka went downstairs to help Tsuyu and Oscar while Mina looked after Thirteen and Glynda.
"Don't worry…" Thirteen started with a shaky voice. "All Might and Black Wing will take care of this."
'All Might, Qrow.' Glynda thought while she's barely conscious. 'Please hold them off until Iida returns with the teachers.'
Center
"Kurogiri, Cinder, Torchwick." Shigaraki started with a disappointed tone. "How could you let these brats get the best of you?"
"Try putting yourselves in our shoes." Cinder scowled in anger, struggling to break free.
"It's because you villains got careless." Bakugo stated with a smirk. "Especially the smoke guy. It wasn't even that hard to figure you out."
"But how?" Kurogiri asked.
"We were able to figure it out when you started to use your quirk to teleport everyone." Bakugo answered. "I've noticed a metal piece on you during the time, which means that only certain parts of you turn into that smoking warp gate. To cover that, you covered your entire body in that mist."
"Wait, you saw my real body?" Kurogiri asked as he tried to get up, only for Yang to apply a bit more pressure to keep him pinned down.
"It was brief, but it was enough to confirm your weakness." Yang said. "So decided to use an attack on you, knowing you'll avoid it. And once we found our opening, we took the chance. All and all, I'd say this was a success."
"Now that's what I call a manly strategy." Kirishima praised with a smile.
'They managed to escape uninjured and captured three of my strongest players.' Shigaraki thought to himself. 'Kids these days truly are amazing. They make the League of Villains look like amateurs.'
"Okay, I'm officially bored now. Do you mind if I step in?" Roman asked, flicking away his cigar.
"Be my guest." Shigaraki answered.
Roman whistles a tune and lightly taps his foot against Nomu's left foot. "Can you still get up, boy?"
Nomu lets out a screech as it slowly gets out of the warp gate, causing its frozen arm and leg to shatter.
"How is it still moving?" Izuku asks as he, Shoto, Weiss, and Ruby are in complete shock.
"I know that thing is strong, but it was hit by Todoroki's ice." Ruby said in disbelief.
"Stay back kids." All Might said as he and Qrow extended their arms out in front of the four.
Blake sniffs a few times before noticing something's burning. She looks down and gasps before creating a shadow clone and jumping over to her fellow classmates as a flame pillar erupts and destroys the clone and burns the rope that's tied around Cinder's legs.
"Took you long enough to join." Cinder said as she stood up.
The remains of the ice fell off of Nomu as he started to grow new muscles and limbs.
"Hey, you said that it's quirk is shock absorption." Qrow pointed out as he picked up his weapon.
"I didn't say that was his only quirk." Shigaraki explained as Nomu starts covering his new limbs with new skin. "He also has super regeneration. Nomu has been modified to take you on, even at 100%."
"I think that's enough information for one day." Cinder said as she looked over at Yang pinning Kurogiri down. "Let's free our best method of escape."
"I agree. Nomu, get the blonde girl." Roman snapped his fingers as both Nomu and Cinder rushed towards Yang with the latter creating fireballs in her hands.
"Yang!" Ruby called out as she was about to dash towards her cousin, but was stopped when a gunshot nearly hit her and looked down to see a trail of gunpowder.
"Oh no. You kids are going on time out for interfering with our work." Roman mocked as he took off one of his gloves and lightly tapped the start of the gunpowder trail, creating a wall of sparkling flames around Ruby, Izuku, Shoto, Blake, and Weiss.
'Crap, if we don't act now, she'll get hurt!' All Might and Qrow thought in unison while Yang's eyes widened in fear.
Nomu throws a heavy punch while Cinder lunges her fireballs down, creating a huge explosion that not only puts out Roman's fire wall, but also Izuku, Shoto, Bakugo, Kirishima, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake backwards as the cloud of explosion crash through a wall.
"The hell's up with that speed?" Bakugo coughed as the smoke started to clear up.
"Wait, where's Xiao Long?" Kirishima asked as everyone noticed Yang's no longer pinning Kurogiri down.
"No… It can be…" Ruby stuttered in disbelief before her eyes got watery as she shouts- "YANG!"
"I'm right here." Everyone turned around and saw a slightly petrified Yang sitting on the floor, surprising them.
"YANG, YOU'RE ALIVE!" Ruby cries as she jumps over to her cousin and gives her a hug.
"Whoa, did you dodge them?" Izuku asked.
"I didn't even move." Yang answered as she stood up while a crying Ruby was still hugging her. "Heck, I didn't even have time to react."
"Then how'd you get over here?" Blake questioned before Shoto looked over at the cloud of smoke through the hole in the wall.
"I think the answer is obvious." Shoto spoke up, catching his classmates' attention as they could see All Might and Qrow, who's sleeves were torn off while All Might's right arm and Qrow's left leg were burnt from Cinder's fireballs.
"All Might!" Izuku exclaimed.
"Dad!" Ruby gasped while putting her hands over her mouth.
'So they protected the child.' Shigaraki thought to himself.
"These are kids…" All Might started while regaining his breath. "And you didn't hold back?"
"You already ticked me off by trying to attack my daughter, but you tried to attack my niece too?" Qrow added, more angry in comparison to All Might.
"We didn't have much of a choice." Cinder said as she stood up while Roman and Shigaraki walked over to her, Nomu, and Kurogiri. "She was holding Kurogiri hostage."
"And besides, these kids aren't angels." Shigaraki added. "The plain looking guy tried to hit me with a punch. What kind of hero does something like that? You think you can solve everything with violence and call it justice? Well guess what, All Might? That pisses me off. Why does society get to decide that some violent acts are heroic and others are villainous? You Heroes may act like a big shot, but you're all nothing more than a government-sponsored tool of violence. And that leads to more violence to occur."
"I think we've heard enough of your crap." Qrow said back, flinching from his burn wound, but managed to stand back up.
"He's right. You say that your actions are noble." All Might started with an angry glare. "But we know that you're doing this for your own satisfaction."
"We've got them outnumbered." Shoto told his fellow classmates.
"Me and Todoroki can deal with the female's flames." Weiss said, readying her weapon.
"And Kacchan and Xiao Long found the mist guy's weakness." Izuku added as he got both of his fists ready.
"These villains may act tough, but we can defeat them with All Might and Black Wing's help." Kirishima said, hardening his lower arms with his quirk.
"I'm ready to kick some bad guy butt." Yang pounded her fist as her eyes turned red.
"Don't attack." All Might told his students as he and Qrow walked forward with the latter limping a bit. "Get out of here."
"You two would've been in trouble earlier if it weren't for me, remember?" Shoto recalled.
"But All Might, Dad." Ruby spoke up in concern. "Both your arm and leg were burnt when you saved Yang. Let us help you."
"We appreciate the offer kids, but we got this." Qrow reassured as he ripped off the rest of his cape and tied it around his burnt leg.
"But All Might, you're already bleeding." Izuku said until he noticed All Might's thumbs up and Qrow's solemn smile, causing him to nod in understanding.
"Qrow, I think I may need your quirk for this." All Might requested.
"Sure, but don't blame me if you end up getting bad luck." Qrow smirked as he took out his weapon.
"Nomu, Cinder, Kurogiri, kill them." Shigaraki ordered. "Me and Roman will deal with the kids."
[You Say Run - My Hero Academia OST]
"Looks like we'll have to go all out." Qrow told All Might as he twirled his weapon.
"I agree." All Might clenched his fists, flinching a bit due to his burnt arm. 'I barely have a minute left in this form. Even so, me and Qrow have to stop these villains.'
"Let's clear this level and go home." Shigaraki said as he lunged himself towards the kids.
"Be sure to leave Boom Boom to me." Roman said as he followed his boss.
"It looks like we're fighting after all." Blake said, readying her sickle and sheath.
"You ready, Black Wing?" All Might asked.
"I think you know the answer by now, All Might." Qrow smirked as the two heroes dashed forward, surprising everyone as All Might and Nomu clashed fists with each other while Qrow and Cinder clashed blades with each other, causing the impact from both attacks to send the villains and students flying back from the shockwave.
"Weren't you listening?" Shigaraki taunted. "One of Nomu's powers is shock absorption."
"Yeah? What about it?" All Might as he and Nomu continue to clash fists with each other despite the Symbol of Peace's burnt arm.
"Do you two have a death wish?" Cinder asked as she continued to clash blades with Qrow, only for her weapons to start to crack.
"I'm afraid you two are on the losing end here." Qrow smirked as he did an upward kick on Cinder's chin before changing his weapon to a scythe and used it to pull her forward.
"Don't get cocky!" Cinder shouted in rage and was about to create a fire pillar, only for it to spawn underneath Nomu, burning the villain.
"Maybe you should follow your own advice." Qrow taunted with a smirk, infuriating Cinder as she swung her blades in rage, causing the crack in her weapons to grow as the Misfortune Hero continued to block each strike.
"They're going to fight them head on!?" Izuku shout as he and Bakugo are struggling to stay on the ground.
"I don't think I can top that speed!" Ruby gasped as she shielded her eyes from the shockwave.
"I haven't seen Uncle Qrow this serious in a long time." Yang admitted.
"Whoa, it's like they're a blur!" Kirishima exclaimed as he nearly lost his balance.
"Hang on!" Weiss shouted as she stabbed her wand into the ground, creating eight glyphs underneath her and the other students in order to keep them from being blown away.
"No! I can't get near them!" Kurogiri curses as he's pushed back to where Shigaraki and Roman are at.
"Your quirk is shock absorption and not nullification, right?" All Might questioned as he started to rapidly punch Nomu, creating a huge crater in the ground. "So that means there's a limit of how much you can take!"
"A limit!? But he's meant to take you on at 100% of your true power!" Cinder shouted until she realized her blades had finally shattered.
"If you think so, then you clearly don't know All Might." Qrow said as he starts punching Cinder with both fists and kicking him with one leg due to the other being burnt.
As the two heroes and villains continue to fight, All Might and Qrow cough out a bit of blood due to their wounds, but continue to fight as their attacks grow faster with each hit.
'They're giving it their all, despite their injuries.' Izuku thought to himself as he's in complete shock. 'Those aren't random strikes. Each and every single attack are targeted… They're more than 100%!'
"A real hero…" All Might started as he and Qrow started to overwhelm Nomu and Cinder, sending them across the trees of the park before sending them up in the air. "Will always find a way for justice to be served!"
All Might jumped up into the air and grabbed Nomu while Qrow latched his scythe around Cinder's leg before All Might tossed Nomu and Qrow yanks Cinder down onto the ground, surprising Bakugo, Shoto, Yang, Weiss, Kirishima, Blake, Izuku, Ruby, Shigaraki, Roman, and Kurogiri.
All Might lands behind Qrow before looking back at the Misfortune Hero. "You ready to finish this?"
"Just as long as you don't blow me away." Qrow smirked as they clinched their fists.
"Go…" All Might started as he winded up his right fist backwards.
"Beyond…" Qrow added as he does the same with his left fist.
"PLUS! ULTRA!" The two heroes shouted as they simultaneously punched Nomu and Cinder in the gut, sending them flying as Cinder crashed into a wall while Nomu crashed through the roof, causing the whole building to shake from the impact.
Squall Zone
"What's happening?" Tokoyami gasped as he and Koda noticed the rain being blown in a different direction from the shockwave. "Everything's shaking."
Fire Zone
Ojiro leaped over a villain and kicked him away before looking up with a sweatdrop. "What was that?"
USJ Entrance
"Did a villain just fly by or am I going crazy?" Sero asks as he and Sato are carrying the unconscious Thirteen.
"It was that brain dude." Sato answered.
"Such power." Shoji said in awe while carrying the unconscious Aizawa.
"D-Does that mean All Might and Black Wing won?" Oscar stuttered with a mixture of shock and awe.
'Well done, you two.' Glynda thought to herself with a small smile while being carried by a happy Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Mina.
Center
"Holy crap, that was like the finishing move of a video game." Kirishima said with a small hint of excitement.
"I'm more amazed that they managed to win despite their injuries." Blake admitted as she looked rather surprised from what she and the others witnessed.
"I knew that they would win." Yang said with a toothy grin.
"Imagine having power like that." Bakugo said as he's in more shock than the catgirl.
"Combined with Black Wing's quirk and All Might's speed and power, they were able to prevent the brain creature from regenerating and to stop the fire lady." Weiss calculated with a small sweatdrop.
'He really is the best.' Shoto admitted to himself while trying to remain calm.
"Deku?" Said person turns to see Ruby, who is smiling at him cutely. "Those two are the best, right?"
Izuku's cheeks turn slightly red from how slightly close Ruby is to him before he returns the smile. "Yes. Yes, they are."
"You… Can't… Defeat me…" Cinder gasped weakly with bruises and a bit of blood on her face as she slouched against a crater in a wall nearby her fellow villains.

"Oh yeah? I think we just did." Qrow told the defeated villain as he and All Might turned to Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and Roman, who were in complete disbelief that Nomu and Cinder lost.
'My time's running out. I gotta end this fast.' All Might as steam starts to slowly emerge from his body. "You've been bested, villains. Surrender now. We all want to get this over with quickly."
"He cheated…" Shigaraki hissed before he started to scratch his neck. "If only Nomu was here, he would rush the both of you by now. How could this happen!?"
"Relax, it's not over yet." Roman reassured as he pointed over to the two heroes. "All Might was definitely weakened from fighting Nomu."
"He's right, Tomura Shigaraki." Kurogiri agreed. "And thanks to Cinder Fall's attack, she managed to weaken Black Wing too. While he may be in better condition and his quirk may be dangerous, we can still overwhelm them." He then looks around the area. "The children appear to be frozen in fear and our underlings are starting to recover."
"How about we end this with style?" Roman suggested as he's twirling his cane. "We still got a few more minutes before their reinforcements will arrive. That should be plenty of time for Cinder to recover so she can join us."
Shigaraki stopped scratching his neck, which is now covered in red marks, as he regains his composure. "Yeah, you're right. This is it. We have no choice." He agreed.
Mountain Zone
Meanwhile, Kyoka and Momo are backed up into a corner as an electric villain manages to snuck up on them and capture the short-circuited Kaminari.
"Put your hands up." The villain demanded while holding up his hostage. "And if you even think about using your quirks, I'll kill your friend here."
"Kaminari's unable to fight back." Momo said with a hint of anger by the villain's demand.
"Damn villain caught us with our pants down." Kyoka scoffed. "I thought that electric blast fried all of the villains. We got careless."
"I feel a little brotherhood with other electric types, so I don't want to kill him." The electric villain clarified before creating electricity in his free hand, frightening Kaminari. "But I will if you make me."
"An electric type?" Momo gasped as she and Kyoka held their hands up in the air. "Then he must be the one that Todoroki said was jamming our communications."
"Don't move a muscle." The electric villain said as he slowly walked towards the two girls. "Let's take this nice and slow."
Kyoka looks down before making a small smirk. "You know, you two dudes are so lucky." She complimented. "People with electric type quirks are destined for mainstream success."
"You think so?" The electric villain asked as he stopped in place.
'Jiro, what are you doing?' Momo thought with a hint of nervousness.
"I mean, even if you didn't want to be a hero, there are tons of jobs you could do in the city, right? Your kind of quirk is in high demand." Kyoka said, secretly extending her right earphone jack plug down to the back of her amplifier. "So I'm wondering, why would you become a villain in the first place?"
'I get it, Jiro can attack without moving if she can manage to get her earphone jack plugged in.' Momo thought after realizing Kyoka's plan.
"You don't have to answer, I just thought it might be interesting to know." Kyoka suggested as she's about to plug in her earphone jack into her amplifier until…
The electric villain held his hand close to Kaminari's face, generating sparks as Kyoka forces to retract her earphone jack. "Nice try. I won't be outsmarted that easily."
'Damn it, he found out.' Kyoka cursed to herself.
"Big mistake, sweetheart." The electric villain mocked. "I'm not a dumb thug that will be defeated by a bunch of kids. You need to learn how to take hostage situations seriously. So here's the new deal: Either this idiot's going to die or the both of you will take his place."
Center
Blake's cat ears twitch as she turns around and sees a bunch of villain underlings getting back up. Prompting her to take out her weapon.
"They're getting back up." Blake alerted her classmates, prompting them with the exception of Izuku and Ruby, to turn around.
"I think All Might and Black Wing can hold their own against those three main guys." Kirishima said before hardening his arms. "Let's make sure these dudes don't hurt anyone else."
During the time, Ruby and Izuku noticed that All Might is in bad condition while Qrow is starting to breathe rapidly from exhaustion.
'Oh no… Even with my dad's quirk, it won't be enough.' Ruby thought in fear.
'All Might has passed his limits already.' Izuku thought while clenching his free fist.
"Considered this revenge for what you did to Nomu and Cinder!" Shigaraki shouted as he and Roman charged at the two heroes with their hands open.
"All Might, get back!" Qrow shouted as he aimed his weapon at Shigaraki, getting ready to fire while Kurogiri trails behind Roman and Shigaraki.
*WOOSH*
Both sides are rather surprised as they glance over to see Izuku and Ruby on each side after using their quirks, with Izuku breaking his legs.
"Whoa, Midoriya!" Kirishima exclaimed as he and the rest of the classmates were surprised by Izuku and Ruby's plan.
"No, Ruby!" Yang cried out and was about to run in until she was halted by Shoto.
"Little Red and Green Bean!?" Roman exclaimed.
"Do you two have a death wish?" Shigaraki gasped as he was shocked by their speed.
"Don't you touch All Might!" Izuku screams as he prepares to punch Kurogiri's neck metal plate.
"Leave my dad alone!" Ruby shouts as she prepares to use her scythe to trip both Roman and Shigaraki.
"You stupid villains!" The two students said in unison, only for Roman and Shigaraki to reach their hands through Kurogiri's warp gate as they're about to touch Ruby and Izuku's face.
"I won't fall for that again." Kurogiri claimed.
"Bad move, kids." Roman said as he's about to grab Ruby's face.
"Game over." Shigaraki cackles as he's about to grab Izuku's face until…
*BANG*
Shigaraki and Roman's hand got shot, creating a bullet wound as the two students fell onto the ground while everyone else turned over to where the gunfire came from.
"They're here." All Might smirked.
"About damn time." Qrow chuckled as the Pro Hero and Teacher of UA, Snipe, fired his gun again in another direction, causing the bullets to travel to the Mountain Zone and hit the electric villain in the shoulders, surprising the rest of the villains.
"Sorry everyone. I know we're a bit late, but I got the teachers over here as fast as I could." The students look over and smile with joy as they see Nezu walking forward to the edge of the stairs.
"Your class rep has returned. I've fulfilled my duty and I've brought reinforcements!" Tenya announces as he's standing next to the entire Teachers and Staff members of UA.
The villains growl in annoyance as they begin to charge and attack the reinforcements. Present Mic let out a simple sigh and walked forwards before taking a deep breath and spoke through his mics.
"YEEEEAAAAHHHH!" Present Mic unleashed a powerful sound-wave that causes the majority of the villain underlings to flinch in pain.
Ectoplasm took this opportunity by opening his mouth, releasing a stream of ectoplasm as it transforms into an army of Ectoplasm clones. The clones rush down the stairs before kicking the villains.
"Our priority is to protect all of our students." Nezu commanded with a smile, prompting the other teachers to charge in, knocking the villains out one by one.
"Damn it, the pros are here." Shigaraki hissed with disgust. "It's game over for us."
"Right when we were about to get our big score." Roman sighs as he puts his gloves back on. He then looks over and sees more bullets aiming towards him and Shigaraki, prompting him to use his free hand to fire his cane as the two gunshots explode upon collision.
"We need someone who can capture them from a distance." Snipe said as he continued to fire his gun, only for Kurogiri to take the bullets for his companions.
"I'm on it." Snipe stopped firing his gun and turned to see Thirteen using her quirk to suck up Kurogiri, prompting him to create a warp gate to get him, Cinder, Roman, and Shigaraki out of the facility.
"We may have failed to kill you this time, but your days are numbered. All Might, Symbol of Peace, I am going to kill you and destroy everything that you love." Shigaraki declared as he, Roman, Cinder, and Kurogiri disappeared due to the latter's quirk.
(A/N)
And that is it for the USJ Arc!
This took a while because it was hard to figure out what new things to add to this chapter. That and the craziness of 2020 along with the pandemic.
I do hope that you guys enjoy this chapter. I was going to have it end with the students arriving back at UA, but I thought I might save it for the next chapter.
A lot of you may be surprised that Yang was the one who pinned Kurogiri down instead of Bakugo. That's because I wanted to show a small glance of what their rivalry would look like in later chapters.
See ya in the next chapter!
