-15 minutes before the event of USJ-
"Not wearing your hero costume, Mochi-kun?" Setsuna approached Aki from behind.
After Kan had informed them of what to do, everyone rushed to the changing rooms. Majority decided to use their hero costumes for the rescue training, while the rest, who had to send their costumes to the Support Course for upgrade, chose PE uniform.
"Y-yeah, I noticed the costumes aren't fireproof, so I sent it to the Support Course for upgrades."
And true. Aki tried to use the Firecrackers on his prosthetic hand, only to result in it burning his left sleeve.
"B-but I still have my prosthetic arm and swords, so it won't affect much."
Aki said, slightly raised his left arm, showing the mechanicals that wrapped around it, and two katanas hanged by his left hip. A blunt one that he used for training yesterday, and the one that was given to him by Wolf.
Setsuna whistle a tune of understanding before putting on mischievous grin,
"Well, I have to use my hero costume since detaching my body will result in torn clothes," she said, before cupping her hands under her breast,
"I mean, I like you and all that but using these puppies now? Too soon."
Evidently, Setsuna's teasing works, considering Aki's beat read face and incomprehensible muttering.
"Wkdfbnbequwbewiasadjajasndinfgeinlala-"
Setuna let out a quick laugh as she patted Aki on the back,
"Man you're too easy. Come on, everyone is waiting!"
"Setsuna! Mochizuki-san! Over here!"
Itsuka waved her hand. Apart from his class, there are other students, who Aki presumed, were from 1-A. Coming from the crowd was Itsuka and two other students. A guy who wore a metal armor set and a girl who wore a skimpy red costume that split in half at her chest, revealing her cleavage, which Aki had to use all his might not to look down.
"Mochizuki-san, these are the class reps of 1-A. Iida Tenya-san and Yaoyorozu Momo-san."
Itsuka introduced the two, before they introduced themselves.
"It's an honor to meet a fellow class rep! My name is Iida Tenya, class president of 1-A!" the armor annouced with a hand chopping the air.
"As Kendou-san has said, my name is Yaoyorozu Momo. It's a pleasure to meet you,…." The goddess(?) in the revealing costume politely said.
"Oh, uh… Mochizuki Aki, vice rep of 1-B. Pleasure to meet you two?"
"Mochizuki-kun," Itsuka clapped her hands together, gaining the attention from the black hair boy,
"Yaoyorozu-san and I were talking, and we thought it's a good idea if both class split among each other so that everyone could get acquainted. What do you think?"
"I mean..it's fine. We ARE working together later. But would the rest agreed with it? By the rest, I mean Monoma-san."
"I'll take care of Monoma. If you agree with it, then we're good to go!"
Kendou raised her fist, showing a fist bump which Aki hesitantly bumped back.
The two classes then split among each other to get on the buses. After getting on his bus, Aki noticed a familiar yet unexpected green, fluffy hair.
"Midoriya?"
The owner of said hair flinched, before he slowly raised his head and showed an awkward smile.
"H-hello, Aki-kun. L-long time no see."
Just as Aki was about to say something, a very tired looking man came onto the bus,
"Settle down. We're heading to the USJ now."
Aki glanced at Izuku with the eyes that said 'We'll talk later' before sitting down next to Momo.
"Mochizuki-san, I heard from Aizawa-sensei that you came 4th in the general entrance exam. May I ask what your Quirk is?"
Momo question seems to catch the attention of the bus. Aki could see eyes staring at him. Admire? Doubt? Jealousy? He wasn't sure, but it wasn't comfortable being the centre of attention, that's for sure.
"W-well, I mean it's not that impressive, you know. Just a normal Quirk….."
Momo's expectant, innocent stare at him wasn't helping with the nervousness he felt. Decided to get it over with, Aki bluntly stated.
"Resurrection."
Apart from Izuku and the students from 1-B, shock gasps could be heard through out the bus. He could even noticed the teacher (driver?) slightly leaned back to listen in to the conversation.
'Well, this never gets old, I guess." Aki thought amusingly at the reaction.
After a very chaotic while of explaining, the arrival at USJ turned the attention of students away from Aki, much to his relief. He disliked being the center of attention and besides, he got to interro- ask someone a question.
"Midoriya, get your ass over here."
Aki whispered to the green-haired boy as he pulled him over to the side.
"Explain, now. You ceased contacts with me for a month and then out of nowhere, you're here." With a serious face and slightly rough tone, Aki questioned Izuku, who looked scared and guilty. Aki felt bad about being angry with his friend, but this need to be done.
"Not that I'm not happy for you, it's your dream school after all. I just need to know…how? Aren't you…"
"I-I'm sorry! I-It just…things have been crazy lately. I-I know it's hard to b-believe but.."
Izuku stuttering was still as bad. If Aki has social anxiety, Izuku couldn't even talked to anyone normally, except his mom. Even with Aki whom he has known for quite a long time, Izuku could barely talked a whole sentence without stuttering. Not that Aki has any trouble with it, he was always good at reading people.
"My Q-Quirk manifested a-a month ago."
"…What? I'm sorry but for a minute there, I heard that you…..developed a Quirk?"
"I-I know it's h-hard to believe, but it's true. I-I really wanted to-to talk with you about it, b-but then there's the Entrance Exam, a-and I still having a h-hard time understanding this as well."
*sigh* "I don't know how to react right now. I'm mad that you hide such an important thing from me…."
Izuku could only scarily looked down at his shoes.
"What's with the down face? I haven't finished. I'm happy for you. Being a hero would be safer with a Quirk after all. But next time, just please…talk to me okay? You're my friend. I'm worry about you…"
Aki let out a small smile,
"Come on. Let's head back. Everyone is waiting." He said, before patting Izuku's fluffy hair and heading back to his classmates.
He didn't notice the blush that came onto Izuku's face.
"Mochizuki-san, what took you so long?"
Yanagi asked. She was wearing a grey kimono with dark grey fur wrapped around her neck. Her face was covered by black half-mask that contradict her color scheme. Her hands was still in the same way as a ghost, which Aki never told anyone that he thought it was cute.
"Nothing. Just catching up. Did I miss anything?"
"Fortunately not. The teachers are still waiting for everyone to arrive before they start to go through this trial that we must overcome."
Seeing that Aki and Izuku were finally back, a woman in spacesuit started.
"Floodwrecks, landslides, fires, etc. This is a practical training area I created to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters, and its name is the Unforseen Simulator Joint."
Somewhere in the background, Aki could hear some groans about the name.
"It's the Space Hero 'No. 13' "
"She's the hero who does phenomenal work helping with disaster relief!"
Izuku and a girl excitedly yelled out before Kan-sensei and Aizawa-sensei, whom he learned the name from a 1-A student, approached 13 and said something at the volume only both of them could hear.
Aki habit of eavesdropping caught him interested in the conversation. He focused his hearing at the conversation, but due to the noise made by the students, he could only make out a few words came out of their mouth.
"…..All Might?...here…this time." Kan's voice.
"From what I….he used up….Now he's resting…." Thirteen's voice.
"…the height of irrational. Let's continue." Aizawa's voice.
The conversation was really interesting, but Aki was quickly snapped out of it by 13's voice.
"Before we begin, just one thing….or two…..or three…"
*cough* Aizawa faked cough snapped Thirteen out of her train of thought as she continued.
"Sorry, Senpai. I'm quite new to this. I think you all are quite aware, but my Quirk is called Black Hole. No matter what material get sucked into its vortex, I'm afraid it will turn to dust."
That's a very overpowered, convenient Quirk, except it was all so very…
"Dangerous. A power that could easily be used to kill people and in that way, everyone here could do it as well. Before you joined UA, public use of Quirk was restricted to only heroes. I'm sure that after your physical strength test and battle training, you are well aware of the potential and the sense of danger your Quirks could brought."
"This lesson will serve as a fresh start! Let's get to studying about how to wield our Quirks for the sake of human life!"
With a quick bow, 13 ended her speech,
"That is all! You have my gratitude for listening so intently and patiently!"
A loud round of applause from all the students proved that they understood and appreciated 13 speech to their hearts content.
"All right, first thing first…"
Aizawa words were interrupted as he saw a vortex opened at the middle of the lobby below and came through it,
Was a blue-haired man with a hand covered his face.
"Huddle Together And Do Not Move!"
Aizawa shouted as the students turned to him confusingly.
"13! Kan! Protect the students!"
More people came through the portal.
"What is that? Is that like the training practice at the entrance exam?" Questioned Kirishima.
"Don't Move! Those Are Real Villains!"
Panic and confusion spread through the students before a voice calmly said through the portal,
"Eraserhead, No.13 and….Vlad King? According to the teachers' curriculum we procured earlier, All Might is supposed to be here while Vlad King shouldn't."
"Was that what lunch was...?" Aki couldn't help but questioned to himself.
An impatient, grumpy voice started,
"Where is he…? We went through all this trouble and rustled up so many of us to bring along.
You can't tell me All Might…the Symbol of Peace….isn't here?"
"I wonder….."
Shivers sent through the whole place,
"Would he shows up if we kill a few kids?"
"So 'perfectly safe', you said. Not as you thought huh, Kan-sensei?"
Aki sarcastically said to Kan, who wasn't listening because he and Eraserhead jumped to the villain to hold them of, while 13 leading the students to run towards the entrance.
"I know you all aren't happy with what is happening. But right now, we must get back to the entrance and ale-"
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that."
13 was interrupted by a black mist that formed in front of the group,
"Our purpose here today is to put an end to the famous 'Symbol Of Peace' but alas, he isn't here. I guess we'll just have to kill a few students as a declaration."
Bakugou and Kirishima jumped at the black mist but to no avail. The mist simply dispersed for a quick second before continuing,
"I guess you ARE Hero Student after all. No matter, since you all will be scattered!"
The Villain said before hauling the group with black mist,
"And tortured!"
One by one, students slowly disappeared, only left a few left.
"And slain!"
"Shit, he couldn't have landed us easier." Aki grumbled before getting back on his feet.
Around him were 5 other person. Momo, Reiko, Yui and a girl with earphone jack as her earlobes and a blonde with lightning streak on his hair.
"Everybody okay?" Aki asked.
"All good." The blonde said.
"I'm unharmed." Reiko announced.
Yui nodded.
"I'm fine, too." Momo said.
"Same here." The violet-haired woman said.
"Guess we got teleported here away from the rest. To avoid any confusion, Mochizuki Aki. That quiet gal with black hair over here is Kodai Yui." Aki said, pointed to Yui next to him
"Yanagi Reiko."
"Yaoyorozu Momo."
"Kaminari Denki."
"Jirou Kyouka."
"Getting friendly there, aren't we? Let us join." A voice came from behind.
Without missing a beat, Aki drew his sword out to deflect the incoming knife just in time. Slowly, Villains started to approach the group by closing in around them. The other 5 quickly stood up and prepared themselves, even though fear was visible on their face.
"We need to break through their formation." Momo yelled.
"Agree." Aki said, turning his head to the two punk-outfit heroes,
"What can you guys do?" He asked.
"I-I can attack them with my amplified heartbeat sound. He can release electricity." Kyouka said.
"But it'll hurt you guys as well! Besides, it turns me into an idiot, so I'll have to count on you guys!" Kaminari said as he flashed Aki a thumbs-up.
"Understood. Jirou-san, blast their ears off. Yaoyorozu-san, try to make us some weapons. Kodai-san, Reiko-san, try cover us with your Quirks. Kaminari-san, you….do your best."
"Got it! What about you?" Momo asked as she pulled out a long baton from under her arm.
Loaded the shurikens on his prosthetic arm, Aki threw them at the Villains who tried to jump the group,
"Show these motherfuckers a bad day."
And dashed to the group of Villains in front of him. Positioning his sword at his lower left side, Aki jumped ahead with an upper-right slash that hit two villains in front of him. With a round spin, another slash hit from the higher-left to the lower-right of Aki side, knocking another one out before he landed the ground with his feet,
"Whirlwind Slash."
The group of Villains were shocked at the sudden defeat of their allies, but quickly regain their composure before charging towards Aki, before being abruptly stopped by a storm of boulders falling on top of them. Reiko's Poltergeist controlled the boulders by hovering it on top of the villains. Seeing that she gained the attention, Reiko released the boulders, before them being enlarged by Yui's Size. Yui excellent controls over her Quirk made the boulders large enough to immobilize the enemies, not fatal to them.
Momo, using her baton, pushed off those who tried to reach Kyouka, who was blasting the villains from all direction. Kaminari acted as a human taser, electrified those who touched him.
"What the hell are these kids!? They shouldn't be obliterating us like this!" A random villain shouted, before being knocked out by Aki from behind.
"We outnumbered them! Keep surrounding and closing in on them!" The guy with a skull mask who appeared to be the leader, gave him command.
"I got an idea! Kaminari-san, prepared to use all of your electric! Mochizuki-san, find cover while the rest of you, under this blanket!" Momo yelled.
Quickly understood what Momo was planning, Aki jumped away and used his grappling hook to launch himself away from the confusing Villain, before a surge of electricity hit them.
"I must admit, Midoriya-san. I had doubt over your plan but turns out, it works splendidly!"
Ibara bowed her head to a very embarrassing Izuku. The group containing Izuku, Tsuyu, Mineta and Ibara was teleported to the Flood Zone. After being surrounded on a boat by the villains, Izuku came up with a plan to get the group out of there. Ibara at first, rejected the plan as it involved Izuku breaking his finger but seeing that there are no other choices, she followed. Thankfully, the plan works wonderfully as the group managed to escape without much injuries, being Izuku's broken finger and Mineta's head bleeding over being hit by Ibara's vines and Tsuyu's tongue.
"I-It's n-nothing. W-we should head back to t-the entrance. The rest ma-Get down!"
Izuku stopped in his track, before he crouched down followed by the rest.
They were staring at their teachers being stepped on by a bird-mouth muscular….thing with its brain revealing on its head. The creature stepped on Aizawa with its left leg and pinned Kan on the floor with its right hand while expressionlessly staring in front. The leader with a hand on his face maniacally laughed, mocking the heroes,
"Hahaha! What do you think, hEroES!? How do you like our weapon, the All Might's Killer?"
Aizawa struggled to get the creature feet off, only to be stepped on again.
"But it's meaningless, you know! All Might ain't even here!"
"I wonder,"
He said.
Before turning to the group of students.
"Would he come here if I kill a kid or two?"
And lunged towards them with his hand out, grabbing Ibara's face.
"God, that was scary!" Kyouka grumbled as she walked next to Momo.
"I agree. I didn't expect any of them to have an Electric-resistance Quirk."
"Wheyyyy~" Kaminari flash both thumbs-up.
"Is he….always like this…?" Questioned Reiko, looking at the electric user with the dumb face.
"When he overused his Quirk, yes."
Yui narrowed her eyes.
"Anyway….Let's head back to the entrance and regroup with the others." Aki said.
"Indeed. Le-Is that….Aizawa-sensei…?" Momo eyes widely opened, before she shakily pointed at the horrifying scene below.
"Vlad-sensei is down there as well." Reiko said, before another thing caught her eyes,
"Shiozaki-san and others! They're below there as well. We must came to their assistance at once!"
Not wasting one second, Aki jumped down, while the others hastily made their way down.
"You're such a cool guy, huh, Eraserhead…."
The leader boringly said with his hand on Ibara's face. With a sigh he looked down at Aizawa, who activated his Quirk and stared at the leader.
"Nomu."
With a simple hand gesturing, Aizawa's head was slammed down the floor by the Villain that stepped on him. Vlad tried to use his Quirk to help, but the Nomu squeezed his grip, causing Vlad to groan in pain.
"Looks like time's up ki-Argh!"
3 shurikens were thrown at the hand that grabbed Ibara's face. The man flinched by the sudden attack, turned to where the shurikens were thrown, only to be kicked in the face by Aki.
"Urgh! Damn you! Nomu, take care of him." Hand-for-face yelled out.
The 'Nomu', reacted at the command, left Aizawa and Kan to jump toward Aki. It tried to punch Aki, only to be blocked by the katana. The force of the punch however, was so strong that it pushed Aki back.
"Another NPC with a death wish…Nomu, finish him."
The Nomu jumped at Aki, who quickly rolled away to right side before throwing firecrackers at the creature. Flinched by the noise, the Nomu let out a painful shriek. Seeing the opportunity, Aki held the katana with both hands and thrusted the sword into the Nomu's chest.
To Aki's confusion, the Nomu didn't seem to be affected by the attack as it reached out its hand and grabbed Aki by the head.
"Hey! Over here!"
Setsuna waved at the group of students who were carrying Kan and Aizawa as they head toward her.
The mist villain has left after Iida ran away to get help, so the students who weren't being teleported were patching up No.13 and helped the other students who alsomade it back from wherever they were teleported.
"Are you guys okay!? Were you hurt?"
Itsuka ran to the groups, looking at them up and down to check for injuries.
"We're fine, but Aizawa-sensei and Kan-sensei were hurt pretty badly by that…thing. Mochizuki-san is distracting it now, but he won't last!"
The loud shriek caught everyone's attention as they turned toward the lobby.
To their horror, Aki's deathblow stabbed didn't affect the Nomu at all as they watched the thing grabbed their classmate by the head.
"No!"
The man, now identify as Shigaraki heard the students' scream while talking with black mist villain. His head snapped towards them and his angry face was now replaced by a maniac grin.
"Looks like our plan to kill All Might failed because of your carelessness, Kurogiri."
"But at least we can leave them a good-bye present. Nomu!"
"Kill him."
Following the command, the Nomu grip tightened. Aki struggled to get out were meaningless as his consciousness were slowly slipping away with the pain caused by the grip.
He stopped struggling, eventually,
After a loud crack were heard throughout the whole USJ.
Setsuna covered her mouth with her hands as tears welled up in her eyes. The rest weren't doing any better than her.
Her classmates, 1-A, everyone who was presented at the entrance, could only stare shellshock at the scene of their friend's skull being crushed by the creature.
Ibara, however, couldn't held her tears back as she witnessed Aki got murdered savagely because he saved her. He was murdered because of her.
Kendo's reaction is the worst. Izuku and Yanagi had to physically hold her back from jumping straight down and saved her vice-rep. Despite the fact that every cells in their body was telling them to do the same, they held Kendo back with all their strength, preventing the girl from killing herself. Kendo did her best to push her classmates away from her while screaming at the top of her lungs
"LET ME GO! I NEED TO- WE COULD STILL- WE NEED TO HELP HIM!"
A loud 'thud' was heard as the Nomu dropped Aki's lifeless body, cutting Kendo's word at her throat. Shigaraki maniac laughter was the only thing that could be heard before he calmed down.
"Now that that's outta way. We should g-"
A pillar of ice engulfed the Nomu, interrupting Shigaraki.
"None of you are getting out of here." A cold, emotionless feminine voice was heard.
Todoroki Shoko stood from a side, slamming her feet down the ground to enhance the ice that covered the Nomu's body. She only arrived after she heard the loud 'crack' and saw a body lying on the floor.
She regconized the body.
It was that guy she met a week ago.
She could only stared at him, at his lifeless body. Anger and regret filled her mind. If she was here sooner, if she was stronger, if she had-
Her train of thought was disrupted as Shigaraki let out a tired sigh,
"More NPC to kill. This is getting annoying. Nomu, killed her."
Shoko quickly made and ice wall, only for it to be smashed by the Nomu as it jumped at her. Closing her eyes, Shoko waited for her end.
It didn't come.
However, she could heard firecrackers being thrown as the Nomu let out a painful shriek. Opening her eyes, she could see the guy who she thought was dead seconds ago, jumped on the Nomu's back and slit its throat with his katana before he jumped to her place.
"Todoroki-san, was it? Nice to meet you again, I guess."
The dead(?) guy cheerfully greeted.
"You! You cheated! How are you still alive? I saw Nomu crushed your skull!" Shigaraki exclaimed.
"Have no fear! Why? Because We Are Her- What?"
All might came down from the sky and was left speechless at the scene of a weird creature laying in a pool of blood next to a Villain who was yelling at the students behind him.
The rest of UA's staff burst through the entrance right after. They too, were stunned at what they saw, but Snipe quickly regained his composure and shot at the leader.
Shigaraki cursed in pain, but still glaring dagger at Aki. The black mist villain quickly engulf Shigaraki and himself to make an escape. Seeing that there were no way to go after them, Nezu instructed the teachers to rescue the students who weren't at the entrance and treated those with wounds.
The horror at USJ ended with Nezu mischievously looking at Aki.
After being treated with his wound and gave the police his statements, Aki made his way back to his class.
They stared at him as if they saw a ghost.
"W-What? I didn't grow a second head or something righ-"
Reiko tackled him into a hug as the majority of the class broke into relief tears.
"He's fine! I told you he's fine!" Awase excitedly shouted.
"Thank god, Mochi-kun! We thought you were-" Setsuna stopped in the middle of her sentence.
Reiko's hug tightened.
"What are you guys talking about? I told you about my Qu-"
"Doesn't stop us from worrying after knowing that you were…killed." Monoma let out a relief sigh.
"Yanagi-chan, release him, please?" Kendou said. However, everyone couldn't help but fear the anger in her voice.
Reluctantly, Reiko released Aki but didn't forget to throw at him a worry look.
"Look , Kendou-san. I know you're mad but-"
He didn't get to finish as Itsuka pulled him into a hug, buried her face into his chest.
"Don't EVER pull a stunt like that again…" She threatened with a shaking voice.
Aki was about to reply, but he kept silence as he felt the wet stain on his chest.
His third day at school ended with class 1-B taking turns hugging him, except for Kamakiri who kept pegging him about how he killed the Nomu.
A/N: I swear the god, this chapter is soooo hard.
But that's that. Hope you enjoy the chapter. I have a hard time describing the fight scene so yeah..it sucks.
Next chapter, we'll see how the Wolf household react to the attack.
