Chapter Text
Izuku took a deep breath as he looked over the staging area, he'd never warped such a large force before and he was sure that this was going to hurt him but what could possibly beat the surprise of having a squadron of police, SWAT, and pro heroes materializing out of nowhere. It reminded him of the USJ and the irony was palpable, a weapon used for evil was now on the side of justice.
Nighteye looked at his watch before confirming. "All For None, it's time."
Izuku took another breath and reached deep, pulling as much of the quirk out at once as he could, suddenly a massive gate opened and the veritable army charged through the portal before appearing directly in front of the Yakuza compound.
Nighteye was quick to stress the police. "Once you read the warrant were charging in."
Aizawa was sidelining the problem child as they ran. "Midoriya are you alright?"
"I should be fine, let's just not do another one of those." He quickly answered knowing the next warp attack as he'd lovingly come to calling them be would be unpleasant to say the very least.
The rest of the compound team ran with them. Said group contained Mirio, Izuku, Aizawa, Momo, Nighteye, Rocklock, Tamaki, Kirishima, Fatgum, and a few of the police.
The officer who was to begin the operation started reading the warrant but only managed to get halfway through before the door was smashed off its hinges and a few of the police closest to the door were sent flying. Momo was quick and caught them all with Blackwhip before setting them down gently.
"EH? WHO ARE YOU ALL COMING KNOCKING SO RUDELY!" The behemoth of a man spoke.
Rikiya Katsukame Izuku thought before running straight toward the man and connecting with a palm strike to his chest, robbing him of this quirk while simultaneously sending him flying into the building, one down. His pace not even slightly halting he ran straight into the hole he made in the building before noticing the canon fodder were looking at him from the hallways inside. Izuku grinned, not that they could see it under his mask, he activated Tempo and Galeforce plus Quirk Enhancer and literally blasted his way through the minions, their bodies were strewn along the hallway in his wake.
The rest of the combat group could barely keep pace with the boy's wanton havoc. "Damn it problem child, I knew he was going to go off like this."
Momo sighed she'd known as well, though she could hardly blame him, Momo herself wanted to rip Overhaul into pieces for what'd he done to what was essentially her surrogate daughter. She'd just done a better job at restraining herself, she no doubt would lose that restraint once they made contact with the man but for now she simply upped herself to 13% and jumped after the wake of destruction known as Izuku Midoriya.
The only other person among them being able to keep pace was Mirio and after he received a curt nod from Sir he was after the other two in a flash, he couldn't let himself be outdone by his kohai after all.
Rocklock only could look on in awe. "Should we be worried?"
"No ... as angry as those problem children are, they're rational. They're only going ahead to delay the enemy, Izuku will no doubt wait for backup before engaging Overhaul." Aizawa almost whistled at the carnage left in the wake of his student, these criminals never stood a chance, nor the building itself, he'd effectively blown apart the thing as he went.
Izuku felt it, he felt his body pulse in sheer glee as he started inflicting his pain upon the enemy but more importantly he felt anger, righteous burning anger. 'How dare these low lifes do what they did to Eri.' Izuku quickly reached the spot where the hidden entrance to the basement was and crashed straight through it entering the lower levels of the compound before activating Zoom, Tempo, and Dark Vision. He scanned briefly before noticing a small group fleeing about half a kilometer to his east. In addition to that one person who was much closer than the others seemed to be inside the walls themselves, Irinaka Joi.
All For None was broken from his musings as a Lemillion dropped from the ceiling followed by a Deva landing behind him. "Status report." She called.
"Irinaka Joi is hiding in the walls about 100 feet in front of us, he's directly in the path that leads to Overhaul and his minions. Considering he's in the walls, a feat which is far stronger than his quirk is supposed to be capable of manipulating, trigger use is highly likely." Izuku stated matter of factly.
Lemillion upon hearing that quickly leapt forward. "I'll buy time for you two to catch up, defeat Mimic quickly!"
The other two quickly jumped after him not wanting to be left behind but as the wall's started to collapse in Izuku knew there were two options, stay and protect her and fight Mimic together or... "Momo I trust you."
She just smiled. "Go, I'll be there before you know it."
Izuku smiled back not that she could see it, using the collapsing gap in the hallway Izuku opened a portal and jumped to the farthest point he could see down the hallway, effectively skipping past the section that Mimic was closing in on itself.
Noticing he'd not only failed to stop one person but two, Irinaka instantly knew who he was dealing with, the bosses main target. Hell he recognized the horn as being Eri's instantly, so it was time to enact their plan. Before he could charge off after them however an explosive detonated in a section of the wall that was a little too close for comfort. He turned back and looked to see the girl that he'd managed to stop wearing some kind of mask that she previously hadn't been, but what alerted him the most was the way her gaze seemed to follow him. Thermal goggles he cursed, one of his best weapons was the fact he couldn't be seen inside the walls but she could see him more than easily, nullifying that particular advantage. Hoping to end it quickly, Mimic sent a section of the wall to crush the girl, his glee was ruined when she started crackling with black lightning and a club appeared smashing the section of the wall he sent at her.
26% full body, Deva internally screamed as her carbon weapon impacted the target. Now how to deal with her current opponent, if he got too far inside the walls she would no longer be able to see him, in addition to that his near full control of cement walls and building worried her. Not to mention actually getting to him would be an issue, the only comforting fact was that it seemed he needed to remain close to the areas he was manipulating. The rest of the assault team would be here soon and Momo wanted to have dealt with her troubling opponent before they arrived. She leapt to the side dodging another piece of incoming wall before smashing it to pieces with her club as well. Momo quickly remembered the psychological profile of the villain in front of her, the one she'd gone over with Izuku days prior. The important bit was what she could manipulate about the man, inferiority complex, and quick to anger. "What? Does Overhaul's little bitch ass need protection from a little girl like me?" Momo giggled slightly at her crass use of language, Hagakure would be proud.
Mimic not being one to let that go revealed himself to yell at his opponent. "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FUCKING HARLOT, HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT THE BOS-" He barely ducked back inside the wall as a small needle like object impacted with the space he'd been seconds prior. Irinaka viewed the foreign object with some level of curiosity, the needle almost looked like the bosses quirk erasing bullets but he highly doubted that's what it was.
Well, she tried. New plan was ripping this building to shreds, but before Momo could enact plan, 'smash her way to her opponent', the assault team arrived. "Problem child what's going on?" A stern voice asked.
"All For None and Lemillion went on ahead, I'm preventing the villain known as Mimic from chasing after them, he's suspected to be on trigger." The girl replied.
Nighteye walked over and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder forcing her to turn and look at him before activating his quirk. "Go, they're going to need you, we'll handle this ... Deva."
Needing no further prompting the pro hero in training launched herself towards the wall where the hall closed in on itself before breaking her way through with another burst of 26%.
"What'd you see?" Rocklock asked.
"Nothing good." Was his curt reply.
"We gotta go help em then, can't leave the kids to fend fer em selves." Fatgum added.
Kirishima remained silent, torn between his two choices, he wanted to go help his fellow students but the pro's also needed him here, he was the only speedster left among the group.
Tamaki didn't like hearing that and wanted to run after her to help his friend but he knew the pro heroes needed him more at the moment. Sprouting a chickens claw from his feet and clam shells from his arms he lifted the shells to block as a section of the wall came at them. Only for the group to be knocked back and together before a hole appeared in the floor leaving them all to plummet to the depths of the building.
Back with Lemillion and All For None
The yellow haired tintin having just phased through the wall noticed as a portal opened in front of him and a familiar green haired teen stepped out. "Deva will be fine, we're being sent ahead."
"Understood." Was all that Lemillion replied with before slipping back into the floor and warping himself further down the hall.
Izuku could only stare in awe as he bounded after the teen, the level of fine control he possessed with that quirk was amazing. Considering the lay out of this building if he went even slightly too far down he would phase out on the ceiling of the room's below but instead he kept warping forward. The timing for that must be insane and Izuku literally has a quirk that increases his reaction time. However letting himself out of his stupor he upped his total musclage a bit as the other teen was slightly outpacing him. However before he could catch up with his classmate he reactivated dark vision only just in time to notice that somehow 5 figures were inside the wall to his right. Izuku skidded to a stop barely dodging the section of wall as it was launched at him, instead it slammed into the hallway adjacent. Izuku cursed at his luck. "LEMILLION I SWEAR YOU BETTER NOT LET HIM GET AWAY!"
Lemillion just nodded before bounding off.
Izuku activated tempo and stepped backwards, two Kendou Rappa's, two Deidoro Sasaki's and one Tengai Hekiji. Twice must be here Izuku realized, only for the two Rappa's to surge forward and both swing a fist at the spot Izuku had been standing. He looked down at the two from his position on the ceiling and scoffed. "Really he thought all it'd take was you 5 to stop me? Arrogance isn't something I'd consider a trait of mine, but I defeated one of your strongest fighters in a single blow and in less than a second. Frankly I'm insulted."
Both Rappa's let out a manic grin, and spoke in unnatural unison, they are the same person Izuku mused. "You know what we think? You got the boss scared and that man's killed us over twenty times as we kept challenging him over and over. And you know what that makes us?"
Izuku just tilted his head.
"THAT'S GOT US FUCKING EXCITED!" They both screamed as they leapt towards the ceiling.
Izuku opened a portal behind him and slipped in appearing behind the other three hoping to make quick work of them. However as Izuku took his first step out of the portal he stumbled over, his body felt off, he could barely stand without swaying back and forth. 'What the hell is this?' Izuku thought.
"HYAHYAHYAH FEELING A BIT TIPSY ARE WE?" The Deidoros laughed mockingly. "Your leeeeegssss feeling a bit shaky eh?" The duo sloshed out as they both poured liquid down their throats.
Everybody present turned to stare at Izuku while the both of those two clones started climbing the walls like some kind of monkey, and it looks like their drinking alcohol? Does his quirk let him transfer his current mental state? Is Izuku drunk now? Izuku saw a yellowish tint appear around him as he fumbled about on the floor, that's the barrier quirk. He can just warp out, so what was the purpose of that? Suddenly the floor opened up beneath, 'tch like that'd work'. He just activated float and looked at them with a questioning glare while tilting his head. The look of arrogance seemed to irritate Tengai greatly once he realized that plan wasn't going to work. Also that raised even more questions, was Mimic here? Shit Izuku was over analyzing again, the barrier dropped and the Rappa's were upon him once more.
Izuku activated Snapshot and observed their flurry, it was careless and sloppy. They just threw their fists out without thinking only to let the man's quirk cover the gaps, formulating his strategy while under the intoxicating effects of the villains quirk was annoying but he was slowly getting the hang of this feeling, not to mention he can't stumble while floating. Izuku ducked under the left one's first rapid jab while accounting for the other's incoming fist by catching it with his own. Izuku felt some of his muscle get ripped off as the blow hit bruising his palm heavily but nothing major in the long run, he tried to pull the man's quirk out but realized this one was the clone because he couldn't. So instead Izuku broke the man's outstretched hand and watched as it started condensing into that familiar goop. Not forgetting there was another Rappa Izuku used his other arm to blast himself backwards to avoid the incoming flurry.
Izuku's back hit that barrier quirk from earlier and he was forced to watch in slow motion as Rappa's fist came for him. Izuku still had his arm outstretched toward the man so he did the only thing he could. "Galeforce plus strength enhancement." The man's fist managed to push through the wind but his body didn't and he went careening backwards as 300 mph wind slammed into his body. One of the Deidoros was forced to watch as the other had an absolute unit of a man slam into them. No goop Izuku realized, so that was the real one.
Tengai realizing their ambush was a bust screamed out. "MIMIC! GET US OUT OF HERE!"
The people in question just dropped into the floor as the ground went out from beneath them. Unfortunate, Izuku had just shown a great deal of his hand, not to mention the light injuries he'd received during the scuffle and all he had to show for it was an unconscious Deidoro. 'Oh well' Izuku thought before bounding after Lemillion and Overhaul while activating Minor Regeneration as he went.
The compound team
Fatgum shot his interns and fellow coworkers out of his belly as he strained to get up. "Everyone alright?"
The cops just nodded while the heroes and heroes in training took stock of their current location. Eraserhead just groaned as they realized they'd basically been trapped, this was just a massive hole.
"Rocklock, you Kirishima and Tamaki get out of here and go assist them. They think backup is coming and myself, Fatgum, and Eraserhead cannot escape like you three can." Nighteye lamented being stupid enough to let the enemies quirk trap them like this. But wait didn't he see Eraserhead with Izuku for the upcoming battle? Sure enough the man was already trying to climb his way out. "Stop, that's a wasted effort."
"I'm not going to stop and leave my students to fight that madman alone Nighteye. I don't care how irrational it is, I AM going to help them." Aizawa snarled back at the man.
"No, what I meant was Red Riot, can you take Eraserhead's capture weapon up with you and then you three can haul us out of here a few at a time." Nighteye replied.
Aizawa bit his tongue, that was a slightly better plan then climb your way out of a near 50 feet deep pit. He sighed handing his weapon over to his student. "Be careful and make sure no one's up there waiting to ambush you."
"You got it teach!" Kirishima enthusiastically replied before shunpoing himself straight into the wall at the very top of the pit, a suicidal move to the ordinary human but Kirishima's body can stop bullets making the impact only slightly uncomfortable as he made contact with the surface. He quickly used the arm not holding the capture tape to grab onto the ledge as to not fall back down the hall before hoisting himself up and out of the hole. Once he was up and reasonably certain that there were no enemies nearby he started unraveling the cloth and lowering it into the hole, Kirishima was joined seconds later as Rocklock and Suneater climbed their way out. Well Rocklock more simply froze the air as he went up while Tamaki actually climbed his way out. They both joined the red haired teen and grabbed the cloth as the three of them waited to support the weight of their allies.
Eraserhead eagerly grabbed on and hoisted himself up quickly, he had some danger prone students to save after all. "I'm going ahead, be careful!" The man sternly told his students as he went.
It took awhile to get the rest of the heroes and the police out of the hole but as each person came up the task became easier and easier as they had more people to hold the cloth as they pulled them up. The last person up was Fatgum as determined by the group, they knew they needed as many people as possible to lift the absolutely massive man. Once everyone had been pulled back to the surface of the pit they immediately started running down the hall as Nighteye talked. "We need to hurry, they need as much help as they can possibly get. Overhaul has more than one quirk." Nighteye hated his quirk, it only ever confirmed his worst fears and the bodies of his friends and coworkers were all too present in what he saw.
Back with Momo
Momo didn't like how this hallway was bending and twisting, it had been a straight pathway before. That likely meant that the villain known as Mimic had altered it somehow, or that they had fake passages prepared in advance. It wouldn't surprise her, Overhaul was nothing if not paranoid and the man had a vendetta against someone with a warp quirk, he likely prepared heavily to stop Izuku. THAT worried her, at least Mirio was with him. A whimper brought the girl out of her heard.
"H-help! She's bleeding!" The squeaky voice carried through the halls.
Momo wanted to keep going and reach Izuku but being a hero is about saving lives and who knows who else these horrible people kidnapped. Momo ran towards the sound of the voice and slammed the door open. Inside she saw the bleeding body of Naginata Hina who was being cradled by the other kidnapped student Minoru Mineta. 'Were the bodies fakes?' The idea had some merit to Momo, if they kept them alive Toga could keep using the blood of their victims, not to mention who would look for the bodies of the dead but this could easily be a ploy by the girl to trick her. "What happened?"
"S-some crazy bimbo kidnapped us when we w-were off campus, we'd t-tried to escape but she caught u-us and stabbed H-hina when an alarm was set o-off." The purple grape haired teen stated as he kept trying to hold the wound on the girl closed.
Damn it, Momo couldn't keep being suspicious if she didn't help now the girl was going to die. She quickly moved over as she created a strand of gauze to wrap the girls extensive bleeding. "Help's here it'll be okay, heroes are swarming the building as we speak."
The girl weakly whimpered back, the effort seemed to strain her. "T-tell my ... family ... I l-love them."
Damn it Momo was not letting this girl die on her, she quickly finished her work before putting a hand on the girl's neck. She had no pulse, the ninth quickly created a defibrillator. "You! Keep her neck at a 45 degree angle, and when I say too breathe into her mouth. Have you ever done CPR before?"
For some reason the purple haired teen looked giddy at the idea but he quickly shook his head. "N-no never."
"Hold your breath for 3 seconds, take a break for another 2 seconds, rinse and repeat until her breathing stabilizes." Momo commanded the teen in front of her.
"G-got it!" He quickly responded.
"Clear!" Momo rubbed the devices before planting them onto the girl's chest, who shook violently as the shock coursed throughout her body.
A small creak of the door was all Momo heard before she immediately got up and assumed a battle stance. Barely grabbing the hand holding the knife as it came for her. "Toga."
"Bitch." The yellow haired catlike girl spat back.
"Mineta, keep using the device on her until she regains a stable heartbeat. You save her life and I'll protect you." Momo kept her gaze on Toga while lightning crackled all over her body.
"G-got it!" Mineta screamed as he went to work, clearly in shock from the situation.
"You know my dear Zu really made Mr. Haul so angry. I'm worried for him honestly." A cheshire grin spread over the girls face. "Once I kill you and bathe in your blood I'm going to go help him kill Mr. Haul." Toga started squirming at the thought.
"Are you the real one?" Momo asked, she knew Izuku wanted to save this girl but she was so far gone, not to mention this was also her failure. She felt the need to help her just as much as Izuku did.
"Well - who - knows?" The crazy catgirl sing songed.
Notes:
Everyone seems to keep asking about it, the Quirk Enhancer is the Strength Enhancement quirk he stole from All For One, also here's a straw poll. Should I have Izuku take Overhaul or not? https/www.straw poll.me/21179537
