Meanwhile, over in the simulation zone that consisted of a ruined city, Katsuki and Eijiro had disposed of a bunch of villains who'd attacked the two of them as soon as they appeared. Eijiro's ability to harden his skin allowed him to deflect many lethal blows, which took many of his opponents by surprise and allowed him to deliver fierce punches in response, and those who attacked Katsuki quickly came to regret their actions.
Most of them didn't get back up after taking a single explosion to the face and the fiery blond was left sorely disappointed. One unlucky villain had this misfortune of being slightly stronger than the rest and took a blast from Katsuki's grenade gauntlet for his troubles, almost bringing down the building they were in.
"Man, fuck these guys, they're weak as shit. Where's the challenge?" Katsuki spat, kicking one downed villain in the ribs.
The man rolled over and groaned, pleadiing for mercy.
"Hey, Bakugo, come on," Eijiro said, wiping sweat off his forehead, "if we got warped in here, then the others must still be in U.S.J and we've got to help them out. Besides, we're in this mess because we disobeyed Thirteen-sensei. It's up to us, outstanding men, to help them out."
Katsuki scoffed, "Whatever, do what you want. I'm gonna murder that warping villain."
"Murder? Uh, that's not a very heroic thing to say, dude." Eijiro laughed, rubbing his head and then tensed as Katsuki whipped around and grabbed a villain, who tried to knife him in the back, by the face and unleashed a small explosion, lightly burning his face and then slammed his head into the floor.
"Also, if the rest of these assholes are as weak as these extras, then that warping villain shouldn't give us any trouble." The Explosion quirk user replied calmly.
Eijiro just had to call out the elephant in the room, "Man, it's so strange seeing you acting so chill and level-headed. Normally, you're all like 'DIE, DEKU, DIE'! or 'HOW DARE YOU TAKE FIRST PLACE FROM ME. I'LL KILL YOU, ASSHOLE'!"
Katsuki snarled at him, a prominent vein throbbing in his temple, "What the fuck, Shitty Hair, I'm always level-headed!"
The redhead just laughed as if the anger amused him, "Hey, that's more like it. Now then, let go and see if Yaoyorozu needs our help."
"Which fucking one, dumbass!? Ponytail or Trench Face," Katsuki deadpanned, "and if those morons can't handle weak-ass punks like these guys, then they don't deserve to be Class President and Vice-President."
"Thirteen," Kurogiri mused, his glowing eyes looking over the students he'd failed to warp to other parts of the building, "you are nothing more than a rescue hero. Do you really expect to be able to protect these children? Do you have the mettle to fight?"
The astronaut themed hero didn't respond, instead opting to point their arm at the dark mass in-front of her and flip open the tips of a glove.
"Black Hole!"
Kurogiri grunted as his shadowy form was drawn towards the hole in Thirteen's glove. Wisps of his body were torn away from him, dragged into the tight stream of air that was being sucked into the gravity well.
His yellow eyes narrowed.
"Unfortunately for you, your combat experience is severely... lacking. Tear yourself apart and allow me to deal with more pressing matters."
A warp gate opened up behind Thirteen and her back was torn apart by her own quirk. The pro hero gasped as the back of her costume was shredded and spaghettified, drawn through the warp gate and into Thirteen's opened glove.
As Thirteen fell unconscious, the opening that allowed her quirk to function closed, preventing further damage from being done, but the devastating self-inflicted blow had already been dealt.
Ochaco and Mina both screamed, the latter freezing up as Kurogiri turned to them.
"I apologise for the horrific sight you just bore witness to, children; however, none of you will live to see tomorrow. I cannot allow you to cultivate your quirks and threaten our plans for-"
The warping villain grunted as Mezo rugby tackled him by the metal bracer from his right side, bringing him down to the floor.
"Uraraka-san!" The multi-armed student yelled.
The brunette nodded and dashed over towards the duo, with Kurogiri seemingly struggling to free himself from Mezo's six-arm bear hug. She pressed her fingers against Kurogiri's bracer as Mezo released him, allowing the warping villain to begin floating into the air.
"Hmm, quite the unfortunate predicament I've found myself in."
Sticky tape, courtesy of Hanta, latched onto his bracer and pulled him down to the ground. Hanta grinned as he swung the trapped villain around who launched him into Rikido who let out a yell as he delivered a hefty punch into his bracer.
Kurogiri grunted as gravity suddenly weighed him down again, sending him tumbling shadowy head over heels towards the stairs.
Feigning defeat as he heard Tomura scream in agony, he lay still as some of students cautiously approached him, as the flat-faced student shot tape to hold him in place as he took note how the one with the big lips had managed to put a dent into his metal bracer
'Impressive strength, but he's no All Might. Could be future threat if such a quirk was utilized properly, but right now it's in the hands of an immature child. However, I can't play with them any longer. Shigaraki seems to be in trouble.'
Hanta smirked, "Heh, there's no way you'll be able to escape from my tape. You can struggle, but you definitely won't free yourself."
Mezo cocked his head, "Surely, Sero-san, if he can warp others, then he must be able to warp himself. I don't want to burst your bubble, but I think this guy is just putting on an act."
Kurogiri allowed the tape to fall into his body and then stood up, opening up another warp gate elsewhere to dispose of the sticky material.
"Your friend with the additional limbs is correct. Goodbye children, my associate is in need of aid." Kurogiri's form was drawn into itself and he vanished without a trace.
(U.A. High School - Principal's Office)
"This is unfortunate, we appear to have lost all contact with the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. It could the result of villains, but it could also be the result of equipment failure. I'd prefer not to rush to conclusions before we have all the facts." Nezu mused, pacing up and down behind his desk.
Stood by the table, Midnight frowned lightly, "What's the likelihood of simple equipment failure?"
"Minimal," Ectoplasm added, "the technology in the U.S.J is state-of-the-art, even 20 years ahead of anything any other school in Japan might have. We could be witnessing a deliberate attack; wait for a single teacher and their entire class to isolate themselves from the rest of the school and then strike when they're alone."
"But they've got Eraserhead. I feel sorry for the poor bastards who've tried their luck against him." Snipe said.
"Despite his impressive quirk and formidable physical prowess," Nezu said, "Eraserhead is still one man. And we all know that is dry eye is more likely to begin acting up during prolonged use. I have faith in his abilities, but everyone has their limits."
Snipe sighed, shoulders slumping in agreement.
Midnight cocked her head to one side and turned towards the opened door of the office, "Who could possibility be running through the hallway? All the students, especially the first and second years, should be in their classes right-"
She was cut off as Tenya burst into the room; forehead shiny with sweat as his panic filled eyes scanned the room until they fell upon Nezu who straightened up as the boy hurried over to him.
"Iida-san, what's the issue?"
"I'm here on behalf of Aizawa-sensei and Class President Yaoyorozu," Tenya announced, standing stiffly, "U.S.J has been attacked by an army of villains. I didn't get a good look, but I'd say there were about 80 of them. We need reinforcements!"
Nezu's eyes widened slightly.
He turned to his desk and pressed a small black button on it's left side; then spoke into it, "All teachers, we have an emergency situation at the U.S.J. I must ask that you suspend your classes as of this moment and met me at the security gate. We have a Level 4 Security Breach."
Itachi could do nothing but watch as Tomura reached for Tsuyu.
Unbeknownst to each other, he and Izuku had the same horrifying vision of the frog-like girl being disintegrated by the touch of the villain.
The Sharingan observed in agonizing slow-motion as the blue-haired man reached for the frog-like girl, his hand inching closer and closer towards her face, and her blank expression made to impossible to tell whether she was scared or not.
Izuku lunged, leaping out of the water like a rabid animal.
Tomura paused momentarily and grunted, looking up at the student bearing down on him like a ton of bricks.
"Don't you touch her," Izuku screamed, throwing a powerful haymaker, "SMAAAAAAASH!"
Tomura vanished behind an explosion of force which blew out the nearby lights, pushed Kurogiri back and knocked down several nearby villains, and sent gale-force winds rushing out in all directions.
Protecting his eyes from the severe winds, Itachi noticed that Izuku hadn't broken his arm, despite the full power attack.
"Midoriya-kun, did you manage to..."
He trailed off, noticing the monster which had previously been pinning their teacher down, was stood in-front of Izuku. It had taken the punch to the abdomen and now had the green-haired boy's arm in a vice grip.
"H-How did that thing not even move? Midoriya hit it at full force!" Minoru screamed.
'I've already lost Shisui, Ienma-kun and, even after my passing, Kisame,' Itachi thought as the Nomu reached for Izuku with its other hand, 'I won't start this life by losing anyone else!'
Itachi fished out some shuriken and flung them into Tomura's hand. The blue-haired villain hissed, rapidly backing away and muttering wishes of death and insults under his breath as blood dripped from his hand.
The Nomu released Izuku - who froze, processing how something had taken his punch with no damage - and rounded on Itachi, who widened his eyes as the monster roared at him, prompting a scream of horror from Minoru as he started to wildly throw the balls on his head
"Nice punch, brat," Tomura sneered, narrowly avoiding taking one of Minoru's balls to the face, "You called it a 'smash'. Are you part of All Might's fan club or something?"
The Nomu took a menacing step forwards, eyes shifting back and forth as it seemingly contemplated which one of the children it should kill first.
"Yaoyorozu-chan," Tsuyu croaked, shivering in fear.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die..." Minoru whimpered, just as Izuku had a lightbulb moment, the same time as the Nomu took yet another step.
"Wait, you said that Nomu was your key to killing All Might..." Izuku began, retreating to create distance between himself and the villains.
Tomura sneered as the Nomu suddenly paused and growled, "Yeah, what about it, brat?"
"Whenever I throw a punch like I did earlier, I end up breaking my arm-"
"Heh, noob."
"-but when I hit your Nomu, I didn't hurt myself and I noticed that I didn't leave any sort of mark," Izuku said, eyes narrow with laser-like focus, "and if your Nomu just had a healing factor, presumably to cope with the damage All Might could dish out through his punches, then I would've broken my arm. It has multiple quirks, right? My arm suffered no recoil damage from my quirk. That must mean that it can either absorb kinetic energy or negate it."
Itachi had no doubt that if Izuku had been born in the shinobi world, he would've been a Nara and one who wasn't lazy to boot. Still, did he have to do his super analysis stuff when the villains were barely a few feet away from them?
Tomura let out an infuriated groan.
"The child is smart. He deduced all that from a single attack." Kurogiri admitted quietly.
A one eyed glare was fixed upon Izuku, "Forget the brat with the maxed out reflex stat, the one with the maxed out intelligence stat dies first. Nomu, kill him!"
The Nomu lunged, only to be halted just short of the green-haired student by a purple mass underneath its right foot.
Looking closer, Itachi noted how one of Minoru's Pop Off had partially stuck the Nomu in place. The creature strained to pull itself away, deforming the purple ball and cracking the ground beneath its right foot as it tried to free itself.
"Tusyu-san, get us out of here!" Itachi commanded.
She didn't need to be told twice.
Wrapping her tongue around Izuku's waist, she pulled him away as Tomura lunged. She grabbed hold of Itachi and Minoru who took deep breaths just before they were plunged into the water and carried over to the Ruins Zone which looked like something straight out of a Godzilla-type disaster movie - destroyed pavement and precariously leaning buildings were everywhere.
Stood by the entrance was Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima.
As they emerged from the water and were deposited onto dry land, the former rolled his eyes whilst the latter greeted them with a wide grin.
"You look like shit, extras."
"Nice of you to be so concerned." Itachi returned.
Katsuki scoffed.
What he's trying to say," Eijiro interjected, "is that you guys don't look so good. And where's Aizawa-sensei?"
"That massive creature got him! It smashed his face into the ground several times and then we nearly died!" Minoru wailed, tears streaming down his face.
Katsuki looked over the massive body of water that they'd traversed and frowned, "Look at the size of that thing. What'd Aizawa expect, using his stupid quirk on a creature of that size? It's got strength in spades."
"Not only that, but it can absorb or negate kinetic energy." Izuku added.
"Piss off Deku, I'll blast that son of a bitch straight to hell."
"What he's trying to say," Eijiro interjected once more, "is that he'll help fight it if it comes over here, because that's what men do. And how come that thing isn't moving?"
"Mineta-kun manged to use his quirk to partially stop the Nomu from moving by sticking it's right foot to the ground. And despite its efforts to free itself, the balls that make up his quirk are quite flexible." Itachi explained.
"Stop scrambling my words, Shitty Hair. And like hell I need help to fight that thing. I'm gonna be Number One and that ugly bird-faced bastard is just gonna be a stepping stone." Katsuki snapped.
"Put your pride aside," Itachi said, glaring at the blond, "that thing is designed to kill All Might. You might have one of the most powerful quirks in Class 1-A, second only to Midoriya-kun and Todoroki-kun, but even you know that you couldn't fight that thing on your own."
"...Whatever."
"Oh, speak of the devil and he shall appear." Eijiro said, pointing over to his left as Shoto walked up to them, cool and collected as ever.
"What's going on?" He inquired.
"Ribbit. Monster's taken down Aizawa-sensei. Villains tried to kill us. Midoriya found out one of the quirks that the monster has. We saw an opening to escape and took it. We were just explaining the situation to Bakugo-chan and Kirishima-chan. Ribbit." Tsuyu summarized.
"..." Shoto nodded.
"By the way, where did you guys all come from?" Eijiro asked.
"I was dropped in the main courtyard with Aizawa-sensei." Itachi said.
"Whoa, you fought your way out of... what, like, 60 villains. That's proper manly! But did you guys really leave sensei alone?"
Itachi scowled lightly, "I'm not proud of leaving sensei alone, especially given the state he's in, but between the villains and the creature, there was practically no viable way of getting to him that didn't involve getting killed."
Eijiro offered an awkward grin and rubbed the back of his head.
"I was in the Flood Zone with Tsuyu-san and Mineta-kun." Izuku said.
"Landslide Zone. I was alone," Shoto stated, "but I happened to witness a massive electrical discharge, which I presume was Kaminari, in the Mountain Zone."
"Uh, guys," Eijiro started, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that thing is free."
They all turned to the courtyard where they watched as Kurogiri expanded his form and allowed to the Nomu to walk into him. The creature disappeared from view, setting off dozens of alarm bells in Itachi head, before the warping villain shrank down and seemingly collapsed into himself, disappearing from view entirely as Tomura began to gather villains who hadn't been beaten into oblivion by himself and Aizawa, seemingly gathering them for another assault.
"Oi, where the fuck did they go?" Katsuki questioned, small explosions erupting from his gloves as his single grenade gauntlet shone red briefly, indicating that its sweat storage was at maximum capacity.
Over by the entrance of the U.S.J, as Mina and Mezo hovered over the downed form of Thirteen, Hanta, Rikido and Ochaco were stood at the top of the stairs that led down to the rest of the building, looking down at the villains and the incapacitated Aizawa.
"Hey," Rikido murmured, fists clenched, "when do you think Iida will be back? He's been gone for a while now."
Ochaco and Hanta looked at each other, trying to put on their brave faces as Tomura walked around, gathering his subordinates.
"No idea, but we've got to do something about Aizawa-sensei. We can't leave him alone down there with all those villains. They might try and kill him." Hanta replied, cracking his knuckles and stretching out his neck.
Ochaco shivered, "What can we do? We can't just go charging in there. There's too many of them to handle and Sato-kun is the only one with a quirk suited for direct combat."
The three of them paused in thought, with Hanta letting out a sigh of frustration after a few seconds.
"Dammit, I've got nothing." He huffed.
"Me neither," Rikido added, frowning as a massive explosion rocked the building, followed almost immediately by a wall of ice sweeping across the body of water by the courtyard, and that was followed by distant, angry screaming, "Uraraka?"
The brunette swallowed down a lump in her throat, "I've got something. Okay, so, Sero-kun, you're going to attach two pieces of tape to me and Sato-kun is going to throw me over. I'll fall by Aizawa-sensei. controlling my descent with my quirk. Once I land by him, I'll attach the second piece of tape to sensei and then Sero-kun can pull us back."
Rikido appeared slightly uncertain, "Are you sure about this, Uraraka?"
The brunette nodded, determination etched onto her face as she turned towards the courtyard.
Hanta stepped up behind her with his elbows bent, slowly pulling out two lengths of tape; attaching one to her back and placing the other in her right hand. Rikido gulped down a mouthful of sugar, rapidly enhancing his strength as per his quirk, then picked Ochaco up and threw her towards Aizawa who lay face down on the floor.
She let out a yelp as she sailed through the air and pressed her fingers together as she began to descend from above her teacher.
Pressing her fingers together once more, she dropped out of the air and landed next to the downed pro hero, slapping one piece of tape onto his back and nearly gagging as the smell of blood invaded her nostrils, though the 'tap-tap' of her feet hitting the ground alerted several villains to her presence.
One man with chainsaw blades in place of his arms grinned and lunged at her.
Ochaco yelped, using her quirk on Aizawa and herself, before presenting Hanta with a thumbs up. The lines of tape went taut before they were suddenly pulled into the air and carried over towards Hanta, just as Dark Shadow appeared and bulldozed the man into the floor.
"Thanks." Ochaco called, gulping as her stomach began to do jumping-jacks as she repeatedly switched between falling and hovering, whilst she allowed Aizawa to fall into Rikido's arms, while Fumikage had circled around the villains who took pot-shots at him to join up with them.
"Oi, Tokoyami, you're here? Good to see you." Hanta exclaimed, grinning at the bird-headed student.
Ochaco was too busy vomiting to speak, while Rikido was holding onto their teacher in a bridal carry.
Fumikage nodded stoically, "Likewise, I have been engaging in a revelry of the darkness."
"..." Hanta sweatdropped.
Dark Shadow burst out of Fumikage's abdomen, "What he means to say is that we kicked so much ass!"
"Language, Dark Shadow... but that's more or less what's happened. Has Iida not come back yet?" The bird-headed student inquired.
Hanta shook his head.
Dark Shadow hovered over the limp, cradled Aizawa, his glowing eyes expressing some degree of remorse, "Oi, this guy really doesn't look so good."
And then the U.S.J doors exploded.
The gathered students tensed as the black mass of Kurogiri appeared in-front of them, growing in size. His glowing eyes had shrunk in a sneering-like manner as Katsuki pulled back on the handle of his grenade gauntlet. unveiling a small, white pin as he aimed at the rapidly expanding portal.
"Bakugo-kun, whatever you do, don't hesitate to fire." Itachi instructed.
The blond huffed, but didn't take his eyes off Kurogiri as the villain's form had grown to the size of the Nomu, "Fuck off, Trench Face, I don't need you yapping on in my ear. You're as bad as the stupid, fucking nerd."
"Kacchan..." Izuku protested, then froze as a low hiss entered his ears.
"Brace yourself, morons." Katsuki told them, pulling the pin on his gauntlet just as the Nomu came barrelling out of Kurogiri like the world's most heavily muscled freight train
The creature barely had time to fully exit the warping villain before it was hit by a massive explosion that shook the building. A massive tidal wave of ice - courtesy of one Shoto Todoroki, surged forward and consumed everything that'd been directly in-front of them, creating a sea of ice that stretched from Shoto's right foot, all the way to the courtyard where the villains were still gathered.
Katsuki rounded on Shoto and snarled, only to be met with a indifferent stare.
Itachi nearly rolled his eyes. Was the blond about to start complaining now of all times?
"Oh, that was indeed close." A voice said from behind them.
They all turned to find Kurogiri stood by Minoru who cried and glomped Tsuyu, seemingly non-threatening and incredibly laid back, but there was a multitude of cracks on one of the bracers around his neck.
Katsuki smirked.
Izuku blinked.
Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"Your metal plate is cracked," Izuku started, "that means, Kacchan's explosion heated it up, while Todoroki-kun's ice supercooled it before you could escape. Metal expands when heated and shrinks under the cold. So-"
Itachi smacked Izuku upside the head to bring him out of his own world.
"Yaoyorozu-kun?"
"We understand what you're getting at Midoriya-kun, but what is that bracer you wear around you neck? A limiter of some kind?" Itachi inquired.
Kurogiri's eyes became dangerously thin.
"That's none of your business," he hissed, then his eyes crinkled up into what was presumably a smile, "and you children, so easily distracted by new developments... you've forgotten to pay attention to the actual threat at hand."
The ice behind Katsuki shattered and the Nomu came rushing out, only to be met with another wall of ice that it simply barged through.
"Bakugo!" Eijiro pushed the blond to one side as the beast lunged at him, grabbing his legs in a vice-like grip as he willed Hardening to manifest all over his entire body.
The redhead cried out as he was slammed into the ground several times, smashed face-first into the cement like a doll that was being abused by an oversized toddler in the midst of having a tantrum.
"Kirishima-kun! Izuku cried, horrified by the brutal display before him, wincing as Eijiro was thrown into the floor and then stomped on several times
Kurogiri began to shrink into himself, "Whilst you children are slaughtered, I'm going to-"
He was interrupted as a livid Katsuki blasted himself into him and tackled him to the ground. Kurogiri grunted as his neck bracer gained a bigger crack, courtesy of Katsuki unleashing another explosion against its cool surface.
The blond leant down with a bloodthirsty grin and hissed into where the warping villain's ear would be.
"Move, and I'll blow you to fucking pieces."
Kurogiri stilled, heeding the threat.
Itachi took a few cautious steps back and turned to the other students, "Midoriya-kun, I wouldn't ask you this in any other circumstance, but-"
"You need One For... um, my strength, I'm all ears. What do you need to me do?" Izuku replied, determination written all over his face, but Itachi was briefly overcome with confusion when his Sharingan seemed to read ahead, like it always did when reading people, and he saw the green-haired boy mouth 'All'.
'What's One For All? Is that the name of Midoriya-kun's quirk?' Itachi thought, but knew at the moment that answers weren't important.
Glancing at the other three, he saw that Shoto and Tsuyu were ready to act, while Minoru - seemingly resigned with the fact that he was probably going to die in the next minute or two - looked like he wanted to go out with a bang.
Turning back to the Nomu, Itachi glanced at the exposed brain and narrowed his eyes.
'Kinetic absorption or negation, and a possible regeneration quirk,' Itachi thought, 'yet whoever made this thing never expect somebody to notice such a glaring flaw, even after the acknowledgement of such quirks. A sufficient blow to the head will stun anyone and as for the eyes... even the toughest villains will guard their eyes.'
"I don't think Kirishima can hold out much longer, if at all. I assume you have a plan?" Shoto inquired, bringing the raven-haired student out of his thoughts.
He glanced at the heterochromatic boy and nodded.
"Todoroki-kun, I'm going to need you to send more ice to that Nomu. You may catch Kirishima-kun, but I'm going to need you to immobilize it," Itachi started, his Sharingan darting back and forth between the assembled students, "Mineta-kun, use your Pop Off and lay a sticky minefield around the Nomu. If it manages to break free, I need you to make it difficult for the Nomu to move."
Minoru, despite the fact that he looked like he was about to piss himself, gulped and nodded.
Itachi then turned to Tsuyu who straightened under his gaze.
"How high can you throw people with your tongue?"
"Ribbit. I'm not launching people into the air with my tongue on a common basis to know that, but I think I can throw you pretty high." Tsuyu replied.
He pointed at Izuku, "You're throwing him. I need you to throw Midoriya-kun into a trajectory that'll allow him to fall directly onto the Nomu. And as for you, Midoriya-kun, you're going to quite literally punch the Nomu's brains out. You'll move when I give Todoroki-kun the signal."
"Punch it's brains out, but-" Izuku paused, as if suddenly catching onto Itachi's train of thought.
The green-haired boy nodded, steeling himself as he clenched his right hand.
This was a literal do or die situation. Failing to act would result in Eijiro's death, followed immediately by all of them being pulverized by the Nomu; the creature in the questioned stomped on Eijiro, who went limp as Hardening deactivated, for the fourteenth time and then turned to the other students, its hiss prompting Itachi to turn to Shoto and nod.
The temperature plummeted and frost began to accumulate on Shoto's body as he summoned a massive wave of ice, bigger than anything he'd summoned prior to then.
It surged forwards, swamping over the Nomu and encasing everything below it's neck in ice. With its arms trapped under the ice, the creature roared and flexed; oversized muscles bulging as the ice around it began to crack.
Minoru screamed, blood streaming from his scalp as he threw dozens upon dozens of his Pop Off onto the ice surrounding the Nomu.
After he stopped and let out some kind of battle cry, which was so high-pitched that the others mistook it for a squeal of terror, Itachi caught the shortest member of Class 1-A as he collapsed and sobbed.
"I-I gotta see Yaoyorozu's glorious momos in their full glory at least once..." He whined.
Itachi, who was tempted to drop the boy, wished he could still use the Tsukuyomi, even just to abuse the annoying midget for a single second.
Tsuyu extended her tongue so it could wrap around Izuku's waist multiple times. Then, she spun around several times, eventually lifting Izuku into the air like one might do with an object attached to the end of a rope, before flicking her tongue like a whip and launching Izuku into the air.
The green-haired boy let out a yelp of surprise as he flew into the air and approached the roof of the U.S.J, and then began to fall, directly towards the Nomu.
The Nomu growled and flexed once more, freeing its chest and left arm as a significant portion of the sea of ice shattered like glass.
Setting Minoru onto the floor, Itachi tossed his katana in-front of him and flipped, kicking the hilt with his foot. It flew through the air like the world's deadliest dart and slid into one of the Nomu's eyes, proving his hypothesis correct.
Kurogiri twitched as the beast flinched, already moving to pull the blade out of its face, and Katsuki set off another explosion against his bracer.
"What I'd fucking say? Don't move, asshole!" The blond snarled; then turned his attention to the others, scowling as he watched the 'Stupid Nerd' fall out of the air.
Izuku drew the full power of One For All into his right arm and drew it back as he neared the Nomu who struggled and flexed even more, freeing its other arm.
Across the frozen water, Tomura watched with one astonished eye as Izuku fell towards his prized weapon, remembering what his master had told him, "No fucking-"
"DETRIOT," Izuku thrust his arm forwards and buried his fist into the Nomu's brain with a sickening squelch, scrunching up his face with disgust as brain matter went everywhere, one piece smacking him in the face, and the uninjured eye popped clean out of its socket, whilst the sea of ice around them disintegrated under the rush of force, "SSMAAASSH!"
The Nomu collapsed and flopped forwards, its humungous form crashing against the floor.
Izuku let out a cry of pain, his arm clearly broken, as Tsuyu's tongue wrapped around his waist and gently lowered him to the ground.
Nothing but silence reigned supreme throughout the U.S..J, until Tomura's furious screams of blind rage pierced through it.
"How... HOW DID YOU- WHAT THE FUCK!? MY NOMU... YOU KILLED MY FUCKING NOMU! THAT WAS MY ALL MIGHT KILLING WEAPON! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, BRATS!" The villain screamed, incoherent with rage as his followers watched in shock.
"No way-"
"How did that brat-"
"His strength. He's All Might levels of powerful."
"It's just a kid. How tough can he be?"
Katsuki yelped as Kurogiri suddenly surged forwards and engulfed him, swallowing an explosion into his body. The purple mass vanished a few seconds later, leaving the blond in the exact same spot, reappearing next to the Nomu and swallowing the body whole, before disappearing once more and reappearing by Tomura.
Kurogiri deposited the motionless creature next to Tomura who was still throwing a fit.
"That little shit... I'll kill him... yes, slowly. And that fucker with the strange eyes too."
"Sir, please, calm yourself."
"Calm myself," Tomura raged, glaring at the warping villain with his one good eye, "you have ten seconds to tell me why I should calm the fuck down!"
Kurogiri simply pointed at the Nomu.
Tomura blinked at the Nomu's brain began to regrow itself, like an unused balloon being inflated; one of its fingers twitching as it did so.
"Oh... oh..."
"Did you really think Master would send you to kill All Might unprepared?" Kurogiri inquired, sounding suspiciously smug.
"I-I shouldn't have doubted sensei..." The blue-haired villain mumbled.
A rumble echoed like thunder through the buildings as the main doors were suddenly destroyed.
The students felt a sense of relief, while the villains felt a sense of uncertainly and dread, as the massively imposing figure of none other than All Might stepped forth with an expression of unbridled rage etched onto his face, "Have no fear... for I have arrived!"
Tomura just smiled as he placed his father's damaged hand against his face, "Heh, looks like we got a continue now that the final boss is here."
A/N: And that's Chapter 13 for you guys. Next chapter should wrap up the U.S.J Arc.
