( City Z - Bang's Dojo )
"...126, 127, 128" counted a sweaty Mumen Rider, performing push ups in the middle of Bang's dojo while shirtless. Since he isn't wearing his Hero costume, it's revealed that he has short brown hair and wears oval-shaped glasses that obscures his eyes.
"I must admit, it's good to see a fresh new face training in my dojo" chuckled Bang while he takes a sip of his tea. The martial arts master is sitting on his knees while watching the newest student of Deku perform his daily exercises. "If you want, I could always-"
"Not a chance. You've got your own students so don't you try stealing one of mine" interrupted Izuku Midoriya who is sitting on the floor beside Bang with his legs folded. Genos is sitting on the other side of Izuku while leaning back and watching his fellow student, Mumen Rider, perform his push ups.
"Perhaps a trade?"
Izuku deadpans at Bang and casts a glance at Bang's longest remaining student, Charanko. Charanko is a young man in his early twenties who has messy light-coloured hair and wears a white karate gi. Said student is currently sitting on his knees a distance away, dozing off and trying to make it look like he isn't. "I don't think so."
Bang grumbles, but accepts it. Ever since the incident, Bang had lost most of his students with only Charanko deciding to stay. Thankfully, teaching martial arts to the students in Hero Academy has led to several joining his dojo for further training, although at the moment, most are currently working on their homework assignments, hence why they aren't training in the dojo right now. Probably for the better anyway, since he doubts that the students would get much training done while Deku and Genos are present.
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you something, Midoriya" said Bang, placing his cup of tea on the floor. "Word around the grapevine says that you recently asked Child Emperor to build you something quite big and expensive."
Izuku shakes his head and points at his newest student who's nearing his push up quota, although he appears to be struggling. "Not for me. For my newest student over there."
Bang nods his head in understanding. "Ah, I see. You appear to be putting in a lot of effort on training Mumen Rider. I'm curious, what is it about that man that has caught your interest?" he asked, although he has an idea.
Gently, Izuku smiles over at Mumen Rider and for a moment, he instead sees himself from ten years ago struggling to do the push ups. "I see a Hero who can look into the face of evil itself and not flinch. Powerful or not, Mumen Rider will stand up to any threat so he can protect the lives of the innocent, even at the risk of his own life. He has the heart and soul of a true Hero and I plan to nurture that."
Bang smiles as well, having thought that to be the reason. Genos is much the same, but the cyborg has the strength and firepower to match his Heroic status. Mumen Rider is just a C-Class Hero who's more known for helping civilians with simple tasks that other Heroes would often ignore, like saving cats from trees. However, those simple, but kind acts has kept Mumen Rider as the top ranked Class C Hero for nearly eight months now, which is actually pretty impressive.
"I'll admit, there's another reason I decided to take him on as my student" said Izuku, being honest with Bang.
"Oh? Do tell" asked Bang, more than a little curious. He didn't think there was another reason for Midoriya taking on Mumen Rider as his disciple. Genos who has mostly been watching Mumen Rider perform his exercises perks up, looking just as curious as Bang.
"I believe Mumen Rider possesses Indomitable Will."
Bang's eyes widen in surprise and for good reason. "Are you certain?"
Izuku nods while watching Mumen Rider fight through the pain from his push ups. "You should've saw his fight with the Deep Sea King. True, the monster was only playing with him, but even a lazy blow from the King of the Seafolk would have knocked out or killed most C-Class and even some B-Class Heroes. Yet, Mumen Rider just kept getting back up."
Bang turns to Mumen Rider and this time, focuses his complete attention on the C-Class Hero. Just watching him perform push ups has Bang realize that Izuku is telling the truth. Mumen Rider is sweating very heavily and is obviously in a lot of pain, but he is still continuing his push ups, refusing to give up. If that's not a sign of him having Indomitable Will, then nothing will. It also explains why Midoriya has been training Mumen Rider so hard for the past two weeks. "My word, you're right!"
"Sensei, what is this Indomitable Will you speak of?" asked Genos, having been listening in on the discussion between the two S-Class Heroes, but not understanding the importance of this Indomitable Will that Mumen Rider supposedly possesses.
"Indomitable Will is a unique ability that only a few in the world possess. It's when someone has an unnaturally strong willpower that enables them to endure great physical pain and psychological trauma, allowing them to fight for longer then they should be capable of. For some, it even allows them to remove their limiter, making them even stronger than before. However, the limit to how much a person can take depends on the strength of the user. The stronger the user, the stronger they become through their Indomitable Will and the longer they can fight" explained Izuku to his first student.
"Indomitable Will can be a truly terrifying ability when in the right hands. Metal Bat is another user of Indomitable Will and I can say from experience that he is a very dangerous individual because of it" stated Bang, remembering the time he had sparred with Metal Bat just a year ago. In their spar, Bang never once got hit by Metal Bat who he had pummeled to the ground several times. However, every time he did, Metal Bat always got back up to his feet to continue the spar, no matter how bloody and bruised his body got. In the end, Bang's decades of fighting experience and martial arts mastery led to him defeating Metal Bat.
Genos looks dumbfounded by what he was just told and then turns to Mumen Rider, amazed that the C-Class Hero possesses such a unique ability. He's also surprised to hear that the S-Class Rank 15 Hero, Metal Bat, has the same ability as well and by Silver Fang's words, it makes him very dangerous.
"I meant to ask this earlier, but have you told Tatsumaki about this new student of yours?" asked Bang and by the nervous expression on Midoriya's face, it's obvious that he hadn't.
"Tatsu was called upon by the Hero Association to deal with a Mysterious Being who is rumored to be a Dragon-level threat. From what I've been told, the Mysterious Being has been slumbering in ice for millions of years and recent scans have shown signs of it waking up soon. The Association decided to keep Tatsu on standby, just in case the Mysterious Being becomes violent once it awakens. Hence, why she hasn't been around for nearly a month" explained Izuku who isn't looking forward to when Tatsumaki returns. It's not that he doesn't enjoy her company, but she has always thought highly of him like she does herself. In her mind, she has them both standing on pedestals that look down on the other Heroes, Class S Heroes included. When she found out that Genos became his student, she wasn't happy and still isn't, even though Genos is now a S-Class Hero. S-Class or not, Tatsumaki doesn't believe Genos is worthy to be trained by Izuku, although he suspects that nobody will ever be worthy in her eyes.
However, he can't imagine how she'll react when she finds out he took on Mumen Rider as a student. Like most S-Class Heroes, she's very proud of her rank and she often looks down on Heroes below her, including fellow S-Class Heroes. Izuku has tried many times to dull that powerful pride of hers, but that's a fight not even he can win. When she does return, he will need to keep Mumen Rider close, just in case. He doesn't think she'd actually kill the C-Class Hero, but he wouldn't put it past her to try and hurt him.
"...198, 199, 200!" grunted Mumen Rider, completing his two hundred push ups before collapsing onto the floor, finding the cold wooden floor to be comfortable against his sweaty chest.
Not once in his life did Mumen Rider think he would be given the honour to train under a high-ranking Hero, let alone the S-Class Rank 1 Hero. After all, he is only Class C, but it isn't like he's complainng. In these past two weeks, Mumen Rider has learned more about heroics and fighting then he did in all his life. All the fighting knowledge he knew before all came from watching videos online and martial arts movies, but training under Deku has shown him what true fighting really is like. The first week of training made the entirety of Mumen Rider's body ache in pain. Now they're on the second week of training and his bones are crying out to him.
"Good man. Now that your muscles are all warmed up, we can start your martial arts training" said Izuku, pushing himself up to his feet.
"My muscles aren't warmed up. They're on fire!" thought the sweaty Mumen Rider who somehow manages to push himself up to his feet. While grateful for the training, Mumen Rider doesn't much like martial arts training, because it usually starts off with him sparring against Deku, which obviously leads to him getting his ass beaten before Deku explains what he did wrong.
"Perhaps Mumen Rider would learn more by watching a spar as a spectator. What do you say, Midoriya? Willing to spar with this old man?" recommended Bang who pushes himself to his feet before he walks over to Izuku with a slight hunch in his back.
By Bang's appearance alone, most people would be horrified over the prospect of someone starting a fight with the elderly man. Being over eighty years old, Bang has spikey white hair, thick white eyebrows and a thick moustache. For clothing, Bang adorns a long-sleeved black martial arts jumpsuit, light-coloured pants and Tai Chi slippers. By the looks of him, Bang should be in a nursing home, not leading a dojo.
However, Izuku knows more than anyone that appearances can be deceiving. True, Bang is an elderly old man, but he is also known as the Greatest Treasure of Martial Arts. Izuku considers himself to be a master of his own fighting style, the Deku Style, but in comparison to Bang's own mastery of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist Style, Izuku is nothing but an amateur. Ten years of creating a fighting style of his own means nothing to Bang's lifetime of martial arts training. If not for Izuku having mastered One For All, he honestly wouldn't stand a chance against Bang in a close combat fight.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Mumen Rider, I want you to pay close attention. You as well, Genos" told Izuku who begins to stretch his arms and legs. He isn't gonna fight Silver Fang without loosening up his muscles as that could nearly prove fatal.
Bang follows Izuku's example and begins stretching, although he winces when he stretches his left shoulder. "Shoulder feels stiff. Guess I'm getting rusty" thought Bang, but ignores it for now. "You ready?" he asked, going into his Water Stream Rock Smashing Style stance. As Bang moves his hands into position, a dangerous blue aura shrouds them.
Izuku answers by activating Full Cowl at forty percent power as emerald lightning arcs across his muscular body while an ethereal shroud of green energy covers him from head to toe. Izuku's messy hair slightly spikes up as emerald lightning bounces off each strand and his green eyes glow with power. "Ready as I'll ever be" he answered, bringing his right foot behind him and keeping his clenched left fist in front of him while his right fist hangs by his hip, ready to be used for a punch whenever possible.
Mumen Rider nervously gulps as he watches Deku and Silver Fang square up against each other. "The tension is getting so thick that it's starting to get hard to breathe in here" he thought, but the C-Class Hero refuses to take his eyes off the two S-Class Heroes, even when he hears the obvious sound of Charanko collapsing to the floor in unconsciousness. Obviously, the intense energy between Deku and Silver Fang was too much for Charanko to handle.
Beside Mumen Rider, Genos watches with his arms folded and a serious expression on his face, although even he is starting to feel weary. "Even though I'm not the one fighting, I can feel the tension in the air. It's nearly suffocating. So, this is what it's like for two top S-Class Heroes to spar against each other?" thought Genos who makes sure to record every little detail. "The winner will be determined by the first move!"
For nearly a minute, neither Deku or Silver Fang make any moves against one another, studying the other for the slightest twitch. Then all of a sudden, both Deku and Silver Fang move at the exact same time, surprising the viewers by their sudden movement and matching speed. Both S-Class Heroes throw an attack at the other in blinding speeds and Genos widens his eyes when he realizes that their attacks are moving so fast that he can barely follow them.
"Mr. Silver Fang!"
Silver Fang's fist stops just before it can hit his opponent's face while Deku stops his roundhouse kick just before it can connect to Bang's temple. The sudden stop of both attacks causes a burst of wind to blow across the dojo, causing Mumen Rider to struggle to remain standing while Genos stands unaffected by the winds.
Pulling back their respective limbs, both Izuku and Bang turn towards the entrance of the dojo where there is a very sweaty man in a black suit, looking like he's about to pass out at any second. Obviously, the man had been in a rush to run up the mountain to reach Bang's dojo which sits at the very top.
"I was sent by the Association" panted the man. "An emergency summons has been issued to all Class S Heroes. Please come to Association Headquarters now!" The Hero Association employee only then notices that Silver Fang isn't the only S-Class Hero in the dojo. "You're out here as well, Mr. Genos and is that Mr. Deku too? What perfect timing!"
"Has a threat reached to level Dragon?" asked Genos, seriously.
"At the moment, only the higher ups of the Association know the reason for the summons" answered the man. "Please come along now. We must hurry!"
"Here we go" sighed Bang who walks towards the door.
Izuku frowns in worry. "A summons for all S-Class Heroes? Did the Association discover a threat so great that they needed all of Class S to come?" he wondered, hoping that to not be the case, but then again, he can't think of any other reason as to why they would request a summons for the strongest Heroes in the world.
Either there's an extremely powerful Dragon level threat which requires the combined might of S-Class to deal with it or there's something even worse than a Dragon-level threat.
God-level.
For once in his life, Izuku wishes that the threat is Dragon level.
( City A - Hero Association Headquarters )
After a long drive from City Z to City A, the Heroes enter the Hero Association Headquarters and the Association employee who brought them informs them that most of the Class S Heroes have already arrived.
Mumen Rider gulps as he walks alongside Genos, Silver Fang and Deku down a hallway towards the meeting room. Obviously, the Class C Hero didn't need to be here, seeing as the meeting is only for Class S Heroes, but Deku was insistent that he come with them to the meeting as a learning experience. The group of four stop before a large metal door which slides open to reveal another hallway while also showing another S-Class Hero who had just arrived before them.
"Ah, hey there, Silver Fang" greeted the S-Class Rank 4 Hero, Atomic Samurai.
Atomic Samurai is a middle-aged man with long black hair tied in a ponytail, dark eyes, small goatee and a defined jawline. His attire consists of a hooded red cloak with an atom symbol on the back draped over his open black haori. Beneath his haori is a traditional loose-fitting white robe tied with a white sash and two haori. Strapped to his left side are Atomic Samurai's katana and wakizashi while in his mouth is a blade of grass.
"Atomic Samurai, it's been too long" Silver Fang greeted back with a smile.
"I figured you'd be here today" said Atomic Samurai before looking up at the towering mass of muscle that is Deku. "And I didn't doubt for a second you'd miss this exciting little meeting, Deku."
"Hero Association calls a summons for all Class S Heroes? How could I possibly resist?" chuckled Deku, making Atomic Samurai laugh in response.
"Very true" chuckled Atomic Samurai who then turns to Genos who has been quietly studying him. "And this must be the cyborg, Genos" he said, looking the newest member of Class S up and down, inwardly nodding in approval. He then turns to the other Hero among the group. "And... wait a minute, who are you? You look familiar" he said, looking over Mumen Rider.
"This is my newest student, Mumen Rider" answered Deku while patting a hand on Mumen Rider's shoulder, making sure to hold back his strength so to not injure him. Mumen Rider winces, showing that Izuku still needs to hold back more of his strength.
"Ah, so this is the guy who has been causing such a ruckus, huh?" remarked Atomic Samurai, having heard about the C-Class Hero who was handpicked by Deku himself to become his disciple. "Gotta admit, I'm not seeing what all the fuss is about" he admitted, looking Mumen Rider up and down.
"Don't you worry about that. Soon enough, Mumen Rider here will be up to challenging your own students" smiled Deku and while his smile comes off as playful, a competitive spark erupts between him and Atomic Samurai.
"Is that right? Well then, I'll be looking forward to the day that happens" answered Atomic Samurai, glaring up at Deku who stares back with a smile.
At the same time, Mumen Rider is heavily sweating from being in such close proximity of a glaring contest between two S-Class Heroes who are known for defeating Dragon-level monsters by themselves.
"What's this I hear about Deku taking on some Class C nobody as a student!" yelled a femine voice from down the hallway.
"I see Tatsumaki has returned. I should probably head for the meeting room. Don't want to keep everyone waiting." Acting as if he isn't fleeing from the irate Esper and leaving Deku to his faith, Bang walks down the hallway while dragging a reluctant Genos with him.
Atomic Samurai follows after them while waving at Deku with a grin on his face. "It was nice knowing ya" he exclaimed, just as a green blur flies overhead and heads towards Deku.
Instinctively, Deku jumps in front of Mumen Rider who becomes paralyzed over the sight of an angry Tornado of Terror charging at him with violent intent. However, Deku acts as a wall of solid muscle to protect him and thankfully, it does manage to stop the world's most powerful Esper.
Tatsumaki stops just in front of Deku and glares at him, floating at eye level so she can look at him from equal height and not have to do it while looking up. "Move it or lose it!" she commanded, covered in a green glow, due to her psychic powers.
"Hey, Tatsu! I take it that the assignment went well?" asked Izuku, acting coy, although he is also covered in a green glow which is a result of him activating Full Cowl, just in case.
"Don't you try to change the subject! I leave for a few weeks and you take in some weak stray off the side of the road? What are you even thinking!?" exclaimed Tatsumaki, throwing her arms over her head to emphasize how much she disagrees with his decision.
"Don't be like that, Tatsu. Mumen Rider has potential to be great. Here, let me introduce you to him" said Deku, grabbing Mumen Rider from behind him and shoving him in Tatsumaki's face. "Tatsu, meet Mumen Rider. Mumen Rider, this lovely lady is Tatsu" introduced Deku with cheer, pretending that Tatsumaki isn't on the verge of tearing apart the Hero Association Headquarters in her rage.
While being held up in the air by Deku's powerful hands is a bit uncomfortable, that's nothing compared to having the World's Strongest Woman glaring down at him like as if he's a bug that she found in her food. Honestly, if not for Deku being here, he might actually think that she might try to hurt him.
"Call me Tatsu and you die."
Yup, she definitely does not like him.
"Now that everyone's best friends, we should head to the meeting. Everyone must be waiting for us" said Deku, suddenly placing Mumen Rider on the floor before he guides him around Tatsumaki.
"Hey, don't you think you can get away that easily! And why is the Class C weakling coming to the meeting anyway!? Don't you ignore me!"
Chuckling awkwardly, Deku leads Mumen Rider to a door which slides open, revealing the meeting room which consists of a large holographic table that acts as the only source of light to the dark room. Situated around the holographic table are seventeen chairs, although fourteen are currently occupied.
"Ah, so he lives to fight another day. A shame" smirked Atomic Samurai, chuckling as Izuku points a warning finger at him.
"Oh? Did you come back from fighting a powerful monster, Number One?" asked Superalloy Darkshine who has his powerful arms folded across his muscular chest.
"I guess you could say that" deadpanned Bang, chuckling in amusement as Tatsumaki flies into the room with a grumpy expression on her face. The Esper flies over and takes a seat on her chair beside Bang.
Mumen Rider who has been sticking to Deku's side is quick to notice a good few of the S-Class Heroes suddenly sitting up straight once in the presence of the World's Strongest Man. "The Class S Heroes really do respect Deku."
Looking around the room, Izuku sees that practically every S-Class Hero has arrived, all except for Metal Knight which isn't much of a surprise to Deku. Metal Knight tends to keep to himself and a summons from the Hero Association wouldn't change that. At best, he would send one of his robots to attend the meeting while he watches through its camera. At worst, he doesn't show up at all and Izuku guesses that to be the most likely.
Other than the missing Metal Knight, every other S-Class Hero are sitting in seats which are assigned to them by rank. Thus, Genos is sitting in between Puri Puri Prisoner and Metal Bat while Bang is inbetween Atomic Samurai and Tatsumaki.
While everyone else's chairs are on either sides of the length of the table, Izuku's chair is the only one situated at one of the short ends of the table, situated in between Puri Puri Prisoner and Tatsumaki. Izuku walks over to the edge of the table and drags Metal Knight's empty chair with him when he passes by it. Once at his own chair, he places Metal Knight's chair beside his own and signals Mumena Rider to sit on it while he sits on his own. Many curious eyes look over at Mumen Rider, but no one says anything about the C-Class Hero being at attendance to a S-Class meeting, although Tatsumaki who has her arms folded turns away from him in a huff.
Mumen Rider takes the seat beside Izuku, which has him nearly rubbing shoulders with Puri Puri Prisoner who winks at him. It's a good thing he did sit down, because Mumen Rider fears that he might start to hyperventilate if he doesn't calm down. "I'm in a room with nearly every S-Class Hero in the Hero Association. The strongest individuals in the entire world!" he thought in both fear and excitement as he looks over each Hero, starting with the lowest ranked.
S-Class Rank 17: Puri Puri Prisoner. Puri Puri Prisoner is resting his chin on the back of his hands while glancing over at Genos who's sitting on the other side of him. "Maybe this will be my chance to get closer to Genos."
S-Class Rank 16: Genos. Genos is calmly studying the faces of every Class S Hero in the room, similar to what Mumen Rider is doing. "It must be serious. Almost all of Class S is here."
S-Class Rank 15: Metal Bat. "Demon or Dragon, whatever. Bring it on" said a confident Metal Bat who has his legs kicked up on the table. Metal Bat is a young man with black hair that's styled in a pompadour and has dark eyes that show off his hot temper. He adorns black bontan pants and a black school uniform which he usually drapes over his red long-sleeved turtleneck sweater, but at the moment, he has it hanging on the back of his chair. In his left hand is his iconic indestructible metal bat in which he gets his Hero name from.
S-Class Rank 14: Tanktop Master. The leader of the Tank Topper Army glances over at Deku. "I need to remember to thank Deku for putting Tiger's head on straight." Tanktop Master is a tall and very muscular man with short dark-blonde hair and brown eyes. He wears a black tank top, long pants and a belt around his waist with his initials and a tank top engraved on the buckle.
S-Class Rank 13: Flashy Flash. Flashy Flash stares ahead and quietly waits for the meeting to start. Flashy Flash is a lean, but muscular young man who has an androgynous appearance. He has sharp blue eyes and long ice-blonde hair with bangs brushed to the right side of his face. He is wearing a dark blue bodysuit with metallic bracers over his arms and upper chest armour with a long white cape over it. He adorns himself with two eight-pointed stars on either side of his head and on his cape. He also has a chain strapped around his waist which holds his sheathed sword in place.
S-Class Rank 12: Watchdog Man. With a blank expression on his face, Watchdog Man sniffs the air. "Pretty sure someone farted."
S-Class Rank 11: Superalloy Darkshine. On the other side of Watchdog Man is Superalloy Darkshine who is a very tall and extremely muscular man. His skin has a dark complexion and gives off a lustrous shine. He's bald and has full lips, dark eyes and thick eyebrows. He also happens to be the most nude of everyone as his attire is only a black speedo. "They're all checking out my guns. Boom! Hell yeah!" he thought, believing that everyone is checking out his large muscles.
S-Class Rank 10: Pig God. Pig God is a large obese man with short black hair and big lips. He is wearing a long-sleeved green shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. As everyone else quietly waits for the meeting to start, Pig God is loudly eating the burgers he brought with him in a large bag.
S-Class Rank 9: Drive Knight. Drive Knight is a cyborg who has long black hair and wears a white mask which has a long horizontal slit so his single red shining eye can see out of it. The mask also has three vertical slits for where his mouth should be. Drive Knight's attire consists of a simplistic looking suit of armour that is similar to a medieval Knight's armour. The cyborg's red eye looks left and right to gauge the faces of everyone else.
S-Class Rank 8: Zombieman. Zombieman has scruffy short black hair, red eyes and pale skin. He wears a worn out grey trenchcoat and over a black singlet, tan stitched pants and a thick brown belt. He has belts wrapped around himself under his coat and wears tanker boots. "No one looks particularly enthusiastic. And does that pig ever stop eating?" he thought, glaring at Pig God in annoyance, because of his loud chewing.
S-Class Rank 7: King. King has a serious expression on his face and has his arms folded. Mumen Rider can hear what sounds like a heartbeat coming from the man who's said to be a rival to Deku himself. Mumen Rider recalls that the noise comes from the King Engine and that people can only hear it if he's ready for battle or is generally serious.
S-Class Rank 6: Metal Knight. Metal Knight is the only S-Class Hero who hasn't shown up to the meeting yet, but Mumen Rider has heard that the man is a brilliant scientist who makes all sorts of deadly robots and powerful explosives which he uses to completely eradicate Mysterious Beings.
S-Class Rank 5: Child Emperor. Child Emperor definitely stands out amongst all the other Class S Heroes, particularly because he is the youngest Hero at only ten years old. Child Emperor is a pre-adolescent boy who has short brown hair that has a cowlick and large amber eyes. He is wearing a light blue polo shirt with dark cobalt shorts and orange sneakers with white rims. Additionally, he wears a black backpack that holds all of his gadgets. At the moment, he is licking on a pink lollipop. "I should probably talk to Rank One about the thing he asked me to make for him."
S-Class Rank 4: Atomic Samurai. "I still don't get it. What so special about that Class C Hero that intrigues Deku so much?" he thought, discretely looking at Mumen Rider who doesn't notice.
S-Class Rank 3: Silver Fang. "So, why have we all been gathered here?" asked Bang, deciding to be the one to ask, since nobody seems willing to do so.
S-Class Rank 2: Tornado of Terror. "Who really cares anyway? I had to drop everything I was doing and was then kept waiting for over two hours" said Tatsumaki, both annoyed at that and with her conversation with Deku earlier.
S-Class Rank 1: Deku. "The Association wouldn't just call all of us here for no reason. Something big must be happening if they need all of us" stated Deku, getting nods of understanding from some of the Heroes.
Luckily, the doors to the meeting room open and the Minister Officer of Justice, Sitch, enters with Bespectacled Worker to his right and Bearded Worker to his left. "My apologies, I was delayed" apologized Sitch who stands on the other short end of the holographic table, opposite to Deku who sits on the other side. "We do not know the whereabouts of Metal Knight, nor can we reach him at this time. No sense in waiting any longer, so let's begin this emergency meeting" said Sitch, making sure he has the full attention of every Hero in the room.
"As for introductions, you can call me Sitch. I represent the Association and will be briefing you so lets get down to brass tacks, shall we? You Heroes are here because you're the best of the best, the top of the class. And now..." Sitch slams his palms on the holographic table for dramatic effect. "We are asking you to rise to the occasion and save the earth!"
Sitch's statement has Deku look at the Minister Officer of Justice with a serious expression, no longer smiling. "It's as I feared. A God-level threat."
"However, I must warm you that even with your Class S skill, there is no guarantee of survival. Walking away also takes courage. Any choosing to do so now will still retain Class S status" told Sitch, having the eye of every Class S Hero on him. "Those among you who stay and hear me out will not be allowed to walk away from this briefing. You will be confined here until we are certain the incident is over in order to avoid a general panic." Sitch pauses for a moment to wait and see if any of the Heroes will get up to leave. Seeing as none of the Heroes move to leave, he continues. "Alright then, are all of you willing to hear this?"
"Look buddy, whatever is going on around here, it better be worth calling all of us" said Metal Bat in annoyance. "I skipped out on my little sister's piano recital for this, she'll be crushed. If it's a total load of crap..." Metal Bat glares up at Sitch with a look of fury. "...then I'm gonna tear this whole building apart."
"That's violently... sweet?" thought Mumen Rider who keeps his thoughts to himself.
It's threats like that which always has Izuku see a resemblance between Metal Bat and his former friend, Katsuki Bakugo. Both are hot-headed, foul-mouthed and have a mentality of attacking first and asking questions later. However, Izuku knows that Metal Bat has his priorities straightened, unlike Bakugo. For starters, Metal Bat doesn't lord his strength over civilians and lower ranked Heroes, unlike Bakugo who constantly talks down and insults others, just because he has a strong Quirk. Another is that Metal Bat is one of the few Heroes who doesn't care about rising in the rankings, a contrast to Bakugo who's main goal is in becoming the Number One Hero so he can prove to everyone that he's the strongest.
However, the biggest difference Izuku can tell between the two is that unlike Bakugo, Metal Bat doesn't let his temper control his actions. In fact, he has managed to hone his anger to use it as a weapon by fueling the power of his Fighting Spirit, making him faster and stronger the more angry he gets. Honestly, it's both impressive and terrifying how powerful Metal Bat is and he's only seventeen years old.
Of course, the other hot-headed individual in the room had to open her mouth to agitate Metal Bat.
"Hmph, like you could do that with that skinny stick anyway" scoffed Tatsumaki with her arms folded and her eyes closed, talking down to Metal Bat like as if he's a child.
"Tatsu..." groaned Deku, palming his face over her immature actions. First the incident in the hallway and now this!
"Yeah? How about I bust your head open instead!?" shouted Metal Bat who's willing to follow up with his threat.
Of course, Tatsumaki doesn't much like being threatened. "If you think you can, go on and try, pillbug head!" she shouted back, slamming her fists on the holographic table while glaring at Metal Bat.
As Metal Bat and Tatsumaki exchange threats, Flashy Flash sighs in annoyance. "Just hurry up and get on with it. Otherwise, Mr. Pompadour here is going to die" he said, knowing that a fight between Metal Bat and Tornado of Terror would end in the young man's defeat.
"Hey, bobby pin, you siding with the girls? What's your problem?" growled Metal Bat, more than ready to start threatening Flashy Flash as well.
Deku is starting to wonder if Metal Bat has a death wish.
Realizing that he needs to regain control of the meeting before more Heroes begin arguing with one another, Sitch decides to just be blunt. "The great seer known as Madame Shibabawa, is dead!"
Sitch's statement quickly silences the room as everyone looks at the Minister Officer of Justice with mixed reactions of shock and disbelief. Izuku is the most shocked, having worked with the old woman many times in the past. Every prediction she made on future tragedies and Mysterious Being attacks were always 100% accurate. Using her predictions, Izuku and other Heroes would always show up before the terrible tragedies could occur and save the lives of everyone who would have died by the future tragedy. If not for Shibabawa's ability to look into the future, millions of civilians would be dead. Sadly, she couldn't predict every future tragedy and attack, which Izuku has long since accepted, but now that she's dead, they now have no way to predict future events.
"While terrible news, that can't be the only reason why they called for all Class S Heroes" thought Izuku, knowing that there must be something else.
Bespectacled Worker explains that Madame Shibabawa had choked on a cough drop after suffering from a coughing fit while looking into the future for the next six months. Superalloy Darkshine then asks if the focus of the meeting is to think of a new way to predict future events before they happen, but Sitch denied it.
"The crux of the problem is this" said Sitch who reaches into his suit and pulls out a piece of paper. "I hold in my hand her last and perhaps, greatest prophecy. As she took her last breath, choking on that cough drop, she managed to leave this note" he explained before he places the note face down so the holographic table can scan it. Once the table scanned the note, a holographic image of the piece of paper appears over the table so everyone can read what's written on it.
"The earth is in trouble?" chorused several of the Heroes, some in silence and others in surprise. However, that surprise turns to awkward silence once the contents of Madame Shibabawa's prediction was read out loud.
"Are you kididng? That is so dumb. Can I go now? I have cram school" asked Child Emperor who now feels like the meeting is just a waste of his time.
With a wave of his hand, Sitch makes the hologram of the note disappear. "I know that you're a prodigy, Child Emperor, but if you cannot grasp the catastrophic danger I have presented before you today, it only shows how immature you are" told Sitch.
"What'd you say!?" shouted a glaring Child Emperor who looks ready to fight with the Minister Officer of Justice. Child Emperor may only be ten years old, but none of the other Class S Heroes would dare say that he isn't powerful. Izuku can attest to Child Emperor's strength, having been the one to judge the spar between Child Emperor and Atomic Samurai's top disciples, Iaian, Okamaitachi and Bushidrill. All three disciples of Atomic Samurai possess strength and skill that are relevant to S-Class Heroes and yet, Child Emperor defeated all three of them at the same time and did so quite easily.
"Now calm down, everyone, listen up" said Sitch, raising a hand to calm down Child Emperor. "Madame Shibabawa's predictions are 100% accurate. She has miraculously foretold numerous tragedies and disasters in the past. While many were saved, a few of them resulted in the lost of countless lives. But not once in all of her predictions did Madame Shibabawa use a word with the same weight as 'trouble'. Something more dangerous than a Dragon-level catalyst or monster is on its way and it will occur sometime in the next six months!" exclaimed Sitch with a nervous sweat dripping down his face.
Izuku can see why the Minister Officer of Justice is so worried. While it's obvious just by looking at the faces of the other Heroes that some aren't entirely believing Sitch, Izuku is more than a little concerned. Having personally worked with Madame Shibabawa, he agrees with Sitch that she never used the word 'trouble' when she made her previous predictions and every prediction she ever made has always been 100% accurate, so he believes Sitch when he says there's something dangerous coming there way. Since she was looking into the future for the next six months, then the threat must reveal itself within that limit of time, although he would have preferred to have a bit more detail when it came to the prediction.
"Okay, but does that mean you don't know when in the next six months?" asked Watchdog Man.
"Yeah, it's kinda hard to plan for that" agreed Flashy Flash.
"So what you're telling us is that for the next six months, we must be constantly on the lookout for a God-level threat to appear?" asked Deku, speaking for the first time, since the meeting started.
"That is correct, Deku" answered Sitch. "I know it's inconvenient to a lot of you and it may be difficult, but if we wish to defeat the upcoming threat, we must be vigilant."
Deku opens his mouth to respond, but he suddenly feels Danger Sense twitch before everyone hears a nearby explosion and feel the building shake.
"The building is under attack!" exclaimed Genos is surprise.
"Wait, that's impossible! This is the Hero Association Headquarters!" stated Superalloy Darkshine who wonders who would be stupid enough to attack the Hero Association Headquarters, especially with nearly every S-Class Hero inside.
All of a sudden, the explosions stop, just as Deku stands up to deal with whoever is causing them.
"The explosions stopped" muttered Bang, wondering if somebody dealt with the one responsible.
Then without warning, Izuku feels his head nearly split in two as Danger Sense suddenly goes haywire, alerting him of an immensely dangerous threat nearby. Never in all his years of unlocking Danger Sense has the Quirk hurt this much. "Everyone get do-!"
Izuku is too late to warn the others as the sound of massive explosions can be heard from outside and the building begins to shake uncontrollably. The room turns dark as the building loses power, obviously because of whatever is happening outside. After a moment, the explosions cease and the building stops shaking.
"Emergency power has now been activated" said an automated voice before the lights in the room turn back on.
"What in blazes was that!? What in the hell is going on out there?!" exclaimed a confused and worried Sitch.
Bearded Worker is in the middle of looking at his phone while trying to communicate through his earpiece. "I don't know sir! All communications has been cut off. We're in the dark" he answered, equally worried.
Sitch begins to press the holographic buttons on the table and holographic screens and warnings appear, showcasing the damage done outside. What Sitch reads off the screens makes his heart miss a beat. "D-Destruction levels at 99.8%? City A has been leveled! It was destroyed in an instant!" cried Sitch, grabbing his head in horror. "I thought we would have more time, how could we know her prediction would come true so soon?!"
Tatsumaki ignores Bespectacled Worker's explanation over how Metal Knight built the Hero Association Headquarters which explains why it's sturdier than the avarage shelter and why it wasn't levelled with the rest of City A. She is instead, focusing her attention on Izuku who is staring at the holographic display that shows the high percentage of how much of City A was destroyed. The usually smiling Hero is no longer smiling, staring at the holograms with his mouth open in disbelief and horror. "Izuku..."
Mumen Rider is just as sickened as Deku as he can't believe that an entire city was destroyed in an instant. "All of City A destroyed. Millions of lives, gone in an instant" muttered Mumen Rider in horror.
"We should go outside and see what's going on for ourselves, just to be sure the prophecy is happening" said Child Emperor, just as several Heroes stand up to see what's happening outside.
"Mumen Rider, I want you to search for any survivors. Watchdog Man and Flashy Flash will help as well" told Deku, standing up and giving out orders before anyone can leave the room.
Watchdog Man quietly nods, understanding the reason why he should help with search and rescue. With his enhanced sense of smell and hearing, he can find survivors much quicker than other Heroes. However, Flashy Flash frowns. "I have better things to do than dig through rubble" told Flashy Flash who turns towards the doorway to leave.
However, a hand grabs him by his right shoulder and stops Flashy Flash in his tracks. Calmly, Flashy Flash looks over his shoulder to see that Deku had crossed the distance between them in an instant and is gripping his shoulder. "I see you're still as fast as ever" he said before slapping Deku's hand off of him. "So then, what now? You gonna try and force me to stay?"
"I won't force you to do whatever you don't want to do. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. I have more important things to do than argue with you" told Deku, walking past Flashy Flash who's eyes widen somewhat. "But if you want to keep calling yourself a Hero, then you will do what is required of you. You are the fastest Hero here. With your speed, you could find survivors at half the time, but if you've got something more important to do than to save lives, then you can leave." Deku walks past Flashy Flash and leaves the now silent room.
"Hahaha! He told you, bobby pin" laughed Metal Bat while pointing a finger at Flashy Flash.
"Hmph, if you aren't gonna help, then leave. You'll only get in my way anyway" scoffed Tatsumaki who floats after Deku, paying Flashy Flash no heed.
The other S-Class Heroes leave the meeting room to find out the source of what caused the destruction of City A, leaving Flashy Flash alone with his thoughts. For a moment, the blond-haired man stands in silence before cursing. "Damn it all" he cursed before he follows after the other Heroes. "If Deku wants a Hero, I'll show him a Hero."
xXx
Within the ruins of what use to be City A, a father and his son manage to climb out of some rubble of what use to be their home, but their reunion is ruined by the arrival of Melzargard, a General of the Dark Matter Thieves who are a group of alien invaders who have conquered countless planets before hand and they plan to do so to this world as well.
Melzargard is a large humanoid Alien with pale grey skin and blood-red eyes. The Alien's most striking feature is its multiple heads which are all staring at the father and son with cold uncaring eyes.
"What is this?/ It appears there are survivors/The ship failed to kill them all/We won't/That is good" spoke each of Melzargard's heads before he points his right hand towards the father and child. The Alien's fingers stretch and lunge towards the father and son with the intent to skewer them, but Melzargard suddenly finds his fingers sliced off, as well as having a deep cut stretch across his torso.
The one responsible is the A-Class Rank 2 Hero, Iaian who sheaths his blade. Iaian is a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt under a sleeveless medieval iron armour with a shoulder pad on his left shoulder. He also sports a matching medieval iron helmet. "Get away from here, right now!" ordered Iaian towards the two civilians. The father is more than happy to pick up his son and flee the area.
Iaian smiles at the sight of the civilians fleeing to safety, but when he turns to face the large Mysterious Being, he widens his eyes when he doesn't see it in front of him. Instead, he senses a large amount of bloodthirst coming from right behind him. Melzargard slams his hands together exactly where Iaian's head is, but when the Alien opens his hands, all he sees is the Hero's flattened iron helmet which falls to the floor.
"You think I don't sense your thirst for blood?"
Melzargard turns to see that the human had dodged his attack, although he wasn't fast enough to save his helmet.
"I accompanied master Atomic here and was waiting for the Class S meeting to come to an end, only to meet thunder and destruction" spoke Iaian, referring to how the large Alien ship in the sky destroyed City A in an instant. "Is this your doing, beast!" he roared, jumping towards Melzargard and cutting him in half with a single swing of his blade. Returning his katana to its sheathe again to prepare for another one of his Iai strikes, Iaian pulls his blade out again and in a single second, cuts the Alien all over his body.
Such attacks would have killed Tiger-level monsters and even some Demon-level. Unfortunately, Iaian is fighting a Mysterious Being who is a lot stronger than Demon-level threats. To Iaian's displeasure, he watches as the deep cuts he left on the Alien's body regenerate.
"This is one militant creature/Also cautious/Hurry. Let us hurry and kill/That is good" said Melzargard, finishing his regeneration process. The deep cuts Iaian made on the Alien's body is now no more.
"Can it even be destroyed?" wondered Iaian, gritting his teeth in annoyance. He dealt several lethal blows on the monster's body, having even cut off a few pieces from its body and yet, it recovered in a matter of seconds. The swordsman has never seen such an incredible regenerating ability from a Mysterious Being before.
With a bloodthirsty smile on each of his faces, Melzargard shapeshifts his left hand into a large hammer and swings it towards Iaian at shocking speeds. Iaian can barely see the attack coming and so, he shifts his body so that it won't be directly hit by the incoming attack, although he isn't fast enough to move his left arm away to avoid being hit.
However, just before Melzargard's attack could hit, a flash of white blurs past the Alien before disappearing into the distance. The blur is so fast that Iaian doesn't even see it and Melzargard barely notices it, but the Alien does notice how the blur managed to cut his body into several pieces and did so without him realizing it done so.
Iaian widens his eyes at seeing the large Mysterious Being suddenly crumple to the floor in several pieces. Not that he's complaining, since whoever cut the Alien down just saved him from losing an arm.
"Fast bastard. Why does he gotta show off like that?" grunted Atomic Samurai, catching a glimpse of Flashy Flash who runs off in search for survivors. The Mysterious Being was just unfortunate enough to be in Flashy Flash's way as he ran past and got cut up for his trouble. "What Deku said really lit a fire under his ass" he thought in amusement. The S-Class Rank 4 Hero casually walks up to Iaian and pats him on the shoulder. "Hey, Iaian, you alright? You're looking a little pale."
Iaian would be relieved to see his master, if not for the fact that he knows the Mysterious Being can't be defeated with swords. "Master! Swords have no effect on this strange creature!"
"Huh?" Atomic Samurai's response is followed by him tilting his head to the side while looking at his top disciple in confusion.
The pieces of Melzargard suddenly come back to life and remake his body which is already in the process of throwing a punch down on Atomic Samurai and Iaian, using his advantage of surprise to kill the two humans before they can put up a fight.
While the attack may have surprised Iaian if he didn't already know about the creature's regeneration ability, Atomic Samurai is neither surprised, nor slow to counter as he has already drawn his katana. "Begone!" shouted Atomic Samurai, swinging it katana down on Melzargard. Atomic Samurai's swing is so powerful and fast that not only does he cut through Melzargard's powerful body with ease, but slices him into dozens of pieces in the blink of an eye.
But just as Iaian said, the many pieces of Melzargard begin to levitate in the air before they begin connecting to each other, similar to a jigsaw puzzle.
Melzargard builds himself back together again, but this time, he made some changes to himself. For starters, he made his body larger, increased his muscle mass and joined his five heads together into one. Now, his head is larger in size, he has five rows of red eyes and five rows of teeth. "Good. Seems some life-forms on this planet can fight. Excellent! I invite you to try withstanding our invasion!" chuckled Melzargard, now speaking with one voice.
Atomic Samurai is undeterred by the Alien's regeneration and shapeshifting abilities. "Planet, huh?" muttered Atomic Samurai in curiosity. "So you're from outer space, then? And you got friends in that floaty toy ship thing, huh?" he stated, looking up at the spaceship that's floating over all their heads. "I doubt you've got the strength or the power to cause this much destruction to the city by yourself" he stated, taking a fighting stance.
Atomic Samurai isn't alone to fight the Dragon-level threat as Silver Fang steps up to his left side while Metal Bat comes up to his right.
"You can count us in, Atomic Samurai" said Silver Fang, ready and waiting for a fight.
"You're the ugly bastard that smashed this town?" asked Metal Bat, glaring up at the Alien.
Melzargard smirks at the humans facing him. "And what happens if I say yes?" he asked with a bloodthirsty grin.
"For all the beautiful men you killed..."
Melzargard hears a voice behind him and turns around to see another human running towards him.
Said human is none other than Puri Puri Prisoner. "I claim vengeance!" he exclaimed before jumping into the air. Puri Puri Prisoner spreads his arms out and tenses his muscles, causing his prison uniform to rip apart, leaving him naked. Like before when performing his Angel Rush technique, a mirage of a large pair wings appear from behind him, but instead of the wings being an angelic white, they are now black as night, giving off an appearance that Puri Puri Prisoner is a Fallen Angel.
The reason for Puri Puri Prisoner's wings being black instead of white is because the technique he's using is a refined version of his Angel Rush special move. "Just as they said, each separate attack must be delivered with the intent to kill!" thought Puri Puri Prisoner, recalling the words of both the Deep Sea King and Deku. After thinking about what they said, he had come to agree that his strength lacks without killing intent. Unlike with the Deep Sea King, he won't make the mistake of holding back any longer.
"Dark Angel Rush!" exclaimed Puri Puri Prisoner as the mirage of black wings fades and he falls down towards Melzargard. Like with his Angel Rush technique, Puri Puri Prisoner delivers a flurry of punches on his opponent, but the difference this time is that each of his punches are delivered with the intent to kill the Alien.
Melzargard is at the mercy of Puri Puri Prisoner as the S-Class Hero throws a barrage of fast and powerful punches down on him.
( Hero Association Headquarters - Control Room )
While the Heroes are outside, fighting the Alien threat, the Hero Association employees are all running towards their stations to help out in their own way.
Bearded Worker and Bespectacled Worker run into the control room and begin issuing orders. "Issue an evacuation warning to City A and all neighbouring cities, right away!" ordered Bearded Worker to all the men and women in the control room.
"Yes sir!" chorused several workers, nodding in agreement.
"And expand the System M vitals monitor system to cover all of City A. We need an accurate count of the survivors we'll need to rescue" continued Bearded Worker.
"What's the threat level?" asked an Association employee.
"Dragon, without a doubt" answered Bespectacled Worker like as if it should be obvious. If the spaceship could destroy an entire City without their sensors picking it up, then it's obvious that the threat is greater than Demon.
"Not quite..." Bearded Worker looks up at the main monitor which shows live footage of the massive Alien spaceship which is hovering above the ruins of City A. "This might be God."
( Hero Association Headquarters - Rooftop )
As Silver Fang, Metal Bat, Atomic Samurai and Puri Puri Prisoner fight Melzargard on the ground, more S-Class Heroes are standing on the rooftop of the Hero Association Headquarters, hoping to get some insight on how to take down the massive spaceship which is the size of an entire city.
"Four S-Class Heroes can take care of the enemy on the ground, but the real problem is up there" stated Child Emperor, sucking on his lollipop while staring up at the floating spaceship. "We can't reach that ship. Any aircraft would be shot down in a matter of seconds."
Superalloy Darkshine turns to Deku. "Any ideas, Deku? You're the top Hero so I'd like to hear your take on this" he asked Deku, noting how the Number One Hero is no longer smiling, a rare and unfortunate circumstance if there ever is one.
As angry as he is, Izuku doesn't let his rage over the destruction of City A control him and thinks rationally. Getting angry won't do him any good. "With the Mysterious Being on the ground being dealt with, we should be focusing our efforts on finding and escorting any survivors to the Association Headquarters so they can be treated for any injuries they may have. Flashy Flash and Watchdog Man may be leading the search, but it would be faster to have others helping out as well."
"I'll head out and help with the search" told Zombieman, seeing as how he won't be of any help in taking down the spaceship. He could join in on the fight against the Mysterious Being on the ground, but having too many S-Class Heroes fighting the same monster will only lead to them getting in each other's way. He can at least help with digging through the rubble to find survivors.
"*munch* I'll go *munch* too" said Pig God, finishing the last of his burgers. Throwing the now empty paper bag over his shoulder, Pig God grabs a disgruntled Zombieman and with a wave to the others, jumps off the Hero Association building. Upon landing on the ground below, everyone on the rooftop can feel the building shake from the impact of Pig God's landing. A normal human wouldn't survive such a fall, but Pig God and Zombieman can be seen running off in search for survivors, showing no damage caused to either men from the fall.
"Now that's settled, what do you plan to do with the ship?" asked Child Emperor, looking between Deku and the spaceship in the sky.
"Perhaps we can call in Metal Knight?" asked King who is standing behind the others with his arms folded, looking serious while inwardly freaking out over the destruction of City A.
"We don't need Metal Knight. Hell, I can handle all of this by myself" scoffed Tatsumaki, disgusted at the thought of calling in Metal Knight for help.
Izuku knows that Metal Knight's weapons of mass destruction would be of great help in damaging the spaceship, but seeing as the Association couldn't contact him for the S-Class meeting, he doubts that they could contact him now. "We don't have time to wait for Metal Knight. We need to take that ship down, now" stated Izuku, glaring up at the spaceship. "I want everyone to do all they can to damage that ship from below. I don't care if you have to throw rocks at it, I want that ship brought down."
Tanktop Master perks up over what Deku said.
"Of course, sensei!" exclaimed Genos in acceptance.
"Tatsu, the ship may try to do what it did to the city before to stop everybody else. I want you to make sure that they don't have to worry about being attacked from above."
Tatsumaki looks away and scoffs, although hiding the tinge of pink that covers her cheeks. "I guess I can, this one time."
Izuku smiles in appreciation. "Thank you, Tatsu" he said, not seeing Tatsumaki's cheeks glow even pinker.
Child Emperor turns to Deku, looking curious. "And what is it will you doing, Deku?"
Deku looks up at the spaceship and Child Emperor notices how Deku's eyes are starting to glow with power. "I'm going to board that ship and take it out from the inside."
Superalloy Darkshine laughs in good nature over Deku's statement. "That's the Number One Hero for ya" he laughed, slapping Deku's back in encouragement. "Go get them, tiger."
Ignoring the throbbing pain in his back, Deku nods and activates Full Cowl at fifty percent power before he jumps straight towards the spaceship at blinding speeds. Just as Deku is nearing the spaceship, he notices a flicker of purple light somewhere under the ship. All of a sudden, he feels Danger Sense go off, just in time as it gives Izuku a warning to dodge the massive shell which flies towards him. Dodging to the left, times slows for a second as Izuku looks at himself from the reflection of the giant shell as it flies past him, having just missed hitting him by an inch. "So that's what destroyed City A" he thought, guessing that the invaders have cannons at the bottom of the ship which fires more of these massive shells.
Times returns to normal and the giant shell flies past Deku and disappears in the distance within half a second. Deku notices several flashes of purple before eight more shells are fired at him with extreme velocity and incredible accuracy. Izuku moves left, right, up and down to avoid the massive shells and just when he thinks they've stopped firing at him, they fire another shell. This time, Izuku doesn't try to dodge and instead, takes the shell head on by punching in. The giant shell which is powerful enough to destroy buildings is stopped in its tracks and is caved in from Deku's punch. "Take your shell back!" shouted Deku who tosses the destroyed shell back at where he saw it get shot from. The shell is thrown back at greater velocity than when it was shot and destroys the cannon and two others when it hits the ship. However, the damage done to the ship is superficial at best.
Deku then flies up towards the side of the ship and without slowing down, crashes straight through the metal hull, causing an explosion from his violent entry.
From the rooftop of the Hero Association Headquarters, Superalloy Darkshine places his hands on his hips and laughs out loud. "Poor guys don't know what they brought on themselves. I nearly feel sorry for them. Nearly."
"I will head down and collect data on the battle between the others and the monster on the ground" said Drive Knight who walks off the rooftop to go and study the fight between his fellow S-Heroes and the Alien. If he can, he'll also try to collect a sample from the Alien so he can study the creature's incredible regeneration ability.
"You do you, man" smiled Superalloy Darkshine, even though Drive Knight has already jumped off the building. The S-Class Rank 11 Hero looks around and sees that most of the other S-Class Heroes have already left, leaving him alone with Tatsumaki. He opens his mouth to say something, but stops when he notices Tatsumaki's solemn expression as she looks up at the ship or rather, the smoking hole that Deku made when entering the spaceship.
All Tatsumaki can do is stare up at the ship, looking at the large smoking hole on the side of the ship which Deku made when he forcefully entered it. She knows no pitiful monster or Alien could defeat Deku, but she can't help but worry. Never has she seen him so distraught. Izuku has always taken his Hero duties a lot more serious than others so seeing that an entire city was destroyed must have hurt him badly.
"Izuku... don't you do something stupid."
