When Izuku returned to conciousness he found himself in the med bay. Hitoshi was seated just across him with his arm in a sling. Many other members of the Guild were scattered throughout the med bay with varying levels of treatment.
Katsuku had bandages wrapped around his forearms and smelt of burn cream. Kirishima had numerous ice packs being held to his sores and bruises. Dabi was had a drip in his arm and also smelt of burn cream. He could go on and on but the those were the most severe that he saw.
It was then that Kai approached him with Eri following close behind him. As he glance further back he could also make out Tokoyami talking with Himiko and Shuichi.
Then Kai pinched his arm.
"When you got back, you spent several days without break creating those Anti-Noumu Weapons. Then you rushed out when I told you that an army of Noumu were attacking the others. You then spent close to an hour pushing your various Quirks to the max while warping around to arm the others with untested and experimental items, which I'm amazed that none of them went haywire while under such intense usage. The moment you returned you passed out... Midoriya, I'm both concerned and annoyed with you." he half-lectured as Eri talked with some of the members.
Midoriya just put his hands up in a mock surrender before speaking. "Look Kai, I know that I may be a workaholic-" "You're far worse than a workaholic." Kai interupted. "-I may be a workaholic, but I was only trying to get the Anti-Noumu Weapons made as soon as possible. The fact that an army of Noumus attacked us was both coincidence and a near miss; had I not finished the prototypes I would have had to get the others out as quickly as possible but let the Noumus wreck havoc as a result, and if I didn't get out there they may have been killed them." he countered Kai's lecture.
"We're right here you know." Katsuki pointed out. "I know, I just want to point out how dangerous the situation is." Kai retorted. Katsuki sighed in response while Midoriya just rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
Nedzu could only marvel at the weapons taken from the city; knives lodged in skulls and strange grenades were littered all throughout the battlefield. From the video evidence the knives could seek out their target while the grenades discharged large amounts of electricity.
Yet all analysis proved nothing.
There was no technology that let the knives follow their target. The videos showed that Cellophane, Doll, and Spinner were all armed with such weapons and the only one with a 'Quirk' that would allow such a thing was Spinner. When inspected they showed as just knives. Just... Normal... Knives.
The grenades were a bit easier; only Taser used them and his 'Quirk' was related entirely to electricity. Their design showed that they had to be manually charged but every attempt was met with either nothing or a disastrous failure.
Power Loader was left scratching her head at these weapons. The Hero Comission was left scratching their heads at these weapons.
Hell, I-Island were scratching their heads at these weapons.
So, while everyone else was hard pressed to find out just why these weapons could do what they did, he was looking for any sort of historical example.
Case in Point, one Adam Brandy.
A British man who reportedly went missing while visiting some friends in Japan over a century ago. This was back during the time that Quirk laws were far more chaotic, so his Quirk wasn't fully understood. The Quirk was known as Infusion and it allowed him to infuse any object with the ability of another Quirk in a time consuming process.
On record it would take him two hours to infuse a box with a simple illumination Quirk.
So the fact that the Guild could create so many of these weapons in such a short time with such complex Quirks was amazing.
All the more reason to get some for UA, should the Guild actually agree to it.
Some prodding also showed that these weapons were quite experimental. Sometimes the knives would become bent when thrown, other times they would fly back and stab the thrower. The grenades disastrous failure after attempts to charge them were also evidence of them being experimental. It was impressive that none of the weapons went wrong while in the hands on the Guild members.
He could only imagine what would happen if the Guild came out with finished designs rather than prototypes.
Ochako had rushed to the Guild hideout the moment she was finished with her internships, Mina wasn't far behind her.
They were terrified of what could have happened to them.
So Mina latched her arms right around Kirishima the instant she saw him. She rapidly descended into a concerned storm of muttering while nearing tears. Kirishima just held and comforted her.
When Midoriya walked past Ochako grabbed him in an instant. "There's something I have to tell you." she said holding his shoulder. He took note of the concern on her face and nodded as she dragged him with her.
It was all over the news, The Guild had pulled a clutch move and came out alive. They had fought an massive army of Noumus and survived.
"As heroes continue to sweep the city. Experts still debate why these vigilantes were attacked by well over three hundred Noumus in a single night. Most point-" the T.v was then turned off.
Shigaraki just seethed in rage as she rewatched the videos of the Guild fighting off the Noumu. So many of them were being constantly pushed back, even Ground Zero and Fortress were pushed into a corner.
Then Owl arrived with powerful attacks and brokenly powerful weapons.
The weapons were strange but the heroes had already cleared them out before she could get her hands on any of them.
But Owl, the moment she saw him use those Quirks (there was no single Quirk). She knew just one person who could use such powers.
Her Sensei.
But it was clear that he had no connection to the Guild. There was only one possible reason that Owl could use such powers, and that would be if he was sensei's decendant.
Yet this raised another question. Why would Sensei's own blood be a vigilante?
The bounties on the Commision's official site had gone up. The show they had given with all their powerful weapons left those bitches terrified.
The sheer amount of Noumus that they killed was another point.
So that means that every half rate under the sun will be on there asses for the next couple weeks.
There also came a shift in power rankings on some of the vigilante sites.
Deku's at the top now, after his demonstration of power against those Noumus. He was just behind him in ranking now, Touya was right in third, while everyone else varies depending on the site.
The whole world might be chomping at the bit to get the Guild, either to gain access to the items or to kill us.
Not like Deku will heed such a warning though, he'd charge straight into hell if you told him that there were innocent people trapped in there.
The whole hero world will be after them, so it's best to disappear for a while.
It had been years since she had last felt chills, since she last fought... HIM.
She had left All For One as nothing more than a headless corpse. Now this dreaded power was being used by another. If only she had gone after the Guild when she had the chance.
She could have gotten rid of the accursed Quirk with a single move. All she could do is relent at the missed opportunity and hope that her successor could snag the cursed bastards before he grows to powerful.
Speaking of Bastards.
Midoriya would make a tempting target for someone with All For One.
He wasn't panicking, he wasn't panicking at all.
Not... One... Bit...
It's not like his adopted daughter just sent a large fraction of his Noumus against his son. It's not like said son just showed off that he had Afo to the whole fucking WORLD.
All Might is probably gunning for him now.
So he'll have to move forward with his plans, sooner than expected.
Izuku was conflicted. Ochako just spilt her own secret out to him. She revealed the nature and history of the Quirk she had been given.
She had revealed that his Quirk belonged to a villain.
His father, was most likely said villain.
He understood why she had told him it. He had told her his great secret, she watched him take on horrid odds, they both had earth shatteringly secrets.
It was probably the guilt from the drawn conclusion and the near death experience that drove her to tell him this.
He knew it was strange, but the tale of All For One and One For All was bittersweet.
He gained insight on something that would provide a great study, but also a terrible discovery.
His dad was a villain, which meant that Miss Kuro may have also been a villain.
The idea of being related to a villain just ate away at him. He was determined to be a hero, to save people, but he was related to what may be the worst villain of all time.
The additional information also pointed to just what happened to his father; All Might had punched his face right into the pavement.
One of his favorite heroes, might have killed his father.
What was he to do?
They didn't resume their patrols after that night. They dissapeared from the scene and lived their normal lives.
Most of them anyway.
Midoriya was more cautious while going outside, he accepted less and less offers for Quirk Analysis, he spent more time on his Anti-Noumu Weapons.
It was creepy how obsessed he became.
Then he came out, bags under his eyes and hair in a tangled mess. He presented to the final versions of their Anti-Noumu Weapons. All of which being refined and upgraded forms of the prototypes used against the Noumus that night.
After that he passed out on the couch.
It was several hours later that he woke up. Eri and Emi were staring at him incredibly concern, Dark Shadow as well. He tried to reassure them, tried, but they just looked at him like they knew he wasn't doing alright.
He rubbed the back of his neck and let them pull him off the couch. They dragged him too one of the closed off areas of homebase and left him there.
As he glanced around he found someone else was there, it was Ochako.
Denki was just happy to resume his normal life. Don't get him wrong, being a vigilante was fulfilling and awesome, but it was also hard. After the Noumu attack Midoriya and Bakugou ordered them to lay low and not attract any attention.
So he didn't, he just lived his normal life. He and Sero, in their apartment, with their crappy part time job at the local supermarket that hired them because they could pass for girls.
He never said his life was easy.
There was one upside.
Jirou accepted going on a date with him.
Something was finally looking up for him.
Sero just laughed when he told him about it; not in an insultive way, more a brotherly way. He got to work helping him prepare for it. They scraped together both their saved money and some of Midoriya's "donations" and booked one of the nicer restaurants close by.
The night was going to be awesome.
She was concerned for him, the guilt of what she may have done had already started eating away at her. He seemed lost and obsessed, so she'll fix this.
She asked for Eri and Emi to get him while she prepared the meeting spot.
When he got there she saw how ragged he had been working himself. The moment he saw her, she gestured for him to get closer.
"I want to talk Izuku." she said in a quiet voice. Izuku got closer and talked back; "What's there to talk about?". "About us, about what we now have." she answered him.
He seemed to consider it, their even being a small glow in his eyes for a single moment.
"I know what I told you has messed with you, I'm sorry." she apologized. "No.. no, don't apologize, you felt like what you were hiding may have disastrous consequences if it was revealed at an inopportune time." he reassured her. "But I told you it at the worst time, you were exhausted and in hiding. I saw you almost die and I wanted to tell you about One For All because of my concern. It was my selfish decision." she countered.
Midoriya held her closely, their eyes leveled with one another. "It's also selfish of me to reveal the secrets of All For One to the rest of the Guild, but I do it anyway." he responded.
"This was supposed to be me helping you, not the other way around." she said.
Midoriya nodded and let her continue.
"So, I came to a conclusion. We could end the cycle of violence, together. One For All would no longer need to be transferred from user to user, All For One would no longer need to be hidden. We just have to do this together." she explained.
Midoriya understood what she meant.
"What if others try to stop us?" he asked. "Your father, or whatever relative Afo is to you, may not try anything to stop you. You aren't him, though you both carry the same Quirk you aren't a villain like him." She reassured him. "And All Might?" he asked again. "I won't let her try anything." she answered.
"In all honesty, the plan is very well thought out. But if we keep to the end goal and stop all the needless violence between the two Quirks, it'll work out." she finished. There were things Midoriya wanted to add, but for now he just pulled Ochako close to him and they embraced one another.
Neither of them noticed to change in scenery, or the vestiges staring down at them with confliction.
The underground was moving, any sort of information on the Guild was being shipped around as though it was the hottest scoop of the century.
Granted, it may as well be the greatest scoop of the century.
Old security footage, snippets of info, even scraps of old suits and broken items were being sent all around the Dark Web. It was an all around clusterfuck of outdated and false information being spread.
He wasn't going to bother with things that were false, or outdated. He was cautiously watching for any piece of information that would be relevant, and useful against them.
Recorded patrol routes, gone.
Estimations on the power of their items, gone.
Possible identity links, you better believe he made sure those were gone.
It wasn't all that difficult, the only issue was the sheer amount of actual information leaking through the fakes. The current rate was one out one hundred pieces of information was right, when that's applied to the near millions of information being exchanged... It means a lot of work for him.
They didn't know when they had fallen asleep, his head was resting on her shoulder when he came to. They were still in the area she had started the meeting in.
She woke up not long after him, a soft groan leaving her as she adjusted her body. He smiled as she opened her eyes and pulled him closer to her.
"So, we're going through with the plan?" he asked. Ochako nodded; "Of course, the sooner the better." she responded. "Then let's start it." he whispered into her ear.
She blushed before he kissed her, and she kissed back.
Deku's been looking better since he finished those Weapons. He was sleeping normally again and everything. He even got back to Quirk Analysis and sessions.
If only, he wasn't being so smitten with Round Face.
Of course he had been teasing towards them before, but seeing them actually be all lovey dovey was just sickening. What did she even do? what the hell did he do? Do relationships just bloom from friendship?
And why was he even giving a damn?
Not like he cares about love.
All he needs is to beat the shit out of villains, nothing more.
The fact that Sparky was going out with his own girl, that Shitty Hair and Raccoon Eyes were without a doubt together, and his own adopted brother was going for the Psycho Inventor Chick just made it worse.
They're supposed to be a bunch of badass vigilantes, not contestants on some shitty romance show.
If one more girl butts in on one more guy, he'll lose his shit.
Patrols were starting to resume. It had been a full month since the night those Noumus attacked. Midoriya ordered that everyone patrol in groups of two to three, no more lone patrols.
He wasn't taking any chances, neither were the rest of them.
He heard on the news that Endeawhore and All Might were actually racing to see who could get us behind bars first. That's a thought he doesn't want to tolerate.
He could handle Endeavor, most of them could handle any hero, but All Might. All Might would be a tough battle for any of them, even Midoriya would struggle in the face of such power.
Then a feather flew past his head. He turned to the hero and raised his hand, letting flames rise from it. Shuichi raised his blade and Himiko held up her needle.
They were face to face with Hawks. Her wings on full display as she stared them down. Then she spoke; "Hello there Hot Stuff.".
That's a wrap, and a cliffhanger. Hope you all enjoyed our current Arc of the Guild. I'm probably going to make another chapter of Guild Au before posting the next chapter.
Hope you all have a good day.
