Sorry, it took me so long to update, I for whatever reason ran out of steam to write anything but one of my fics.
Not that I didn't want to, I just...didn't have the energy for some reason.
Anyway, onto the story.
"Izu…"
"Huh?"
"Izuku wa…"
"Nnnnn."
"Izuku wake up!"
"Huh!" Izuku jolted up and found that Ochaco was the one that had woken him up, and the worried look on her face immediately put Izuku on alert. "What happened?"
"Take a look." Ochaco turned on the T.V.
"Break news! The pro hero Froppy has been taken, hostage!" Said a newswoman. "The pro hero was ambushed by a group of villains and turned to stone by one of their quirks. She is now being held hostage, and the group is threatening to kill her, should Izuku Midoriya, outside his armor, not show himself within the next two hours. Should any pro be spotted too close to the area, they will kill Froppy."
Ochaco turned off the T.V. and looked at him with a fearful expression. "What are we going to do?"
Izuku thought for a moment. "Where are they, and how long will take me to get there in a car."
"The docs, and about an hour," Ochaco answered. "Why?"
"Well, then I have an hour to finish up my latest armor," Izuku said as he got up and started running towards his lab.
"They'll kill her if they see you in armor." Ochaco pointed out as she ran beside him.
"I know, and that's why they won't see the armor," Izuku told her. "Not until it's too late."

"We have ten minutes left before the villains are said to kill pro hero Froppy." Said a reporter to her camera crew. "We are at the city docs, where a small crowd has formed behind police lines, as the city worriedly waits to see if someone will come to the rescue, or if Izuku Midoriya will actually show up to...wait! I think that's him!"
Behind the crowd, a limousine rolled up, stopping a good distance behind everyone, and immediately gaining the attention of all present.
The back door open, and Izuku stepped out, wearing a black business suit, and bearing a serious expression.
Izuku started walking towards the police line, and he made it a few steps before the press started to swarm him.
"Mr. Midoriya are you seriously coming to face the villains without your armor?!"
"Mr. Midoriya do you intend to try and bribe the villains!?"
"Mr. Midoriya do you know what these villains want with you?!"
"Move," Izuku said simply, yet firmly. "Or else it's your jobs on the line."
Almost immediately everyone moved back, although many were surprised by this action coming from Izuku, given how he's acted in public before.
Izuku approached the police line and went right under it.
"Sir you can't be here." Said one of the officers, getting in front of him.
"And you going to stop me?" Izuku asked, looking far more intimidating than the officer first expected.
"Uh...yes. That's my job sir." The officer answered nervously.
"So if you didn't have this job anymore then you wouldn't be in my way." Izuku threatened.
"I…" The officer froze, not sure how to respond to that.
"That was your one warning. Don't get in my way." Izuku said, moving around the officer, and no one tried to stop him.

Izuku made his way outback, behind the warehouse, and into the shipyard, where he saw four villains waiting for him.
One was a guy who clearly had a fire-based quirk, as his orange and red costume, with fire details gave that away instantly. There was also a fist emblem on the center of the suit for some reason.
The next one was a rather large man, who was quite exposed, only wearing a pair of gold shorts.
After that, there was a man who was just as large, but he was wearing a pair of boots that looked rather tech-based.
Lastly, there was a man who looked to be made of stone and was most likely the one who turned Asui to stone. He had on some purple gloves and boots, but the most notable thing about him was the purple wing pack on his back.
And in the center of them was Asui, turned to stone in a pose that indicated she'd been struggling against the stone villain before he got her.
"Finally! Izuku Midoriya." The fire villain smirked. "And here I thought you were just going to let Froppy here, croak."
"I wouldn't even think about it," Izuku said, glaring instantly at them. "Now what do you want? Is it money? Technology?"
"No, nothing like that." The grey man said.
Suddenly the fire villain aimed his palm at Izuku. "We just want you gone!"
Just as the villain ignited his fist, Izuku brought his hand to his chest and pressed down.
BOOM!
The fire villain shot out a huge blast of fire at Izuku, the engulfed him completely.
Once the fire died down, there was a massive amount of smoke, blocking the villain's line of sight, although they didn't care all too much, as far they were concerned, they'd already won.
Oh, how wrong they were.
Suddenly, Izuku, in his armor, flew out of the smoke, and grabbed Asui, before carrying her into the air.
"All systems operational! The Mark 4, Mobile Armor is ready for use." Jarvis said.
The mobile armor. After what happened at the amusement park, Izuku decided it was best, to always have armor on hand. As such, the mobile armor was created.
With the ability to either becoming a suitcase or in this case, being worn on Izuku's chest before expanding to the rest of his body, this thing could be taken pretty much anywhere.
Of course, there were plenty of downsides to this suit. After all, he didn't have a whole mechanism to put on his suit back at home for nothing.
This suit had to be made a lot of different, and often case, worse materials than his standard Iron Man suit. Meaning it was significantly weaker, slower, less durable than his standard suit. And the only weapons it had were its strength, the repulsor beams, and the Unibeam.
It was an armor only meant to be used in emergency cases, where using his regular armor at home wasn't an option.
"Sir, I have done an analysis on all four of the villains," Jarvis told him. "The villains are Firebrand, Grey Gargoyle, Arsenal, and Titanium Man. All of them are classified as B-class villains."
"So nothing like Whiplash then," Izuku said. "Good. Alright, first priority is putting Asui somewhere safe, without getting too far away from the villains. I can't let them escape. But where...ah. Yeah, that'll do."
Izuku then promptly threw Asui directly into the sea.
"Shit we just lost our hostage!" Firebrand cursed, before aiming his gauntlet-covered hands at Izuku. "Everyone kill him now before the heroes show up!"
Firebrand started shooting fire at Izuku, while suddenly weapons like rocket launches, Bazookas, and Laser canons came out of his body, and shot out rockets and lasers at Izuku, and Grey Gargoyle took to the sky with his wing pack and charged at Izuku.
Izuku started dodging all the things being shot at him, with Grey Gargoyle chasing behind him.
"Sir, all the technology being used originates from Midoriya Industries," Jarvis told him.
"Yeah, I figured," Izuku growled.
Izuku turned and shot two repulsor blasts at Gary Gargoyle.
In response, Gray Gargoyle blocked both blasts with his wings, before continuing to chase him.
"Agh." Izuku groaned, lamenting the weaker repulser blast this suit had. But hey it was either that or reduce the power efficiency. "Jarvis, analyze his wings for a weak-gah!"
BOOM!
As Izuku was flying he got blasted by one of the rockets and sent hurtling to the ground.
CRASH!
"Ohhhh." Izuku groaned, as he quickly pulled himself onto his knees.
FWOOSH!
"AGH!" Izuku grit his teeth, as Firebrand blasted him with fire.
His armor protected him for the most part, but he could still feel the intense heat of Firebrand's quirk, combined with his enhancer gauntlets.
"This armor can not take continued contact with this level of heat for much longer," Jarvis told him.
"Got it." Izuku fired off his thrusters, and dashed out of the path of the fire, before shooting off repulsor blasts at Arsenal and Firebrand.
Only for Titanium Man to step out in front of them, and turn his body into metal and tanking the blast.
"Tch. Damn it." Izuku silently swore.
"Above you sir!" Jarvis said urgently. "Grey Gargoyle Incoming!"
Izuku didn't even bother to look, instead, he just reacted, using his thrusters to blast him backward, as Grey Gargoyle came down, missing Izuku entirely.
The armored hero flew over the water, taking another look at his opponents.
"Sir, Titanium Man has the ability to turn into an extremely durable metal. However, it appears that he is unable to move while doing so." Jarvis analyzed. "Use this information as you will."
"Alright," Izuku said as Arsenal launched more rockets at Izuku, which Izuku flew up to avoid.
However, the rockets started flying up with him.
"Tracking rockets. Great." Izuku was more upset that they were tracking him with HIS tech than about the tracking itself. He flew through the air, outpacing the rockets, however, he saw Grey Gargoyle approaching him from the side.
And then he got an idea.
"This is MY tech," Izuku said. "And I'M gonna be the one to use it! Jarvis increase the thruster speed!"
Immediately Izuku blasted off, now moving at twice the speed, he did before, rocketing upwards, as the rockets followed him from a distance, although Grey Garyole was left in the metaphorical dust.
Izuku went upwards, going up a good distance, allowing the rockets to get closer, before diving back down.
Right on top of Grey Gargoyle, with the missiles in tow.
Once Grey Gargoyle was in sight, Izuku knew it was the time. "Put even more power into the thrusters!"
VROOM!
Izuku boosted even faster, rocketing past Grey Gargoyle, so fast that the villain froze up in terror.
And that was his mistake, as now Izuku was out of the missiles tracking range, and they were now just going in a set direction.
That direction being right at Grey Gargoyle.
KABOOM!
The rockets hit Grey Gargoyle, creating a huge explosion, which sent the villain plummeting unconscious to the ground.
"Shit he took out Gargoyle!" Firebrand shouted. "Everyone stay together. Arsenal unleash hell!"
More weapons came out of Arsenals body, and he blasted more rockets and lasers out, as Firebrand unleashed even more fire.
Izuku dodged everything that he could, repluser blasting some of the missiles that came too close to him.
He also unleashed a few blasts towards the villains, however, Titanium Man would act as a human shield, and stop whatever attacks came towards them.
"How much power do we have?" Izuku asked.
"We are at 71%" Jarvis answered.
"Run an analysis on Titanium Man, how much does he weigh in metal form, and how tough is he?" Izuku asked.
"Already done sir. While this suit does have the capabilities to lift or damage him in his metal form, doing so would quickly drain the power of this suit, and leave you valuable to the other villains." Jarvis told him. "Finding another solution is advisable."
"Alright, well he can't move…" Izuku thought deeply about this while dodging and blasting the attacks being sent at him, and looking over the battlefield. In particular, the nearby sea. "If I could just get him close to the water."
Izuku quickly formulated a plan, and then landed on the ground, a few yards away from the villains. "Hey! Rip off Tetsutetsu!"
"Huh!?" Titanium Man instantly became enraged. Looks like he touched a nerve. "Why the fuck do people keep calling me that!?"
"Hey, it's your own fault for being the dollar store version of a hero who's already a rip-off of a better hero!" Izuku silently apologized to Tetsutetsu. "That's like rip squared! How pathetic can you be!? You can't even attack!"
"Why you little!" Titanium Man charged towards Izuku, blinded by rage, unable to see how bad of an idea this was.
"No, you idiot come back here!" Firebrand cried out.
But Titanium Man ignored him, charging towards Izuku, approaching him, before coating his fist in his metal, and punching down at him.
He never stood a chance.
Izuku dashed between his legs, and jumped at his back, drop-kicking his exposed back, using his thrusters to push him away.
Titanium Man was sent flying right into the water.
SPLASH!
"Agh!" Titanium Man wildly flailed around in the water. "What the hell!"
Izuku raised his arm to fire another blast, however, Titanium Man saw this, and turned to metal once again, causing him to quickly sink into the water.
"Well, looks like he's gonna be in there for a bit," Izuku said, before turning to the remaining two villains, who looked at him with eyes full of fear. "Now it's time to take care of you two."
Firebrand looked at Izuku, and then at Arsenal.
Then the flame-wielding villain went behind Arsenal and blasted him in the head with fire.
"AGH!" Arsenal immediately went unconscious from the heat, and started to fall forward, only for Firebrand to grab him, and hold his hand to his head.
"Don't come closer!" Firebrand said, threatening Arsenal. "Your one of those goody-two-shoes! Right!? Could you really live with yourself if you got a man killed!? Even him!?"
Izuku grit his teeth. "Coward."
"Maybe! But I'm a coward that'll be the one to escape!" Firebrand said as she started moving away, trying to escape with his hostage in his arm.
"Jarvis. What do I do here." Izuku asked his A.I.
"There is no need to worry about that sir," Jarvis told him. "May I remind you that you are not the only crime-fighter here?"
THWACK!
Suddenly, Tsu decamoflaged, appearing right next to Firebrand, and kicking him in the face, with her extremely powerful legs.
"AGHHHHHHHH!" Firebrand was sent flying a few dozen yards away, smashing into some storage crates, and laying there unconscious.
"Oh. I guess when Grey Gargoyle was taken out, she must have been turned back to normal." Izuku realized.
"Indeed. It appears she also took care of Titanium Man." Jarvis told him. "Take a look to your left."
Izuku looked to his left and saw Titanium Man hanging on a crane, over the water.
"Oh, thanks, Tsu!" Izuku called out to the rainy season hero.
"I think I should be thanking you, Kero," Tsu told him. "Looks like you got into some trouble, because of my mistake. Sorry about that."
"It's fine. I've made more embarrassing mistakes." Izuku told her. "Are alright? I can imagine waking underwater could be a bit jarring."
"It was, but grasped what was happening pretty quickly," Tsu said. "Now I think we should wrap this up, Kero. You can tell me what happened later."
"Right, let's get these guys in restraints," Izuku said.
Alright, so that's the first showing of the mobile armor. We'll see more of it later.
Yeah, the mobile armor is much weaker than the others, for a few reasons. Firstly, it has to have a pretty big downside to balance out being portable, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for Izuku to have that big thing to put his suit on if he could have just made it portable.
It also lets me put Izuku against less powerful villains like these ones, without screwing up the power scaling.
Well, please give your thoughts, and have a nice day.
