Hey there, readers. So, I decided to update this story for a week for any errors, or any changes that I wanted to put in it cause making stories is like making art, and art can't be rushed at all. But there are other things that I had in plan, like making future chapters for this story and so forth. Anyway, some answered reviews:
UniBlueFairey: Thanks! Glad to hear that you love it!
NiteOwl18 - As always, thanks.

Enjoy!
AIR FORCE HERO
Chapter 10: First Mission
Inside a dark, horrifying-looking laboratory, the masked stabber known as Blood Shank is tinkering with his helmet that looked like it was been touched for about hours, judging from the loose screws and the sweat dripping on his face due to the lack of ventilation in the said lab. After tightening a screw and clamping a piece, the stabber grabbed his mask and put it on as he breathe into it, and let out a raspy, yet satisfying breath out.
"Stupid mask…" he muttered to himself. "For years, I've been putting it on, and there's nothing else that can't be fixed?" he grabbed his knife on the table and stabbed it on the table in a bad temper.
Then, a large person stepped at the doorway, and tapped the side, getting his attention. He realized that Kendo Rappa is there to see him.
"Rappa? What do you want?" Blood Shank asked.
"Hey, don't look at me with those eyes of yours, you creep! You're creeping the shit out of me!" Rappa argued.
The masked stabber looked away, "Just tell me what is it."
"The boss wants to see you. He said it's pretty urgent." Rappa said.
This gave a skeptical look on Blood Shank's face as he lifted a brow. What could his 'boss' possibly need?
Blood Shank entered the room as he looked upon his boss, who was looking at the monitor while his head is covered with a black hooded jacket. "You wanted to see me?" he asked.
The hooded man didn't say anything back, as he kept on watching the monitor with ease, not even moving an inch. To Blood Shank, the hooded man may just be a normal person wearing a hood, but deep down, it looked so menacing that he doesn't want to question his own life.
That was when he spoke and asked. "Where is Rappa?"
Blood Shank was confused. "But sir, you said you wanted to see me, so I assumed that –" Unfortunately, the hooded man raised his hand as it starts to glow a black aura surrounding it. Then, on the ceiling beside Blood Shank's side, Rappa mysteriously appeared as he fell to the ground.
"Nevermind…"
"Hey! What gives, boss?! I thought you said you needed the masked freak!" Rappa argued like a child. "I don't wanna do your dirty work! I wanna fight! That's the whole reason why I'm here, right?!"
Suddenly, a Nomu wolf jumped out of the shadows, causing the two villains to panic and prepare to fight it. Unfortunately, the wolf was chained to the wall, allowing it to be at least two feet away from the villains as it attempted to get near and eat them alive.
The hooded man snapped his fingers, getting the Nomu wolf's attention as it hid back to the shadows. "In case you have enough, I would like to say this for a while." He started. "First off, our plan was going better as it was expected to be. But somehow…" he took a deep breath of dissatisfaction. "I'm not that surprised since I know this would happen."
"What would?"
"This." He gestured his hand to the monitors, which revealed to be a recorded video of every Nomu that has ever roamed around Japan, doing nothing but kill people and encounter with Pro Heroes and the KMA itself. Each video shows that each Nomu gets encountered by the KMA mostly, as they are killed off afterward and replaced with new footage featuring the same Nomus getting killed until it became a cycle of replaced footage.
"All these Nomus, dying left and right as always. The Nomu bombs were considered effective, but rendered useless since they only made the targets, which is mostly one of our kind, into simple Nomus." He snarled angrily. "The KMA itself is tearing one of them left and right all because they existed after they acknowledge its existence. And all I'm receiving is nothing but great disappointment." He coldly stated. "Like how All For One feels."
Rappa, not even paying attention, decided to interrupt his leader and asked. "Yeah, can we go?" Blood Shank nudged him, giving the stabber an annoyed look. "What the hell!"
"You're being disrespectful again!" he reminded. "This how you treated that Yakuza leader of a waste once, and you still never listen."
"Wanna go, ya freak?!" Rappa pulled the collar of Blood Shank with his hand, and his other arm was ready to punch him.
"I think that won't be necessary for now." The hooded leader interrupted their attempt. "You two will have a new task. And this time, you'll be working together."
"What?!"
"What will it be, sir?"
"Let's just say it's a message." He tossed a recorder to Blood Shank, who grabbed it quickly. "A message to the KMA that this will be the start of something that will change the lives of the future Hero Agents, once and for all." He smiled sinisterly at his plan.
TWO DAYS LATER…
PEW! PEW! PEW!
The former Symbol of Peace is watching the green-haired boy using his Quirk, by the bleachers in focused observation. Said green-haired boy is training how to use his Quirk by blasting air bolts via electrical sparks surrounding around his arms and hands, at the shooting targets in a large room for… well shooting.
Earlier, Izuku wanted to learn how to keep his aim straight since he mostly missed some training robots he wasn't able to shoot with his Quirk during the activity last time. So, in order for him to make sure to practice his good aim, he decided to use the shooting range for practice. However, All Might will be observing him in case if he causes some mild problems on his hands, and better see how he will progress.
Right now, Izuku doesn't have his weapons, called the Atmos Gauntlets, on his hands, nor his hero costume on. Instead, he was just wearing his typical PE uniform, since he doesn't want it to get sweaty, or smell sweaty to be exact.
The green-haired boy's shooting and aim have been good progress since he started. Izuku was able to shoot at least three targets in seconds. However, knowing how fast the targets react, he was also able to shoot them too while retaining his aim and focus. Also, it even looked like he's been using his Quirk for so long now, it didn't even cause him to get his hand swollen.
With only ten seconds to spare, Izuku quickly shoots the targets with ease as always. The green-haired boy noticed a single target located at the top right. Izuku knew that he didn't have much time, so he just raised his sparking arm once again, and wait to have enough charge to blast an air bolt. However…
"Ah!" Izuku said aloud as he somehow blasted the air bolt from his hand. But it missed the target and ended his last five seconds to waste. The boy grabbed his right hand as he saw how red it is, meaning that he's been overusing it.
All Might went to him and asked with concern. "Young Midoriya, are you alright? I saw you grabbed your right hand. Did you –"
"I-I'm fine, All Might." Izuku gave off a reassuring smile and explained. "I actually overdid it by just letting my Quirk activate. But I didn't mind the risks that I'm going to take. But that's okay, there's no pain if there's no gain, after all, right?"
"Yes. Yes, I can mostly agree." All Might smiled at the boy's words but resumed his concern. "But the seriously young man, you need to be careful with yourself. Overusing your Quirk might also harm you badly. Especially if it's your hands. I appreciate your determination, but being cautious is more important, you here?"
"Yes, All Might." He replied as he listened. "It looks like I need to get ready again for later."
"Actually, about that. I wanted to stop your training for a minute. I have a special task for you that will also be your first." Floyd intervened, and interrupted, their conversation as he appeared with a smile, "Head to the hangar bay in five minutes." told the green-haired boy, as he left, which also got the attention of Izuku.
Inside a traveling and active KMA Transport Carrier in Hosu City, Izuku and Floyd, both donning in their hero costumes, are both doing nothing but trying to pass the time since they'll wait for Kurodai to be finished. Izuku observed the Boston archer's bow, while was said Boston archer was checking his phone for anything to avoid his boredom but knows that he has to answer some questions that the green-haired boy has to offer.
"So, how is this any different than a regular bow?" Izuku asked.
"That bow can withstand the heat from the arrows that I generate, preventing the string to be pulled apart," Floyd explained. "Not to brag or anything, but I'm actually setting a score of 150 Nomus killed."
"I still can't believe that the KMA would make their Support Items so sleek and advanced-like," Izuku said handing back the bow to Floyd. "How come the Support Item companies never acknowledge these?"
"Those numbnuts did acknowledge all their tech. It's just that those companies weren't interested." Floyd pointed. "They rather stick to whatever it is they have to give to the heroes." He snorted. "I just hope they won't be getting a lot of complaints soon." Then, that snort became a small laugh, which he frowned slightly a bit. "I miss the rest." He mentioned Setsuna and the other two.
Izuku realized what he meant, then he frowned back. "Yeah. It's a shame that they transferred to Singapore for their new recruitment. Guess I know now why they joined that party after that activity." Then he turned to him with a question. "How come you didn't join with them?"
"My main base will always be in the Atom. Sure, it won't be the same with them, but I did make some friends, too." He smiled. "I bet you'll be interested to see them. And who knows, they might be in our class. Or we'll be a team with them."
Izuku gave off a small smile at his prediction. "I'm sure it'll be nice to meet them."
"Yeah, bet they'll like you." The Boston archer said. "Also, if there's one thing that you should be proud of, is that you'll be handling your first mission out in the base. Besides, from the training that you took for two days, I bet you'll do well on this."
Izuku nodded in agreement. "You're right." He said with a responding smile. He may have just trained for two days, but he knows in those two days that he can do it.
Kurodai, who is seated at the front, sat up from his seat and approached his three students. "Alright, listen up. I got some feedback from the Atom about our mission, so listen carefully." He started to explain as he showed them some photos on a tablet. "Basically, our mission will just be short and more of a search. You two will be looking for two Omega-Villains, along with a Nomu of theirs that was spotted in Hosu City." He said as he showed them a picture of two Omega-Villains, which are Blood Shank and Rappa.
The two boys listened carefully to the objective. This could be a perfect opportunity for Izuku to know how to deal with situations like this in the KMA.
"Reports say that they were spotted everywhere in the entire city of Hosu until they hid back in the abandoned cargo station. We could only guess that they surrendered or they were spotted immediately." Kurodai explained. "Right now, we have the opportunity to take them out since the Pro Heroes didn't arrive to deal with it. So, it's our job to take care of this mess ourselves. You two got that?"
"Roger that, sir," Floyd responded, except for Izuku with his hand raised as he wanted to ask a question.
"Yes, Midoriya?" Kurodai let him speak.
"Kurodai-san –
"It's the first commander, by the way. You will direct me as the first commander outside the base." Kurodai reminded.
"First Commander, how come the Heroes couldn't handle the situation? I mean, aren't they Pro Heroes to say the least?" it was the only question that Izuku could give. Floyd was surprised that his new classmate was going to answer something like this. Normally, in most militaries, questioning the mission is considered something that a soldier wouldn't do, but it does seem fair for a question like that to be answered.
Kurodai paused for a moment and answered. "Because we don't have a choice. Since this villain is a lot harder to deal with, then we might as well do their job for them. This is the reason why the KMA exists." The first commander explained. "I hope I answered your question, Midoriya. And this will be a perfect opportunity."
Izuku was about to retort or say something against it but decided not to. He would never know that an Omega-Villain would attack and the Heroes just give the situation to the KMA itself. But since they're dealing with both Nomus and Omega-Villains, this might be a perfect opportunity for him.
"Just to inform everyone that we're almost to our stop." The driver informed.
Kurodai stood up and looked back at his students. "We're here. Get your gear ready!"
The cargo station in Hosu City has been surrounded by the KMA itself. There weren't any Hero Agents except for an entire squadron of KMA soldiers, having their guns armed and their men being rightfully enough to search the entire cargo station. Then, the KMA transport had arrived, and it stopped. Then, the front door opened as Izuku, Floyd, and Kurodai both dropped and approached.
The green-haired boy observed the whole place, "I can't believe that a different KMA base arrived here? But why?"
"Well, technically, just in case if they already saw the situation first, but my guess is that they came around for backup," Floyd stated. "They just don't deal with it all by themselves."
Then, they both arrived and met the lieutenant of the squadron. Kurodai spoke to him, "Lieutenant, is this the place you told me about?"
"Yes, Commander Kurodai." The lieutenant responded, whose only known distinctive look is that there were two large guns behind his back. "We arrived as soon as the scanners detected they arrived here. However, when we arrived, there wasn't single damage around these cargo containers. Except for some evidence that led us nowhere."
"Where?" the first commander asked.
The big gun lieutenant pointed to the ground, as they looked at what seemed to be a larger, two-toed footprint left on the ground. They decided to check the entire cargo container and noticed that not even a single scratch has been seen. It was true after all. They were only with footprints as their clue.
"We did a rendezvous around the station. We got nothing by the scanners. Not even a second clue to begin with." The lieutenant said. "We've been doing it for almost an hour."
"Did you check again?" Kurodai asked.
"What part of no did I just say?" the lieutenant reported. "We've been doing it like it's a maze. We don't even have a clue to start with. But I did send some men around the cargo station to look for our target."
"AAAAHHHH!"
A loud shriek of pain was heard throughout the train station, causing them to get alerted by the sound.
The lieutenant grabbed his pager, "What was that? Was any of you hurt?"
"Negative, sir. But one of the troops must have seen the Omega-Villains. We're wondering if – Hey. Hey! Stay back! I'm warning – AH! AHHHH –" The communication was now cut off afterward, making the lieutenant worried.
"Izuku, Floyd, you know what to do," Kurodai informed.
"Yes, sir!" The two responded as they rushed their way around the cargo station.
The two boys rushed their way to the other side of the station, to find an injured KMA soldier, sitting on the ground with a wound on his leg, making it look like he was stabbed. Immediately, Izuku rushed his way to inspect the injured soldier.
"Are you alright?" What happened?" the green-haired boy asked, but the soldier didn't respond as he just groaned in pain. Izuku assisted him to stand up, "It's okay. We're going to get you back to the others so you can get treated." Unknown to him, the soldier was holding a knife.
Floyd saw this as he draw out his bow and launched an arrow, shooting his hand with it. The KMA soldier dropped the knife, and Izuku noticed his weapon on the ground. Immediately, he pushed him away as he aimed him with his Air Force being activated. However, the soldier somehow melted away into a flat tire.
"What?" the green-haired boy questioned, "Was he a soldier just then? How did this even happen?"
"I… I don't know." Floyd couldn't even give an answer. "But something doesn't seem right here." He readied an arrow, "Get ready!"
Suddenly, large footsteps were heard as a large and tall figure jumped off a cargo container, revealing no other than Kendo Rappa.
"Got you now, you Agent losers!" Rappa shouted, preparing to deliver an attack to the two boys. The two immediately spread out of the way, letting Rappa hit the ground instead. Immediately, Izuku and Floyd both aimed at the fighting maniac with their Quirks and weapons is set to fire when ready.
"We won't say it again: Get down on the ground, and don't make this harder than it looks!" Floyd ordered.
This caused Rappa to laugh at the Boston archer's and gave out his response. "You really are this stupid! My Strongarm can beat you to the ground in no time! We can take you both out in no time!"
"Wait? Did he say 'we'?" Izuku was then met by the masked stabber Blood Shank, who somehow jumped from the other cargo container on top and attempted to pounce at him. Izuku immediately backed away as he was faced with the stabber. "Another one?"
Rappa felt like he was ticked off so he started to make the first move by attacking Floyd, who sent him flying to a container behind as he was hit by it, too. As he got up to his feet, he noticed that the fighting maniac began to charge at him with his fists up and ready. The Boston archer quickly manifested three-light arrows with his Solar Arrows and fired one by one at his chest, causing them to explode as a flashbang would. While the fighting maniac is blinded, the Boston archer used this to his advantage by firing numerous light arrows at him, hoping to pin him down. However, Rappa gained his vision back as the flashbang's effects were now gone. The Boston archer stopped as he was being chased by Rappa at the other side of the cargo station.
Meanwhile, Blood Shank glanced at the flat tire lying on the ground, "So I see that you have met my clone. Tell me, do you like how my work was able to move on its own?" he asked nicely, but Izuku didn't buy it. "Also, it would be really shameful if Rappa kills your friend."
"I'm warning you. Stop whatever it is you're going to do next." Izuku warned.
"Okay. If you say so." Then, the stabber yelled as he charged at the green-haired boy with his knives to stab him with his fast agility.
Activating both his gloves and his Air Force, Izuku immediately, moved away once again to avoid his attacks. The stabber leaped from the air as he attempted to deliver a quick death for Izuku, however, the green-haired boy used Air Force to shoot an air bolt at him, causing him to break his fall and drop his knives. The stabber tried to grab them back but the green-haired boy shot them away. The stabber was now being aimed at by Izuku who also removed his helmet in order to catch some air.
"Tell me where you're hiding it," Izuku demanded.
"Tell you what?"
"The Nomu. It says that you and your partner hid a Nomu in the cargo containers. Where is it."
"Ah, yes. About that." His eyes shifted to a serious look. "You won't be getting an answer for that, boy." He wheezed his breath. "Besides… I do not think you will be able to save your friend with dirt blinding you."
The stabber grabbed a handful of dirt and throw it Izuku's eyes, causing him to get blinded when the dirt went through. Luckily, he was able to get rid of it quickly.
Then, he was met by Blood Shank, now armed with his knife back, as he was slashed on the shoulder, yelping in pain. The stabber attempted to stab him once again while he was in pain, but the green-haired boy quickly dodged it and grabbed his arm, which is now starting to struggle. Izuku then punched him on the face twice, grabbed him from behind, and throw him at a cargo container's steel wall, causing him to pass out after falling to the ground.
The green-haired felt exhausted, but can't rest now since he needs to take care of something else as he started to run. "Right. I have to save Floyd."
For the Boston archer, said Boston archer was busy dealing with Rappa as he starts to shoot more light arrows from his Quirk. He started to realize that he doesn't have enough energy left in his Quirk as they began to manifest out from his hands once at a time, unlike before. Using whatever's left, the Boston archer ziplined up to a cargo container, only for Rappa to use his Strongarm to knockout the container to let it fall, causing him to fell off of the container, and straight to the ground.
Floyd groaned in pain from the fall, as he tried to grab his bow, but his hand was stepped on by Rappa's foot, who didn't crush it and just lock him instead. "You got good skills for a trainee yourself, archer boy. But you running away and shooting me isn't a fair fight!" he angrily stated. "So, I'll just end you right here," he raised his arms on the air with his fists clenched. "right now."
Before he could end Floyd's life, Rappa was suddenly hit by an air bolt that hit his back. Flinching the pain, he turned to see Izuku, who arrived in time to save the Boston archer. The latter smiled at his arrival.
"Let him go!" the green-haired boy warned.
Rappa scoffed at his threat. He let go of his foot on Floyd's hand, and punched both his knuckles together, who is now ready to fight the Air Force user. "Don't make me laugh! You'll just get squashed in no time." he threatened.
Izuku made the first move as he shot another air bolt at him, then followed by continuous firing. The maniac fighter ignored the pain, despite gritting his teeth in both anger and annoyance, as he charged at him with his fist ready to beat him into a bloody pulp. However, the numerous air bolts that he's been receiving somehow started to slow him down which could only mean that he couldn't take it anymore.
Rappa said as he started to run so fast, as he threateningly said. "That's it! You're so gonna get it now, shrimp!" Izuku didn't care if he made him mad, all he could do is let him get to him closer by just shooting him with continuous air bolts.
SHIK!
Rappa yelled in pain, as he felt his shin had been stabbed through by a glowing arrow from Floyd, who used the last remaining energy to manifest his last arrow. The maniac fighter tried to move, but due to how painful it is, he can't. Izuku quickly air blasted himself to deliver a knockout punch at Rappa, knocking him out quickly to the ground.
Izuku rushed to the Boston archer and help him get up, "Thanks."
"No problem." He smiled as he let out a chuckle. "That's what friends are for, right?" Izuku smiled back as he agreed.
Floyd contacted Kurodai through his earpiece. "Kurodai-san, we got the two Omega-Villains defeated by ourselves. I repeat, two Omega-Villains down."
"What about the Nomu? Any sign of it?"
"Negative. We're still working on that."
"Alright, a detainment force from Sichern will be arriving to pick them up. In the meantime, go and interrogate the villains about the Nomu while you still can." Kurodai ordered.
"Copy that." Floyd ended the call. The two boys went to Rappa as the Boston archer shot a real arrow that turned into a net trap so he won't escape. "Listen up, pal. I really don't want to fight you, but I got some questions to ask: Where is your Nomu?" he pulled back a light arrow, as a sign of warning.
"You really wanted it so bad?" he chuckled a bit. "Fine. You can have him." He grabbed a pen-like device in his pocket as he pressed the button.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The sound of metal punching has been around the area where Izuku and Floyd are. They readied themselves for the next they will be facing. However, they just keep on hearing the same sound over and over again throughout the entire container, followed by an intimidating growl that almost the two friends uneasy.
"Do you think it could be the Nomu we're looking for?" Izuku asked, he checked around to see where it might appear.
"I'm… not really sure. But we need to be ready if it comes. We just have to –" he was interrupted by the sound again, as he focused around his surroundings.
The next thing that happened is that the doors of a red cargo container created a large bump that shaped into a fist. Then, afterward, a fist went through the cargo container. Said fist grabbed the side and another grabbed the other as they both tore the container open like a can. Then, once the hole is made, an eight-foot-tall, bulky Nomu jumped out of the container as it roared out in the open.
Izuku was and looked scared to death to see a Nomu out in the open once again in public. One thing he knows for sure is that he doesn't know how to kill a Nomu yet. All he does is train how to use his Quirk, and learn how to fight.
Floyd quickly reported. "We got a level-4 Nomu at the east side of the cargo station! I repeat, level 4 Nomu out in the open – I need reinforcements here now!"
"Copy that! We're heading our way! Over." A soldier responded as the entire squadron around the station began to rush their way to their location.
Meanwhile, the Nomu's eyes began to look at everything after it escaped from the cargo container. Everything to it looked and felt more real, despite that it was roaming around until it hid at the cargo containers. The Nomu looked at its attention to Izuku and Floyd as it roared and began to charge at them.
While Izuku just stood on his ground, he was suddenly pushed by Floyd. "Get back!" he yelled as the Nomu missed after charging at them. Floyd quickly grabbed the captured Rappa and ziplined both himself and Midoriya out of the way.
Then, the Nomu's attention was directed by the KMA soldiers, who they aimed their armed weapons at the Nomu, both assault rifles, as they wait for their cue to –
"Open fire!"
With those words being said, the squadron began firing their weapons at the bulky Nomu. Unlike all the Nomus that existed on land, this bulky Nomu's didn't even felt a bullet go through its body, making it look like the skin is made out of leather or something a lot thicker. Enraged by the sudden attack, the bulky Nomu pounded the fist, and started to attack the soldiers one by one and splatting them like insects.
"Move back! Move back!" the soldier ordered as the others still kept firing, but despite it all, they still all got killed one by one, and only leaving a very few of them as they ran away to avoid it.
Meanwhile, Izuku and Floyd landed a place that's far away from the Nomu. As they were lucky to avoid the Nomu's rampaging attack to catch their breath, they both noticed a laughing Rappa.
"What's so funny? Where you the one who called its attention?" Izuku asked.
"Well, yeah! From your faces, you losers couldn't even deal with a Nomu and just went away!" he mocked. "And yeah, I called its attention. So what? At least your little KNA or whatever it's called can just –" he was cut off when Floyd jammed a taser on his neck, causing him to pass out.
"That'll shut him up for a while." He muttered, hating to hear him talk. Then, he directed his attention to Izuku. "Hey, you alright?"
"No. No! I'm not alright!" Izuku yelled in panic. "We saw a Nomu escaped and let it attack the other soldiers! How are we going to stop that thing?! No. We need to stop that thing!"
"But you never dealt with a Nomu before, or even fought one in that matter." Floyd pointed out.
This made Izuku feel like a bullet of realization hit him. "You're right… I don't even know how to deal with one." He admitted sadly. "But we still can't sit here and do nothing. We need a plan to stop it."
At first, Floyd wanted to argue back to the green-haired boy about what he just learned and had forgotten already. However, knowing that there is a level-4 Nomu causing some rampage throughout the entire station, they need to deal with it regardless since they are Hero Agents trained to fight those threats similar to the one now, and Rappa.
Floyd then got an idea. "Okay. I think I got an idea that might work. But first, do you still remember your training and the one back at the activity?"
"Yeah, I do." He responded. "But what does this have to do with stopping that Nomu?" he asked.
"Trust me, I think we need your training, and my experience to put in one bowl to stop that thing," Floyd answered.
"Wait, so you're telling me that I need to use my training to stop that Nomu?" Izuku asked again, to which Floyd nodded as an approved answer.
The green-haired boy looked baffled at his Boston friend. "How did you and the rest still manage to survive all this."
The Boston archer let out a smirk, "Let's just say that we have experience."
Back to the bulky Nomu, it began to roam around the station to look for more targets. However, for its lucky day, the Nomu spotted a KMA soldier on the ground, who tried to fire his rifle, but realized that it was out of bullets. The Nomu approached the soldier as the latter panicky reloaded his rifle, but can't do so due to his hands being shaky. Then, its hand reached to the soldier, who started to scream for help.
SHIKSHIK!
That was, when two glowing arrows somehow pierced through the leather-like skin of the bulky Nomu's hand. The Nomu directed its attention to its new attacker, revealing no other than Izuku with his Quirk activated. Then, afterward, two arrows were launched by Floyd as it created a flashbang that blinded the Nomu.
"You need to go! We can handle this!" Izuku told the soldier, who listened as he ran away. The Nomu let out a roar as it was being blinded and encountered the two friends. The Boston archer launched two zipline Quirks as they pierce both sides of the cargo containers and created a long thread that became connected to the grip of the bow. However, when the thread itself is connected, it also made the bow entirely glow for no reason.
The Nomu somehow regain its vision as it roared in anger, and directed its attention to both Izuku. The green-haired felt like he wanted to run away, but again, this is what he needed, he needed to learn how to deal with a Nomu for the first time in his life.
"Floyd, do you think this idea of yours will work?!" Izuku asked in a frightened tone. "We already got its attention, and I don't think it'll work out well!" the Nomu snarled as a way of greeting.
"Trust me, it will! I've seen some Pro Heroes done it before!" he answered with full determination. "On my signal, you jump right ahead!" he gripped his bow tightly.
Suddenly, the Nomu prepared itself to attack the Air Force user as it made its move to attack him. Izuku felt a shock in his body that was telling him to move already, or he'll die like an idiot, but has to follow the plan accordingly.
"On the count of one…" the archer started. "One…"
"One!"
The Nomu started to charge and Izuku used his Air Force to air jump out of the way. In a split second and knowing that the queue was already there, Floyd immediately jumped down and pulled back his bow by yanking it, causing the two containers to crush the Nomu in an instant.
Izuku, who just landed far from the crushed containers, sighed in relief, as he saw the plan from start to end, and it ended well perfectly. Meanwhile, Floyd couldn't hold on to his bow as his weapon started to stop glowing, causing him to let it go instead, making the bow stop from glowing as it pushed the containers away and said bow landing on the ground.
Floyd walked to his side, grabbing his bow fast, and asked, "Did we get him?"
"I… I think so." Izuku replied, not aware if the plan do well. "I think we should check it." Floyd nodded in agreement. The two friends walked on top of the bulky Nomu's body, covered by the steel surrounding its body. They watched as the Nomu didn't die from getting crushed, but instead, it breathed a little, with blue blood coming out of its body and mouth.
"Jesus! That thing's still alive!" Floyd was shocked to see the outcome, which didn't do well at some point. "Guess the steel from the containers didn't do much."
"Do we… Do we kill it? Again?" Izuku asked, still not aware of dealing with Nomu.
"Yes – I mean, yeah. Yeah, we do." Floyd answered with a bow and arrow ready. "This is what the KMA's also doing aside hunting Omega-Villains."
Izuku raised his arms and aimed his gloves and pointed the Nomu with open hands, readying his Air Force with a charge to blast an air bolt with. The Nomu was not aware of its appointed death as it started to have a blurry vision. However, when the bulky Nomu's eyes were directed to Izuku. It suddenly growled. But that growl was… different.
"Should we say something like a final saying or a goodbye?" Izuku asked.
"These monsters roam around the world, and you want a goodbye speech?" the Boston archer pulled the string of his bow harder. "Killing it is a sign of goodbye." He coldly said to the Nomu.
The Nomu roared at the two, despite suffering heavy injuries. Then, it raised its arm to remove it from the rubble it is in. This caused the two friends to stop lowering their weapons and leave immediately.
"Go, go, go!" the Boston archer yelled out, and Izuku followed. The Nomu started to break free from its imprisonment, as it roared in anticipation and anger. Suddenly, the Nomu grabbed Izuku by snatching him like he's some piece of paper. Floyd turned around to see what happened and only yelled out.
"Izuku!"
The bulky Nomu yelled back at Floyd when he tried to save him. Then, once the Nomu has a human on their hands, they immediately ran away from the cargo station. The Boston archer was left with a pale and shocked look, as he watched his green-haired friend getting captured.
And that concludes this chapter. What do you think will happen to Izuku? Will his second encounter with a Nomu will be successful? Find out in the next chapter.
And about the new background image/poster for this story? Well, I thought I get something that really fits the main character of the story, but with more emotion, but since this is more like an origin story, then this is a lot different than that. If he is reading it somehow, I would like to thank RenElDiablo for letting me use his fanart for the background image. You should all check out his fan arts, they're like actual posters for every MHA character, and it looks cool!
And I also made a poll for this story in general. I won't say what is it about, but it'll be best if you just vote so that it can be settled for the upcoming chapters. Anyway, please leave a review and I'll see you in the next chapter.
