MHA: Draigon
I… f**k. I've got nothing to say, I'm sorry. Let's just get on with the fic…
He was sinking…
It felt like he'd been dropped in a vat of tar and had been swallowed up whole by it. He couldn't move, and all he could see was himself and the darkness around him. He couldn't breathe, but he didn't feel like he was running out of air.
Was this… was this what death was like? D**m it, he didn't want to die. There were things he needed to do.
Wait.
What was he doing again? And for that matter… who was he?
"NECHAN!" Cried Izuku.
Katsuki was frozen for a second before letting out a roar of rage and leaping at Nomu. "Die you monster!" He roared as he swung an UPenn hand at the monster, who simply batted him away in response.
"Young Bakugou!" Shouted All Might.
"Now that they're out of the way, how about we deal with the real threat." Said Shigaraki. "Nomu. Get him." The villain then charged at All Might. Suddenly the villain was in front of All Might, it reared back and slammed it's fist into the pro, sending him into a wall.
"All Might!" Shouted Kirishima.
"And now for the children." Said Shigaraki.
Nomu turned and swung at the three students who were still around Kurogiri. There was a swift blur, suddenly the three were away from the villains, as the sound of another impact was heard, they saw All Might go rolling across the ground.
"You didn't hold back? Even though they're children?" Asked All Might.
"Not like I had much choice, they were threatening my companion. Besides they're hardly angels themselves. The green one? He tried to kill me with a maxed out punch, so stop acting like your better than us, because when you do, it really makes me mad." Said Shigaraki. All while this was happening Izuku was staring at the ground. Nemo, one of his closest friends from as far back as he could remember, was dead. He died trying to be a hero, and there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. DefenselessIzuku. The title truly did fit him.
He continued to sink further. The more he sank, the more he tried to remember. Who was he? What was he trying to do?
"Nechan!"
Wait? Who said that?
"Fish."
Another voice?
"Young Nemo."
What's going on? Who are all of you?
There was no response. Not from any of them anyway.
Everything was quiet for a while. Then a new voice spoke.
"Wow. You didn't last nearly as long as we thought you would." Came a voice.
Who was that.
"Honestly it's kinda pathetic, are you really gonna let something as stupid as dying hold you back? When you know that there are those who can fight without ever needing to worry about death, and you can become just like them? But you do you. Just give up. Let your friends be killed by villains. Not my problem." Said the voice.
His eyes widened. He remembered. He was Nemo Draigon. He was someone who was going to become a hero who would surpass All Might! He can't give up.
He clenched his fists and forced himself into what he was pretty sure was an upright position. After doing so, he saw something for the first time in this world of darkness. It was a giant golden cube. Like, really giant, the size of the USJ giant. And it was just floating in front of him, slowly spinning in circles.
Nemo swallowed the pain in his throat before smirking. "Give up? Please. Let me tell you something: My Quirk," Said Nemo as he reared an arm back before flying towards the cube, "IS NEVER GIVING UP!" His hand came into contact with the cube and everything vanished into white.
The four heroes in training along with All Might stared at the three villains in front of them. "Nomu, Kurogiri, Jill them, I'll deal with the children." Said Shigaraki.
The five of them got ready to fight, the Shigaraki came running. "Get ready, looks like we're fighting after all." Said Kirishima.
Suddenly they heard a loud shout and a crash as all of the fallen trees where Nemo had died were suddenly sent flying away in a loud explosion of flames. Everyone stopped in place and turned to see Nemo standing in the middle of where the explosion had taken place. Not only that. But he had both of his arms, although the skin on his left arm was noticeably paper than the skin on the right. There were also weird black particles floating around him but nobody could see them because they were too far away.
"What the? How are you still alive!? We watched Nomu kill you!" Shouted Shigaraki angrily.
"Nechan?" Asked Izuku in quiet shock.
"You wanna know, why I'm still alive?" Asked Nemo as he clenched his fist, causing flames to appear around his hands. The flames then traveled up his arms and his hair began to stand up from all the magic power rushing through him. "For my friends, to protect them. That's why I'm still alive! That's why I'm going to become a hero! And that's why, I'm gonna stop you!" Then flames enveloped his whole body as he let out a shout and charged.
Nomu rushes forward to meet him with a raised fist and the two clashed, the force of their attacks creating and explosion of wind and fire. They both reared back and punched again and again, both of their fists colliding every time, and they were going so fast that their arms practically vanished. The students, hero, and villains had to cover their faces to protect themselves from the shockwaves of the fight.
All of Nemo's classmates stared in shock at what was happening. Even the ones at the entrance could see the fight. "Is that, Nemo?" Asked Mina.
"I think so." Said Uraraka.
Suddenly Nemo reared back and slammed an uppercut into Nomu's jaw, sending it up into the air, then Nemo leaped after it, he slammed another punch, before his opponent turned and punched him in return, sending Nemo careening into the ground, creating an explosion of fire and smoke upon impact that made it so no one could see him.
"Heh, guess he was all talk and no might." Joked Shigaraki as Nomu landed next to him. Suddenly they saw the shadow of Nemo get up. Izuku looked at the smoke, then his eyes widened in shock.
The smoke around Nemo cleared, his right side looked normal, but the left half of his body was covered in bright red scales and he had a horn protruding from the right side of his head, as well as a large red left wing. "What the… what the h**l are you!?" Demanded Shigaraki.
Nemo didn't respond, instead he let out a roar. No one had time to blink. Suddenly Nemo was in front of the Nomu as he slammed a fist into the underside of the monster's jaw/beak, sending it flying into the air. Nemo then growled as he flew after it. When he reached it he sent a flurry of blows faster than the eye could see into the monster. Then he was suddenly above it. He put both of his fists together and slammed down. Sending Nomu to the ground creating a crater.
Everyone stared in shock at what had just happened. Then Izuku gasped as Nemo landed on the ground and kicked Nomu into the air so that it was directly above him. Then a circle of golden flames appeared around Nemo. "This. Ends. Now!" Roared Nemo. "Dragon Slayer Secret Arts: Hidden Fire Form! Flame Lotus Phoenix Sword!" He then surrounded himself in golden fire and flew straight into Nomu's midsection. The force of the attack smashed Nomu straight through the roof and sent it flying into the distance.
What's happening!? Everything's shaking!" Exclaimed Tokoyami. Both Nemo's stared at the direction of the sound. "Woah." Said one.
Ojiro smacked another villain away. "What was that?" He asked.
"The original." Said one of the clones.
Nemo then landed in front of the others, panting from exhaustion.
"He… that brat! He cheated!" Said Shigaraki angrily. Nemo turned and glared at the villains. He then started walking towards them.
"Tomura Shigaraki. We must go, we cannot defeat them without Nomu." Said Kurogiri.
Shigaraki growled. "Get us out of here." Nemo leapt at the villains, but not before Kurogiri used his Quirk to warp them away. But as they were leaving, Shigaraki looked directly at All Might. "I may have failed to kill you today, but your days are numbered!" Nemo's fist embedded itself in the ground where they'd been. Then he growled and pulled his hand free. He turned and looked. at where his allies stood. He started walking to them.
"Young Nemo?" Asked All Might. He had to admit, Nemo looked scary right now. There was a menacing glare on his face and the scales definitely didn't make him any less intimidating.
"Nechan?" Asked Izuku.
"Fish?" Asked Katsuki.
He stopped in front of his two best friends. He had the glare on his face for a moment, then he smiled at the two of them. He then began to sway for a moment before falling forward and getting caught by his friends. "Glad you guys are ok." Said Nemo as the scales, horn, and wing all disappeared back into his body. After he said that, he fell unconscious.
"That was incredible, be must've punched the shock absorption right out of that guy." Said Eijirou.
"He must've punched and burnt the villain so much that it couldn't regenerate fast enough." Said Todoroki.
The girls were doing their best to protect Kaminari while both Nemo clones fought the remaining villain. Suddenly there was the sound of gunfire and one of the villains fell. "What was that!?" Exclaimed Momo.
"The cavalry's here." Said one of the clones as he turned to where the bullet came from.
"Tenya's back, and he brought the teachers." Said the other one.
"I don't think we're needed, so we're gonna go." Said the first, with that, the pair of clones vanished in a puff of smoke.
Nemo woke with a start. It was late afternoon and the sum was going down. He looked around and saw Izuku and Toshinori talking next to him. "I'll be lucky if I can hold the form for an hour." Said Toshinori.
"I'm so sorry." Said Izuku.
"Well there's no use worrying, these things happen." Said Toshinori.
"He's right y'know." Said Nemo.
The guys gasped and looked at Nemo when they saw that he was awake. "Nechan!" Exclaimed Deku.
"Young Nemo." Said Toshinori. "How're you feeling?"
"I feel…" Nemo said, then paused realizing that, "I feel fine actually, a little bruised from when that Nomu guy punched me, but other than that, I feel fine."
"That's great!" Said Izuku. Nemo chuckled and gave him a grin.
"Excuse me." Said a man as he walked through the door. Then he looked over to the three in bed. "Hi All Might. It's been a while."
"What the h**l!? I didn't know you were investing." Exclaimed All Might while spitting some blood in the process.
"Woah All Might! He's ok seeing you like this!?" Asked Midoriya.
"Don't worry Izuku, this is Naomasa Tsukauchi, his best friend in the police force, All Might trusts him." Said Nemo. He blinked in surprise when everyone turned and stared at him in shock. "What?" Asked Nemo.
"How did you know that?" Asked Toshinori worriedly.
Nemo blinked for a moment. Then the realization of what he said struck him. Suddenly he was crouched in a corner not facing any of them as he started mumbling to himself. "What the f**k, what the f**k, how did I know that? What's wrong with me?" He Muttered. Then a memory of the USJ came to him. Well, more specifically, the memory of one of his clones, the one who copied the poison dragon slayer. "Of course, when he copied him, he got his soul magic too, and when the clone vanished, he must've brought the acquired powers with him." Thought Nemo. He sighed before standing up and looking at the others.
"Thanks for the introduction kid, sorry to cut to the chase All Might, but we could really use any information that you have." Said Naomasa.
"Oh no, before all that, tell me all the students are ok." Said Toshinori. "And Aizawa- Er- Eraserhead, and Thirteen."
"Not counting those two, the only student injuries were simple scrapes." Replied Naomasa. "And both teachers are in stable condition, relax."
All three of them breathed sighs of relief at that."That's good to hear." Said Toshinori.
"If you heroes hadn't risked your lives, the students would have never made it, you three saved that entire class of kids today." Said Naomasa.
"I can't take all the credit, it was Young Nemo who vanquished the Nomu as he was called by the villains." Said Toshinori. "And besides that, all of those students risked their lives, they fought as hard as us."
"Thank you All Might." Said Deku as he looked at his teacher.
"I don't think there's ever been a group of first years who experienced a fight like this so early in their training. They not only survived, they learned what it means to be a pro, this villains made a mistake attacking them." Said Toshinori. "This class is strong, they're filled with courage and drive, mark my words, they'll become great heroes." Nemo walked over to Izuku and looked at each other. They said nothing, but instead they smiled at each other and extended their arms toward each other, their fists meeting in the middle. Then they looked at Toshinori, who gave them a thumbs up. They nodded at him. They knew that they'd won the first battle. But the war was far from over.
End of Part One
And with that the first part of this story has come to an end. Up next it'll be time for the sports festival. Here's an idea, if you can guess who Nemo's have to fight in the tournament or who'll be on his team in the Cavalry battle (if you can guess even one person from either category, it'll count) I'll give a shout out to you the respective chapters to which those events happen. That aside, I need to her, so until next time fic fans, Nemon0416 is outta here! (Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!)
