"I HAD A BAD FEELING, SO I TORE MYSELF AWAY FROM MY CHAT WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND CAME HERE. I PASSED BY YOUNG IIDA ON MY WAY HERE AND GOT A ROUGH IDEA ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON." All Might snarled.
"IT MAKES ME SICK TO SEE VILLAINS LIKE YOURSELVES ATTACK CHILDREN. MY JUNIORS HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD. IT MUST BE TERRIFYING FOR THEM. BUT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. YOU LOVE IT. YOU RELISH IT. YOU FEED ON IT." he accused.
"You're one to talk, All Might!" Shigaraki shouted. "One of your students is literally gorging himself on our backup!" All Might tuned and saw the feral looking Izuku looking right at him. His eyes were cold and glowing red. And it wasn't just any red. It was the same color of red that man's lightning was. His claws were stained with blood. His tendrils were out, waving in the air. And he was growling lowly, like a predator waiting to pounce. It chilled his blood.
"Apex!" the boy shouted. 'Apex?' he thought to himself. And then the boy leapt. It was, by far, a much longer jump then he had been capable of yesterday. "Why are you here!?" the boy demanded, pointing a claw at him. "Young Midoriya?" he asked, somewhat startled. The boy cocked his head. "You were worried?" he asked, his voice filled with innocence. It really was a stark opposite to that man, or his heir's current appearance. "You need a jolt."
All Might saw a line connecting something to Izuku's back and looked down and paled. One of the tendrils had buried itself within his foot, and something was traveling along it! Before he could rip it out the blob made it there, and then came the pain. It was about half as bad as getting punched by All For One, and it was in the same area. He hunched over in pain… and then it left. There was nothing that came back, and the tendril retracted. "Better?" his feral successor asked. All Might realized that he could breathe easier! "WHAT WAS THAT?!" he asked of his heir. "Boost. You can last longer by… about… 15 minutes?" he said, cocking his head. Fortunately, no one could hear them.
By now, Shigaraki was tapping his foot with impatience. "Are you two done yet?!" he screamed. All Might then proceeded to answer that by punching him in the face, knocking the hand off of it. "F-Father…" he mumbled, hastily attaching it to his face. 'He was to fast for my eyes, but not as fast as Sensei said he was. He's getting weaker!' He let out a creepy chuckle.
"MIDORIYA! YOU MUST LEAVE!" All Might shouted. The feral teen shook his head. "Sorry Apex. I will help you. Biggest prey is very tough. You may need assistance." He pointed at the Nomu. All Might rushed it. "CAROLINA…"
"Nomu" Shigaraki calmly stated. "SMASH!" All Might landed the hit, but there was no injury. "See?" His apprentice asked. "His shock absorption allows him to be resistant to your attacks. We also gave him regeneration!" Shigaraki cackled.
"THANKS FOR THE TIP!" All Might shouted as he dodged. Izuku, meanwhile, retracted his claws and his entire right arm shifted into a colossal blade. "Heavy." was all he said, before bringing it down. It cut the Nomu's arm off, but it simply reattached it, increasing the regenerative time. Izuku, meanwhile, was thrown off balance and then kicked away and into a wall. "Not a good idea." he mumbled, blade returning to claws as he sprinted back towards the fight. All Might, meanwhile, grabbed Nomu from behind. "Your size makes this easier!" he grunted, suplexing it to the ground. The force created a massive explosion.
Meanwhile, Tsuyu managed to pull Mineta out of the wall, and he had now regained consciousness. "How did he make a suplex look like an explosion!? He's on another level!" the purple teen shouted. "And yet he can't teach without looking at his notes all the time." she responded. She noticed Mineta's hands beginning to drift so she knocked him out again with a rouge slap to the back of the neck.
"H-HOW IS THIS…" All Might muttered. The Nomu hadn't even been hurt. "You thought that Nomu wouldn't be able to move after that?" Shigaraki asked. It's fingers dug into All Might's side, drawing blood. 'Of all the places to be grabbed, it had to be my weak spot!' "You see, Nomu is as strong as you are." he chuckled. Kurogiri then warped part of the Nomu away, therefore keeping it out of reach. "Restraining you was Nomu's job." He then began to lower All Might into the warp gate. "And then I'll close the portal, tearing you in half! That was my job!" he chuckled.
And then a massive explosion hit him, staggering him. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM OUR TEACHER!" Bakugou shouted. And then ice froze over the Nomu. 'Young Todoroki?' All Might thought. "I heard you were here to kill All Might." he emotionlessly stated. 'He stopped the ice before it reached me!' All Might thought. He then started to pry at Nomu's hand. 'His grip weakened!' And All Might managed to rip himself out of Nomu's grip and landed next to Todoroki. And then Izuku landed, creating a crater.
"Frozen Heat. Kacchan." he said. Bakugou turned and hastily took about ten steps back. "Thanks." He turned towards the Nomu. Bakugou then leapt at Kurigori and pinned him. "It's just like I thought. Only parts of you can turn into mist. You covered your body with it!" Kurogiri tried to get up, but Katsuki let out a few explosions. "Don't even think about it!" he grinned. "If you try to move, then I'll blow you up!"
"So in addition to capturing him, you're almost uninjured. Truly the newest generation is amazing." Toruma stated. "Nomu" He ordered. Nomu then moved through the portal, losing his arm and leg in the process. He grew them back soon. "EVERYONE! STAY BACK!" All Might shouted. Izuku shook his head. "I told you I'd help you Apex."
"First we need our way out. Nomu." And then the beast leapt at Bakugou. 'H-he's fast!" All Might thought. The punch from Nomu created a shockwave. When the dust cleared, Bakugou was right next to Todoroki. "I didn't even see what was going on…" Katsuki said to himself. All Might then stepped out of some smoke. "DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO HOLD BACK?!" he shouted. "I was saving my companion. I had no choice." Shigaraki responded. Izuku, meanwhile, leapt at Nomu, ripping another arm off and consumed it. "Apex! You ok?" he asked. "I-I'm fine Midoriya." he muttered. 'I have 16 minutes left, if what Izuku really did what he said he did. I'll have to make this count.' And then he rushed at Nomu. The punches collided, sending a shock wave that blew everyone back, Izuku included.
"A head-on fistfight!?" Kirishima, who had just arrived, asked in shock. "I-I can't get close!" Kurogiri shouted. Meanwhile, Izuku had joined in, ripping at Nomu's back. "HIS ABILITY IS SHOCK ABSORPTION, NOT NULLIFICATION! THERE HAS TO BE A LIMIT!" He shouted. Izuku paused and then started punching the beast as well, claws gone. He grabbed the arm that would've hit All Might in his already wounded spot and tore it off again, devouring it. "YOU WERE MADE TO FIGHT ME AT 100%, SO I'LL HAVE TO BEYOND THAT!" All Might shouted. Izuku, meanwhile, had leapt from his area of attack and landed in front of the other students. He used his tendrils to grab onto them, causing Todoroki to emit a gasp of surprise. Kirishima shrieked in fear before passing out. Bakugou, however, whimpered. "P-please don't eat us…" he begged. Izuku flinched at that. "Why would I? You're friends." The explosive boy let out a sigh of relief, only to take a massive gulp of air as Izuku jumped into the air and landed with a loud THUD at the entrance, where he dropped them off. "You are safer here." he said, leaping back towards the area of the fight.
A massive punch sent Nomu flying back several dozen yards. "A HERO…" All Might began, leaping after it "WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY FOR JUSTICE TO TRIUMPH!" he finished, dodging a retaliatory punch before slamming the thing into the ground by means of a powerful stomp. He then proceeded to leap in the air while spinning it around before throwing it to the ground, creating a massive crater. "HEY VILLAIN, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THESE WORDS? GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!" with that, he released a truly massive punch from underneath it. The Nomu was launched into the air. It broke through the walls, leaving a massive hole. It then parted the clouds as it went by. "W-Was that a villian?!" one of the students asked. "All Might punched it through the wall!" another shouted. "I-Is that the level of a pro? Katsuki asked himself, staring in awe. "He's the coolest!" Mineta shouted, eyes gushing. He had apparently woken up again.
"I REALLY HAVE GOTTEN WEAKER." All Might said to himself. Fortunately, the only one around to hear was Izuku. "IN MY PRIME, SUCH AN ACT WOULD'VE ONLY TAKEN FIVE PUNCHES. THAT TOOK OVER THREE HUNDRED!" Izuku chuckled. "You are still strong Apex!" he shouted. All Might then thought that he was out of time, only to not feel the fatigue. 'So Young Midoriya did add to my time limit… amazing!' he thought to himself, before turning towards the last two villians. "NOW THEN," he began. Shigaraki was shaking in rage. "SHALL WE GET THIS OVER WITH?" All Might asked. "Y-you used a cheat code!" Shigaraki shouted. "Y-you had a summoned boss mob on your side!" All Might turned towards Izuku, only to see a dust cloud. He was headed towards the mountain zone.
"Allright put your hands up!" A villian shouted towards Momo and Jiro atop the mountain zone. He had Kanimari hostage. He was trying to electrocute the guy but it wasn't working! "I'd hate to kill an electric-type Quirk wielder like myself but if that's what it takes to live I'll do it!"
"Was this the guy Todoroki was talking about?" Jiro asked. "The one who might be blocking communications?" Momo asked to the other student. "And don't try your plugin thing!" he shouted, pointing at Jiro. Now she was looking up, her face covered in sheer horror. She closed her eyes and whimpered. "Oh, what's wrong? Don't want to watch your friend die?"
"Nope. It's just that I'd rather not see what's about to happen to you." She whispered, covering her ears. "Huh? What do you me- AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" The last part was because four very familiar tendrils had punched through him, turning him into goo. "Do. Not. Touch. Them." Izuku growled, feral eyes roaming around. He paused to sniff the air. "Now safe." he then leapt away.
All Might noticed his protegee return. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he asked. "Danger. Had to stop it." was all he said. All Might turned back to the villains. "W-what was that?! You're not any weaker at all!" Shigaraki shouted. By now All Might was beginning to think that he was something of a manchild. "NOW THEN, ARE YOU NOT COMING OVER HERE? WERE YOU NOT HERE TO TAKE MY LIFE? WELL, AS THE AMERICANS SAY; MOLON LABE!" he growled. "All Might…" Bakugou said aloud. "As I expected, there was no reason for us to get involved." Todoroki said.
Meanwhile, All Might was mentally thinking Izuku again. 'If it wasn't for his… healing ability… I would've been out of time! I still have about 13 minutes left!' "WELL?! MAKE UP YOUR MIND!" he shouted. Shigaraki flinched. And then he started scratching. "Damn it… if only Nomu was here… he'd take you on!"
"Shigaraki Tomura! Calm yourself!" Kurogiri scolded. "Look, he's definitely weakened from Nomu's attacks. Besides, the children are frozen in fear! Our underlings may be diminished in number, but they are still usable. If we work together we still have a chance at killing him."
"And what about his own boss mob?!" The manchild shouted. "Ignore it." With that, Shigaraki rushed at All Might, hand outstretched. Unfortunately for him, a bullet went through it.
"SO, THEY'RE HERE." All Might said to himself. They looked up and saw the Western Hero Snipe standing there, revolver out. "Sorry we're late everyone!" Principal Nezu shouted. "I gathered the heroes who were immediately available!" 'Why does it feel like I'm a rabbit surrounded by hungry wolves?' he thought to himself, straining to keep his instinct to hide away.
"I-Iida!" Uraraka shouted. "I, Iida Tenya, the Class Representative of Class 1-A, have returned!" he shouted. Most of the teachers were there as well. The surviving villains began to attack. Present Mic tched, and then screamed. His Quirk amplified it and caused the villains to be blown back or just fall unconscious. While they were stunned, Ectoplasm created copies of himself. "Split up and protect the students!" Nezu shouted. The teachers did so. "Where's Aizawa?" he asked.
"Right here!" And then he came out, fully healed and a death glare glued to his face. 'H-he isn't blinking!' Nezu thought to himself. "Aizawa! What's going on?!" He demanded. "I was nearly killed, but Midoriya's Quirk proved to be much more… versatile… than we thought. He then used his Quirk on a villian." 'I can still use my Quirk under this moisturising… thing. That's… very good.'
"Aww man, the pros are here." Shigaraki moaned. "It's officially game over. Shall we leave, Kurogiri-" and then he was shot in the leg by Snipe, but Kurogiri stopped the other shots. "Is there anyone who can do long-range capture right now besides Aizawa?" Snipe asked, as Aizawa was busy at the moment. "I can!" 13 shouted. She was now up and used the full power of her Quirk that she dared to use. She was pulling Kurogiri ever close to them. "You may have won today, All Might. However, I will kill you next time!" Shigaraki screeched to him before both he and Kurogiri disappeared.
LEAGUE OF VILLAIN BASE
Shigaraki stumbled into the room. "So, how did it go?" Sensei asked from his monitor. "H-horrible… Sensei. The green haired kid… you were right to warn me. H-he ate people and was able to stand against Nomu! I would've died if I fought him!" Sensei chuckled. For a moment, Tormura thought he heard "as expected", but he soon decided he didn't and forgot about it. "Then you should keep your distance from them both." All For One instructed. "Yes Sensei!" he shouted.
Hisashi turned off the monitor before leaning back. 'It seems your Quirk is growing in power, my son. I hope you're alright there.' He then realised that Inko would've seen it on the news. 'DAMN!' he thought to himself. While he did wish to delay the attack he knew that Shigaraki would've thrown a temper tantrum and may have just gone after All Might himself. He was just happy that his son was all right. 'And he probably consumed many of the lesser villains as well.' he chuckled at the thought. "It was a good thing I picked the small fry with the worst rap sheets." he muttered to himself. "But if Inko finds out I'm as good as dead!"
"Apex? You all right?" Izuku asked of his mentor. "Yes, Izuku, I am." he muttered, slightly exhausted. "Good. I am sleepy. Night night." and with that Izuku fell unconscious. All Might managed to catch him. 'You were amazing. Truely, you'll be a great hero Izuku Midoriya!' he thought to himself, picking up the boy. His tendrils had retracted and he was sleeping peacefully.
"Damn." Snipe muttered. "I can't believe we let them get away after trespassing." Midnight said. "Well, they did catch us off guard." Nezu replied, having been put down by Vlad. "However, we must make sure the students are safe! That is what matters!"
Farther away, Todoroki decided to speak his mind. "Seeing that most of the teachers are here, I'd assume this was the only area targeted." Bakugou nodded. All Might was then seen with Izuku slung over his back. "YOUNG MIDORIYA IS OK! HE'S JUST TIRED!" he shouted. There was no response from said boy.
Cemetoss ran over towards him. "All Might." he whispered. "Shouldn't you be… you know… skinny?" He asked. "Thank Midoriya for that. He managed to manipulate his Quirk to slightly heal me. It added fifteen minutes to my time! However, the time seems… disconnected." Cemetoss nodded. "You should inform Nezu and the nurse." he said.
The cops showed up soon afterwards. "17… 18… Other then the boy All Might brought back to UA and the short kid, you all seem unharmed. However, that doesn't explain the massive blood stains found, but with no bodies or signs of bodies being moved." He shrugged. "I'll let the pros handle that." He then left to tell the pros such.
The students were having some conversations about the whole thing. "Ojiro! I'm so glad you're OK!" Toru said. "You were so strong by yourself!" The tailed boy blushed. "I- I thought everyone else was separated. I survived by hit and run tactics." he responded. "I was with Todoroki! He was super powerful! He froze all of the bad guys!" 'And I almost froze her' said teen thought to himself.
"Where… do you think I was?!" Yuga asked. "So the guys we fought and Izuku… I still can't believe I'm saying this… ate… were nothing but small fry?" Fumikage asked, completely unaware of Yuga. "Yeah, they underestimated us because they were kids." Kashinari said, still shaking a little. Yuga turned towards another group. "Where…" he began, but everyone was still ignoring him. "So All Might put the hole in the roof?" Sero asked. "Yeah, that power was crazy!" Sato responded. Yuga turned towards Tsuyu. "Where did you think I was?" he asked her. "Where?" she responded. "It's a secret!" he shouted. The police officer returned from talking with the pros. "Ok, I think it's best for the students to return to their classrooms for now." he said. "We'll ask about what happened later."
"Sir, what about Aizawa-sensei? He was escorted away!" One of the students asked. "Well, he was surprisingly unharmed, but his eyes changed. Looking very closely we could see a transparent layer of tissue over them that acted like another set of eyelids. He's undergoing tests at the hospital now."
Meanwhile, at the hospital…
"So Eraserhead, we finally got the DNA results. And you truly are Eraserhead." Tee doctor said. Aizawa sighed. "Why the doubt?" He asked. "Well when someone grows an entire new part to an organ like that, especially when security was breached, we have to make sure that you're really you." He nodded. "That is rational, but why DNA tests? Why not use knowledge only I would know?" The doctor chuckled. "Well, according to Present Mic, you'd react violently if were threatened to kill your cats." The mere mention of such an act made Aizawa's capture scarf wave in the air. "Damn right I would!" he snarled. "Well then, you'll be able to resume teaching tomorrow." The doctor said.
"What about 13?" Mina asked. "13 has been treated. She suffered a few minor injuries but she will survive." Mina breathed a sigh of relief. "All Might will also be alright. Recovery Girl is seeing to him now."
"Deku?" Uraraka asked. "What about Midoriya?! I saw him unconscious!" Iida shouted. The class flinched at that. "Midoriya? Oh, the green-haired kid. He's fine. All Might told me personally that he's just tired and in a deep sleep. He should wake up in about 24 hours." The class breathes a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness!" Uraraka exclaimed. Iida also nodded. The rest of the class smiled as well. "Now then, you should all return to your classroom!" the officer said. Then he turned to an officer with a cat's head. "Sansa, I also have business in the nurse's office. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes sir!" he saluted. "It's a cat?" Mina asked. "Apparently." Uraraka answered.
Back in USJ, Snipe, Midnight and Nezu were still talking. "We're going to need to make several drastic security changes, aren't we?" Nezu asked. "Yep." Snipe confirmed. "A warping Quirk is very rare, but for a villain of all people to have one…" Midnight said, her words trailing off.
"Detective Tsukauchi!" a police officer told the other officer who had been talking to the students. "Yes?" the now-identified detective asked. "We found what is thought to be a villain captured in some trees in the school grounds!"
"How is it?" he asked. "Well, it's docile and not resisting capture, so that's a plus. It's also not responding to any of us, so it might be mute." Just then, Midnight and Principal Nezu came walking out. "Principal Nezu!" the detective called. "I'd like permission to cover every square inch of the school grounds just to be safe!" he requested. "Of course!" Nezu said, spreading his arms. "Some people might complain, but you police officers have more authority. Investigation is what you're good at. I'm counting on you!" he finished, paws clenched. The detective nodded. "Teams, prepare for the investigation of the entire school!" he ordered.
The sun was already setting when the students made it back to UA. In the nurse's office, Toshinori was sitting on a bed while Izuku slept. "Due to the circumstances I can't really blame you for what happened." Recovery Girl said. Toshinori nodded. "Without Midoriya's boost, I think I would've shortened my time limit by a considerable amount." he admitted. Recovery Girl nodded. "You should've told me the messier aspects of his Quirk." she scolded. "I know, but I didn't think he wanted people to know."
"At least you could've told me about the healing abilities!" she reprimanded. "Those didn't exist until today, to the best of my knowledge. As far as I can tell his Quirk grows more powerful the more people he consumes. He was shot in the head during training but his tendrils consumed the monster who did it. He then took on the man's form and spoke with his voice, knowing what that man knew. He told me that he couldn't do that before. He had lied about his Quirk but by then there was no reason to lie." Recovery girl gasped. "An evolving Quirk?" she asked. "I know. It's like One For All… or All For One." he finished. Recovery Girl nodded. "How many people did he consume today?" she asked. He shrugged. "I'd guess around ten." he answered. "So, did you notice any changes?"
"Well, according to one of the villains he ran straight up a vertical surface like it was horizontal. I can confirm that he can turn his entire right arm into a massive blade, but he doesn't know how to use it. His jumping ability seemed to have gotten an increase as well." Recovery Girl began writing that down. "What do you think his upper limit of evolving is?" she asked. "I have no idea, and with One For All thrown in…" he shook his head. "I don't think there may be one" The elderly woman finished writing everything down.
"Do you think he might be a threat to society?" she asked. Yagi shook his head. "Even when he had apparently lost most of his higher brain functions and inhibitions towards using his Quirk, he identified his friends and teachers. He called Aizawa 'Hunter' and used the name 'Apex' for me. He seemed confused to why his friends thought he would harm him. So no, I don't think there's a risk." She wrote that down as well. "We're going to have to ask him about that when he wakes up." she instructed. Toshinori nodded. "Excuse me." another voice rang out. All Might proceeded to cough up blood in surprise, although he noticed it was significantly less then usual. "Tsukauchi! You're here too?!" he shouted. "It's been a while All Might." Tsukauchi responded. "Can you give me a report on what happened?"
"Wait! Please tell me what happened to Aizawa- that's Eraserhead, the students and 13!" Tsukauchi chuckled. "Eraserhead is fine. Better then fine, actually. You see, he now had a layer of transparent tissue beneath his eyelids. He can, as far as we can tell, keep his eyes open indefinitely without any issue. 13 is fully recovered, and the students only have a few light injuries, and one of them is unconscious- don't worry, it's just a minor concussion." All Might breathed a sigh of relief, and then perked up again. "W-wait. What was that about Aizawa?!" Recovery Girl nodded. "He managed to grow some sort of tissue that allows him to never have to close his eyes. His Quirk can be used indefinitely. We still have no idea how that happened." Toshinori turned and looked at Izuku. "I think I know what happened, but I'm not going to confirm until I hear it from him." he said. Tsukauchi nodded. "If it wasn't for you three, the students would've died."
"That's where you're wrong. They also fought for their lives. I don't think there have been any first year students who have been exposed to a real combat situation so early, survived, and learned about the career they're soon to obtain. The villains were stupid. The class is strong, and they will all become strong heroes." There was a pregnant pause. "I'm sure of that."
