Chapter 14: USJ Attack, part 2: Going Beyond
To say that Eraserhead was not having a good time would be an understatement. His eyes are in a constant state of irritation, making him fight without most of his sight and quirk. Add to that, the villains he was currently fighting against are on par with him in terms of close combat ability and were able to deal with his capture cloth.
Fortunately, Eraserhead is a seasoned pro hero; therefore, he was able to take down many of the thugs despite the disadvantages placed on him. But he was getting tired, and it was only a matter of time before the odds became more stacked against him.
"Even with all the debuffs placed on him, he's still able to do significant damage to our superior force," Shigaraki commented as he watched the hero fight, "I expect nothing less from Eraserhead; but he can't last for long"
USJ Front Gate
"Children, get behind me!" Thirteen ordered the remaining students with her. They did what she said and immediately activated her quirk, Black Hole, to neutralize Kurogiri.
Kurogiri struggled to keep his footing secure as the force of the black hole sucked everything in front of Thirteen. But despite the struggle, Kurogiri still remained calm.
"There's nothing you can do now, villain," Thirteen said to Kurogiri, "now tell us why you are here and maybe you'll spend less time in a cell."
The mist villain said nothing, still remaining calm. He then created two portals; one in front of Thirteen's black hole, and one right next to her left side.
"What?!" Thirteen let out, and quickly deactivated her quirk. However, she wasn't quick enough; most of the left side was sucked into her own black hole by Kurogiri's redirection. At the shock of such an injury, Thirteen collapsed to the floor and lost consciousness.
"Thirteen!" Ochako and Momo screamed as they went to the downed hero. Momo immediately used her quirk to create roles of bandages and the two girls started using them to stop Thirteen from bleeding out.
Yuga shot out a naval beam at Kurogiri in the hopes of pushing him back, but the mist villain simply opened another pair of portals to redirect the beam back at Yuga.
The force of the beam made a dent in the center of Yuga's cuirass, knocking the wind out of his lungs and him off his feet.
"If you must know," Kurogiri spoke, getting the attention of the scared teens in front of him, "We are here with the goal of killing All Might; but, apparently, he is not here. Therefore we shall wait here until he arrives. Now, be good hostages and cause no further trouble."
Shipwreck Zone
Izuku peeked over the edge of the ship to check on the villains in the water; a second later, he quickly ducked his head to avoid an oncoming jet of water. The force of the jet was strong enough to tear the top part of the railings off.
"GAH!" Minoru cried out in fear, "We're sitting ducks here! What are we gonna do!?"
"Like I said," Izuku reiterated, "we have to fight our way out of this situation."
"SO INSTEAD OF SITTING DUCKS, YOU WANT US TO BE LAMBS FOR THE SLAUGHTER!?" Minoru said in hysterics, "YOU REALLY ARE INSANE!"
"And you are really intolerable right now," Izuku remarked, now annoyed with Minoru, "now unless you have something helpful to say, shut up and follow my lead."
Hearing the change of tone in his voice, Minoru froze and gulped.
"But, Midori, how can we fight them?" Mina asked, "We are at every disadvantage right now."
"... I have an idea," Izuku stated, "Ashido, can you make a lot of oil-like liquid with your quirk?"
Mina took a second to comprehend his question, then her eyes widened.
"You're not planning on burning them alive, are you?" she asked with shock.
"No, I plan to bluff them," Izuku informed her, "I want them to think that I'm that desperate so that they'll choose to dive under the water instead of attacking me; hence why I asked for an 'oil-like' liquid instead of actual oil."
"Got it. I can create a barely acidic substance with the consistency of oil," Mina informed, "how much do you need."
"As much as you can. Start pouring it over the edge when I tell you to." Izuku ordered her. Getting a nod from Mina, he turned to Minoru, "Mineta, your task is simple; when I tell you to, throw as many sticky balls into the water as you can."
"A-alright," Minoru agreed to his order, "but what are you going to do?"
"You'll see."
OOO
"Argh, this is taking too long!" one of the aquatic villains shouted, ramming into the ship and creating a hole in the hull, "Get down here, you brats! There's no way for you to escape, so might as well save us the trouble!"
That's when something started to rain down from the ship's deck onto the villain.
"Da hell? What is this stuff ?" one of them asked, looking at the shiny liquid coating all of them and the surface of the water.
Another villain rubbed the stuff between his fingers, "Is this… oil?"
Then another thing came out of the ship; this time it was an arrow completely made of blazing red fire. It was launched up for all of them to see before it arced down towards them at great speed.
"Wha- oh shit!" one villain exclaimed, realizing what's going on, "Quick, stop that thing before it hits the water.
They all tried to intercept the arrow, but it was a small, fast moving target, and none of them were expert marksmen.
"SHIT!" A good number of them cried out before they all dived into the water before the arrow hit the water.
Hearing the splashes, Izuku looked over the edge of the ship to see that his bluff had work.
Without wasting a moment, Izuku activated his flame vents and emptied four canisters to create great amounts of fire around him.
He concentrated all of the flames into a condensed sphere in his hands, the familiar visage of a dragon's head appeared in the surrounding wisps of fire.
"PSEUDOFLARE!" Izuku shouted as the ball of fire was launched into the water.
The flaming projectile made its way through the water, evaporating the surrounding liquid before it could be doused. It passed the depths the villains were at before exploding, evaporating a large amount of water.
As the large amounts of air made its way to the surface, a massive vacuum was created, pulling all the villains into a single area.
Seeing the vortex being made in the water's surface, Izuku turned to Minoru.
"Now, Mineta!" he shouted.
In an instant, the grape-head teen started launching his sticky balls into the water like he was being paid per ball. Izuku saw all the balls being sucked into the vortex before the water settled. A moment passed before a large mass broke the water's surface; that mass turns out to be all the aquatic villains stuck together, courtesy of Minoru's balls.
"It worked!" Minoru exclaimed in joyous disbelief, "Ya crazy bastard, your plan actually worked."
"That it did." Izuku said with a smile, "thank goodness, I was worried I'd had to improvise halfway through."
"So all we have to do now is swim back to share, right?" Mina asked, smiling that the villains were dealt with.
"I'm not going into the water!" Minoru said, "The villains are still in there and I don't want to invoke Murphy's law!"
"We're not swimming, we'll take one of the lifeboats back." Izuku said, gesturing behind the two. They turned to see that, on the ship's deck, there were two simple fiberglass lifeboats ready for use.
"Didn't notice them before, but it would make sense for a ship this size to have emergency boats on board, even if it's just a simulation," Izuku stated, "Talk about convenience."
Landslide Zone
Shoto continued to fend off the villains attacking him as best he could; but like Mashirao and Rikido, nothing was working to their advantage.
The bi-color hair boy felt nothing but burning cold on his right side from constantly creating ice, and now he was losing his focus along with his energy. During one of his lapses in concentration, one of the villains managed to get too close for comfort.
Caught off guard by the villain, Shoto's body reacted instinctively to defend itself; from his left side, flames erupted in a large plume, making the villain back away before he could attack.
The sudden surge of heat made Shoto regain his full focus. Raising his left hand to his line of sight, he saw small wisps of fire extinguish themselves on his skin. His eyes widened in realization.
"I used his power," Shoto muttered in disbelief; then, rage soon overcame him, "I was forced to break my oath, by some petty thug!"
With a loud roar, Shoto slammed both his right foot and right hand into the loose ground as hard as he could. In an instant, the entire zone was consumed by ice; the once unstable ground was now frozen solid to its very core.
Everyone besides the bi-colored teen was also ensnared by the ice; their faces were open to air, allowing them to breathe, but the sheer cold has temporarily placed everyone's body into shock.
"H-h-he's t-this st-strong?!" Mashirao was able to get out, frozen alongside Rikido, who has now lost consciousness due to fighting fatigue, quirk exhaustion, and now the cold shock.
Shoto made his way to the nearest villain, anger numbing him the intense pain his body is enduring from pushing his quirk farther than he ever has.
He placed his frost covered right hand against the villain's face, allowing the frost to creep steadily across it.
"Tell me why you are here, now!" Shoto demanded coldly, "Speak while you still have a tongue to use."
Fire Zone
"GRYYAAH!" Fumikage's quirk, Dark Shadow, cried out as it drove back some villains away from its master with its weakened strength.
With the villains driven back, Fumikage continued making his way down the burning building he was in. In his arms was an exhausted Tsuyu, the heat of the surrounding fires finally taking its toll on her.
Fumikage did his best to shield her from the heat with his cloak, but he knew the best way to help Tsuyu was to get her out of the Fire Zone and hydrate her as quickly as possible.
As he made his descent, more of the villains in the building went in the attack. He did his best to fight them off with Dark Shadow, but the more he brought out his quirk to fight, the weaker it got due to the lights of the fires and the villains' quirks; and the more he descended, the more villains it seemed to appear to stop him.
Soon, Fumikage found himself no longer able to push through the groups of villains and Dark Shadow too weak to be a suitable defense.
Quickly looking around for any means of escape, the bird-headed teen saw a window not far off with nothing blocking his way.
He hesitated for a second; he knew that he went down four floors of the inflamed building already, but he had no idea of what floor he came in. For all Fumikage knew, he could be at ground floor already or still be high enough for a fall to cause serious injury.
He looked down at Tsuyu; seeing her condition getting worse, Fumikage decided that the risk of a high fall was better than certain defeat and capture by these villains.
He ran as fast as he could towards the window, momentarily confusing the villains in front of him. Before they realized what he was doing, Fumikage was already at the window.
"Dark Shadow," Fumikage called out his quirk, "cover me!"
"AYE!" Dark Shadow cried out as it shielded the two heroes in training as they crashed through the window.
Fumikage couldn't see through Dark Shadow's body, but he could feel the high drop that he was now in. A few seconds later, he felt the sudden stop of the fall, signifying that they had reached the ground.
Dark Shadow, who absorbed most of the fall's impact, receded back into Fumikage, growing too weak to take physical form now.
Shaking away his daze, Fumikage got up and checked on the frog girl in his arms. Seeing that she didn't get injured from the fall, he checked his immediate surroundings. Seeing that there were no villains waiting outside the burning building he came out of, he got to his feet and started running away from the Fire Zone as fast as he could without looking back.
"We have to get back to the others," Fumikage said to himself, then looked at Tsuyu's unconscious form, "but first, I have to find some water for her."
Ruins Zone
The sound of explosions rattled throughout the destroyed building, causing the already unstable structure to be even more unstable.
"Bakugo, stop it!" Kyoka shouted at the blond bomber, who was causing the explosions. The girl had her hands over her ears in the effort of muffling the deafening booms being made, her quirk, Earphone Jack, was not helping her by amplifying all the sounds she hears.
"She's right, Bakugo!" Eijiro shouted over the explosions, using his quirk and his body to shield Kyoka for the debris falling all around. "You're gonna bring the whole building down on us!"
"THEN JUST SHUT UP AND STAY WHERE YOU ARE, EXTRA," Katsuki shouted back at them, never taking his eyes off the sludge villain, "I'M TAKING DOWN THIS VILLAIN AND ENDING THIS POOR EXCUSE OF AN ATTACK!"
"Hehehe," the sludge villain let out a chuckle as he evaded another series of explosions, his liquid like body making the task easy in the claustrophobic environment, "You're just as volatile as I remember. But I'm not gonna make the mistake of taking my time with you again."
With that, the sludge villain began moving in between the cracks and crevices surrounding the three teens, destroying many load-bearing supports with surprising speed.
Debris began falling at a faster and larger rate. As Eijiro continued to protect Kyoka, Katsuki started blasting away the oncoming rocks of cement. This only resulted in more debris to fall on them.
Soon enough, there was too much for even the bomber to keep track of. One of these things was an iron support beam, which struck him on the back and pinned him to the ground.
"GAH!" Katsuki cried out; he tried to push the beam off of him, but it was too heavy for his quirk-fatigued arms to overcome, "DAMMIT!"
"Bakugo!" Eijiro called out to his peer, his arms and legs straining to keep the weight of a portion of a building of him and Kyoka. Kyoka herself stayed where she was, she couldn't think of any way of how she could contribute to the current situation.
"Now, before I kill you and your friends," the sludge villain said to Katsuki, emerging in front of him from the surrounding piles of rubble, "tell me where I can find that green haired friend of yours; that bastard needs to pay for taking my eye."
"HAH!? ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME!?" Katsuki shouted in disbelief, "YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE ASS KICKING I'M GONNA GIVE YOU WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS!"
"Why should I?" the villain asked rhetorically, "you're nothing to me now. Now be useful and tell me where he is before I end you."
Katsuki's eyes widened when the criminal in front of him called him nothing, then they narrowed. Then, a rage like never before exploded in him.
"This nobody calls me a nobody, and thinks fucking Deku is more important than me!?" He screamed in his mind.
He let out a roar as he brought both of his arms out of where they were trapped in and pointed one to the villain. He quickly pulled the pin from that hand's gauntlet and released a massive explosion, striking the villain before he could react.
Though his gauntlets were modified after the training exercise to deliver a less potentially lethal explosion, they still had enough force to blast away the side of the ruined building he was in and scatter the sludge villain enough to render him unconscious.
With the side gone, the ruined building began to collapse on top of the three teens. But before that could happen, Katsuki pointed his other gauntlet up and pulled the pin. The resulting explosion, blasted all of the building away, knocked the villains surrounding the area off their feet, and made a hole in the domed ceiling of the USJ.
With most of the weight off him, Eijiro pushed away the remaining debris he was holding and helped Kyoka to her feet.
"Are you okay, Jiro?" the redhead asked.
"What!?" Kyoka asked, rubbing her ears.
"Aw jeez," Eijiro remarked after hearing that, "we gotta get back with the others. Bakugo, let's get out of here!"
The bomber ignored his classmate. Rage still in him, he made his way up on top of the highest pile of rubble. There he saw all of the villains in that zone currently recovering from the blast, and they could see him.
"MY NAME," he announced at the top of his lungs for all to hear, "IS BAKUGO KATSUKI, THE FUTURE NUMBER ONE HERO OF THE WORLD! AND BEFORE THIS DAY IS OVER, YOU WILL ALL BE GOING TO PRISON IN A BODYBAG!"
Central Plaza
Shigaraki looked up at the newly made hole in the ceiling after witnessing Katsuki's display.
"That wasn't part of his plan," he remarked, "good, that gives me an excuse to improvise now."
"About time, too," he added as he pulled out a flip phone, making sure that one finger remained of the device as he speed dialed a number, "we should've been doing things my way; this is my campaign to start with."
Front Gate
Things were not looking good for the students dealing with Kurogiri. Their plan to neutralize the mist man with Ochako's quirk has just failed; now, the well-dressed man had the girl pinned to the ground by his heel and had her hands in two small rifts to keep them away.
"You almost got me, young girl," Kurogiri admitted, "but I did not come here today ill-prepared. Now all of you stay where you are and be good hostages, or this child will suffer more than she needs to."
"Dammit." Tenya cursed through his teeth. That was their one chance to gain an advantage, now their situation just got worse.
The atmosphere was tense; then, they all heard a ringing of a phone.
Without taking his eyes off the kids, Kurogiri pulled out a flip phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Kurogiri," the voice of Shigaraki came through, "get over here and bring out the Nomu."
"Now?" Kurogiri asked with slight surprise in his voice, "but the plan was-"
"Forget his plan! Did you not see the blast that punched a hole in the roof?" Shigaraki interrupted, "Someone was bound to see that happen and report it to some heroes. His plan required time, and now we have less of it; now bring the Nomu to me. I want to cause as much destruction as possible before All Might shows up."
"What about the children that I'm tasked with keeping as hostages?" Kurogiri asked.
"Leave them," was the answer he got, "if he wants to keep all the brats inside so bad, he can do it himself!"
"Very well, I'll be there right away." Kurogiri then ended the call and took his foot off Ochako.
The villain stepped away from her as she got up. Before any of the teens could do something, Kurogiri stepped back into a rift and closed it, leaving them.
"...quelle?" Yuga said, confused at what just happened.
"Never mind that," Momo said, getting out of her stupor, "Iida, go get All Might and the other teachers as fast as you can."
"Right!" Tenya said and started sprinting toward the entrance.
He passed through with no issue.
Now that he was outside, Iida immediately activated his quirk and sped towards UA as fast as he could.
"Hang on everyone," Tenya said out loud, "I'll come back with help before you know it."
Shipwreck Zone
"Midoriya!" a voice called out, getting the greenhead's attention. He turned to see Fumikage running towards him with Tsuyu in his arms.
"Tokoyami, is Asui okay?" Izuku asked, getting a closer look at the frog girl's condition.
"She has heat exhaustion," Fumikage explained, "we were trapped in a building engulfed with flames with demons in their element."
"Then get her in the water quickly," Izuku told Fumikage, "Don't worry about the villains here, Ashido, Mineta, and I just finished securing the last of them."
Fumikage briefly looked at the nearby pile of villains that were stuck to each other and the ground, courtesy of Mineta's quirk, before bringing Tsuyu to the water. Said teen was nearby, bleeding from the scalp due to exhausting his quirk.
"Uh, I don't think I can carry on anymore guys," Minoru said tiredly, "I think I'll just take a quick nap to get my strength back."
And so he did, immediately snoring once he closed his eyes, snuggling against the most comfortable thing nearby, which happened to be Mina's leg.
"Hey, get offa me, ya perv!" Mina exclaimed, shaking Minoru off.
A roar was then heard from the central plaza, and a heavy impact was felt. Izuku's eyes narrowed.
"Tokoyami, which direction was that burning building?" he asked; Fumikage pointed at the direction he came from. Izuku nodded.
"Alright, here's the plan," Izuku said, "Tokoyami, Ashido, you are to take Asui and Mineta to the front entrance once she wakes up. After that, you are to do whatever Thirteen says. Got it?"
"What about you?" Fumikage asked him.
"I am going to check on Mr. Aizawa," Izuku answered, "that roar and boom came from the central plaza, where he went to. Once I do that, I meet up with you at the front entrance."
"Alright, stay safe." Mina said, concern could be heard in her voice.
Izuku gave them both a nod and began making his way to the central plaza.
Tenya was pushing himself to the very limit as he sprinted towards the UA main building. Right now, he was only halfway finished in his path.
"YOUNG IIDA," a familiar booming voice called out beside the teen, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT? YOU SHOULD BE AT THE USJ."
"All Might!" Tenya let out with relief, "USJ is under attack by villains! Please save my class as I get the teachers!"
"ON IT!" All Might said without hesitation, moving towards the building faster that Tenya could see.
With hope boosting his morale, Tenya pushed his quirk harder, increasing his speed as he continued on his task.
Izuku has made his way to the edge of the central plaza, making sure that he wasn't seen as he surveyed the area.
His attention was fully on the giant, muscular being in the center holding the broken form of his teacher as another villain covered in hands started talking to him.
He knew that he would be in over his head if he went out there, but he couldn't just leave his teacher in the villain's hands. Ultimately, his conscience and hero spirit won over; he decided that he would get his teacher to safety.
"Midoriya, what's going on?" a voice asked behind him. He turned to see Mina behind him, hiding herself the same way he is.
"Firstly, what are you doing here?" Izuku asked her, surprised to see her.
"It didn't feel right letting you go on your own," Mina answered, "so I decided to back you up. Don't worry, Tokoyami is taking Tsuyu and Mineta back to the others as we speak."
"Rather reckless of you, but I can't change your mind now," Izuku remarked, but gave her comforting smile, "thanks for coming, despite everything."
"Hey, we're here to be heroes, right?" she asked rhetorically with a nervous grin. "So what's happening?"
"Mr. Aizawa is greatly injured, a big brute has him pinned while the guy with light blue hair is talking to him; I suspect he's the one in charge of the villains." Izuku summarized.
"What do we do?" Mina asked.
"We save Mr. Aizawa." Izuku answered.
"How?"
"I'm working on it."
"I gotta admit, Eraserhead," Shigaraki said, crouching in front of the broken hero, "for a hero, you're pretty cool. Even with all the odds placed against you, you still managed to KO so many mobs."
Shouta said nothing, choosing only to glare at the villain. The Nomu holding him tightened its grip on his broken arm, causing him to wince.
"I'd like to keep playing the long game with you and the others," Shigaraki continued, he placed his hand on Shouta's other arm, causing it to start disintegrating; Shouta activated his quirk to stop the process from progressing further, "but I know All Might will be here soon because of that hole in the roof. So, to speed things up, I think I'll kill some of the kids here myself before he gets here."
He stood back up and looked around. Scanning his surroundings, he spotted a bright pink figure contrasting against the environment at the edge of the plaza. He recalled his 'partner' describing one of the kids in this class to have pink skin and a quirk that produces acid.
"Starting with her." Shigaraki said with a grin, "Kurogiri."
Izuku and Mina froze; the suspected leader of the attack was looking right at them.
Suddenly, a familiar black rift opened in front of Mina, and Shigaraki was instantly in front of her; his right hand was outstretched towards her face, one second from grabbing her.
She stared at the man approaching her as he did the same. He is an assassin, and he is here to kill her.
There are only a few people that she knows that would have adequate reason to have her dead, she would have to find out who it is before one of them succeeds in killing her.
The assassin drew his blade with great speed, but it was not great enough. Before he could fully unsheathe his sword, she has already severed his blade arm with her own.
"AAAAGH!" Shigaraki cried out in pain, "MY ARM!"
The hand that was about to end Mina's life was now in the air, severed from its body from the forearm. There was no blood, the cut cauterized, courtesy of the fire-made katana being wielded by Izuku.
"Shigaraki!" Kurogiri warped his leader back to him. The injury was not fatal, but it will be debilitating.
"NOMU!" Shigaraki cried out in pain and anger, "KILL THOSE TWO BRATS!"
In a flash, the muscular brute was right in front of Izuku and Mina. Izuku quickly created a hoplon with his fire to block an oncoming punch from the Nomu. He was able to stop a direct hit, but the force of the punch broke his shield and launched him back, knocking the wind out of him.
Mina was frozen on the spot, fear gripping her as the Nomu loomed over her menacingly. She has only once experienced this level of fear before.
Before the Nomu could do anything else, it was suddenly incased in a glacier of ice.
"Ashido," Shoto's cold voice ironically unfreezing her, "help Midoriya up and join the others at the front gate. I'll handle things here."
Without a word she immediately ran to where Izuku was launched. The Nomu broke through the glacier and was incased immediately before it could do anything.
"So this is the thing that's supposed to kill All Might," Shoto remarked as the creature started to break through the ice, "please, this guy is way below All Might's league."
"Who the fuck is this newcomer!?" asked an agitated Shigaraki, coming over his shock, "whatever; Nomu kill that brat and bring me that green haired bastard alive! He owes me an arm."
A rapid series of explosions was heard before both Kurogiri and Shigaraki were blown away from each other.
"Will you all stop talking about shitty Deku!" Katsuki shouted as he pinned Kurogiri by his metal collar, one arm ready to blast him if one wrong move was made, "You got the future number one hero to deal with now!"
"And the unbreakable hero as well!" Eijiro added, entering the scene, "Give it up, ya creep, it's all over for you now!"
"Not until All Might gets here and I kill him." Shigaraki said, getting up.
A large boom was heard as smoke billowed out from one side of the USJ.
"Speak of the devil." Shigaraki added, turning in the direction of the explosion.
"NEVER FEAR, EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT NOW!" the booming voice of All Might could be heard by everyone, bringing hope and relief to the teens and dread to the villains, "WHY? BECAUSE I AM HERE!"
All Might came out of the smoke, and he did not look happy.
In a flash, all the kids and Eraserhead were brought to the front gate by All Might; everyone of the teens appeared to have fought for their very lives. As for the villain grunts, they were knocked unconscious without realizing it. The only villains not knocked out were Kurogiri and Shigaraki,due to the Nomu taking the hits for them.
"I'm sorry, Eraserhead," All Might apologized softly to his broken co-worker as he set him down beside Thirteen, "I should have been here from the start."
"All.. Might," Aizawa grunted out, "Nomu.. multiple quirks.. Regen." Shouta lost his remaining strength and fell unconscious.
"Rest now, my friend," All Might said, "I will end this nightmare."
With that, he jumped down to face this threat head on.
Tenya was fighting off his body's every urge to stop and rest, the exhausts on his legs were burning from nonstop use. Despite the pain and fatigue, he continued to run.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the main building of UA campus was in his sight. Gaining more motivation, Tenya pushed himself harder; he was going to feel the effects of this for a while.
He was about to hit the home stretch of his journey when a cold, hollow, chill coursed through his body.
Suddenly, a shadowy hand appeared on his left and pulled him back by the face.
Tenya felt his body be thrown, everything around him became a blur. He went through what felt like a door before crashing to the floor in a daze.
"Iida!?" A feminine voice called his name in surprise.
Shaking away his daze, he looked to see that it was Momo who said his name. Looking around in disbelief, he realized he was back at the USJ.
"What happened?" Ochako asked, unsure of what to think of this situation, "Did you manage to get the teachers?"
Tenya opened his mouth to answer, but only a bloody scream came out as a sharp excruciating pain overwhelmed his senses.
Turning to see what was causing such pain, he saw that a few of his exhaust pipes were ripped from his legs, blood leaking slowly from the fresh wounds.
A spine-chilling cold ran through the teens' spines as they heard the clinking of metal hitting the cement floor.
Looking to the sound's direction, they all saw the shadowy figure of a man. His entire body cloaked in complete darkness, as if the light surrounding him was being consumed. His only distinguishing features were a pair of wicked horns atop his head, a pair of dark-yellow, soulless eyes, and clawed hands.
Hands that were unfurled from fists in front of them, letting small, bloody piles fall to the floor with a clink.
He gazed at all of class 1-A, and if he had a mouth, they would have seen him grinning with wicked glee.
AN: Thank you all for you patience for the next chapter and I apologize for taking a while to upload. There are three reasons for this. 1) I have a problem of being lazy. 2) I have a full-time job. 3) I have been playing The Witcher 3 again.
As for the main pairing of this story, it is Izuku x Yui x Ochako; this, however, won't stop me from writing other girls from being attracted to Izuku. It also won't stop me from writing other pairing into the story, despite romance not really being the main focus of the story.
Thanks once again for reading my story, I appreciate your support and feedback.
