RISE OF THE MIDORIYA BROTHERS
CHAPTER 8: USJ ARC FINALE
Previously…
(Ken and Izuku Vs. Nomu)
Ken and the Nomu charge at each other. Ken had his right fist coated with his flames which spun around like a drill while the creature had it's left arm pulled back as they close in on each other.
"Fire Dragon's Drill Fist!"
Ken cried out as his flame-coated fist collided with the Nomu's larger fist, the collision causing a shockwave and flames to be expelled. Ken grits his teeth as he feels pain from his fist. The Nomu immediately pulls it's fist and grabs his arm pulling the boy towards it.
Ken quickly coats his other fist with his flames and throws three quick punches at the Nomu. One on the face and two on the chest. While the punches didn't do much, the flames still burnt the creature's skin. The Nomu then delivers a hard blow to the boy's gut and Ken gasps in pain before he is sent flying from the blow.
"St. Louis Smash!"
Izuku cries out as he dashes and delivers a powerful kick to the Nomu's face. The power from the kick would have knocked out a lot of people but all it did was move the creature's head. Izuku then flips back and flicks his right middle finger releasing a wind bullet.
"Delaware Smash!" The attack hits the Nomu's chest but it didn't damage it. Izuku continues to do the same thing as the Nomu rushes at him. The creature swings at the greenette who narrowly dodges before clenching his left hand into a fist and throwing a punch towards the Nomu's abdomen area.
"Detroit Smash!"
Izuku shouts out as the punch connects releasing a shockwave but like their other attacks, the Nomu wasn't fazed. It then quickly delivered a kick to Izuku's jaw causing saliva to fly out of the boy's mouth and the boy to fly upwards. The Nomu was about to follow after him to continue it's attack but Ken shoots out of the wall he had been embedded in like a bullet, his body engulfed in flames, towards the Nomu and throws a punch to the Nomu's face causing it to slightly stumble back before it regained it's bearings and punched Ken on the face sending him flying back but he manages to land on his feet, Izuku landing beside him.
The two had been fighting the Nomu for almost ten minutes and they already had a bruises and a few broken bones on them. If not for the high durability their quirks granted them add to their previous training, they wouldn't still be standing.
No matter how hard their punches are, the Nomu always takes it with some ease. They had already figured out that the Nomu either had a really durable body or a shock absorption quirk. The latter one was confirmed to be it when Shigaraki had said so. And then the few times they managed to wound it, though it was mainly burns, it would instantly regenerate. Combined with it's monstrous strength, and this thing was a serious problem.
"Damn…this thing's too tough." Ken says as he pants. "I know…" Izuku panted out. "But we can't give up now." He adds.
"Yeah…right."
Shigaraki meanwhile was watching the fight with a look of annoyance, well not like anyone would know considering he's covering his face with a hand. He knew that the two brats couldn't take on Nomu but the fact that they hadn't been dealt with yet was a surprise to him. They were tougher than he thought and it frustrated him.
"Nomu! Hurry up and kill then already!" He orders.
The Nomu let's out a loud screech(or whatever it is) and charges at the two boys. The two brothers ready themselves to continue the fight when a loud banging sound was heard across the USJ. Everyone turns to the entrance door and were immediately relieved at the person who was standing there.
It was Allmight.
And he wasn't smiling.
"Have no fear! For I am here!" The blonde no.1 hero declares loudly and while the students felt hope and relief at the sight of the man, the remaining villains who were still standing were cowering in fear at his presence.
"Finally, you arrive…Allmight." Shigaraki says with a grin.
Now…
"Allmight!" Ochako along with the other students who weren't warped away from the entrance cry out in relief. The man just walks passed them towards the steps and looks down at the scene below.
"You all must have been really frightened and were desperately giving it your all to survive. You've all done well but it's alright now. For I am here!" Allmight says ripping off his tie.
"H-holy shit…i-it's him…" One of the few conscious villains says with fear evident in his voice. "Y-yeah…Allmight…it's the first…t-time I've seen him in person." Another one says also fearful of the man.
"O-oi don't go quitting now…w-we came here to kill the man…" A taller villain says trying to sound confident but he was failing badly.
Suddenly, in an instant, Allmight had sped past all the villains, knocking all of them out, each with a single blow. 'He's fast!' Shigaraki thought as he couldn't follow the no.1 hero's movement at all.
Ken and Izuku were also staring at the man in awe as he appears in front of the two brothers. "Young Midoriyas, sorry I was late but now you can leave this thing to me!" The man says.
Ken shakes his head at that. "Allmight while I know just how strong you are, that thing is dangerous." He says. "Yeah, he took afull powered OFA punch and didn't even budge and no matter how hard we hit it, it still wasn't fazed." Izuku adds.
Allmight, though surprised at what he heard, just turns and faces the two students before smiling and doing a 'peace' sign. "Don't worry my young protégé's, everything will be alright!" He says before crouching down. "Now get outta here!"
Almight then charges towards the villains with incredible speeds with his arms crossed and performs a downward chop at Shigaraki but the Nomu intercepts the attack with ease surprising Allmight.
'So that's what they meant.' He thought before bending backwards to avoid a straight punch from the creature. 'But still to be able to take my blows…' He added mentally as the two begun to exchange blows with each other.
"Oi Izuku, let's go. Allmight can handle this." Ken says putting a hand on the green haired boy's shoulder. Izuku just stares at the fight a bit longer before nodding and activating his Full Cowling at 15% and running towards the entrance. Ken runs after him.
"No matter how hard you punch Nomu, it won't work against it's shock absorption quirk. Unless you can ripped it's guts out but I don't think it would just let you." Shigaraki says.
Allmight then manages to get around the Nomu and grab it from behind. "Well thanks for the info but if that's all then this'll be a cinch!" The man says as he delivers a backdrop slam, slamming the Nomu onto the ground, blowing it apart and releasing a massive shockwave that could be felt through most of the USJ.
"Damn, I still can't get over how strong Allmight is." Ken says glancing at the fight. "We got lucky he arrived on time, right bro?" He says looking at Izuku who looked to be deep in thought. "Oi Izuku!"
"Huh?"
"Quit overthinking things. Allmight said he'll take care of it so you gotta have faith in him." The black haired teen says.
"I know but…" Izuku says. 'I'm sure he knows as well. Allmight's running on fumes.' He thought knowing that only the two of them knew about Allmight's condition and in how much danger he really was in.
"Looks like they managed to get Aizawa-sensei to safety." Ken says spotting the now bandaged but still unconscious man along with the rest of their class save for Bakugo, Kirishima and Todoroki.
Izuku then glances back again, barely registering what his brother said and his eyes widened as he saw the no.1 hero been held down by the Nomu who had it's upper body warped away to avoid any damage from the backdrop slam and was holding tightly Allmight's injury.
"I certainly don't enjoy having blood and organs in me but I'll endure it since it's from you, Allmight." Kurogiri says as Allmight began to bleed from his injury. 'D-dammit…I got careless and caught off guard!' The blonde hero thought.
Izuku, seeing this, immediately turned around and dashed towards where the fight was going on. Ken turns and sees Izuku running towards the fight. "Oi Izuku!" He calls out but the boy didn't respond. Ken growls before chasing after him.
"W-what are they doing?" Ochako asks having spotted the two boys heading towards them, only to run back towards the fight between Allmight and the freak of nature
"For someone that claims to be the smarter one, you sure are being stupid right now." Ken says as the two boys were neck and neck and were getting closer to Allmight. Izuku keeps looking forward. "Yeah, I know this is stupid but we still gotta do something. Allmight needs help." He says.
"Foolish" Kurogiri says as he appears in front of the brothers who were getting ready to jump over him when Bakugo came over and sends and explosion at the villain.
"Outta my way! Ya damn bastards!" He shouts out as he grabs the metal body of the misty villain and pins him to the ground. "No funny business ya damn mist or I'll blow you to pieces!"
"Bakugo?/Boom boom boy?" Both brothers said at the same time.
Then the Nomu's limbs were suddenly frozen in ice and the two turned to see they were joined by Todoroki and Kirishima. "Nice timing guys." Izuku says.
"Sorry about this but the symbol of peace can't be taken down by the likes of you villains." Todoroki says facing Shigaraki who just scratch his neck.
"Well this is quite the pinch huh. You kids have managed to pin our way out and help out Allmight. Gotta hand it to you, at this rate us villains will look like a laughing stock." Shigaraki states before sighing. "Nomu get rid of that explosion brat, we need to rescue our way out." He orders and much to the heroes shock and horror, the Nomu breaks it's frozen parts and instantly regenerates them.
"What the?!" Allmight shouts in shock. Suddenly the Nomu dashes towards Bakugo who still had Kurogiri pinned down. The creature was so fast that none of the UA students could follow it. Bakugo's eyes widen when he sees the monster's fist about to make contact with his face. 'Shit, it's fast!'
"Bakubro move!" Kirishima shouts out to the blonde but it was too late as the Nomu delivers a devastating blow that towards the explosive boy forming a crater that stretched out towards a random wall. "Bakubro!"
"I'm alright shitty hair!" The UA students then turn to see the blonde safe and sound and on the ground. "Wha-? You dodged it? Amazing!" The red head says.
"No, I didn't." Bakugo says. 'I couldn't even see him.'
Izuku and Ken were silent as they knew what had happened. They could barely follow it, but they had seen that Allmight had knocked Bakugo out of the way and taken the blow for him.
"So you took one for the brat huh? Well, it doesn't mean anything. Nomu, Kurogiri deal with Allmight. I'll handle the brats." The blue haired villain orders out.
"It's three versus six. You think you can handle all of us." Todoroki states. The others get into combat stances ready to fight back against the villains.
"No stay back! You all are no match for these creature!" Allmight says stopping the students from attacking. "But if it weren't for my ice, you'd been in really bad shape." Todoroki protests.
"Yes and I appreciate the help young Todoroki but I can't risk my students live in this. Just stay back and watch a pro show you how it's done!" Allmight says before facing the villains and glares at them. "It's time to settle this!"
"I totally agree!" Shigaraki says and the Nomu immediately rushes at Allmight who charges back. The two throw a punch which collide and release a shockwave that blows back the surrounding trees and rubble while almost blowing away the students. The two then begin to throw a barrage of fast and powerful blows at each other, each collision cracking the ground more and more.
"You say it's quirk is shock absorption right?! Not nullification, which means that it has a limit to how many blows it can take!" Allmight states as he notices that his punches were beginning to damage the creature.
'He's coughing up blood but still going at it. And those punches, he isn't just throwing them carelessly. He's hitting specific spots on the creature.' Izuku says observing the fight the best he could.
"It's supposed to be able to withstand 100% of my punches. Then I'll just go beyond that!" Allmight says as his punches increase in speed and power. "Remember this words very clearly villain! PLUS…ULTRA!" Allmight shouts out delivering a final blow that sends the creature flying out of the USJ.
The boy could only stare at what they had just witnessed in awe.
'He kept throwing powerful punches until the Nomu's shock absorption couldn't handle it and it's regeneration quirk wasn't fast enough to keep up. So…this is Allmight's power.' Ken thought as he stared at the man. His respect for him growing.
'So this is the top…the world of the pros.' Bakugo thought with wide eyes.
"Man, it's like looking at a comic book! Allmight's strength is really something!" Kirishima says loudly and Izuku just nods agreeing with him.
'This is…the level I have to reach.' The green haired boy thought.
"Man, I've seriously gotten weaker. Back in my prime, it'd have taken five punches to beat that thing." Allmight said as he coughs up blood. "But I had to throw more than three hundred punches to win."
"Y-you…you cheated!" Shigaraki shouts out in anger. How? He had been told that Allmight was weaker than before and yet the man had still beaten the Nomu, something created to kill him.
"Surrender now villains! I don't want to hurt you!" Allmight says facing Shigaraki.
"D-dammit. How? How had he beaten Nomu!" Shigaraki loudly asks.
"What's wrong?! Where's all the bravado from before?! You said you wanted to kill me?!" Allmight says before glaring at the blue haired man causing him to subconsciously take a step back. "Come and try it if you dare!"
'T-this guy…' Shigaraki thought.
"Seems we're not needed anymore." Todoroki says as he begins to head towards the entrance. "Yeah, let's leave the rest to Allmight!" Kirishima says as he follows the red and white haired boy. Bakugo also follows the two but glances back when he sees Ken and Izuku just staring at Allmight.
"Oi what you two still doing there?" He asks but when he doesn't receive an answer, a tick mark appears on his head. "Oi! Quit ignoring me!"
'Allmight's at his limit…' Izuku thought.
'This is all just a bluff to drive the villains away. I'm sure he can barely move without transforming back.' Ken states mentally.
'I hope they buy the bluff and just leave.' Allmight thought as he could feel himself getting weaker as steam formed on his body. He was barely managing to keep his muscle form. 'Come on…'
"Young Master, calm down. If you look you'll see that Allmight has definitely taken a lot of damage from the Nomu and is weakened. If we attack now we can surely kill him." Kurogiri says to Shigaraki who stops scratching his neck.
The man then chuckles. "You're right Kurogiri. Let's use this chance to do what we came for!" He says as the two villains rush towards Allmight who begins to panic.
'Shit! Shit! Shit!' He thought.
However before the two could reach the man, a torrent of flames blocks their path stopping them from progressing. The two villains and hero turn to see it was Ken who had shot the flames.
"Sorry fellas. Can't have you killing Allmight now can we?" He says with a grin.
"Damn brat! Why I ought to…" Shigaraki was then cut off as a bullet pierces his right arm, causing him to groan in pain. Everyone turns towards the entrance to see that the rest of the UA staff had arrived.
"About time." Izuku says relieved.
'Finally…' Allmight thought.
"Tch dammit. The rest of the heroes are here. Let's go Kurogiri." Shigaraki says as Kurogiri begins to warp them away but not before two more bullets are shot and pierce both Shigaraki's arm and knee. The two then warp away from the facility.
"You good Allmight?" Izuku asks as him and Ken walk up to the man who was sitting on the ground back in his true form. The dust covering him from the view of other students.
"Ah, yes." Toshinori says as he coughs into his hand. "I'm sore but okay. Thanks for the save." He says and the two boys nod their heads.
"Hey, you guys okay!" The three head Kirishima shout as he ran towards them.
'Shit!' The three thought in unison. If Kirishima reached them, he'd see Allmight in his true form and that would not be good. Fortunately for them, a wall of cement appeared from the ground and covers the three, stopping Kirishima in his tracks.
"I'm sure you're worried about your class mates young one but I'll need you to head to the entrance." The pro hero, Cementos(don't feel like describing him) says as he walks up to the red head. "Leave the injured to us teachers."
"O-okay then." With that, Kirishima heads off to the entrance.
'Phew…' The three let out a sigh of relief.
UA Infirmary(Minutes Later…)
"Because of the circumstances, I won't say anything." Recovery Girl says as she sits beside Toshinori who was laying on one of the beds in the infirmary with bandages across his body. "But as for you two…" She says facing Ken and Izuku who were also standing not too far off with a few bandages on their body. Izuku having one wrapped around his forehead and chest while Ken had his whole right arm bandaged and also his stomach. "…just what were you thinking facing against that thing?"
The two scratched the back of their heads sheepishly. "Well, it was not like we had much of a choice. They weren't just gonna let us run." Ken says.
"Hehe." Izuku chuckles.
Recovery Girl sighs. "You two are just as reckless as this idiot over here." She says pointing at Allmight who only chuckles nervously. Suddenly, Ken's eyes widen as he sniffed the air.
"Someone's coming."
The doors are opened and in comes a familiar face to Allmight. "It's been a while Allmight."
"Tsukauchi?!" Toshinori says in surprise at seeing one of his long time friends. "It definitely has." He adds. "So what brings you here?"
"Allmight, he knows of your true form?" Izuku asks as he stares at the detective. Ken then hits his head. "And you claim to be smart. The fact Allmight isn't puking blood and worrying means that he already knows." He says.
"Sheesh you didn't have to hit me." Izuku mutters.
"Anyway, Allmight. I came to get your statement on the attack. If possible get from your two students." He says looking at the two brothers.
"Wait before that I have to ask. Are the students okay?" Toshinori asks.
"Well, to be honest. These two are the only ones who were actually injured. The rest of your students are fine." Tsukauchi says. "If you and the other two teachers hadn't fought bravely then who knows what might have happened to them."
"That's were you're wrong." Toshinori says before facing the man looking serious. "The students also fought bravely as well. They gave it their all and survived." He continues before grinning. "They'll make great heroes someday."
Ken and Izuku couldn't help but smile after that while Tsukauchi also smiles as well.
"I'm sure you're right."
And that's it for this chapter. I would have finished faster but I performed surgery on my right arm yesterday so I couldn't type as fast as I normally do. The arm hurts a lot just from moving it.
Anyway that's the end of the USJ arc and not much happened that already didn't happen in canon except that Izuku didn't break his bones, well he did but not as badly as he does in canon.
Anyway next chapter will be the beginning of the Sports Festival and I'm going to introduce to OC characters. They're going to be villains by the way. Be prepared for that.
Next chapter to be ready by tomorrow or next tomorrow.
Anyway till then, Read and Review.
Peace.
