A Different Stockpile

by Tactition101

Izuku had a Stockpiling Quirk Long before All Might ever laid eyes on him. It's just too bad no one his age or their teachers believed him when he first tried to tell them. Oh well, not his fault when they look like idiots when he debuts as a Hero.

5. Chapter 5

A Different Stockpile Ch 5

Author's Note: I plan to have most of this story done in segments comparable to an episode of the show. But I personally hate it when the USJ attack is split apart over several chapters and you have to wait weeks if not months to see how it ends. So I decided to cover it all in one chapter for you guys.

Previously:

Izuku frowned and started to take a step forward, hand instinctively beginning to curl into a finger gun only to flinch when Aizawa barked "Stay Back!"

As the students looked towards him they saw him slipping on a pair of yellow sunglass like goggles over his eyes. His statement of "This is real, those are Villains." Had several students flinch back in surprise.

'Not good.' Izuku thought as he saw a massive monster of a man with black skin, a beak for a mouth and an exposed brain step out and stop by a man with hands all over him. It looked like the students might be the ones needing rescuing now.

Story Start: USJ

As the Villains marched through the plaza towards the stairs, Kirishima said "What, Villains? No way! How'd they get in the school?!"

"Do you not see the giant ass portal they just came out of?!" Izuku demanded.

Said portal shrunk down into a human sized pillar of purplish black smoke, metallic bands wrapped around it where a person's neck would be and two yellow lines appearing that were presumably their eyes. It then said in a carrying tone of voice, almost like it wanted the teachers and students to hear it "The only real Heroes I see are Thirteen and Eraserhead. Perplexing, according to the schedule we retrieved from UA All Might should be here as well."

"So you scumbags used the press as a cover and snuck onto campus." Aizawa said with a scowl.

"Where is he?" The villain covered in hands asked "I went to the trouble of bringing so many friends eager to meet him. They want All Might, the great Symbol of Peace. I can't believe he's not here! Maybe if I kill a few kids he'll come out to play!"

Aizawa's scarf and hair floated upwards as he activated his Quirk in response to the Villain's words.

"Thirteen-Sensei, why aren't the alarms going off?" Yaomomo asked.

"Good question, I'm not sure." Thirteen said, helmet turning to look towards them.

"I've got no signal in my Heads Up Display." Izuku said, tapping at his mask as he continued "They've either got some kind of jamming equipment or someone with a Quirk that can do the same thing."

Aizawa tsked at that and said "Kaminari, try to use your Quirk to break through the jamming to contact the school, use frequencies 32.7 and 178.9. Those are the school's emergency low and high frequencies that someone is always monitoring."

"Yes sir!" Kaminari said, hand going to his radio set over his right ear.

"Are the villains only attacking here or is the whole campus under attack?" Todoroki wondered, frowning as he continued "Either way, they chose an isolated area as their entry point at a time when a class was being taught. They're fools for trespassing here, but they've thought this out. Whatever their plan for All Might is, they chose a time when he should have been isolated from the majority of the other Pros teaching here at the school."

"Thirteen, get the students out of here." Aizawa ordered.

"Sir, you can't take them all on, you're best at ambush and one on one when you can keep your Quirk focused on small numbers. There's too many to keep them all Erased." Izuku stated.

"You can't be a Hero if you're a one trick pony Midoriya." Aizawa stated.

Izuku's eyes narrowed behind his mask before he sighed and said "At least let me make it so that they don't see you coming."

Aizawa's eyebrow rose over his goggles and he asked "What'd you have in mind?"

Despite the situation, Izuku felt a savage grin form on his face as he asked "You know how fighter pilots like to hide in the sun when they attack in a dive?"

Aizawa gained a grin to match and said "Good idea. The moment I'm down there though you join the others in getting out of here." When Izuku nodded, Aizawa said "I'll leave it to you Thirteen."

Aizawa leapt forward and Izuku rose his arm up into the air, palm angled downward to the plaza. The next moment an entire summer's worth of sunlight erupted out of his palm, lighting up the plaza like it had stadium lights surrounding it and blazing the stored photons into the onlooking Villains' retinas. Almost the entire group let out shouts of pain as their hands automatically went to their eyes (only the exposed brain villain seemingly not reacting) and Aizawa took ruthless advantage as he landed among them.

Izuku watched Aizawa tear through the villains as they tried to blink the spots out of their eyes for a few moments and when he was sure none of the Villains had any immediate plans to try and take the stairs after the retreating students nodded to himself. Turning around, he ran to catch up with the others, bending down to scoop up the shorter Mineta as he did and putting him on his back.

"Thanks." Mineta muttered and Izuku hummed an acknowledgment as he came astride Aoyama and Hagakure, Asui right in front of them.

Before they could reach the exit though the Warper appeared. The yellow bars that were his eyes rapidly appeared and disappeared as he blinked but that didn't detract from the menace he practically radiated like that gaseous mist of his as he said "Come now students, it's rude to leave a party when it has just started, especially before introductions can be made. We are the League of Villains, I know it was impolite of us in turn, but we have invited ourselves into this bastion of heroics to say hello. And besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace to take his last breath? I believe he was supposed to be here today and yet I see no sign of him. There must have been some change in plans we could not foresee."

The villain's gaseous body seemed to unfold open like a great bird spreading its wings as he said "Ah, not that it matters, I still have a role to play after all."

Izuku heard a soft click from his spot in the back (his time spent analyzing videos of Thirteen helping him identify the sound as one of her finger caps opening) but before the teacher could act Bakugo and Kirishima leapt forward, the pair letting out war cries. There was an explosion and Izuku thought to himself 'Hope they aimed for that neck brace and not the body.'

As the smoke began to clear Kirishima asked "Did you really think we'd stand around and let you tear this place to shreds?!"

Unfortunately when the smoke cleared the Villain appeared completely unharmed as he mused "My, that was close. You two certainly show why you were accepted to this school with your willingness to act."

"You two, get out of the way." Thirteen ordered, but it was too late.

"But you should be careful before someone gets hurt. I'll scatter you throughout this facility to meet my comrades and your death!"

Purple smoke shot forward and Izuku immediately Stored Mineta, quickly slapping a hand to Aoyama's armored arm and grabbing Hagakure's glove an instant later, Storing them as well just before the smoke consumed him. He started Storing it as well as he reached for Asui only to see her form disappear. Gritting his teeth, Izuku stopped Storing the rushing mist hoping it would take him to the same area as her.

When he could see again, he immediately started falling. Spotting the water below that Asui was also falling towards, Izuku assumed the vertical sky diving position, head down and feet up, blasting stored air from his feet to quickly catch up to Asui. The girl had just slid her own goggles down in preparation for hitting the water when she let out a surprised 'Ribbit!' as Izuku pulled her against himself, one arm around her waist and the other going over the top of her head. A bare two feet from the water now, Izuku cut loose with more Stored air, forming a shell of rushing wind that broke apart the surface tension of the water ahead of them. The pair sank down several feet, the aerated water providing little to no buoyancy.

When Izuku cut off the air five seconds later, they could barely see each other they were so deep. Asui separated from him, pulling out an emergency air tank while Izuku brought out his electrolysis breathing apparatus. But when Asui started to swim upwards Izuku grabbed her arm and when she looked back at him shook his head. Trusting Izuku had a plan, she allowed him to gently tug her back against his side as he again wrapped his arm around her waist.

The next moment she understood Izuku's plan as she felt the water beginning to spin around them. He was Storing the water all around them, including what was beneath their feet, causing them to sink further. And what started as a gentle pull soon became a rip current as more and more water rushed in to fill the void. Within twenty seconds of starting there was a raging whirlpool around the two.

For the Villains who had been waiting for their prey, the whirlpool seemed to form out of nowhere and they panicked as they were dragged viciously through the water against their will, the circling rapidly disorienting them (not to mention making them almost lose their lunches) Asui watched as sixteen figures struggled in the water as they were pulled in increasingly shorter circles over them before they were dragged down and brought into Stockpile.

In the plaza, all of the fighting stopped when a roaring sound was heard. Both Villains and Hero alike looked to the Flood Zone as they followed the sound and saw rushing water. Seeing the forming whirlpool and the water level rapidly going down, Aizawa smirked. That was one student he didn't have to worry about at least. He took advantage of the nearest Villain's distraction to fold him over his fist before he began going through the rest.

Within a minute and a half the water level was barely a few feet deep revealing a pair of green figures. Once it was at shoulder height the pair began making their way up the slope of the man made lake. Taking quick leaps up the incline, they poked their heads over the lip of the pool and saw Aizawa handily knock out the last few 'mook' villains.

"Geeze, that took him what, three minutes to deal with everyone but those last two?" Izuku muttered.

"Guess that flash you made earlier really helped, ribbit." Asui said. That flash of light had been bright enough to extend the running students' shadows all the way to the doors when it happened.

The pair watched as Aizawa and the hand villain charged each other only for Aizawa to come out the worst from that bout. Seeing the large brute of a Villain moving behind Aizawa as he looked at his ruined elbow Izuku knew things were going to get bad.

"Sorry about this Tsu." Izuku said.

"Ribbit?!" Asui asked in surprise as Izuku put a hand on her shoulder and Stored her. The next moment he was zipping across the plaza. He got to Aizawa just as the 'final boss' reached for his arm. Izuku skidded to a stop a couple dozen feet past them with an arm around Aizawa.

Giving his teacher a sheepish smile, he said "Sorry about this Sensei, but you're injured."

"Midoriya don't-" Aizawa barked only to be Stored.

"Aw, it's no fun when the mob boss gets away before you can finish him off." The Hand Villain complained. But then he smiled dangerously and asked "I wonder what happens to those in the Transport when it's destroyed? Nomu! Knock that walking Inventory's block off!"

Izuku heard the word 'knock' and instantly knew what the villain wanted this 'Nomu' to do. As such, it gave him enough time to cross his arms in front of his head. The Nomu appeared right in front of him with fist resting against his crossed arms and Izuku's eyebrows shot skyward as he registered how that punch gave him almost the same amount of force as one of All Might's punches, off by a mere hundred pounds of force or so.

"What the?! How'd you Tank that?! Nomu's made to kill All Might!" The hand guy shouted.

Izuku put a smirk on his face and said "Nanomachines Son."

The hand villain's eye twitched at that but before he could say anything the Nomu screeched and began unleashing several dozen punches a second into Izuku's crossed arms, continuing to try to punch through to reach his head.

'Guess whatever process they used to 'make' this thing took away it's higher functions. It's like a robot constantly trying to go down a path its programming tells it to even though there's an obstruction in its way.' Izuku thought as his stores of force continued to climb. After that thought though Izuku called out "You hit like a girl! SMASH!"

Izuku pulled back a fist then let loose with the same amount of force as All Might first gave him all of those months ago. After all, if this Nomu was meant to take on All Might then he couldn't hold back on it. A shockwave erupted as his punch made contact, the air pressure rattling the overhead dome's paneling.

Well, his punch stopped the Nomu punching at him at least. But given that his own fist was resting against the Nomu's chest rather than blasting him back that was all that could be said. The Nomu let out a short screech as it looked down at the fist.

The hand villain let out a loud cackle and said "Nice one liner there kid, bet it would have been more action hero worthy if Nomu didn't have Shock Absorption added to his Skill List. And 'Smash'? Aren't you taking being a student of All Might just a bit too seriously? Nomu, DPS ain't working, go for crush damage."

Nomu shrieked and reached forward to bear hug the student and Izuku leapt back a couple dozen feet. Grinning savagely, Izuku made a finger gun and said "'Shock Absorption' huh? Let's see how literal that skill name is!"

KERACK!

It was just him, the Nomu, and the hand villain in the plaza, and the only metal was the fountain behind Izuku. Which meant that when Izuku let off with one of his Stored lightning bolts it shot straight forward into the Nomu's chest who let out the loudest shriek yet, dropping to the ground and spasming for a few seconds before going still.

"Oh that is some Kirby level bullshit right there! How the hell could an Inventory type store fucking LIGHTNING!?" The hand villain cursed. Izuku would have said something but his attention was grabbed by Nomu twitching before it pushed itself up with arms and smoothly stood upright.

"The fuck?" Izuku asked before he brought out a three pointer missile and threw it like an American football, the rocket propellant carrying it straight into Nomu's chest. There was a 'minor' explosion, but it caused enough damage to break the skin and Izuku watched as the damage quickly healed over.

The Cackling was back as the leader said "Don't know where you got the missile kid but Hyper Regeneration makes it useless."

"Well alright then." Izuku said before he was suddenly where the Nomu had been with hand outstretched.

"Wh, what the? Where'd Nomu go?!" The leader asked stunned.

Izuku gave him a savage grin and said "You said it yourself, I'm an Inventory you dumbass. I saw what your fancy bio machine could do and went 'Mine!' What, did you think I could only store inanimate objects and Friendlies?!"

"You stole my MVP." The leader muttered, hands coming up to scratch at his neck as he said "He was going to kill All Might and you kicked him from the server! You brat, you bastard! I'm going to make you pay for that!" The leader's hands dropped to his sides and he rushed towards Izuku only to get his head knocked back by a rubber bullet Izuku shot out of his finger (thank you one pointers) causing him to stumble and fall, though he managed to catch himself with his hands, causing the plaza floor to begin turning to dust around said hands.

The hand on the leader's face fell to the ground and he looked up at Izuku with a glare and a red mark on his forehead. Izuku took one look at the dry flaky skin and wrinkles and said "Wow, you're one ugly mother fucker, you know that? Here, let me see if I can clean that up a little."

Water shot out of Izuku's palm with the force of a fire hose and the leader barely had time for his eyes to widen before he was blasted backwards, skidding along the ground before he was sent over the lip of the flood zone and went tumbling down the incline into the water at the bottom.

Izuku leaned forward, ready to leap after him only to hear a loud shriek of "SENSEI!" from the direction of the stairs. Izuku spun around and took a massive leap in that direction, overshooting the stairs and rocketing up to the side of the massive dome. He twisted in the air and reabsorbed the force of his impact with the dome, using the brief moment before gravity reclaimed him to look at the walkway and see Thriteen laying on the floor with the back of her outfit torn apart, Ida, Shoji, Sato, Sero, Mina, and Ochako looking on in horror. The warp villain was still there and Izuku extrapolated that he had opened a warp gate when Thirteen had been using Black Hole. Now snarling, Izuku kicked off the dome and shot down to the pathway, landing by Thirteen in a crouch and startling Mina and Uraraka who were kneeling next to the teacher, both girls falling back in surprise.

Izuku quickly slapped Thirteen's arm Storing the injured teacher before whirling around onto his knee and releasing his 'zap pole' towards the Warper. If he could just make contact with that metal collar then he could drop him. But the Warper activated his Quirk and vanished as the pole lanced through his previous position.

"Damn it." Izuku muttered. Quickly standing, he looked all around trying to find him. When he didn't, he leapt for the top of the dome and hung from the rafter to get a literal bird's eye view. He found the Warper apparently talking with the leader by the water in the still mostly empty Flood Zone. A moment later the pair vanished. Izuku continued scanning the area from his perch but after a minute of not seeing any black gas or clothes had to assume that the pair had bugged out.

When Izuku kicked off and landed back with the students in the walkway Ida was no longer with the others and the door was open. As the other five students looked towards him he said "Smokey and Handsy seem to have booked it."

There were sighs of relief from four out of five of the students, Shoji simply nodding. Ochako then gained a worried look and asked "Midoriya, have you seen any of the others?"

Izuku nodded and said "I was able to grab a few before I was warped." So saying, he brought out Mineta, Aoyama, Hagakure, and Asui.

"Ugh, what happened?" Hagakure asked, glove coming up to seemingly rub at her forehead.

"I Stored you three guys when the Warper tried to scatter us." Izuku stated.

"Is Aizawa-Sensei alright?" Asui asked.

Izuku nodded and Unstored the teacher.

"-you dare!" Aizawa barked startling the others before he looked around and saw himself surrounded by half of his students. Reaching up with his good arm, he removed his goggles so that Izuku could see his glare as he said "That was completely irrational and monumentally reckless Midoriya."

"Considering I've got the big guy Stored and the other two ran, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one sir." Izuku stated.

Before Aizawa could retort there was a large surge of electricity over in the Mountain Side drawing everyone's attention.

"Hope that was Kaminari." Mina said quietly.

A moment later the three dots in Izuku's Heads Up Display turned into bars and he smirked as he said "Considering I just got signal back I'd say that was him overloading whatever jammer the Villains had."

Izuku's assumption was proven correct as Kaminari's voice came through a small speaker in the mask "Kaminari to UA, we've got Villains in the USJ!"

Putting a finger to the transmit button on his mask Izuku added "This is Midoriya, the Villains used a Warper to get in, that person and their leader have bugged out but the students were scattered to the different zones and both Aizawa and Thirteen are injured."

All Might's voice came over the line and said "I'm with Young Ida on the road to the USJ. I will send him on to the school and be there shortly."

Principal's Nezu's voice came next as he stated "Understood, the rest of us teachers shall make our way to the USJ as well. Midoriya, what is the condition of Thirteen and Aizawa?"

"From what I could tell, Thirteen got her Quirk turned against her. I didn't see the full damage before I Stored her but her back looked pretty messed up. Aizawa-"

"-Has a compromised elbow but otherwise is Combat Capable." Eraserhead stated flatly into his own radio, not showing any of the pain he surely must have been feeling considering the state of said elbow.

There was a burst of wind and All Might was suddenly with him as he declared "I am here!"

"All hostiles in the Mountain Zone have been neutralized, we're securing them now." Momo's voice came over the coms.

"Landslide Zone secured." Todoroki stated stoically.

"All the bastards in the busted up buildings have been dealt with." Bakugo said with a hint of violent satisfaction in his voice causing Izuku to roll his eyes.

Looking to All Might, he reported "Tsu and I were in the Flood Zone. I've got all the Villains that were there Stored."

"Along with the majority of the water from said Zone I see." All Might said in amusement while looking towards the artificial lake which was still only a quarter refilled.

"That just leaves the Conflagration and Windstorm Zones unaccounted for." Aizawa stated.

All Might nodded and said "I shall go to the Fire Zone then. Young Midoriya, take Young Asui and Young Shoji with you to the Windstorm Zone. Store all Villains you find and if any students require medical aid then them as well."

Aizawa scowled at that but remained silent.

"Yes sir." Izuku said with a nod. He held a hand each in Asui and Shoji's direction. Asui put her hand in his and Shoji grew a few extra segments to touch the hand held towards him. Storing his classmates, Izuku turned in the direction of the Windstorm Zone and leapt across the distance between it and the stairs, All Might doing the same towards the Conflagration Zone.

As the pair left, Aizawa put his hand back to his radio and said "All students who can hear this, begin making your way back to the entrance. The sooner we get a headcount the sooner we know who's still unaccounted for."

"You got it teach." Kaminari said followed by Todoroki's "Roger that." and Bakugo's "Yeah, yeah."

Scene Change: Kamino Ward, Kurogiri's Bar

Kurogiri opened a Warp Gate to his bar and Tomura Shigiraki came out cursing as he said "That goddamn Secret Boss Inventory Server Mod Brat! When I get my hands on him…"

The TV screen on one of the walls came on, Audio Only displayed on the screen as a voice said "I take it the mission didn't go according to plan?"

"Unfortunately not. All Might wasn't at the USJ like the schedule we acquired said and there was a rather troublesome student present as well." Kurogiri stated.

"Oh?" The voice asked.

Shigiraki began scratching at his neck as he ranted "Damn green Inventory kid, Completely no sold the ambush of the Flood Zone by removing the Hazard and the NPCs there, then he just swooped in and Med Evaced Eraserhead before Nomu could finish him off. And then the bastard took Nomu's punches like it was nothing before somehow throwing a punch like All Might at it. And when THAT didn't work he used FUCKING LIGHTNING against it. Damn bastard was using cheat codes. And then he stole Nomu!"

"Interesting." The voice mused.

A second voice said musingly "You called this person green. Green curly hair and eyes, had a lot of freckles?"

"You know who they are talking about Doctor?" The first voice asked.

"Maybe Sensei." The Doctor said before he asked "Well Tomura?"

Tomura grunted and said "I was talking about his costume. Brat had a hood and mask on all the time, didn't see his hair or eyes. Eraserhead called him Midoriya though."

"Midoriya Izuku." Doctor said before giving a chuckle and said "Well, I dare say it's nice to know that I was right about the lad."

"Care to elaborate Doctor?" Sensei asked.

Doctor proceeded to do so as he stated "I saw the kid when he was four. He has a Stockpiling Quirk, though not the common kind. He's able to store things. Back when I saw him he couldn't even fit more than an inch of the pen we used to test it. But I had theorized that his storage space could grow bigger with either time or practice, and that what he stored didn't have to be a solid material either. It looks like his Quirk has grown wonderfully! I can only imagine how large and varied his 'donation to our cause' would be if you were to take his Quirk in the future!"

In a darkened room, an evil smile grew as Sensei said sinisterly "Excellent."

Scene Change: USJ

The rest of the UA Pro Hero Staff and the police had swarmed the USJ, as had a number of ambulances. Izuku was being metaphorically pulled in at least four different directions. As Class President he needed to make sure the students were safe. But he also had to give a statement, had several Villains Stored, needed to get Thirteen to medical attention before he could bring her out, and he needed to see if anything could be done with the sample of Warp Gate he had acquired.

Thankfully Yaomomo was willing to handle the first so that was one thing off his plate. Right now, he was standing in front of Power Loader and Nezu.

"What have you got for us Midoriya?" Power Loader asked.

Midoriya held up a hand and said "When the Warper was separating us I managed to grab a sample of his Quirk Medium." A small wisp of purplish black vapor came off his hand and he said "I've got enough Stored to fill a few standard spray bottles. I figure if we can find some way to scan it we could possibly track him down, or at least know if he ever shows up here again."

"Excellent work Midoriya!" Principal Nezu praised with arms raised high.

Power Loader nodded and said "I'll have a containment unit ready by the time you students return to class. The equipment to scan it will be a bit trickier but you let me worry about that."

Midoriya nodded then moved to where the arrested Villains were being escorted into prisoner transports. One by one he Unstored the Villains from the Flood and Windstorm Zones for the police to cuff. The last one out was the Nomu, and while he and the teachers were ready to act the moment it so much as twitched wrong, it thankfully obeyed the police officers' commands and was quickly secured.

With prisoners handed over, Izuku followed an officer to his cruiser and slid into the passenger seat as the officer started the car. He'd take the student to the main campus building to change out of his costume and grab his things. Then he'd take Izuku to the hospital where Thirteen would be tended to while getting his statement before escorting him home.

Scene Change: Principal Nezu's Office, That Evening

Nezu stared out of the window of his office at the sunset, paws held behind his back. Sitting on a couch, All Might in his shrunken form said "I can't be sure until tomorrow but I think I lost about twenty minutes in my other form."

"Unfortunate, but certainly something we can work around when it comes to planning out your lessons with the students." Nezu stated.

"Yeah. And I bet it would have been a lot worse if I had to fight that Nomu thing instead of just securing the Conflagration Zone." All Might mused.

"Yes, we're fortunate Midoriya has such a versatile Quirk and that he was in a position to deal with that creature." Nezu said with a tiny nod before he turned his head to look over his shoulder and said "But his report of the Nomu having multiple Quirks is deeply concerning. I don't think I need to tell you why."

All Might's hands clenched as he frowned and said "He's back."
