So I had to get this chapter out as a little present for you all, hope you enjoy it! So without further adieu let's just jump into it!
No Choice
Ochaco was nervous, even though she didn't do anything wrong per say, she was still nervous. Right now she was being escorted to principal Nezu's office. Stopping at the door she took a deep breath and knocked, "Come in."
Opening the door Ochaco entered to find Nezu sitting behind his desk. To his left Aizawa, and to his right an injured All Might stood, almost as if they were guarding him, "Please have a seat Uraraka. We just wish to ask you some questions about the other night."
Ochaco nodded and nervously sat on the chair across from Nezu, "So what do you want to know?"
"For starters let's talk about how you were able to find out where Midoriya was before any hero," said Aizawa.
"I know people," said Ochaco without giving anything away.
Aizawa sighed, knowing that she wouldn't say more than that, "Alright then what were you doing with him?"
Ochaco blushed slightly as she thought back to last night's events, especially atop the hill. "W-We just talked about what we did over the last month."
"Okay, do you know where he is going now?" asked Nezu.
"No, he didn't say. I can only imagine it's somewhere far away from you guys." said Ochaco.
The heroes looked at each other, "Can you tell us anything about what Midoriya had been doing over the last month? Anyone that he mentioned, a place, anything." asked All Might.
Ochaco looked away, "There are two things that had me worried that he mentioned…"
"Please Uraraka, we have to know," said Aizawa.
Turning to the heroes, they could see sadness in her eyes, "During the time Izuku was missing he apparently tried to kill himself." The heroes couldn't believe it. "Obviously he didn't succeed but just the fact that he tried to is what has me worried. Izuku needs help, real help."
A massive wave of guilt hit the heroes, Nezu hung his head, "My god, what have we done."
"You said there were two things that worried you, what was the second?" asked All Might.
"Shigaraki from the league of villains visited Izuku, they are actively trying to bring him to their side." The heroes' hearts dropped to the floor when they heard that. "He'd refused but only because they wouldn't let Izuku kill the doctor. If they gave him the doctor, I'm sure Izuku would join them."
Aizawa turned to All Might, "If that happens…"
All Might clenched his fist, "If that happens All For One will have the greatest weapon in the world at his disposal."
That's when Ochaco began to piece things together, "Wait, the file, it said Izuku was made to be a weapon. But it never mentioned who he would be used against. Are you saying that Izuku was made to kill you, All Might?"
"There's no point in hiding it now, not from you. Yes, Midoriya was made to kill me. The experiments on him were because of one man, All For One. He is my arch nemesis and the most dangerous man on this planet. I fought him once and won but my body was badly damaged." All Might relaxed his body and in a puff of smoke he transformed into his skinny form. "This is my true form, and this is the scar that All For One left behind."
Lifting the side of his shirt Ochaco was disgusted to see a large wound. "Apart from severe damage to my body, my entire stomach had to be removed, and my digestive system is crippled. Now I can only be a hero for about 2 hours, and any damage I take in a fight shortens the time. All For One must have known this and made Izuku to kill me. He almost did last night but he deliberately missed my weak spot."
Ochaco was shocked to say the least, "I-I don't know what to say. This is all so much to take in."
"That's why we need to know where Midoriya is. If he told you anything, left any clues, now is the time to tell us." Pleaded Aizawa.
"Sorry, but he really didn't say anything. I asked if we'd see each other again and he said yes but that's about it." Said Ochaco.
"There's another thing we have to worry about." Said Nezu. "Midoriya is strong physically, but mentally is a different story. Right now his mind is broken, and a broken mind is easily controlled. If All For One finds a way to control Midoriya, then it will spell disaster."
That's when Aizawa remembered last night, "Uraraka, last night you managed to stop Midoriya from killing All Might. You used a gun, but you just said he survived trying to kill himself. What was different?"
Ochaco didn't want to say anything, but the thought of Izuku being controlled scared her. "The difference was the bullet. Normal bullets won't do, so the gun had an adamantium bullet, the same metal Izuku's bones are fused with. Izuku took it from the doctor when they attacked the USJ. According to Izuku, one good shot to the head will do the trick."
"But you gave him the only one, now the only one capable of killing Midoriya, is himself." Said Nezu.
Ochaco couldn't tell them about the one she still had, 'They can't know that I have the other bullet.'
"What do we do now?" Asked All Might.
"Now we go on as usual. We'll give Midoriya some space, let him cool off. For now Uraraka, please get ready for the training camp. You leave in a few days after all." Said Nezu.
Ochaco nodded, "Right, I'll just leave now." Bowing Ochaco walked out of Nezu's office.
"So are you going to call them?" Asked Aizawa.
"Not yet. It may be a long shot, but maybe we can still talk Midoriya into turning himself in. But in order for that to happen we have to find him. I just hope we find him first." Said Nezu.
A few days later
Ochaco and the rest of class 1A were currently on a bus on their way to the campsite. There they would train to improve their quirks and bodies. "Man, I'm so excited for this!" Said Mina
"It is quite the challenge." Said Momo.
"I can already tell this is going to be hell." Said Jiro.
"To think they would have both hero courses together for this, Ribbit." Said Tsu.
That's when Mina grew a sly grin, "Speaking of together. Hey Ochaco!" All of the girls turned to Ochaco who was currently looking out the window.
Hearing her name Ochaco looked back to see all the girls looking at her, "Huh? What?"
"Don't act dumb with us, you told us yourself. You and Midoriya are a thing now right?" Asked Toru.
Ochaco blushed, "Well, yeah we are."
Mina let out a high pitched squeal, "You are going to give us details when we get to camp!"
"I still can't believe you found him," said Momo.
"It wasn't easy, I'd been looking for him almost every day and sometimes I would spend the nights looking too." explained Ochaco. "I was so happy to see him, but now, now I don't know where he went again"
That's when Mina wrapped her arm around Ochaco, "If you found him once, you can find him again. Don't worry Ochaco you'll see him again."
"So how was Midoriya anyway?" asked Jiro.
"He was alright for the most part, still a bit rough around the edges but alright. I just hope he finds a place to sleep, the place I found him wasn't the best." said Ochaco.
That's when the bus they were on suddenly slowed down and stopped at the edge of a cliff, "Alright everyone out." ordered Aizawa.
Looking outside the window Ochaco was confused, "Why here? We are still miles from the campsite, no?"
With Izuku, Unknown City
Izuku was currently walking down the street wearing a jacket and hood to cover his face. He already found a place to sleep that wasn't a shack buthe was still always looking behind his shoulder. Always on alert for any hero or officer who was trying to catch him.
Making it to his apartment Izuku put down the groceries that he went to buy with the money he earned from cage fighting. He looked at the calendar and remembered that Ochaco was going to be on the training camp one of these days. "I wonder how camp is going?"
With Ochaco
"This camp sucks!" yelled out Ochaco as she and her entire class were being chased by several rock monsters.
Back with Izuku
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Izuku decided to sleep for a while. The sun was still out but after being on edge all night and all morning he was tired. Walking over to the next room Izuku threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep.
Izuku didn't like to sleep because he knew once he closed his eyes the nightmares would come back and today was no different.
Sitting down on his desk Izuku had his head down, "Hey Izuku, wake up. Class is over."
Looking up Izuku found Ochaco in her school uniform, "Oh hey Ochaco, guess I slept through the entire class again."
Ochaco laughed, "You always do that. Do you not get enough sleep at home?"
Izuku got up, "It's not that, it's just I've been having nightmares recently."
The two then walked out of the class room and towards the train station. There they waited for the train to arrive, "So are we still on for this friday?" asked Ochaco.
Izuku tilted his head, "Friday? What for?"
Ochaco pouted, "Our anniversary! It's been a year since we got together. Did you really forget?"
"N-No! I was just testing you. And yes, we are still on for friday. Don't worry, I have something very special planned." said Izuku with a smile.
"Good, then I can't wait then!" Izuku smiled as he looked at Ochaco. However, that happiness quickly disappeared when he heard a familiar voice.
"Well isn't that nice. How about a hand for the young couple?" turning Izuku saw a hand reach out and grab Ochaco by the neck. His eyes widened in pure horror as Ochaco began to turn to ash right before his eyes.
"OCHACO!" he yelled out. Turning around he tried to pop his claws without checking who it was. Izuku stabbed his claws into the person's stomach.
With rage behind his eyes Izuku looked at the person and noticed that it was Shigaraki. "You bastard! Why did you do that!?"
With a twisted smile Shigaraki spoke, "To prove that you are nothing but a monster that kills and gets people killed. If you weren't around that girl would still be alive. You are nothing but a monster."
Izuku then twisted his claws, "Go to hell!"
With blood running down his lip Shigaraki struggled to breathe, "Oh I'm sure I will, but you are already in it."
"W-What?" That's when the image of Shigaraki disappeared and in his place appeared Ochaco.
Looking down, Izuku noticed that his claws were digging into her, "No no no, I didn't mean to, I…"
Retracting his claws Izuku grabbed Ochaco and gently placed her on the floor, blood poured down the wounds as Izuku tried desperately to stop it. "Ochaco please don't die on me!"
With what little strength she had left, Ochaco managed to reach out and touch Izuku's face. "W-Why did you do this? Why? This is all your fault."
Tears began to well up in Izuku's eyes as he felt Ochaco's hand fall and hit the ground. "Ochaco? Hey come on, don't do this. Please, I'm sorry. Come back!"
Holding Ochaco's lifeless body in his arms Izuku let out a scream of pure anguish, one that can only come when someone you love dies.
That's when Izuku suddenly opened his eyes in the real world, sweat poured down his forehead as he breathed heavily. Looking down Izuku noticed that he did pop his claws in his sleep. Slowly retracting them Izuku breathed a huge sigh of relief when he knew that it was all a dream. "J-Just a dream, it was just a dream." looking out the window Izuku noticed that it was starting to get dark. "How long was I asleep for?" He looked at a clock on the wall which displayed the time and day. Izuku then noticed that he had slept for a whole day. "I was asleep for more than 24 hours? Whatever, I need a shower."
Getting up from the bed Izuku made his way to the bathroom and took a shower. However once he got out a familiar smell filled the air. Wrapping a towel around himself, Izuku walked out to the living room where he found Shigaraki sitting down on the sofa. "Here to recruit me again, Shigaraki?" asked Izuku.
"Yes, has your answer changed?" asked Shigaraki.
Walking over to the fridge Izuku grabbed a can of soda, "No, not unless you bring me the doctor."
Shigaraki chuckled, "Once again, you know we can't do that. But this time I have something to offer you, something that you can't refuse."
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Oh, and what would that be?"
"A life." said Shigaraki.
"A life? What are you talking about?" asked Izuku.
"I'm talking about that brown haired girl in UA, what was her name again? Oh right, Ochaco Uraraka." Izuku's blood ran cold. Shigaraki smiled, "To think she would be your greatest weakness."
Izuku's pupil's dilated, "What did you do!?"
Shigaraki put up his hands, "Me, nothing. You know that class 1A will be at a campsite today right? Well my associates have orders to capture the girl."
Izuku popped his claws and jumped at Shigaraki but before he could get in close a black portal opened up in front of him. Izuku fell in only to reappear in the kitchen, "I wouldn't waste my time kid, in 3 hours my associates will move in and capture her. Once we do, you will join us whether you like it or not."
Izuku growled, "Not if I save her first!"
Standing up Shigaraki smiled, "You are welcome to try but the only ones who know where they went are myself and the heroes at UA. And we both know they are looking for you, so who will you turn to for help? Us, or the heroes? The choice is yours. You still have the device I gave you right, call me when you've made your choice."
Disappearing into a portal Izuku was left alone in the apartment, "Damn it! I have to track them down." Going into the other room, Izuku went to the closet and looked inside. There he found something that he hoped that he wouldn't have to put back on, his hero costume. Ever since he left Izuku both wanted and feared to put the costume back on. Most of the time Izuku put on his costume, someone would die, and this time would be no different. But this was to save Ochaco so he had to, he had to put it on. If he wasn't going to put it on for her then why the hell was he even here then.
Putting on his costume Izuku took a deep breath as he pulled down the mask, "It's now or never."
Izuku quickly made his way to the highest place he could find in the city. Looking down he could see people walking down the street, hear car engines, and smell just about everything. Thanks to Izuku's trips in the mountains he was able to smell from very far away, smelling the air Izuku separated and filtered out the other smells. After a few seconds he got it, Ochaco's scent. "There you are." Turning towards the west Izuku now knew what direction to go. "Still, even at my top speed I might not make it. No I can't think like that, I will make it in time."
Looking down at the street below Izuku saw someone getting out of their car, "That will do." Jumping down, Izuku landed right in front of the man, scaring him half to death. "Give me your keys now!" ordered Izuku as he popped his claws.
The man, scared, reached into his pocket and handed Izuku the keys. "I'll try to bring it back." with that Izuku got inside and turned the car on, stepping on the gas Izuku took off as fast as he could.
By his calculations Izuku should make it within the three hours to Ochaco's location, that is, if nothing went wrong. But as fate would have it not even 20 minutes in the police started chasing him, "Oh fuck off, I don't have time for you!" Waiting for one of the cars to pull up next to him, Izuku turned the steering wheel hard, crashing into the cop car and forcing it against the guardrail.
The wheels grinded against the metal railing and after a few seconds the tires exploded causing the cop car to spin out. Seeing that Izuku wasn't playing around the cop cars backed off, looking in the mirror Izuku thought he finally had some breathing room. "Good, I can finally get there in time."
Little did Izuku know that the reason why they backed off was because they had called in some help. As Izuku zoomed down the highway he heard a loud boom, "Oh no." That's when something came crashing down in front of the car. The car slammed into the object and came to a sudden stop, as a result of not wearing his seatbelt Izuku was flung forward and went through the glass. The car was completely destroyed as it burst into flames and exploded.
Hitting the pavement hard, Izuku rolled for several meters before propping himself up and with the help of his claws, he slid to a stop. Looking up, pieces of glass were seen stuck into Izuku's face, but thanks to his healing factor they soon popped off, "Great, now you're here."
"Stealing cars now Midoriya? That's just a pity." said All Might as he stood in the middle of the highway.
"I don't have time for this All Might." said Izuku.
"Sorry but this time I can't let you go. You are coming with me back to UA." said All Might as he walked towards Izuku.
"Like that's ever going to happen. But there's a reason why I'm in a hurry. If I don't hurry towards Ochaco she'll be in grave danger." said Izuku.
All Might stopped, "Explain, now."
"It's the league, they are after class 1A. I have to reach them before they do." Explained Izuku.
"That's impossible, we changed the location of the camp at the last second. No one but those in UA should know. And why do you need to stop them? Aizawa and Vlad are there if anything happens." Said All Might, not believing what Izuku was saying
"Then it seems to me that you guys have a mole. Please All Might, if they manage to get Ochaco…" However before he could finish a wall of flames erupted in front of him. "Not another one!"
Looking back Izuku saw the number two hero Endeavor walking towards him. "Izuku Midoriya, stay where you are. Your time of eluding capture is over."
Izuku turned his head towards All Might, "Please, I'll give myself up after just let me go save Ochaco."
All Might was conflicted, he could tell Izuku wasn't lying but to let him go when he's right in front of him. 'What should I do? With Endeavor here there's no easy way out.'
Izuku readied his claws to fight Endeavor, "First a quick burn should slow you down. You heal but while you do I'll take you out!" Throwing his hand forward Endeavor let out a massive ball of fire.
Izuku's eyes widened as he prepared to take the heat but to his surprise a powerful gust of wind pushed the flames back. "What are you doing!?' asked Endeavor.
Now standing in front of Izuku, was All Might, "Making sure you don't stop him. Young Midoriya, I know that this won't make up for what we did to you. But at least this way I can start making amends. Go, I'll slow down Endeavor. Get to the forest."
Izuku nodded, "Thank you All Might, I won't forget this." Running towards the edge of the highway, Izuku jumped over the wall and landed on the surface streets. There he found a motorcycle and once again borrowed it. Izuku now rumbled his way towards class 1A as fast as he could.
With Ochaco, 2 hours and 40 minutes later
Ochaco was currently grabbing onto Tsu as they walked into the forest. This was a test of courage, something that the pro hero team, The Wild Wild Pussycats came up with. "Not good in the dark Ochaco?" Asked Tsu.
"N-Not really. Especially not with all the jump scares." Said Ochaco.
"It will be fine, we'll just get past this and head back to camp." However as the two walked down the path Tsu began to smell something. "Do you smell that?"
Ochaco sniffed the air, "Yeah, it smells like smoke." That's when the two girls could see blue flames rising up from the tree line. "The forest is on fire! What's going on?"
"I don't know, but we should head back with the others." Said Tsu, Ochaco agreed and the two turned and ran towards the others.
However, that's when Ochaco remembered something, "Wait, the kid, Kota! He's still out here somewhere. Remember, Mandalay said he was near the mountain."
"We can worry about him later, he should be fine where he is." Said Tsu.
"But what if he isn't." That's when Ochaco stopped, "I'll go look for him, you head back to the others and tell them."
Before Tsu could protest, Ochaco had already run into the forest once again. Using her quirk on herself Ochaco jumped into the air and floated towards the mountain.
Kota, a small boy with a red hat and cousin of the pro hero Mandalay who is part of the hero group Wild Wild Pussycats stood at the edge of the mountain looking at the forest burning below. "W-What's going on?!"
As he looked at the destruction Ochaco floated down towards him, "Kota, are you alright?" Ochaco landed, "Come on, we need to go."
However Kota refused, "No, leave me alone. I can't trust any of you wannabe heroes."
Ochaco stopped, she recognized that look in Kota's eyes, "You know, you remind me a lot of my boyfriend. He was a student at UA but after the heroes lied to him he left. He too doesn't trust the heroes."
"Really? What happened to him?" asked Kota.
"They refused to tell him the truth. He had a troubled past, and all he wanted was to know the truth, to know what really happened. But the heroes lied, and because of that he left. Now he's on the run, confused, scared, but he trusts one thing." said Ochaco.
Kota looked at Ochaco, "What?"
Ochaco smiled, "He trusted me. I may not understand what you or Izuku may be going through but I do know that I can help. So will you let me help you?"
Kota hesitated but after a few seconds he nodded, "Alright, just this once."
"One time is all I need. Come on, I'll float us down." Just as Ochaco was about to use her quirk on Kota a voice was heard from the rocks.
"Well isn't that nice." That's when a tall man wearing a trench coat appeared. "That was almost touching, but right now you two have bigger things to worry about. It must be my lucky day, the person we were looking for is right here. I was just going to kill the kid, but now, now I'm going to have some fun."
Ochaco put her arm out to protect Kota, "Get behind me."
"Come on girly, do you honestly believe you can take me?" That's when the man suddenly lunged at Ochaco, punching her right in the ribs. The impact was so hard that it sent her flying towards the mountain.
Ochaco hit the mountain so hard that it partially caved in and crumbled around her. Kota was horrified, "oops, guess I shouldn't have hit her that hard. As long as she isn't dead it's fine. But you on the other hand, you're dead kid."
The man walked toward the boy, grabbing the trench coat, he ripped it off to reveal that he was wearing a black tank top and military style pants. His most memorable feature was his eye, one of them was a prosthetic. Kota recognized that eye, "Y-Your eye…you're Muscular!"
"Hmmm, oh this. I got it from fighting some two weak ass heroes." Explained Muscular.
"You killed my parents!" Yelled out Kota.
Muscular looked down at Kota, "Wait so you're there kid?" Muscular then gave a twisted smile, "It must be fate then, guess I get to kill all the family now!" That's when muscle fibers began to appear throughout Muscular's body, so much so that they bulged out.
Raising his arm high, Muscular was ready to kill Kota, but before he could a large rock came in and hit the villain in the head. "What the!"
Looking over he saw that Ochaco had gotten up. Blood ran down her face as she touched the broken rocks around her. "G-Get away from him!"
"Well well well, looks like you still have some fight in you. Fine if you're so eager I'll deal with you first. They said they wanted you alive, they never said what condition to bring you back in!" Muscular then charged at Ochaco.
Ochaco grabbed the rocks floating in mid air and flung them as hard as she could towards the villain. But thanks to the muscle fibers the rocks either broke on impact or bounced right off.
That's when Muscular came in and punched downward, Ochaco instinctively used her quirk to jump back. While in the air she twisted her body and managed to land a kick to Muscular's face. "Is that all you got? You're so weak!"
Grabbing Ochaco's leg, Muscular proceeded to slam her against the floor over and over again. With every hit Ochaco spit out blood as her organs were being damaged. 'H-He's too strong.'
After slamming her a few more times Muscular stopped and checked to see if she was still alive. Bruised and broken, Ochaco indeed still alive, "Good, you're still alive. I would have hated it if you kicked the bucket on me. Now you can watch the kid die with your own eyes."
Dropping her, Ochaco laid on the floor motionless as blood ran down a large cut over her face. Her vision was blurry but she could barely make out the silhouette of Kota. "R-Run, Kota, run."
But to her surprise the kid wouldn't go, instead he put out his hand and fired water at Muscular. "Get away from us!"
"Water? Thanks, now I don't have to take a shower. Well it's been fun kid, but time for you to meet your parents!" Transforming his fist Muscular brought it down towards Kota.
However, just as he was inches away Muscular heard something. "Huh, what is that noise? It almost sounds like…"
That's when a motorcycle jumped from the cliff side into the air. It's engine roared as it landed, screeching to a halt Muscular could see someone riding atop of it. "Who the hell are you?"
As the dust cleared a SNIKT sound was heard, "You're worst fucken nightmare."
Getting off the bike Izuku stood with his claws out and his costume on. Izuku looked off to the side and saw Ochaco on the floor, "Ochaco!"
Running towards her, Izuku checked to see if she was still breathing, which she was. "Sorry I didn't make it in time."
Ochaco weakly reached out and touched Izuku's face, "I-I'm so glad you're here. The kid, save the kid."
Izuku nodded, "Alright, just hang on. Once I deal with him, we'll get you some help." Ochaco nodded and closed her eyes, 'She's just asleep, but these injuries. He did this? He did this! He did this! HE DID THIS!'
Placing Ochaco's hand gently on the floor Izuku stood up. "So you're the Wolverine huh? You don't look like much, honestly I expected more." Muscular then pointed at Izuku, "Well now that you're here, we can get on to the main event. The boss didn't say what to do with you, so I'll just have to kill you!"
As Muscular smiled he suddenly heard the sound of slicing. "Huh?" He then noticed Izuku was gone, "Where did you go?"
Turning around Muscular found Izuku with his back turned, "Hey you! Stay still so I could kill you." As Muscular tried to point he came to a sudden realization that his hand was gone, blood poured out at the now severed hand. Looking down, Muscular saw his own hand right by Izuku's feet.
As the pain finally registered, Muscular let out a blood screeching scream. "FUCK! MY ARM! MY FUCKEN ARM!"
Izuku once again moved in, this time he jumped and grabbed Muscular by the face and slammed him to the ground. The ground beneath began to crack from the shear impact, "You hurt my girl. That's something you won't live to regret, because I'm going to kill you. But not before I make you suffer."
With his free hand Izuku stabbed his claws into Muscular's shoulder and then proceeded to twist. Which severed all the muscle fibers in his arm in the process, thanks to Izuku's hand only the muffled anguished screams of Muscular were heard.
That's when Izuku retracted his claws and began to punch Muscular, over and over again. Muscular could do nothing but lay there and take the hits. With each hit blood would splatter across the dirt, soon Izuku's knuckles were now completely covered in blood.
Now a broken and bloody mess Izuku could hear Muscular whizzing, "Not so tough now huh."
Izuku then placed his fist under Muscular's chin, "This is for the boy's parents."
Muscular's eyes widened as he heard the SNIKT sound. Izuku's claws had pierced Muscular's skull, killing him instantly. Getting up Izuku turned and slowly retracted his claws, there he found Kota helping Ochaco up.
Walking over he gave Kota a helping hand, "I got her kid."
Kota looked up to see Izuku's face, "So you're the boyfriend huh."
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, come on, let's get off of this mountain." With Ochaco in his arms the three then began to run down the mountain. As he ran Izuku turned to the boy, "Hey kid, sorry about Muscular. I know you wanted some revenge."
Kota shook his head, "It's fine, as long as he won't hurt anyone ever again it's fine with me."
"You're a pretty smart kid huh. Hey, thanks for sticking up for Ochaco it means a lot." Kota nodded. "Good, let's pick up the pace, get on my back. We are regrouping with the others."
Kota then jumped onto Izuku's back, now secure Izuku tightened his grip on Ochaco and took off. Izuku dodged trees and he weaved back and forth through the forest, "How can you do that? It's almost pitch black?" Asked Kota.
"I can see in the dark really well, almost as well as I do when the sun's out." Said Izuku. Sniffing the air Izuku got the scent of Aizawa, "Looks like Aizawa is close. We'll head towards him."
Elsewhere Aizawa ran through the forest looking for Ochaco, "Come on Tsu said you were somewhere near the mountain."
That's when Izuku slid to a stop in front of the hero, "Midoriya? What are you doing here?" That's when Aizawa saw Kota and a badly injured Ochaco in his arms, "How are they?"
Kota got off of Izuku's back, "The kid is fine, it's Ochaco I'm worried about, she's in real bad shape."
"Alright, I'll take the kid, follow me I'll take you to base camp. There we can give her some first aid." Explained Aizawa. However, just as Izuku was about to move, he heard something behind him.
Turning around Izuku could see someone come flying towards him. "Found you." Said the person as they plunged a knife into Izuku's chest.
Izuku grunted out in pain as the person twisted the knife. Throwing his head forward Izuku tried to headbutt the person but they jumped away at the last second.
Landing a few meters away was a girl with messy blond hair, golden yellow eyes, and wore a sailor uniform. "So you're the one with the blood that has me…" the girl then hugged herself and trembled with excitement. "...So excited! Give me some of your blood."
"You are one crazy bitch aren't you?" Asked Izuku.
Removing a mask around her mouth the girl let out a twisted smile, "I'm not crazy! I'm Himiko Toga! It's nice to meet you."
"Well Toga, I hate to break it to you but I already have a girlfriend so if you'd kindly fuck off, that'd be great." Said Izuku.
Toga then pulled out a syringe that was attached to a long tube, "That's fine, she can join us too!"
Izuku narrowed his eyes, "I'm giving you a chance Toga, walk away."
Toga's smile then dropped from her face and turned to one of hatred, "That's not very nice, looks like I'll have to punish you."
"So be it then. Aizawa, whoever these guys are, they are after Ochaco. Do not under any circumstance let her out of your sight." Izuku then walked over to his former teacher and handed Ochaco over to him.
Aizawa was surprised but he grabbed Ochaco nonetheless, "I'll head back to the basecamp, once you are done here, meet us back there."
Izuku nodded, "Sounds like a plan, now go." Aizawa took off with Ochaco and Kota, looking back Izuku turned his attention to Toga. "Now where were we?"
SNIKT Izuku was now ready for anything Toga threw at her. "We were just at the part where I take your blood." Said Toga pointing the syringe at Izuku.
"Come and get it." Said Izuku, challenging the girl.
Toga then ran at Izuku, swinging her needle she tried to stab Izuku, only to have him dodge out of the way. Seeing his chance Izuku threw his claws down, Toga saw it coming however and did a backflip at the last second. "You're a nimble one aren't you?" Asked Izuku.
"And you're pretty fast with those claws. You're just like me aren't you? I can tell, those claws have so much blood on them! How many have you killed?" Asked Toga.
Izuku looked down at his claws, "I'm nothing like you."
Toga giggled, "No? Then why aren't you with the school. If you were really different, then you wouldn't be here. I can smell it on you, the blood of countless people. You really are a monster."
Izuku gritted his teeth, "Shut up."
"Oh did I strike a nerve? Don't like being called a monster, well too bad. It takes one to know one, and you certainly are one." Izuku roared in rage as he ran towards Toga. He tried to slash her across the chest, but Toga dodged at the last second. "Your moves become predictable when you're angry. That makes you an easy target."
Toga then jumped at Izuku, but before she could stab a needle into him. The sound of flesh being pierced was heard. Looking down, Toga saw Izuku's claws stabbed into her guts.
Izuku had caught her mid air, and was currently holding her with his claws. "Who said I was predictable? I was just luring you in."
Blood ran down Toga's mouth as she felt the pain. "Well, at least I was able to do it."
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Do what?"
Toga smiled, "Distract you." All of a sudden Toga's body began to melt. It wouldn't be long until Toga was nothing but a pile of brown mush.
"A fake? Then where's the real one?" Izuku then turned around and faced where Aizawa ran. "Oh no, this was all a decoy!" Izuku then ran into the forest as fast as he could, following Ochaco's scent.
Looking ahead Izuku could see a clearing coming up. As he emerged from the tree's a ball of blue fire appeared, with no time to dodge Izuku took the fire head on.
The resulting fire knocked him down, causing him to roll on the ground. Now with half of his costume and skin burned off Izuku got up to see a man with scars on his face. "Well well well, so this is the guy Shigaraki was talking about."
The burns on Izuku's skin quickly healed, "Who the hell are you supposed to be? And where is Ochaco?"
"The name is Dabi, and the girl…" motioning behind him, a man wearing a mask and top hat appeared holding what appeared to be a marble.
"Looking for her?" Asked the masked man.
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw that Ochaco was inside the little marble. "Give her back!"
The masked man threw the ball into the air before catching it, "Sorry but we have our orders. The girl stays with us."
Izuku took a step forward, but stopped when Dabi activated his fire. "Take another step and I'll burn her. She was already beat up, I wonder what would happen if I burned her a little."
As Izuku thought up of a way to get Ochaco back he got a familiar scent. "You better not miss."
"The two villains looked at each other, "What are you talking about?" However, that's when it happened.
"Die!" Appearing from the tree's Bakugo rocketed towards the mask villain. Now in point blank range Bakugo fired off an explosion that knocked the marble right out of the villain's hand.
Izuku quickly ran towards the marble, Dabi was about to let out his fire when all of a sudden, a wall of ice appeared in front of him. "Damn it!" Todoroki had arrived.
Jumping into the air Izuku reached out for the marble. He was inches away when a sword pierced Izuku's stomach. "Ha! I got him!" Said a lizard looking villain with a lot of weapons behind him. "Thanks for the help Magne!"
The villain known as Spinner had just stabbed Izuku. Taking him to the ground blood splattered across the dirt as he twisted the blade. "Get off of me!"
Spinner just smiled, "Sorry, but you're staying here."
Izuku looked up to see the marble falling, and the masked man once again reached out for it, 'I need to reach Ochaco before they get her back! I could ask Bakugo and Todoroki for help but they are being held up by Dabi. What should I do!?'
Just as the man was about to reach Ochaco a white laser shot out of the forest and hit Spinner. The laser managed to knock the villain off of Izuku, he then saw another laser beam hit the masked man in the face. This caused the marble to pop and release Ochaco, 'Is that, Aoyama!? This is my chance, I can't waste it!'
Grabbing the sword, Izuku quickly pulled it out of himself. Getting up he got a running start and once again jumped into the air. This time however Izuku managed to catch her, "I got you."
Ochaco opened her eyes and smiled, "You better."
Landing on the ground Izuku held Ochaco in his arms, "This time I won't let go."
Just as Izuku was about to leave, a needle attached to a tube came flying in, stabbing him in the back. Izuku flinched in pain, "Izuku?"
Turning his head Izuku found that it was Toga, "Fuck, hold on tight we have to move."
"Oh Izuku, why are you running? Once I want someone's blood, there's nowhere they can hide. Especially not from all of us!" Said Toga as she giggled.
That's when several dozen more needles came in and stabbed Izuku in the back, each thrown by a clone of Toga. "Needles? You'll need more than that to stop me!" Said Izuku as he began to pull the clones along.
"Oh I know, that's why I borrowed something." Pumping through the tubes attached to the needles was a purple colored gas.
The gas was then injected directly into Izuku's body. Immediately Izuku felt his body burning from the inside, "Poison!"
Izuku tried to get away but as he did, more needles came in and pumped more poison gas into him. Now with over 50 needles in him Izuku slowed to a stop before falling to his knees. "Izuku, get up, you gotta get up." Said Ochaco as he dropped her.
Izuku's veins bulged out as the poison spread through his body. "C-Can't move, run, you have to run." Said Izuku.
Ochaco tried to force herself up but before she could get to her feet a hand grabbed her from behind the neck. "Sorry girl, but it's as I said before. You're coming with us." Dabi now stood behind Ochaco with his hand around her neck. One wrong move and Ochaco would be burnt to a crisp.
With poison running through his veins and needles stabbed into his back Izuku somehow managed to get to one knee. "G-Give her back."
Dabi smiled, "Don't worry we won't kill her, the boss wanted her alive. If you ever want to see her again you know what to do." With Ochaco in his grasp Dabi along with the other league of villains members walked into the portal.
"Don't worry Izuku, I'll take real good care of her!" said Toga as she walked towards the portal.
With the poison no longer being pumped into him Izuku was frantically trying to pull off the needles. Thanks to his healing power Izuku started to get his strength back, pulling out the last needle he ran towards the portal, "Ochaco!"
Ochaco could see the despair in Izuku's eyes as she slowly went into the portal. As she disappeared Izuku could see Ochaco's lips move, "You are not a monster."
With those final words Ochaco disappeared through the portal, shortly after, the portal itself disappeared leaving Izuku alone with Bakugo and Todoroki.
Falling to his knees Izuku balled his fists, "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Izuku's frustrated scream echoed throughout the forest. His scream caught the attention of Aizawa and after a minute he appeared alongside the Wild Wild Pussycats. Seeing Izuku on his knees, Aizawa walked over to him with blood running down his face. "You told me she wouldn't leave your sight. What happened?" asked Izuku.
Aizawa looked away, "We got ambushed and I…" However, before he could explain, Izuku got up and punched his former teacher in the stomach. The Pussycats were about to move in but Aizawa managed to put up his hand to stop them. "We'll get her back Izuku, you just have to trust us. We will find her."
Izuku's eyes burned with rage as he looked down at his former teacher, "Now that they have her, I no longer have a choice."
"A choice in what?" asked Aizawa.
"A choice in joining us." said Shigaraki appearing from a portal. The heroes' eyes all went wide as they saw him appear, "Seems like you failed Izuku, you know what that means right?" Izuku hung his head, "Unless you want us to kill her you'll do what you are told. So let's go, the doctor is waiting."
"If I go with you, do you swear not to harm her?" asked Izuku.
Shigaraki nodded, "As long as you do as you're told then no further harm will come to her."
With no other choice and much to Aizawa's horror, Izuku began to walk towards Shigaraki. Now standing beside the villain Izuku looked away, "I'm sorry Aizawa, for this, and for what's to come."
"Wait Izuku!" yelled out Aizawa.
"Make sure my mom is taken care of, she's going to worry." with that Izuku disappeared through the portal.
Unknown Location
Izuku along with Shigaraki reappeared in a bar, "Don't look so sad kid, as long as you do what you are told everything will be fine." said Shigaraki. "Now, I know you still might hesitate to do what you are told. So that's why we have a friend to make sure you do everything."
Sniffing the air, Izuku got an all too familiar scent, "N-No…"
"Hello Izuku, it's been a while." appearing from the doorway was the doctor. The man who created Izuku, the man who turned him into a weapon, and the man who tortured him. Thanks to Izuku, the doctor now sported a metallic prosthetic hand, "It's good to have you back. Now I can complete my work, meaning you."
Izuku could kill everyone in the room, he could do it in an instant, but he knew that if he did that they would kill Ochaco. 'For now I'll buy my time and wait. I have to find a way out of this or wait for the heroes, but I shouldn't count on them. Just hold on Ochaco, I will get you out of this!'
AN: OHHHHH SNAP! Izuku is now in the hands, well hand of the doctor once again! What will they make him do? What will the league make him do? Remember he was built to do something… What will happen to Ochaco? Will All Might help? Find out next time! In the meantime stay safe everyone!
