AN: And we are back with another chapter! Sorry for the long delay but school got in the way of writing. Anyway the next chapter should be out in like two weeks so there's that. Thank you all for the support on the last chapter. It really means alot so thank you. Without future adieu let's just jump into it!
Infiltrator
A few days had gone and went, after helping out and taking Recovery Girl's advice Izuku decided to take it easy. He would still help around where he could but for the most part Izuku was just there training Eri.
It was now the night before the big day and the class was enjoying their time off. They bought pizza, drinks, chips, and everything they needed for a small party. The class were laughing and enjoying themselves. Even Eri was having fun, but as they were partying Ochaco noticed that someone was missing. "Hey Eri, where's Izuku?" asked Ochaco.
Eri turned to Ochaco and sniffed the air, "He's on the roof. Want me to go check on him?"
Ochaco smiled, "Thanks but I'll go, stay here and enjoy yourself." Eri nodded as Ochaco took the elevator to the top floor. From there you had to walk up another flight of stairs to get to the roof.
Once there Ochaco opened the door to find Izuku leaning against the rails looking up at the moon. "Hey, what are you doing up here?" Asked Ochaco, approaching Izuku from behind.
"Nothing, just getting some fresh air." Said Izuku.
"It's cold up here, why don't you come down to the party with everyone else." Offered Ochaco.
Izuku shook his head, "Nah it's fine, rather be up here. Don't want to spoil the mood. You should head back down with the others."
"If you're staying then so am I." Said Ochaco now standing beside Izuku. "How are you feeling these days?"
Izuku looked at his hand, "Like shit. My body's getting weaker by the day. Not even the drug is helping anymore."
Ochaco then rested her head on Izuku's shoulder, "I wish there was something I could do."
Izuku then turned and looked at Ochaco, "You being here is more than enough." The two shared a kiss, after a few seconds they pulled away. "God how I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too Izuku." Said Ochaco.
"Look, when it happens I want you to look after Eri. She's a good kid but she's been through alot. She's also really good at hiding her emotions, guess she really is my daughter. I want you to teach her that it's alright to feel things every once and awhile. Can you do that for me?" Asked Izuku.
Ochaco nodded, "Of course, she's my daughter too."
Izuku's voice then turned stern, "There's two things I'd like for you to promise me. One, when I die, I want you to make sure no one messes with me."
That confused Ochaco, "What?"
"Even in death my body will still have the adamantium attached to the bones. I want to make sure no one uses it. I already talked to Nezu about this, I also made him swear that he wouldn't touch my body. If he does, Eri would make him pay." Said Izuku.
"I promise, no I swear, I won't let anyone touch you." Said Ochaco with determination in her voice.
Izuku nodded, "That's my girl." Izuku then began to cough violently, Ochaco tried to help but couldn't do much but offer him a handkerchief. "Thanks. Look, this is the second thing, and you can't say no."
"Depends on what it is." Said Ochaco.
Izuku closed his eyes for a second before opening them, "When I die, forget about me."
Ochaco's eyes widened, "W-What?"
"I want you to forget about me. I won't be the reason why you hold back, you got your own dreams to live, do it." Said Izuku. "Find someone else to love, I know for a fact you have good taste. Just live your life…"
But as Izuku was saying this Ochaco's hand smacked Izuku across the face. "Y-You idiot!" Yelled Ochaco shaking and with tears in her eyes. "How could you say that now! Of course I'm going to miss you. I love you Izuku but I won't promise you that I'll forget you. I can't, no I won't forget you! So stop with this bullshit!"
Holding his face Izuku looked at Ochaco crying and knew he fucked up. Without saying anything Izuku hugged Ochaco, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't, I just thought…."
"Shut up." Ordered Ochaco as she hugged him back. "Just shut up for a second."
Obeying Izuku just hugged Ochaco tighter, after a while they both calmed down enough to speak. "I know you're scared Izuku, and so I'm I. But if we can't stop what's going to happen then I want you to enjoy yourself while you can. Let's forget about this and go to the party." Said Ochaco, grabbing his hand.
Izuku thought about it but ultimately nodded, "Alright, let's go."
Izuku would spend the night partying and having fun with friends, and as much as Izuku didn't want to admit it he was having fun. It was around 1 am when the class decided to call it for the night, they needed to get up early to set up the stage.
Everyone didn't know it at the time but that morning was going to change their lives, for better or worse was yet to be seen.
Day of the Festival
The class were making last minute adjustments, setting up the stage, and getting dressed. The performance was set to take place at noon, this meant Izuku and Eri had some free time to enjoy the festival by themselves.
But being it was the both of them, and both had terrible or no people skills the two just sat on a bench watching everyone walk by. Izuku sighed as he sat with Eri, "Sorry about this kid, but I've never been much of a people person."
"No I get it, seeing this many people makes me unnerved." explained Eri. "So how have you been feeling these days?"
"Better, I have been losing some sleep but nothing major." said Izuku.
Eri turned to Izuku, "Bullshit, you're just about to drop unconscious aren't you?"
Izuku laughed, "Can't keep anything from you. But yeah, I'm barely keeping it together these days. Each action is taking more and more energy to complete, even simple things like walking up stairs has me winded."
"You sound like an old man," said Eri with a smirk on her face.
"Hey, not funny. I'm not that old." said Izuku playfully, hitting Eri on the shoulder.
"Look, I know you're worried about mom, and I am too. So that's why until we find a way to turn you back to normal. I will protect mom no matter what. And if we don't find a way and the worst happens I'll keep protecting her." Izuku looked at Eri, her eyes said it all. Eri was going to do it, she was going to protect Ochaco when Izuku couldn't.
Hearing that made Izuku happy, reaching over he pulled Eri's head to his shoulder, "Thanks kid, that's all I wanted."
Letting go Izuku got up, "Alright, since we got time we should check out what they got. We can bring your mom after her show." Eri nodded and with Izuku by her side they walked around UA looking at the stands.
Izuku even bought Eri a few candy apples some of the students were selling and judging from her face Eri seemed to like them. An hour had gone by and it was now time for class 1A's performance.
Going into the gym Izuku and Eri made their way through the crowd and managed to get about half way from the stage and the back. Soon the gym went dark and the performance started with a loud boom from Bakugo's quirk.
Jiro took front and center as the main singer as the rest of the class either danced or played an instrument. That's when Izuku and Eri saw Ochaco on stage wearing her costume, "Look! It's mom, she looks so pretty." said Eri
"She sure does." Said Izuku.
The two smiled and watched the performance go on but as they did they both got the scent of something. Izuku's and Eri's eyes widened, "Do you smell that?" Asked Eri.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah. Blood and alot of it."
"That's not all, there's someone infiltrating UA. They smell exactly like you dad." Said Eri looking at Izuku.
Izuku gritted his teeth, "They actually did it."
"What's going on?" Asked Eri.
"Come with me. We have to stop them before they hurt anyone else." Said Izuku, turning to leave. Eri quickly followed.
On stage Ochaco was dancing when she saw Izuku and Eri in the crowd. All of a sudden they began to leave. 'I wonder why they are leaving?'
Outside Izuku and Eri pushed their way through the crowd of people and made it to the backside of UA. This area was connected to a large tree area, almost like a mini forest. The two quickly jumped the fence and made their way down the hill.
They soon came upon a clearing and stopped. "They're coming." Said Eri. "What do we do?"
"We fight. If it's what I think it is then we're in trouble." Said Izuku.
Appearing from the treeline was someone wearing black tactical gear and a mask covering their mouth. Their eyes glowed green and their hair shined like a green emerald.
Izuku narrowed his eyes, "Son of a bitch."
"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Eri.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah it is. A fucken clone."
The clone of Izuku staired the two of them down and with a twitch of his hand a SNIKT sound was heard. The two then saw metal claws coming out of its hands. "Are those made of Adamantium?" Asked Eri.
"Seems that way." Izuku sighed. "All I wanted was a nice relaxing day. Guess that was too much to ask. You ready kid?"
Eri threw her hands to her side and with a SNIKT she too popped her claws. "Ready, but what are you going to do?"
Izuku smirked, "I'll fight too. Just not without my claws, don't worry I'll be careful."
Seeing that Izuku wasn't going to change his mind, Eri nodded, "Fine but stay beside me. I don't want you getting hurt."
The three of them let out a battle cry as they ran towards each other. Eri quickly jumped in but was surprised when the clone grabbed her leg in mid air and slammed her back towards the ground.
Growling Eri got up to find the clone's claws in front of her. Seeing his Eri leaned back and dodged the claws a few inches from her face.
Seeing a chance Izuku came in and kneed the clone in the ribs, which sent him flying back a few meters. "You can't hold back against him, kid. This thing is me without a conscience, he won't hesitate to kill you."
"I can see that." Said Eri. "Alright fine, time to do what I was made to do. Kill you."
Izuku raised an eyebrow at Eri and how she was more than eager to kill the clone. "Huh, guess she really was programmed to kill me."
With Eri, she swung her claws at the clone only to have it jump back with each slash. Getting frustrated, Eri jumped up and began to kick her leg. But at the distance she was at Eri would miss, or would she. With another SNIKT Eri popped the claw in her foot.
Not knowing Eri had this ability the clone didn't react fast enough. Eri managed to cut the clone across the cheek causing blood to run down his face. However, as soon as it looked back the cut across its face was already healed. "Great he heals like you too." said Eri, slightly annoyed.
"That may be true but there's no way they had enough adamantium to cover his entire skeleton like me. We have to find that weak point." but as Izuku was explaining the two then picked up another smell. "No…"
"Shit, there's another one!" said Eri. "And they're next to mom."
"The class and heroes won't be strong enough to take them down." Izuku gritted his teeth. "I'll go, stay here and deal with this guy."
Eri was dodging the clone's claws when she jumped back, "What? No, you don't heal anymore dad."
But by the time Eri turned to look at Izuku he was already running back towards the school. His body was aching by the time he made it to the fence, but he couldn't slow down, he needed to reach the class before anything happened. Jumping over the fence Izuku tucked and rolled before popping back up and continuing to run.
The crowd all gasped and got out of the way as Izuku ran by them, this in turn caught the attention of the heroes that were on the campus. One of those teachers was Aizawa who was on the roof looking down, "Where is he running off to?" That's when Aizawa noticed the look on Izuku's face. "Something's wrong, last time he had that look was back when he was on the run from us."
Reaching into his pocket Aizawa grabbed a radio, "This is Eraserhead, this message is for all heroes on campus. We have a code 4, something is happening but I just don't know what yet. Izuku is currently running towards the gym, fan out and look for anyone suspicious." Jumping down from the roof Aizawa began to chase after Izuku but he was woefully behind.
The class were now standing on the stage taking a bow as the crowd began to chant out, "1A, 1A!"
Ochaco was tired but continued to smile as she heard the crowd cheer, she looked into the crowd to try to find Izuku and Eri but to no luck. "I'll just find them after this, they probably just went to get some food or something."
But just as the class was about to get off the stage something came crashing down from the ceiling. Whatever it was, it landed right behind Ochaco, she turned around to find glowing green eyes looking at her. Followed by a SNIKT sound, "Izuku!?"
That's when the clone pulled back it's claws ready to kill Ochaco. But just as his claws went forward Izuku came in and tackled the clone away. "Stay the fuck away from her!"
The two slid to a stop a few meters away, the crowd not knowing what was going on fell silent. That's when Izuku got up, "Everyone get the hell out of here!" No one moved, "Now!"
As Izuku yelled his warnings the clone appeared in front of Izuku and punched him across the face. Blood splattered across the stage, seeing that the crowd began to scream and run out of the gym.
The class were all still confused as to what was going on, "Hey Deku! What the hell is that thing!" Yelled Bakugo.
Izuku wiped the blood from his lip, "It's a clone, of me."
The class went eye wide, "What!?"
"Look, I don't have time to explain it to you. But if you stay you'll die. This version of me is everything they made me to be, claws, healing, and bloodlust." Said Izuku.
"But what about you? If you stay you'll die too." Said Mina.
Izuku smirked, "I'm already dead anyway. Now go, I'll hold him off as long as I can. That means you too Ochaco, you can't stay either. I'll fight him alone"
Ochaco gritted her teeth, "Damn it Izuku, fine! But you better not die on me. We'll go get help."
Izuku nodded as the class all went behind the stage to find a teacher. Now alone and with the spot light shining down on them Izuku looked at his clone, "We don't have to do this."
The clone stayed silent before removing it's mask, "Of course we do. We both know the reason why. Father told us you were weak right now, so killing you would be easy." Raising it's claws the clone readied itself.
Narrowing his eyes Izuku raised his fists and with a SNIKT sound he too popped his claws. Izuku flinched as the metal claws pierced his skin causing blood to run down his knuckles. "Let's do it."
The two then ran at each other, grunted they locked claws causing sparks to fly in every direction. Now in a deadlock Izuku broke it by kicking the clone in the chest.
Sliding a few feet away the clone grunted in pain as it looked up to find Izuku jumping at him. Thinking fast the clone swung at Izuku, but Izuku reacted in time and moved his head out of the way.
But as he landed Izuku felt something warm down his cheek. Reaching up he saw his finger stained with blood. "You really are weak." Said the clone.
Izuku growled, "Shut up and fight."
The clone smirked, "Yeah, I guess I can get serious now."
Once again the two ran at each other, but this time the clone was done playing games. Swiping his claws up, the clone managed to cut Izuku across the sides. It then spun around and slashed Izuku's chest, ripping his shirt and causing blood to spill.
Grunting in pain, Izuku staggered back as blood stained the stage. "Your movements are slow, and without your healing powers you can't even give me a real fight." Said the clone as Izuku fell to his knees.
Izuku looked up at the clone and glared at it, "You talk too much."
The clone then walked up to Izuku, "I get that from you. Sorry about this me, but the doctor just wants your body." Raising it's claws the clone was about to kill Izuku when out of nowhere Izuku stabbed into the clone's leg.
The clone roared out in pain, only to be silenced by an uppercut that sent it flying back. As the clone hit the floor Izuku made sure to not give it any breathing room. Jumping atop of it Izuku began to slash and stab into the clone causing blood to splatter on his face.
"Not even the doctor can make another perfect me. Which means you have a weakness, I just have to find out what!?" Yelled Izuku as he plunged both of his claws into its chest.
But as he pulled them out and prepared to stab him again Izuku felt a sharp pain from his ribs. Slowly looking down Izuku was horrified to see the clone's claws dug into his side.
Twisting his claws, the clone caused even further damage to Izuku. Grunting in pain Izuku spit out blood as the clone plunged his other claws into Izuku's side. With blood dripping down his sides Izuku spoke, "I should have known it would have turned out like this." Izuku then smiled, "I also should have known you guys wouldn't stay out of this."
The clone suddenly felt a cold shiver run down his back, knowing what was coming the clone pulled his claws free and jumped away just as ice spikes appeared where he was.
"I thought I told you guys to get out of here." said Izuku as he pushed himself to his feet.
That's when Todoroki appeared, his ice chilling the air around him, "Yeah we decided against that. Besides, she wouldn't let us."
As the clone dodged Todoroki's ice a loud creaking sound was heard, both the clone and Izuku looked up. Izuku smiled, "Well I'll be damned."
Falling down towards the clone was Ochaco with a massive iron beam she ripped out from the ceiling. "You get the hell away from him!" with a powerful swing Ochaco brought down the iron beam right on top of the clone causing the entire stage to collapse.
Todoroki quickly got himself and Izuku out of the way, as the smoke cleared Ochaco landed in front of the two boys. "You alright?"
"Fine, but that won't keep him down for long." Said Izuku as he was being held up by Todoroki.
"I know, that's why we should leave. The class are guarding the outside, no one gets in or out without going through them first." Explained Ochaco.
"What about the teachers?" Asked Izuku.
"They're on their way, Mr. Aizawa saw you running over there and is currently calling everyone here." Explained Todoroki.
"Good, let's go while we still can. If he gets back up he'll be more pissed off than anything else." The three then began to slowly make their way towards the exit. But as they did the now shattered stage began to rumble.
Within a few seconds the clone came out roaring from underneath the pile. The wounds across its body healing as it emerged from the rubble. Snarling, it looked around to see the three students leaving.
Letting out a final roar the clone ran at them, claws at the ready. Ochaco looked behind them to find the clone chasing them, "We aren't going to make it. Todoroki use your fire."
Todoroki nodded, twisting his body he pointed his hand behind them but just as he was about to let his flames erupt Izuku stopped him. "It's fine keep going."
Ochaco was surprised, "But if we don't slow him down…"
Izuku smirked, "Don't worry, he's here."
With its claws outstretched in front of them, the clone was now inches from stabbing Izuku in the back. However, as this was happening a voice was heard coming from underneath the three, "POWER!"
Coming up from the floor was Mirio, phasing through Izuku he appeared behind him and managed to reach the clone before it's claws dug into Izuku's back.
The clone went flying back towards the rubble, Izuku smirked, "Took you long enough."
Mirio stood in front of the three, "Sorry about that, it took a while for me to find you. So what are we dealing with?"
"A clone of me. Same powers, same everything, just way more angry and unhinged." explained Izuku.
Mirio nodded, "I see, any chance I can take him?"
"Maybe, but he'll slice you into pieces before you do. But, I can do something about it, I just need some time." Said Izuku. Mirio looked back to see Izuku, his blood dripping onto the floor.
"Think you'll hold up?" Asked Mirio, concerned.
"I've been through worse. So are you ready to do this? You need to buy me one minute." Said Izuku.
Mirio nodded, "One minute, got it." Turning his attention back to the clone, Mirio watched as it grabbed a piece of wood and threw it at him.
Mirio quickly activated his quirk allowing the wood to pass through him. "I've always wondered which one of us would win in a fight. Come on then!"
Rushing in, Mirio took off to hold the clone down for one minute. "So what's your plan Izuku?" Asked Ochaco.
"Easy…" Izuku looked at Todoroki. "I'm going to need you to make these hot." Said Izuku holding up his claws.
Todoroki was confused, "What?"
"I want you to heat my metal claws to the point they're radiating red. The clone probably has adamantium in his skeleton, but according to the files from the doctor. One good decapitation should do the trick, or destroying my brain. But I need my claws to be super heated in order to cut through the Adamantium." Explained Izuku.
Ochaco was surprised, "What!? Even if your plan succeeds, thanks to the heat your claws would be giving out. Your hands would get burnt."
"Ochaco, I know the risks but if that clone manages to get out. A few burn marks will be the least of our problems. Trust me it will work, I just need a good opportunity to take him down." Said Izuku as he watched Mirio attack the clone.
Todoroki closed his eyes before sighing, "Alright let's do it."
Izuku nodded as he brought his claws out allowing Todoroki to touch them. With a small flex of his muscles Todoroki activated his fire causing the metal claws to increase in temperature.
Izuku flinched as the heat from his claws singed the skin around his knuckles. Ochaco could do nothing but watch as the claws slowly began to turn red. His claws started off as a cherry red color, as the temperature rose the color changed into a lighter red. It took 50 seconds to get Izuku's claws to a red orange color, "That's all I can do, anymore and your claws would be too weak to slice."
Izuku nodded, raising his claws he saw them glowing, "This should be fine, but I can barely move so I'll only have one shot at this."
With Mirio, thanks to his quirk the clone couldn't touch him. But it was that same quirk that made taking him down difficult. Everytime Mirio would go in for a punch the clone would throw his claws up forcing him to activate his quirk.
But like Izuku, the clone quickly adapted and came up with a plan to get through Mirio. Jumping at the third year Mirio was going to let the clone get in close before attacking. But that was just what the clone wanted. With its claws outstretched the clone inched its way towards Mirio. Mirio was going to let him pass through his body and then attack.
But as the clone came out from behind Mirio it spun around and sliced the students back. Mirio grunted out in pain as large wounds appeared, lucky for him, the cuts weren't deep enough.
However, that meant the clone now had a clear shot to Ochaco.
Seeing this Ochaco readied herself, "This better work Izuku!"
"It will, that or we all die so it wouldn't matter anyway." Said Izuku standing behind her.
Todoroki slowed the clone down with ice but it just sliced through it like nothing. With the final wall of ice breaking, the clone looked up to see Izuku gone. His eyes widened as he looked around frantically, "Where did he go!"
"Up here asshole!" Yelled Izuku appearing from the shattered remains of the ice.
The clone looked up to see Izuku swing his claws down. Thinking fast the clone raised his own claws to block the attack but as he did he noticed the glow in Izuku's claws.
Surprised, the clone tried to pull his claws back but it was far too late. With a powerful swing Izuku managed to slice right through the clones' claws.
The clone screamed out in pain as Izuku landed on the ground and stabbed into his chest. "You better tell me what the doctor is planning to do or the next one will cut your head clean off. And we both know in order to heal we need some tissue that's alive. But burn the cells before they regenerate and you won't heal."
The clone fell to his knees, "You won't get shit from me."
Izuku then dug his claws deeper into the clone's chest, "One last chance, tell me, now."
With blood running down the clone's mouth it smiled, "Y-You know, I was born a few days ago. There are more of us, more of you. Father said you were special, but I don't see it. To me, you're nothing but another broken experiment. But it's because father brought you to that place, your beginning, is why you stand here in front of me."
Izuku took a deep breath, "I see, if that's how you want to do it." Izuku then raised his claws, and with a quick motion he sliced the clone's head clean off.
A few seconds later Izuku, while his claws were still hot from the flames, then stabbed the head of the clone destroying the brain. "Izuku, why did you do that for? We didn't get anything useful out of him." Said Ochaco.
Izuku took a step back, "No, he said enough. I know where to find the doctor now. Back where it all started." But as Izuku was talking he suddenly felt himself swaying before falling to the floor.
"Izuku!" Yelled Ochaco as blood ran down Izuku's sides. "Todoroki go get Recovery Girl!"
The school soon went into lockdown as a result of the attacks. Everyone who wasn't a student or a hero were screened before being allowed to leave. As the heroes panicked and went to look for more clones, Eri appeared from the forest, her claws dripping with blood. She didn't say much when she was pressed on the matter, only that, "It was what she was trained to do."
Izuku was quickly taken to a hospital where they were able to stop the bleeding just in time. He had lost over half of his blood, it was a miracle he was still alive. All the while the doctor's tried to cool down his claws as they were still hot.
Ochaco waited nervously in the waiting room with Eri, Izuku was out of surgery and was being treated by Recovery Girl now.
"Mom, relax, I can hear your heart beating fast. Dad is going to be okay." Said Eri trying to calm Ochaco down.
Ochaco stopped and took a deep breath, "Y-Yeah, just have to have some faith. Still, I worry."
"I know, and he's worried about you. But right now the best thing you can do is keep a level head." Said Eri.
Ochaco nodded, "Thanks Eri, I needed that."
Eri then laid down and rested her head on Ochaco's lap. "Besides, once we get this guy it will all be over. We can finally be a family together."
Ochaco then began to gently stroke Eri's hair, but as she did Eri suddenly shot up. "Oh sorry did that feel weird?" Asked Ochaco.
Eri then suddenly clenched her fist, "Oh you gotta be kidding me!"
Without saying anything else Eri took off into the hospital. Not knowing what was going on Ochaco got up and followed Eri. They soon found themselves in front of Izuku's room.
Or at least what was left of it, "What happened here?" Asked Ochaco as he saw the door hanging on by a hinge. They went inside to find the doctors and nurses on the floor all scattered around and with injuries. "Did Izuku do this?" Asked Ochaco.
"Unfortunately it looks like he did. Real question is why? " Eri then sniffed the air, "Damn he covered his scent too." Looking around the room Ochaco helped out where she could.
"Where did he go?" asked Aizawa appearing at the door.
Ochaco, who was helping a doctor out turned to Aizawa, "We don't know, by the time we got here Izuku was gone. Eri can't even track him, he covered his scent."
"Why does he always pull this kind of stunt!" said Aizawa angrily.
That's when one of the nurses spoke, "That's not what should be worrying you. His body, it's still far too weak to be moving around. Recovery Girl managed only to partially close his wounds, any harsh movements and he'll rip the stitching out or worse."
Ochaco walked over to the window and saw blood on the railing leading outside, "Damn it."
"He's clearly going somewhere, but where?" asked Eri.
Ochaco thought about it, "Back where it all started…"
Eri was confused, "What?"
"After Izuku killed his clone, he said something about going back to where it all started." Ochaco then turned to Aizawa. "Where did you find Izuku, where did you rescue him?
Aizawa's eyes widened, "No, don't tell me he went back to that place."
Unknown Location: Mountains
The first time Izuku was forced here it took a four hour car ride, but that was only because the men were in a hurry. But with no car it took Izuku 8 hours to get there, with nothing but a muscle shirt and black jeans Izuku stood in the cold forest staring at a pair of metal doors.
Walking up to the door Izuku banged on it, "Open up! I know you're in there"
A few seconds went by before the metal doors began to slide apart. Izuku took several steps back, the doors opened out, and out of the darkness the doctor himself stepped out. "It's good to have you back, Izuku."
Izuku scoffed, "Can't say the feeling is mutual."
The doctor laughed, "Of course, so tell me, why did you come back?"
Reaching behind his pocket Izuku pulled out the revolver and pointed it at the doctor, "To do something I should have done a long time ago." Izuku then pulled back the hammer. "But first a question, how did you get the adamantium for the clones? From what I heard it's extremely rare. So how did you get so much?"
"I see, well that's too bad." the doctor then smiled. "You should have killed me the moment you saw me."
Confused, Izuku was surprised when the ground beneath him began to move. He tried to steady his aim but the ground was moving too much, he couldn't get the shot off. With no other recourse Izuku ran at the doctor, he stumbled and fell as the ground shifted but he pressed on nonetheless.
Now a few feet from his Izuku jumped into the air, put the gun away and popped his claws. "This is where you die!" His claws plunged down right towards the doctor but just as he was inches from stabbing him Izuku felt something prick his neck.
As soon as he did Izuku's body fell completely frozen, his muscles all loosened and he could no longer move. "W-What did you do to me?"
"A nerve agent, normally your healing power would burn right through it. But now that you don't have it, everything that didn't affect you, now does. Now that we have you, the master can get what he wants." said the doctor as someone walked up behind him.
"Finally after so long we have him," said Shigaraki. "This is going to be fun."
AN: Dun Dun Dun! A clone war if you will has just begun and the final arc is now in full swing. What will Izuku do now that he missed his chance to kill the doctor once and for all. What does the doctor want from him? And what does Shigraki have planned? Will the class and the heroes be able to reach Izuku in time or will they be too late? As I said last time this story is at its end and there will be only a few more chapters left. But worry not cause I have already begun writing on a new story and I think you'll enjoy it. Actually the first chapter might be out on Sunday or Monday so keep an eye out. In the meantime, stay safe everyone!
