Chapter 54: Nomu Fight!
Izuku continued on his way. However he decided to double check something first. Namely to see if Mandalay and Tiger needed help.
It was probably a good idea to see if the two pro heroes needed it after all.
He jumped down from the air.
"Do you need help?" asked Izuku.
"We got this!" said Mandalay.
Izuku looked at them and nodded.
Izuku headed to the forest to save Bakugo. However as he headed int other forest Magne decided to attack him, however it was Spinner who came to his defense due to the fact that Izuku was deemed a true hero by Stain.
And also this fact.
"Did you forget what Priestess told us!" yelled Spinner, "He could easily beat both of us!"
Magne didn't answer... having completely forgotten in the heat of the battle...
Then they were both taken down by Tiger and Mandalay.
Izuku had noticed this with his Haki.
"That was lucky…." Said Izuku.
"You got right!" agreed Aiko.
Elsewhere in the forest a group consisting of Momo, Aoyama and member of Class 1-B named Yosetsu Awase were searching for more students. After all there was still the poison gas problem.
Momo had taken charge by giving those that needed them gas masks.
That was when they heard something.
Momo pulled the two into bushes.
They saw that it was the Nomu.
They all stared at the monster.
However when Momo did she had gotten flashes of memories…
Memories from the USJ…
Of fight that Nomu…
"Yaoyorozu!" said Aoyama as she faulted for a few seconds.
"I'm fine…" said Momo, "I just remembered something from the USJ."
Aoyama's eyes widened when she said that.
"What?" asks Awase.
"I was hit by a quirk at the USJ." Explained Momo, "I became feral and wasn't in my right mind. For me to remember means something very important."
"Not to mention Izuku said the same thing about Hosu." Said Aiko.
Momo sighed remembering why Izuku left the train back in Hosu.
But the fact that she got the memories now too.
It meant something… she knew what she had to do.
"Someone's being a hypocrite…" said Aiko.
"I don't care." Said Momo.
She created a large sword.
"Wait… is this a good idea?" asked Awase.
"I don't have much of a choice." Said Momo.
"I have reports from what happened at the USJ. She fought one of those things before" said Aiko, "Though admittingly she was fighting with Izuku… but at the same time she did cut off one of its limbs… so my final verdict… I'm going to tell you to run away when you need to run away."
Momo was now making to the various piece of armor and putting it only leaving her legs bare so that she could pull new from her legs when the time came.
"Are you sure it's a good idea?" asked Awase.
"With the exception of Izuku I might be the only one to fight this thing." Said Momo.
She jumped out of the bushes.
Awase looked at Aoyama who just shrugged.
Momo looked at the monster that turned around.
"Okay! I will help you only so much… like I said, if I say get out of here… get out of here okay…" Said Aiko.
"I know…" said Momo.
"Though there is a chance I won't…. really, really, really good chance." Said Aiko.
Momo realized what she meant, she was considered to be one of the most powerful reincarnation after all.
The Nomu looked at her and then suddenly gigantic power tools erupted from its skin.
"Holy crap!" yelled Aiko.
Momo just narrowed her eyes at the Nomu.
The Nomu ran towards her, ready to fight.
She blocked a drill with the sword she was using and managed to push it back.
"That thing just popped chainsaws out of its flesh…" said Aiko.
"I did…" said Momo.
"This is going to be one of those fight isn't it?" asked Aiko.
"I have no idea." Said Momo.
"Wait is that a normal claw hammer?" sked Aiko.
They noticed that indeed one of the tools was just a normal claw hammer.
"It is…" said Momo.
"Don't get hit by that one… it will be sad if that's the thing that hits you." Said Aiko.
Momo blocked as chainsaw.
"Okay… good idea to shut up now." Said Aiko.
Momo one again pushed the Nomu back.
She looked at the Nomu. And another memory came back to her.
Of the first Nomu's arm growing back.
But then she realized something… there was a chance that this one wouldn't' have the same quirk.
"I can't judge it until I see it!" said Momo.
She aimed an attack for one of the arms (which was the best way to describe the things producing the tools. )
She cut off one of the chain saw arms.
The Nomu roared in pain and anger.
However it was clear… that arm wasn't growing back.
"It looks like this one doesn't have that regeneration." Said Aiko.
Momo nodded without saying anything.
"Once again… shutting up… but I will say this: I feel kind of bad for that thing." said Aiko.
Momo sighed, she wasn't going to take her chances and still be careful. She knew from her fights in her past life to always be careful…
But she did have a feeling that Aiko kind of had a point.
If this thing wasn't regenerating… then there was a good chance she would win.
But she still to be realize and not assume thing.
However by cutting off one of its arms it was even more angry.
And of course it began to lash out like crazy.
It roared in anger and managed to knock out the sword out of her hands.
She dodged one of the chainsaw and landed on her feet, she managed to create a pair of swords this time.
However before any more on the fight could be a gun shot rang throughout the forest.
Momo's eyes widened when she heard that.
"Who got shot?" asked Momo.
"I don't know…" said Aiko, "I'm asking Izuku."
Momo nodded.
"Duck!" yelled Aiko.
Momo thankful listened to the AI.
She ducked under tow of the chainsaws.
"Okay… shutting up until I get an update." Said Aiko.
Momo nodded and focused on the fight…
Back with Izuku he was running towards where he knew Bakugo should be. That was when he heard the gun shot.
He paled and looked towards where he heard the gunshot.
He looked at who got shot and breathed a sigh of relief at the fight he was seeing.
"Do you know who got shot?" asked Aiko.
"It was Tetsutetsu." Said Izuku, "And he's using his quirk."
"Oh good…" said Aiko, "I'm telling Momo after her fight."
"She's fighting someone?" asked Izuku.
"I'm not telling who she's fighting because saving Bakugo is more important…" said Aiko.
"It's that bad." Said Izuku.
"It is." Sighed Aiko, "So focus making sure your frenemy isn't kidnaped."
Izuku nodded knowing Aiko was right.
Though it was hard to ignore the gun shots ringing throughout the forest.
Back with Momo she managed to cut off one of the other chain saw arms along with the drill arm.
The Nomu once again roared in pain and anger.
But it was also clear it was losing a lot of blood.
It's moves were starting to get sloppy.
She managed to cut off its last two chain saw arms, leaving only the hammer arm.
The Nomu still roared in pain and anger.
She then created a spear and impaled it in the shoulder.
Thanks to the combination of pain and blood loss it could only frail it's hammer arm in pitiful movments.
Momo pushed it back until it was against a tree and drove the spear further in the tree… trapping it.
She created another spear and did it it's other shoulder.
She was breathing heavily but it was clear that it could move from the tree due to the pain and blood loss.
She heard a noise behind her. Thankfully it was us Aoyama and Awase.
Awase was just in shock at the fight.
"So it's over?" asked Aoyama who wasn't surprised.
After all he had heard about her one sided exam with Aizawa.
"It's down." Said Momo with a nod.
That was when the poison gas began to clear.
"What happened?" asked Momo.
"Checking with Izuku!" said Aiko.
Back with Izuku he had seen the end of the fight with Tetsutetsu. He wasn't the only one fighting the vialling, he had help form Itsuka.
"So they defeated the villain and the gas is clearing?" asked Aiko.
"It is." Said Izuku.
"Okay! Good!" said Aiko, "I'll spread the word along with the fact that the Nomu is down."
"Wait… the Nomu is down?" asked Izuku.
"Yep!" said Aiko.
"Was that what Momo was fighting?" asked Izuku.
"You know it!" said Aiko.
Izuku realized that was the reason why Aiko didn't tell him.
But still he headed to where he knew Katsuki was.
Back with Momo, Aoyama and Awase.
"Okay! So are you going to head back to camp since people don't need gas makes any more or do you want to help Izuku?" asked Aiko.
Momo began to think.
She quickly realized something and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I don't think I can leave them alone… should I?" asked Momo.
"Probably not a good idea… I mean Bakugo might have Todoroki with him… but he seems like the type to just let them bicker." Said Aiko.
"I'm going to follow Izuku. It will be up to you what do." Said Momo.
"I think it would be a good idea to stick with you." Said Aoyama staring at the pinned Nomu.
"He's got a point." Said Aoyama.
"All right! I'll lead you to Izuku." Said Aiko.
"Hey…" said Awase pointing at a large plate of cupcakes, "Those weren't there a couple seconds ago…"
Aoyama touched his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it."
Momo took the plate of cupcakes.
"Already telling her thanks." Said Aiko.
Momo nodded and they both headed to where Izuku was heading.
Meanwhile with Aizawa.
"The gas has cleared and the Nomu has been defeated." Said Aiko.
"Midoriya didn't keep his promise did he?" asked Aizawa.
"No don't worry… Izuku kept his promise." Said Aiko.
Aizawa felt a new annoyance bubble up.
"Which one of them?" asked Aizawa.
"Momo!" said Aiko.
Aizawa groaned.
"Also she, Aoyama and random kid from Class 1-B are acting as backup for Izuku in protecting Bakugo." said Aiko
Aizawa groaned again.
"Hey! I only know the names of Tetsutetsu, Ibara, Kendo and Monoma… I have no idea who the others in the class are." Said Aiko.
"Just never mind." Said Aizawa.
Aizawa couldn't help but to get a bad feeling that something was going to happen soon…
And little did he know things would change for the class once again soon… and he wasn't sure what going to happen.
But the change was coming and it would be something he wouldn't expect…
