A/N: I've heard about the latest chapter... if you don't want spoilers for chapter 335, please just skip to the chapter... because I have to talk about it...
(Takes a breath)
We all know who the traitor is now and it's Toru... Because of that I need to address it and what I'm going to do with this story going forward... and the plan is nothing... She will not be the traitor in the story, in fact thanks to Katsuki remembering his past life canon was already undergoing a slow agonizing death and by the time of the reveal canon would be dead to the story, long buried and forgotten. Hell the League of Villains will have no role in the next arc... like at all... that's how much the arc is diverging from canon (they don't have a break in-between the Kamino incident and Yakuza... because of that they need time to recover). So yeah... because canon was already dying I'm ignoring that reveal for this story... I have three other stories I need to address on this site too... so expect updates for Rise of Team Zodiac, Quirk: Magical Girl Mascot and My Princess Academia (two other stories where Toru is a main character and one where she is written out... though what I plan for Rise of Team Zodiac is on AO3).
Anyways enjoy the chapter... and enjoy this last bit of levity before the big fight!
Chapter 83: Need to Know Haki
The Nomu began to attack. Which made sense they were living weapons. They were meant to fight them.
Rock music blared through the room as Hibiki started to fight them.
"Aiko, bring up more back up suits…" said Hibiki, "Because this fight is going to be a mess."
Aiko: You don't need to tell me twice.
At the same time All Might managed to punch away several Nomu.
"Whoa! With just one punch too!" said Camie surprised.
"You know you should be distracting them." Muttered Shindo.
He had vibrated the ground so hard that many Nomu fell into the cracks.
Fujio grabbed his elbows and using the violet color in his skin created two swords. And used them to cut down some of the Nomu.
Camie created some illusions to distract the Nomu.
Which was creating extra versions of All Might and Hibiki.
Which thankfully worked to distract the mindless Nomu.
Izuku covered his leg in Haki and kicked many away.
Thanks to the fact that they were suspectable to Haki, it was clear that he was dealing the most amount of damage .
"Impressive Young Midoriya." Said All Might.
Izuku blushed slightly.
But even so, he realized that he really should end this as soon as possible.
However… he realized…
"I still have an idea how to use it…" he thought with a sweat drop.
That was when he sighed…
He knew the situation was bad but he needed to know now…
He looked at Saiko.
"Hey I need my transceiver back." Said Izuku as he kicked away a Nomu.
"Really why?" asked Saiko.
"I need to ask someone about something…" said Izuku.
"what?" asked Saiko .
"The person he needs to talk has a device with me on it… so I can relay any information between the two." Said Aiko.
"What do mean relay?" asked Izuku.
"There's no communication devices between meaning that I have to speak for you and Katsuki…" said Aiko.
"Well that won't be so bad…" said Izuku.
"You just had to say that…" muttered Aiko.
With fighting team of Class 1-A.
"Hey! I'm relaying a message between you and Izuku he has some questions… and I think we both know it has to do with Haki." Said Aiko.
"Yeah,,, whatever…" said Katsuki.
"Hey Kacchan how do you use Conquers Haki?" asked Aiko.
"What?" asked Katsuki.
Aiko knew he was referring to her.
"Look… this device doesn't have capabilities to transmit other people's voices…" said Aiko.
"I see…" muttered Katsuki, "Tell him he has to figure it out himself…"
Back in the warehouse.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF!" yelled Izuku.
He then activated Diable Jambe and kicked one of the Nomu away very easily.
Aiko sighed as she relayed the information to Katsuki.
"Look, you need to figure it out for yourself." Said Katsuki, he then cut down several.
Aiko relayed the information back.
"I'm fighting multiple Nomu. They can be taken down easily…" said Izuku.
Aiko relayed the infraction.
"For fucks sake! All Might and Hibiki are probably with you so you're fine." Muttered Katsuki.
He created explosions from his sword not only cutting down the Nomu but blowing them up as well.
Aiko once again relayed the information.
"Look! Right now it's better to just end it now." Said Izuku.
He kicked away several Nomu while setting them on fire.
Aiko still relayed the information.
"Are you seriously arguing with the guy!" yelled Shindo.
"He's still kicking their butts though… so it's fine." Said Camie.
'Yeah… when it comes to Incarnations that remain hero they're said to be crazy powerful." Said Fujio.
"That was a pun right" asked Camie.
"Kind of…" said Fujio.
"Honestly…" sighed Saiko rolling her eyes.
Aiko of course relayed the information.
"Look! You should know that learning Haki has to be felt not explained!" yelled Katsuki.
"Are you seriously having an argument with Aiko right now!" yelled Momo.
"No… he's having an argument with Izuku… the devices can only transmit my voice and other things but not voice to voice… so I have to act like a middle man…" sighed Aiko.
Momo sweat dropped.
"This isn't fun! This isn't fun at all." Aiko told her.
Momo just sighed as she cut down another Nomu.
Aiko of course relayed the information to Izuku.
He begrudgingly sighed.
He was right
Though something just hit him.
"Wait… are you just using these as a punching bag!" yelled Izuku kicking more of them.
Aiko once again relayed the information.
"Look you were just kidnapped and there's someone from the old world running around!" yelled Katsuki, "I need to right now… and you should be using this too…"
Aiko of course relayed the information.
"I don't have time for this…" muttered Izuku, "As much as I want to take out my stress of them I can't."
He looked at All Might while saying this.
He remembered what All Might said…
That he only had one fight left in him.
And the longer this fight lasts the harder it would be for his mentor…
Aiko of course relayed the information.
But she also added this. "He was looking at All Might while saying this… Chances are high something more is going on with this fight… and you know what I'm referring to…"
Katsuki gritted his teeth and knew what she was referring to.
His time limit and losing his quirk…
That was not a good combo.
"Look I'm still not going to tell you… but you already fucking used it multiple times." Said Katsuki, "Just try to remember you did during those times…"
Aiko of course relayed the information.
Izuku realized he was right.
"Are you two done?" asked Aiko.
"Yeah…" sighed Izuku from his end.
"IF Deku… is…" said Katsuki.
"Okay then…" sighed Aiko from both sides, "Ya'll are morons! And I'm never doing this again!"
This made Izuku sweat drop while Katsuki just tore into another Nomu.
With Hibiki the song switched to Bad Reputation as Aiko brought something up to him.
Aiko: Can you please upgrade the transceivers and the trackers with an emergency communication function.
"I will, just remind me when this is all over multiple times…" said Hibiki.
Aiko: Naturally!
"Hey…" said All Might, "Should we be concerned that they were able to bicker like that while fighting opponents…"
"Not really, it's a past life thing so it's fine…" said Hibiki.
All Might nodded… knowing that Izuku and Katsuki's relationship from their past life was weird.
Izuku hanged the transceiver back to Saiko.
He began to think about all of the other times… besides the first time.
The first time he literally wasn't in control of his body at the time so it didn't count…
The other times however…
The second time: Mashirao was in danger, then All Might was in danger and of course just earlier that day Hibiki was in danger.
He held onto that feeling and let it loose.
And for the first time, he used Conqueror's Haki intentionally as the blue wave emerged from him and all of the Nomu got hit, knocking them out.
However as he was controlling it this time, none of his allies felt it.
The other four kidnapped students were confused as they once again just dropped.
But All Might and Hibiki looked at Izuku impressed.
"You can control it now, can't you?" asked Hibiki.
"I can…" said Izuku blushing a little.
All Might looked at his protégé and nodded.
Izuku blushed even more.
"We need to get out of here now…" said Saiko.
"She's right…" said All Might.
"All right! Which of you want to ride a guy in the tin suit!" said Hibiki.
Izuku and All Might looked at Hibiki.
"Look guys… I'm trying to prevent arguing from breaking out." Said Hibiki.
"Wait! We get to be carried by All Might?" asked Camie.
"I'll go with Orchestra Rave." Said Fujio.
"I will go as well…" said Saiko, "I'm just curious about his suit myself."
"Wow… that's unexpected…" said Aiko.
"It would save more time from bickering…" said Saiko.
"All right!" said Hibiki.
They turned to the door to leave however Kurogiri's portal appeared.
"Of course it wasn't going to be that easy." Said Aiko.
Hibiki and All Might stood in front of the five kidnapped teens as the League of Villains sans Priestess all came through it.
"So… All Might… and Orchestra Rave." Said Shigaraki, "Both of you are here to rescue them…"
"Of course we came to rescue them." Muttered All Might glaring at them.
"That's a shame… because it all ends here." Said Shigaraki.
"Aiko… analyze and access their files." Said Hibiki, "For those here send in the information of their quirks you can get."
"Already working on it… I can't find all of them but I found some of them…" said Aiko as Hibiki had turned off his music once the Nomu were down.
"Some is better than none…" said Hibiki.
However with the Nomu unconscious, Izuku turned on Observation Haki.
And that was when he sensed someone very powerful… someone very powerful planned an attack.
"EVERYONE get down!" yelled Izuku.
That was when suddenly the entire warehouse exploded.
Thanks to Hibiki's suit, it acted a shield from the damage…
However the suit itself was damaged as well and clearly in no shape to battle.
"I'm sending multiple suits right now." Said Aiko, "One of them will not be used for fighting…"
Hibiki nodded knowing why the suit was being used for fighting.
They heard Shigaraki laughed as the dust was clearing.
They all saw a figure… he was wearing a nice suit but over his head was some sort of life support mask.
All Might glared harshly at the man.
Izuku, Hibiki and Aiko quickly put together the pieces.
"Well All Might it's been a long time." Said the figure.
"That's him… isn't it?" asked Hibiki.
Izuku was sweating.
"It is… "muttered All Might still glaring at the figure.
Izuku looked at the figure.
He could tell thanks to Haki that he was smiling under his mask.
All for One was there…
And this was going to be a fight to remember for sure…
Next Time: It's clear that All Might must fight All for One... will the kidnaped teens be able to escape? Will Izuku stay behind and help? What will Hibiki's role be? Find out next time!
