*Bold indicates Izuku speaking through signs
Can I just say thanks to everyone for making this my second story with over 1k followers! The fact people find this story interesting is hilarious since I randomly came up with this during a dream and after one chapter that I initially thought was gonna flop, blew way out of proportion. Now if we could just make that an even 1K likes that'd be dandy lmao.
"The schedule I got said he'd be here," Shigaraki continued, unknowing or uncaring of Eraser head's panic, "I went through all this trouble to gather all this fodder, and I even got special permission to bring out Nomu." He gestured to the purple behemoth next to him, which had yet to make a noise, or any indication that it was aware of its surrounding. "So much work, just to kill All Might, and he's not even here?" Shigaraki scoffed, annoyed.
"?" Izuku signed, catching the Villain's attention. He then pointed to the Nomu. Aizawa thought about saying something but kept quiet in the hopes that Izuku would at least be able to get something useful from Shigaraki. The man would probably underestimate a student dressed like a mime and be much more willing to spill information.
"Oh? Deku the mime training to be a hero. That's interesting and something worth telling sensei…but you wanna know about the Nomu don't you? Understandable since he's the only one of its kind." Shigaraki bragged.
Aizawa facepalmed at the fact a damn villain knew who Izuku was. Just how well known was Deku the mime.
"?"
"Oh yeah, he was genetically engineered to be able to go up against All Might. The whole reason he was actually created."
":O"
"You should be impressed. This guy has numerous quirks that will help him kill All Might... then again since All Might's not here, maybe if I kill a few of his colleagues and students he'll come."
":("
"I'm a villain what did you expect. Now Nomu, grab one of those pros and teach them a lesson."
"How the hell did the boss man understand what the hell the mime was saying?" a side villain whispered.
"The hell if I know."
The purple beast tensed its muscles then exploded into a blur. However, before the beast could take Aizawa or Vlad King, Izuku mimed a spiked wall protecting the two pros from Nomu, who crashed into the invisible construct. Its loud screeching from being impaled was painful to hear for two pros and hero trainee.
"For a mime, you sure are a high-level player, but Nomu is higher!"
Within seconds the wall Izuku had created was broken, Nomu already healing from the large stab wounds littered across his body. Aizawa, Vlad and even Izuku couldn't help but gawk at the mutant monster healing itself, not even phased by the black good seeping down its torso.
All three heroes' eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the Nomu's quick healing. "So, he can heal himself?" Aizawa murmured, worried about the outcome of this fight if that was the case.
"Tch, more like regenerate." Shigaraki corrected, "Now then, Nomu kill one of the heroes already!"
Once it was finished, Nomu disappeared, only to reappear in front of the pros and Izuku tossing them across the plaza like ragdolls. After the heroes were scattered Nomu immediately began rushing for Vlad King who had yet to get up, having been heavily injured from the Nomu's smack.
Izuku, seeing the Nomu's objective quickly activated One for All, combining it with his quirk he shot an arrow through the creatures' chest, where he hoped its heart was. He didn't really want to kill anyone but knew if it was between saving his teacher and killing/harming that creature, he'd choose the former. As the creature began screeching in pain from the arrow shot, Izuku zoomed across the Plaza, grabbing Vlad King out of harms' way.
It was now up to Eraserhead and Izuku to finish the job and save everyone.
Kendo would never admit it, but she was scared for her dumb boyfriend. After she and Bakugou had broken off from the rest of her classmates, first directing them to the entrance of the USJ, she saw Izuku battling some monstrous bird faced thing immediately sending chills down her spine.
"That damn nerd is fighting all the strong villains!" Bakugou growled, using his explosions to soar towards the Plaza. That left Kendo to have to run and catch up unfortunately.
Aizawa was mid dodge when the bird beaked Nomu hang lined the pro hero, causing him to fall flat on his back.
"Sensei!" Izuku signed, leaping at the monster. He slammed a hammer he created, into its chest with all his and what he could summon of One for All's strength combined, hoping to have cause some damage to the villain. Aside from angering the Nomu, Izuku was able to knock it back a few feet away from Aizawa's body. Unfortunately, Izuku's few minutes of happiness was short lived as the Nomu got right back on its feet and shot towards Izuku slapping him away so it could focus on the man on the ground. While still a mindless monster, Nomu still knew that it was supposed to hurt the man now under their foot, and slowly began pressing its foot down on the man's chest. Izuku feeling his own pain and possible broken bones from that slap, cringed at the sound of what was most likely multiple broken ribs, and a muted groan from Aizawa.
"Nomu, don't kill him just yet, I want All Might to witness that." Shigaraki said absentmindedly, before turning to Izuku who was mid load of a cannon he had mimed. "Deku on the other hand…hurry up and capture him," gesturing at the green-haired teen.
With a screech, Nomu sped towards Izuku who reacted just as quickly and shot the cannon blasting a giant hole through the Nomus' chest. Izuku grinned, at the damage he had done to it, until the monster's chest had begun to regenerate. Once fully recovered it blasted towards Izuku again. Izuku stared in shock as the newly recovered Nomu went to attack him before quickly miming a wall in front of him. As the Nomu crashed into it, Izuku followed up with boxing the giant creature inside, slowly shrinking it down crushing the Nomu's body.
Shigaraki grew angry at the sight of his All Might killer get destroyed but smiled underneath the hand on his face when he saw his Nomu slowly begin to move. Something Izuku had not noticed, as he left the Nomu trapped in the box. While Izuku was distracted trying to put Aizawa's body on a makeshift gurney he had mimed, the Nomu quickly fixed his broken body, within the invisible box, breaking it while Izuku was looking away.
It then bull rushed towards the boy, arm outstretched for Izuku's head. Izuku, sensing the killing intent headed straight for him mimed a wall, however the Nomu rammed through it grabbing him by the back of his head intent on slamming him into the ground. Just as Izuku felt the hand going around his head, he quickly mimed a safety cushion softening the intense blow to the ground. Nevertheless, Izuku still felt immense pain from being slammed into the ground.
Within the few seconds Izuku drifted between unconsciousness, Izuku pondered on whether he could defeat this thing. It truly was on par with All Might and as he remembered, despite the strength of his quirk alongside One for All even All Might could break through all his constructs using less than half power. If that were the case, then what chance did he have against this Nomu.
At the main entrance those watching the plaza couldn't help but scream in horror at seeing their friend get smashed into the ground by the mutated monster. Yaoyorozu wanted so much to run down there and help but knew she had to watch over thirteen, meanwhile the others knew they would only be getting in the way.
Mina, who in a moment of weakness at seeing her friend being beaten down, had accidently released the mist villain. Thus, allowing him to escape from their hold ad head back to Shigaraki.
"Nooo!" Mina yelled.
Kendo and Bakugou stared in shock at the sight of their nerd's motionless body on the ground. The only indication he was alive was the slight twitch of his body. Nomu then tossed the boy to Shigaraki who only smirked at the mime powerhouse now in his clutches. Aizawa couldn't help but groan in pain, pissed at himself for letting one of his students be captured.
"NERD!" an angry voice growled.
Shigaraki had only a few seconds before a blonde boy was shooting his way with explosions aimed towards him.
"Nomu!"
Nomu jumped in front of his master and smacked Bakugou away, the boy grunting in slight pain. Thankfully Kendo was right behind him to catch him in her giant hands.
"Manhands." Bakugou greeted. Trying to figure out a way to get their nerd back.
"Bakugou, what the hell are we gonna do!" Kendo said panicking.
"Gonna not panic and focus on getting the nerd back!" Bakugou yelled.
Shigaraki sighed. "When will you npc's learn? If the mime couldn't beat Nomu, then, how could you? Honestly… Well, I guess I can't blame you for wanting to try. NPCs only know how to attack, even if it's useless."
A few seconds later Kurogiri appeared beside his leader.
"Ah, Kurogiri about time you show up. Where the hell have you been?"
Kurogiri cleared his nonexistent throat before answering. Mentally preparing himself for the berating he knew he would soon be receiving from the child like leader.
"I was caught up for a moment, but I am here now."
Shigaraki clicked his tongue at the mist man, "So hard to come by good help. That's why I want Deku. I've seen all his videos and he has just what I need to achieve my dream for sensei."
Kurogiri grumbled at the mention of Deku the great, still hurt by the mimes' false words.
"Anyway, besides getting caught, what's the status on the other brats?"
"One escaped, but thirteen has been taken out and is no longer able to fight."
Shigaraki groaned at the results of his helper's report. "Uh, if you weren't my getaway, I'd kill you. Whatever just keep on eye on those other brats."
The sound of groaning from beside him caught Shigaraki and Kurogiri's attention, both looking over to where the green-haired teen had been tossed. To their immense surprise, the kid was sitting up rubbing his head, and trying to move his jaw. Blood slowly dripping down his paint covered face.
"Oh? You're awake and with no bones broken? Master will truly like you." Shigaraki muttered.
"No." Izuku signed.
"Jaw broke."
"Nose fractured?"
"Possible Concussion."
"Where are you getting these very specific signs?" Shigaraki asked. "Do you have a pocket dimension quirk as well as your weird mime one or something?"
"?"
"What do you mean you don't know? You're literally bringing out different signs to indicate what you're saying and yet you don't know how you're doing it? And how are you still conscious, Nomu shoved you into the ground pretty hard!"
Izuku tried to smile at the villain but only succeeded in grimacing. The pain he felt all over his body was mind numbing. Although he knew he couldn't give up just yet. Instead Izuku slowly picked himself up while glaring at the villain, black and white lightning surrounded his body, much to the surprise of Shigaraki.
"Eh, what the hell kid? You're not supposed to be able to use a special move after all that!" Shigaraki whined. "And you still haven't said how you survived that?!"
Izuku smirked at the villain, blood dripping down his face. "CUSHION."
"You mimed a cushion! That's how you survived being pounded into the ground by Nomu?!" Shigaraki growled. "That's impossible! Grr, I will not let a mime and some npcs beat me."
"Nomu, take out those extras, and capture Deku."
Both Bakugou and Kendo gulped slightly worried about what was to come. That menacing beast looked way too strong even for them and with Eraserhead down they weren't sure they would be able to take it down.
The purple beast complied to his master's commands, shooting straight for Bakugou and Kendo first. Right as he was about to reach the two, a giant slab of ice slammed into the Nomu tossing it across the plaza.
"I knew you were all talk." Todoroki scoffed at Izuku, then shooting another block of ice at the main villain who dodged it by jumping out of the way.
"NO FAIR, ANOTHER NPC CAN'T ENTER THE FRAY WHILE WE'RE ALREADY IN GAME!" Shigaraki shouted. "Gaaaah, Nomu take them out already."
Nomu screeched in reply rushing back to the battle ground. Realizing it wouldn't be able to get the blonde and orange haired one he went for his other target. Before Todoroki or Izuku could react, the Nomu was breaking both of Eraserhead legs as if they were sticks.
Not wanting to cause any more worry for his students Aizawa did his best to hold back the painful scream he so wished he could let out. After Nomu was done it headed for Kendo and Bakugou again, the latter who released a huge explosion at the monster doing little to no damage. Both students hurriedly dodged out of the Nomus range with Todoroki shooting another wall of ice up as back up. Shigaraki decided the NPC's were more annoying than anything as he watched them continuously avoid his Nomu.
"Kurogiri stop those damn extras so Nomu can get back to Deku!"
"As you wish Shigaraki." Before Kendo, Bakugou and Todoroki knew it Kurogiri was creating a portal beneath them transporting them away from the plaza. Kendo and Bakugou ended up in the shipwrecked zone while it seems Todoroki ended up…well somewhere else.
In the earthquake zone
"TODOROKI! Oh man am I glad to see you." Kirishima huffed, tired from fighting so many villains. I could use some help."
Todoroki tsked, seeing there were still a few villains to be taken down. In a flash he sent a wall of ice towards them defeating them within seconds.
"Done." He then began walking away looking for the way back to the plaza, Kirishima following him.
"Thanks man, I was here by myself, and I'm pretty sure if you didn't show up, I probably would've been taken down." Kirishima said smiling.
Todoroki continued walking, ignoring the boy's kind words. The spiky haired boy could only cringe at his classmate. "Tough crowd" he thought.
"FUCKING, cough-cough- STUPID WELL DRESSED EXTRA! I'LL KILL-!" Bakugou shouted before being pulled underwater.
Kendo swam to the surface of the water to see if she could locate Bakugou when she felt a tug on her leg, then a second tug that began pulling her under water. As she got dragged under, she saw Bakugou already fighting several villains. Unluckily for him, due to being underwater the villains had the advantage. Realizing man hands was nowhere near him Bakugou decided to use one of his grenades to blast the villains away from him. This plan worked to defeat most of the villains but also served in injuring Bakugou.
As Kendo got pulled further under, she felt a sharp pain on her side, blood spilling from where one of the villains had attacked.
Focusing on her opponents and not the pain, Kendo enlarged her fists to block the next onslaught of attacks from the villains headed towards her. However, being underwater slowed down her movements immensely.
Just as it seemed Kendo was about to be defeated and Bakugou nowhere to be seen, Tsuyu appeared, amazingly knocking out each villain in record time. As she finished, she collected Kendo who gasped for air once on land. She smiled relieved once she saw Asui had already gotten to Bakugou.
"FOR…THE RECORDING…I DIDN'T NEED…YOUR SHITTY HELP!" Bakugou gasped, while lying on the ground holding his wounds.
"He...means...thank you." Kendo rasped, grateful for the frog quirked girl.
"I figured, ribbit." Tsuyu said. Noticing her classmates' injuries, she pulled out the few medical supplies she carried and wrapped them up to the best of her ability.
"That should stop the bleeding for now, ribbit."
"Thank you, Asui." Kendo said smiling. Then turning to where her boyfriend was still fighting. I hope Izuku is doing alright because I can't really do anything now with these injuries" she winced.
"Call me Tsuyu, and your welcome."
"Says you, shitty man hands!" Bakugou winced, before slowly getting up. Face turning from determination, to horror when Shigarakis' hand appears right over his face.
"You're a tough one to get rid of but I can change that right now." Shigaraki smirks.
"BAKUGOU!" Kendo yells.
Izuku looked on in horror at the chapped lip man went to place his hand on Bakugou. Without even thinking he mimed one of his strongest walls to stop the Nomu from interrupting him, then did the same to Bakugou ensuring Shigarakis attack was delayed. He then sprinted towards the villain in hopes to remove him away from his best friend and girlfriend.
"Damn Eraserhead, you really are cool. Face bashed up, body broken and yet you still manage to stop me from killing this kid. And you Deku, not only did you stop Nomu from attacking you, but you mimed a wall in front of me. Man, your quirk is amazing." Shigaraki said excitedly.
Izuku let out a sigh of relief, thanking the gods above he had a teacher like Eraserhead. And while any other time Izuku would feel happy for praise, seeing his girlfriend and best friend in such a state angered him.
":( "Izuku showed an angry face, black and white lightning emitted around his body.
"Oh, you seem a little angry Deku." Shigaraki said smirking. "Well this was fun but seeing as it seems All Might is a no show, I think we'll just finish off you lower npcs."
"Nomu kill them, now."
However, before Nomu could even attack anyone Izuku was soaring towards the Nomu, pure killing intent radiating off the mime. In an instant the monsters head was sliced off with a sword Izuku mimed. No one could speak at the sight before them, the Nomu falling forward to its knee's dead.
Shigaraki was speechless at what the mime had achieved. His unbeatable creation was killed right before his eyes. Meanwhile Kendo and the others were shocked the never mad and always smiling mime, had done such a thing.
"WHAT THE HELL?! NO FAIR YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
While Shigaraki was throwing a tantrum, Izuku had figured it was best to have Tsuyu take Bakugou and the others up to the plaza and away from here. With the Nomu still possibly active, he hoped that wasn't the case despite being decapitated, and Shigaraki now unhinged, Izuku wasn't sure what would happen next.
"Hey, I think Deku is trying to tell us something, ribbit."
Kendo turned to her boyfriend and saw him pointing to Eraserhead then to the plaza, then signed with his hands walking away. She hated that he wanted them to take Eraserhead and themselves away from the fight down here, but he was right they were injured and really of no use to him.
"He wants us to leave and take Aizawa sensei to the plaza, out of danger." She sighed.
"Fuck that I'm stayi- "Bakugou tried, but once he saw Kendo's glare, relented. He knew even with the injuries he sustained he would only be in the way, besides the nerd already took out the Nomu and the Shigaraki dude was just throwing a tantrum so it was the perfect time to escape.
Within minutes they were gone from the plaza and up the stairs to the entrance of the USJ.
"FUUUCK! FUCK! FUCK! No fair!" Shigaraki screamed.
Izuku was wide eyes, at the fact this villain was still throwing a tantrum. He turned to the mist dude, who just shrugged.
Still upset at his creation being killed, but finally through with his fit, Shigaraki decided it was time for revenge on the damn mime boy who ruined his plans. Meanwhile Izuku decided it would be a good idea to turn his back on the villain leader dude, in order to box up the Nomus remains. Remembering Shigaraki had mentioned the Nomu had regeneration Izuku figured that was only possible if it could get its body parts back together. If only Izuku had remembered All Might's words to always remain vigilant then the day would have ended in a success.
"Hot damn, I just killed a man...monster?! monster man?" Izuku questioned. While looking over his work. Despite not truly regretting his actions, Izuku knew he wasn't going to get away scot free with killing the man bird monster.
Smiling despite knowing he would be facing consequences once they got back to school Izuku turned to the entrance of the plaza to shoot his girlfriend and Bakugou a thumbs up. He was a bit confused as to why they looked horrified, while waving frantically, and pointing behind him.
"Huh?" Izuku signed, turning around to see what they were trying to show him.
Izuku had but a few seconds to register the unbearable pain that had appeared on his back as Shigaraki appeared right before his eyes, clutching him to his chest while laying his palm flat on the mimes back.
"Gotcha Deku. Don't worry I'm not gonna kill ya, I just wanna weaken ya enough so we can take ya to sensei and he can play with ya." The masked villain whispered into the boys' ear.
All of 1-a will never forget the cry of pain heard from their resident mime as the league of villain leader continued to disintegrate their classmates body armor finally getting to their bare back. Eventually blood began to rapidly flow down Izuku's back where his skin was being destroyed.
Izuku's body went into shock, as the immense pain dealt to his back continued to increase. No matter how hard he wished he could create a construct, nothing appeared. Izuku's mind was to focused on the pain occurring to his body, that he was unable to try and create anything useful to help him escape Shigarakis hold.
Bakugo and Kendo could only watch in horror as their best friend was being disintegrated. Bakugou cursed himself for not being able to go over there and help. It only served to piss him off more that he let himself be injured at the shipwreck zone. Kendo had to be held back by Mina and Yaoyorozu once they saw her try to run towards the plaza. Ignoring her still bleeding side she screamed at her friends to let her go.
"IZUKU NEEDS ME, LET ME GO!" she cried.
Mina and Yaoyorozu could only shut their tear-filled eyes, sorry at the fact they were having to hold back their friend from going to her boyfriend.
"Kendo…if you go down there then you'll just get hurt too." Mina cried.
"SO, WHAT WE JUST LET HIM DI-!"
"BOOM!"
"HAVE NO FEAR FOR I AM HERE!" Every turned around to see the sight of All Might not smiling. However, they could only deadpan at the late showing hero.
All Might had thought that despite him showing up late, that everything would still be alright, but as he heard his young successor screaming out in pain, he immediately knew he was wrong.
Shigaraki had stopped in the disintegration of Deku, allowing the mime to fall flat on his face. Blood pooling around the young mime. While Shigaraki was happy for the hero's appearance he was also dismayed at the fact he didn't have his Nomu here to fight him. In the end he had no choice but to retreat now that the number one hero was here, as bad as he wanted to kill him.
"Well, we didn't get our objective done, but at least we got Deku." Shigaraki grinned, grabbing the mime by his collar. Kurogiri take us home."
"Very well."
Shigaraki was halfway through the portal with Deku when he turned around, to say some final words. Something he would always regret.
"Better luck next ti-
Just as Shigaraki was about to finish his exiting speech shots were fired at the villain. Each round making direct contact with its target.
"GAH!"
The bullets hitting Shigaraki caused the villain to drop Izuku just before he fell back into the portal. All Might thankfully rushed to catch the young mime before Kurogiri could try and teleport him back to their base. He then jumped away from the duo ensuring Izuku was kept out of the villains reach.
"Shit!" Shigaraki looked around to see he was lying on the ground of their bar, blood spilling from his wounds.
"I was so close to getting Deku for Sensei!"
"If you are truly that set on having Deku perform for Sensei's birthday then perhaps it would just be easier to request him?" Kurogiri said, while tending to the young man's wounds.
"Tsk, I guess but I just figured this woulda been faster."
All Might frowned at the sight of his successor being carried away on a gurney to the hospital. The sight of so much blood soaking through the young child's clothes down his back was a horrifying image that should not have even happened, and only served to remind him how irresponsible he was today. A life was almost lost because of him and he's not sure he'll ever be able to forgive himself for that.
All Might turned to look at the rest of his students and sighed in relief at the sight of the students with minor scrapes and bruises. His eyes settled on young Bakugou, Kendo and Aizawa, that relief drowned in guilt again. The three were being taken to recovery girl for medical care as they were the ones with the heaviest injuries. Although it seemed Kendo was reluctant to go and was requesting to go to the hospital Izuku was at. "Young love."
"Um...All Might I was wondering where Izuku went?" Kirishima asked, Todoroki standing by his side, stoically. After all fighting was done Todoroki and Kirishima had finally showed up, any and all villains left back in the other zones defeated, also explaining why the two took so long to make it back to the plaza.
The number one hero turned to the 1-A students before recognizing one of them as Izuku's fans he told him about. "Such loyal followers" All might chuckled.
"Ah, well Izuku's injuries were…quite severe compared to your fellow classmates and although Recovery girl did her best to heal him, he still required a lot more medical help. He was taken to straight to Musutafu general Hospital where he'll be getting the best care there."
All of 1-A and 1-B sighed in relief, despite how weird Izuku was, the mime boy still saved all their lives at the cost of his own.
Bakugou and Kendo sat sitting up in their respective hospital beds at U.A in silence.
The explosive user had bandage wraps all around his arms with what seems like a scar now settled on his cheek from shrapnel that shot off from his own arm grenades. While Kendo had both fists wrapped in bandages and her side now sporting a compression wrap to sooth any pains she might still have.
Despite being told they were in no way responsible for Izuku's injuries, both knew they were feeling the same exact thing, guilt for not being there for Izuku. No words needed to be said to express how disappointed they were in themselves and not knowing the status of his health only made them feel worst.
All Might walked into this same sight a few hours later, sad to see two promising heroes in training look so defeated.
