AN: And we are back with another chapter! Thank you all so much for the support on the last chapter. It really means a lot. Sorry for the late update as well got super busy these last few weeks. So without further adieu, let's just jump into it!
For Hope
It was a difficult moment for everyone involved in the attempted rescue of Eri. Overall the mission was a complete and total failure. The heroes failed to capture Overhaul, failed to keep the surrounding homes safe, only managed to bring in low level thugs, failed to save Eri, but maybe worse of all Nighteye was dead.
Mirio sat in the waiting room of the hospital with his hands up to his forehead, his mentor was dead and the only one who knew what happened was himself. "Mirio…" the young hero in training looked up to find Izuku.
"Midoriya, h-how's everyone else? Are they fine?" he asked, not worried about his well-being.
Izuku nodded as he sat down beside him, "A bit shaken up but they'll be fine."
"Good, good…" said Mirio.
"What happened back there?" Izuku asked.
Mirio tightened his grip, "I messed up, that's what happened."
Flashback
Mirio was chasing Overhaul through the corridors of the facility, dodging spikes that came out of the wall.
Turning a corner, Mirio stopped suddenly when he saw a hand reach out for him. His eyes widened but he still managed to lean back and dodge it. "This one is fast. Isn't he?" Said Shigaraki.
Retreating Mirio slid to a stop, "You, you're part of the league of villains. Why are you helping the Yakuza!?"
"Simple, to get what I want." Explained Shigaraki. "The more heroes we eliminate the easier my job becomes."
"You won't get away with this. I'll take you down, and save Eri at the same time." Said Mirio charging up One for All.
"You mean this girl?" From behind Shigaraki, Overhaul appeared with Eri in his arms. She was in tears as they approached. Mirio took a step forward but as he did Shigaraki raised his hand right in her face. "You know what my quirk does, don't you? Take another step and you'll watch as the girl dies."
Gritting his teeth Mirio stopped, "Okay, okay, just don't hurt her."
"That will all depend on you." Said Overhaul. "Do as we say and the girl lives."
Mirio nodded, "What do you want?"
"For starters you can call that speedster over here. He and I have some unfinished business." Said Shigaraki.
"Flash?" Asked Mirio confused as to why they would want him.
"Yes, him. Bring him here." Shigaraki's blood began to boil. "He's the reason why the master's plans have gone wrong. He's the reason why he hasn't won yet. If it wasn't for him, we would have taken over by now!" He yelled as his anger grew, causing his hand to get closer to Eri.
"Okay, okay…I'll bring him here. Just stop!" Said Mirio watching in horror.
"Relax." Warned Overhaul. "Your emotions are out of control."
"Shut up!" Yelled back Shigaraki. "You don't know what it feels like to have everything you worked for just fall apart."
That's when Mirio saw it, an opening. Waiting for the last possible moment when both villains weren't paying attention he struck.
Quickly activating his powers he flew through the ground. Both Overhaul and Shigaraki turned and saw as Mirio disappeared.
Overhaul looked back at Shigaraki, "Run…" is all he could say before Mirio suddenly appeared from the floor and grabbed Eri. Snatching her from his arms Mirio managed to kick both villains away.
"You okay?" Asked Mirio now holding Eri in his arms. She nodded, "Good, hold tight I'll get you out."
"Eri! Give her back!" Yelled Overhaul. Mirio tightened his grip on the girl. But much to his surprise Overhaul began to smile. "Is that what you expected me to say? Please, why would I ever say something so cliche."
Mirio was confused, "But I have Eri now. She is safe."
"Are you sure that's Eri?" Asked Overhaul.
Before Mirio could even make sense of what was going on he suddenly felt something prick him on the neck. "Gah!" He then felt something inject itself into him.
Looking down Mirio was surprised that it was Eri, she just stabbed him with a small red dart. "Eri…"
Mirio watched as Eri's innocent face began to twist into an evil smile. "Sorry, try again." That's when her face began to melt off.
Jumping out of his arms was Toga almost completely naked. "Man, that transformation was hard. It's really difficult to change into someone younger and smaller."
"Good work Toga. You did well." Siad Shigaraki.
Pulling the dart free from his neck Mirio threw it aside, "Where's Eri?"
"She's gone, you won't find her here." Said Overhaul walking over to Mirio. "Seems like you just missed her."
"That's it, I'm taking you down!" Mirio tried to activate his quirk but felt nothing. "Huh?" That's when it hit him, "Oh no…"
"You finally realized it. That bullet was one of the upgraded versions, which means your quirk is gone." Said Overhaul.
Mirio kept trying to activate either one of his quirks but couldn't, they were really gone. But he didn't have time to dwell on it when a shard of floor came flying, cutting his shoulder.
Blood trailed down his arm as he stood in disbelief. "I-I didn't even see him move…"
That's when another spike came in and cut the student across his chest. One by one small sharp pieces of the ground flew towards Mirio.
By the time Overhaul stopped Mirio was on his knees, blood running down the cuts the villain caused. "That was easier than I thought." Said Shigaraki. "See, that's what happens when your sense of justice is blinding."
Touching the ground Overhaul reshaped a portion into a spike, "So long kid." Throwing his arm forward the spike went flying into the air.
Mirio could do nothing as the spike grew, 'I messed up, I really messed up. I should have just taken these two down, I should have checked to see if that was really Eri…damn it!'
Mirio closed his eyes and waited, but the pain of being stabbed never came. Instead he felt nothing, opening his eyes he was surprised to see the tip of the spike right in his face. But what shocked him was how it stopped, "Sir!" Yelled Mirio as Nighteye was the one who stopped it using his own body.
The spike impaled Nighteye through the abdomen, "Y-You alright Lemillion?" Asked Nighteye.
"S-Sir…I'm sorry…." Lemillion froze in fear as blood splattered onto the floor underneath the hero.
But even in so much pain Nighteye smiled, "It will be fine Mirio, trust me."
Flashback Ends
"And that's all I remember," said Mirio. "After that my mind went blank when I saw Sir fall over."
"I see." getting up, Izuku touched Mirio's shoulder. "Get some rest."
With that Izuku began to walk away, "Wait!" Izuku turned. "What about the others? The other versions of you, where are they now?"
"In a prison cell. We have no idea if these other versions of me are friendly or not." explained Izuku. "Until we do, they will be locked up."
UA
Arriving back at the school Izuku stopped beside Mei, "So how are things here?"
Mei looked down at her tablet, "I mean they are who they say they are. You."
Izuku looked through clear prison cells with each and everyone of Izuku's lookalikes. "Well this just became more complicated. Also, when did you build these? Anti vibration glass, stable at a molecular level…it's as if you built these with me in mind?"
Mei looked at Izuku, "That's because they were. But can you really blame me? The speed you run at, if you're not careful you could destroy the world."
Izuku nodded, "Alright fair enough. So what did you find out about these Izuku's?"
"Well let's start with claws over here. Or you can call him by his hero name, The Wolverine." Mei pointed at one of the cells. "Claims to come from a world where he was born quirkless. He was then abducted, experimented on, and had his memories wiped clean."
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Experimented on? What kind?"
Mei raised the tablet to Izuku, "These kinds." Izuku's eyes widened when he saw the tablet, "His entire skeletal structure is coated in a super dense metal. Those claws we saw are also part of him."
"T-This is insane! This kind of procedure should have killed him." said Izuku.
Nodding Mei agreed, "Normally it would but apparently he has a super regenerative quirk as well. Enhanced speed, super strength, and he possesses an indestructible body. He's the perfect weapon."
Izuku looked at the other Izuku, "He's been through so much…maybe even worse than me." Shaking his head, Izuku looked over to the other cell. "What about green guy over here?"
"Claims to be part of an intergalactic police force called the green lanterns." explained Mei. "That green light you saw comes from his ring. Which he claims is the most powerful weapon in the universe, able to create constructs and only limited to the imagination of the person wearing it. But other than that he too is quirkless. Oh and he goes by GL."
"Hmmm, interesting. Where is the ring now?" asked Izuku. Mei reached into her pocket and pulled out a small box. Taking it Izuku opened the box and removed the ring inside, he then lifted it up and slid it on. And much to his surprise it didn't work. "Doesn't work for me."
In the cell GL got up from his seat and noticed that it didn't work, "Oh? Looks like this me still hasn't conquered their fears."
Putting the ring back Izuku moved onto the third version of himself, "You took off his armor."
"And took his trident. This Izuku claims to be the king of Atlantis." said Mei.
Izuku was taken aback, "Atlantis, like the lost city?"
Mei nodded, "Apparently, he also has super speed, strength, and is able to control water at will. His armor and trident is made of super dense metal, if I had something to compare it to, I'd say it is slightly below claw Izuku over there."
"Interesting. Alright, what about this one? This is the version of me that scares me the most." said Izuku.
Arriving at the final cell the Izuku dressed in a gi was meditating, "That's…honestly I don't know. I tried to get a sample of his blood but the needle broke when I tried. I also saw that transformation and I have no explanation for that. It's as if it was magic."
Izuku narrowed his eyes, "I don't know….besides that what can you tell me?"
"Goes by the golden warrior. Fitting actually. And apparently, he isn't human, or at least not fully." Izuku looked at Mei, "He says he's half human, half something called Saiyan. They are an ancient alien race that has the power to control their Ki. Whatever that is." said Mei. "Other than that I can't don't know."
"Now for the million dollar question. Are they friendly?" asked Izuku.
"From what I can tell, yes. Well maybe Wolverine over there has a bit of a temper but overall he's a decent guy." Explained Mei.
"I heard that." Said Wolverine from the glass prison. "You do know we can break out of here if we wanted to, right?"
"You can try. These prisons were designed to handle me at my extreme speeds." Said Izuku. "Brute force won't be enough."
"Oh is that a challenge?" Asked the golden warrior. "I love a good challenge."
Placing his hand on the glass, this Izuku closed his eyes. Snapping them open he pushed against the glass with enough force to shatter it. Izuku stepped in front of Mei as one by one each Izuku in containment got free.
"Alright that's enough. You've proved your point." Said someone, coming into the room. "Unless you want to fight me I suggest you don't do anything rash."
All Might then appeared, all the other Izuku's looked at the number one hero. "I was built to kill you just so you know." Said the wolverine, scoffing at the sight of the hero. "So don't threaten me."
"Enough." Said Izuku, stepping between them. "I'll ask you this once and depending on your answer I might have to fight you. Are you here to hurt us?"
The other Izuku's looked at each other, "Actually, we don't know why we are here." Said GL. "I arrived here a couple of days ago."
"Same." Said wolverine. "The last I can remember I was in my world fighting when I was covered in metal and then I….died."
GL looked at Wolverine, "You too? Last thing I remember was being shot through the chest…Oh God, are we dead? Is this hell?"
"That's not possible, we are talking right now aren't we?" Questioned Wolverine. "Besides, I know a dead body when I smell one, and we don't have that smell."
"Which begs the question, what, or who brought us here and why?" Questioned King Izuku.
"That I can kind of answer." Said Mei. "Basically, Izuku, this Izuku, ripped a hole in space and time. Opening rifts to other worlds, more specifically, your worlds. You must have gotten pulled here after your "death". And now you are stuck here until we figure out a way to send you back, we can't do the same thing as last time since going that speed almost destroyed the world."
All of the Izuku's looked at each other, "To achieve that level of power shouldn't be possible." Said GL. "The amount of pure kinetic energy needed to make space collapse in on itself would be equal to that of a black hole. Not to mention it has to be done at a specific frequency to open the rifts to other worlds."
"Yeah I know it's impossible, but yet here you are." Said Izuku. "Look, I'll try to figure out a way to send you back home but for now stick around."
"Actually, I think it's best if we help you find Eri." Said Saiyan Izuku.
"Oh, and why's that?" Asked Izuku.
Saiyan Izuku looked at Izuku, "Because there's something in your world that has me worried. Their power is insane and you need to find them and take them down."
Izuku was confused, "Wait, why me? Can't you find them and take them down yourself?"
Saiyan Izuku thought about it, "I would if I could but after that initial burst in energy I can't find them anymore. It's as if they just vanished."
"So after he finds them, then what?" Asked Mei. "You take them down and rescue Eri?"
"It's not that simple." Said Wolverine. "It's not like you guys could explain why there are 4 different Izuku's running around all with different powers. Besides, this is your world so you deal with it."
"So you're not going to help rescue a scared little girl?" Questioned Izuku, stepping up to his clawed counterpart. "Do you even care?"
Wolverine grabbed Izuku by the costume, "Listen bub, just because you're me doesn't mean I won't kick your ass. If you weren't so focused on us, you could have saved her yourself. Don't push your failures onto others. And for your information, my world's Eri is my daughter so don't say I don't care."
Throwing Izuku back, Wolverine crossed his arms, "Then help me, help us save her." Said Izuku.
GL sighed, "Well, where do we start?"
Izuku looked up to see his other selves nodding, "First we have to find her. Any of you guys good at tracking?"
Wolverine, Saiyan Izuku, and GL all lifted up their hands, "More than I thought, good. All Might, call Aizawa, we'll need any and all Intel he has on Overhaul's location."
All Might nodded, "I'll call him over right away." Going to get Aizawa, All Might disappeared leaving all the Izuku's alone.
"So, what's with her?" Asked GL. "You two seem rather close."
Izuku and Mei looked at each other, "Oh well, it's because we are." Said Izuku. "We are actually a couple."
The other Izuku's couldn't believe what they just heard, "What!?" They all yelled out in unison.
"Geez! Why is that so weird?" Asked Mei.
"Well it's just…none of us saw you in that light." Said Wolverine.
"Yeah, exactly." Said King Izuku. "From what I could tell all of us like the same girl."
"And who might that be?" Asked Izuku, curious as to why this was a big deal.
"Ochaco Uraraka." They all said at the same time.
Both Izuku and Mei flinched, "Wow, okay…. really all four of you like the Uraraka in your world?" Asked Mei.
King Izuku raised his hand, "Married actually, she's my queen."
Saiyan Izuku also lifted up his left hand and showed a ring, "Same!"
GL nodded, "My Ochaco has a very special ring, like mine, but more violet in color."
Wolverine looked at Izuku, "I was going to ask her before this all happened."
Izuku rubbed the back of his head, "Wow, okay so I'm the only one who has Mei as a partner."
"Special case I guess," said Wolverine. "But that's not important, what is, is finding that girl. If she's anything like the Eri our worlds she's special."
GL nodded, "Agreed, but we should move carefully, this isn't our world. They might be similar but we don't know how our powers would affect this world."
"Yeah I probably shouldn't use all my transformations, unless I have to." Said Saiyan Izuku.
"You have more than one transformation?" Asked Wolverine.
Saiyan Izuku nodded, "Yeah, in total I have 2, not counting Kaio-Ken or great ape forms. So yeah…"
Izuku was amazed, "Woah…" he then shook his head, "Anyway, we can talk about powers later, right now finding Eri should be our number one priority."
"Eri doesn't have the same energy signature here so I can't track her." Saiyan Izuku said.
"Looks like it's my time to shine." Said GL. "Ring, scan the world for Eri." Creating a green construct of Japan, a pin then appeared and landed on said construct. "There she is."
"Seems like it's in the middle of nowhere?" Said Izuku, confused as to why they would be there. "Whatever, Mei, get in touch with All Might and tell him we are looking at a possible lead on Eri."
Mei nodded as Izuku pulled down his mask, "I will. Just be careful, alright?"
Izuku looked at Mei and smiled, "I'm always careful." He then turned to the others, "Let's go."
Taking off, Izuku ran towards the location, and within a second he had arrived. "Man, you really are fast." Said Saiyan Izuku as he landed. The area around them was empty, nothing but dried up plants laid.
"I can say the same about you. You almost caught up to me." Commented Izuku.
"I would have won if I didn't have to carry these two." Said GL, as Wolverine and King Izuku were in a green bubble.
"I hate flying." Said wolverine as he stepped out. But as soon as he did he sniffed the air. "Something isn't right here. I can smell several dozen of the same person."
"Ring, scan for traps." Said GL as a green light shined onto the ground. A few seconds later the light stopped, "Hmmm, there doesn't seem to be any traps but Wolverine is right. The ring says there are several of the same people here."
King Izuku narrowed his eyes, "Guys, if multiple versions of us appeared, wouldn't it stand to reason that several other versions of the villains might appear?"
Izuku's eyes went wide, "Then that means…."
Saiyan Izuku raised his fist and threw it down, striking the ground below. The earth then began to crack before splitting open revealing a metal platform. "So this is where they crawled to. Alright everyone, stand back. I'm blowing this place up."
Opening the palm of his hand Saiyan Izuku began to charge up an attack, that's when a green ball suddenly appeared. Izuku looked at the ball in shock, how did he just create energy from nothing? Was it magic, or something else?
But he had no time to think about it when they had to get clear. Throwing down the energy blast it erupted into a massive explosion. Through the smoke and debris saiyan Izuku floated down, looking around he noticed that it was a large open area with no one around. "It's safe guys!"
Coming down were the rest of the Izukus, "What is this place, some sort of bunker?" Asked GL as his green light illuminated the area.
"Seems that way," said Izuku. "Let's go, the quicker we find Eri the faster we can find a way to send you guys back to your world."
The group then walked through a set of doors and were greeted by a long hallway. They pressed on but as they walked Wolverine put his hand out stopping the group, "Someone is coming." He said, sniffing the air.
GL readied his ring, King Izuku lifted his trident, Wolverine popped his claws, Saiyan Izuku got into a fighting stance, and finally Izuku's green lightning jumped off of him. "Seems like the gang's all here." A voice said coming into view. Izuku's eyes widened as he saw who it was, Overhaul.
Saiyan Izuku dropped his guard, "Really? That's it? His power level is normal."
Wolverine stepped up, "If that's the case, why don't I deal with him." He said, cracking his neck.
Overhaul smirked at the sight of Wolverine, "You want to play with me? Please, you're not even tall enough to go on a roller coaster. How could you possibly…" but as Overhaul was speaking Wolverine's fist suddenly appeared in his face.
With a loud thud, Wolverine managed to punch Overhaul in the face with so much force that he sent the villain flying back.
Overhaul crashed and rolled to a stop meters away, "Just like that." Said Wolverine as blood ran down Overhaul's nose.
Wiping clean the blood Overhaul balled his fist, "Y-You bastard! I'll shred you to pieces!"
Slamming his fist into the ground Overhaul reshaped the ground into spikes. The spike train went forward, threatening Wolverine. But as the spikes approached Wolverine disappeared from sight.
It was only until Overhaul felt a sharp pain from his back that he noticed what had happened. Looking back his eyes widened as Wolverine had his claws dug into his back and coming out his front. "You are a real piece of shit even in my world." Pulling his claws free the blood began to run. It dripped down onto the floor, but soon, Overhaul himself would fall to his knees before collapsing, dead.
Izuku was stunned,"Y-You killed him."
Retracting his claws Wolverine looked back, "People like him don't deserve to live. Besides I can already tell, you would have let him live. Trust me, if you don't kill people like him, others will get hurt."
Izuku looked down to see the blood pool underneath Overhaul. But before he could say anything else King Izuku walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Do not fret over this too much. The beast is right, these type of people can't live. All we can do is save those they've hurt. Come now, let's find the girl."
They then began to walk but they didn't get far when something came flying from down the hall. Izuku was barely able to see it as it flew right in Wolverine.
Whatever it was, it stabbed into his abdomen. "Ragh! Fuck!" He yelled out in pain.
Using his claws Wolverine slashed at whatever it was that hit him. He split the unknown object in two pieces, one part fell to the ground while the other stayed with Wolverine.
A piece of stone has pierced Wolverine, normally this type of injury would be fatal but thanks to his high pain tolerance he grabbed the piece. Pulling on it hard Wolverine yanked it out of himself and tossed it aside.
Breathing heavily, Wolverine looked up and snarled. Blood splashed down onto the floor but as it did the wound on his abdomen healed completely. "Who the fuck did that!"
"That would be me." said another voice appearing from the hallway. "It seems like this me wasn't enough." Stepping into the light the group was shocked to see Overhaul.
Wolverine growled, "How, I just killed you!"
Overhaul laughed, "You killed one of me. But as you already know the multiverse is grand, infinite versions of me exist."
Izuku stepped forward, "Those rifts Mei detected, how many of you are here?"
Smiling, Overhaul lifted his hand, "Enough."
From the hall several Overhauls suddenly came running out from every direction, even from behind them. "Damn it! We are surrounded." yelled Izuku as he ran at a group of Overhauls and punched them across the face.
GL was creating construct animals, "They keep coming!"
Throwing his trident King Izuku impaled several villains through the chest. Jumping over, he grabbed his trident and spun it around. "We can take these guys down easily but if they touch us we are as good as dead!"
Saiyan Izuku ducked and countered everyone of the Overhauls that tried to touch him. Flying up into the sky he cupped his hands together and fired a barrage of energy blasts into the ground. "We keep fighting! We have to save Eri!"
As Izuku and his counterparts were fighting he suddenly got a communication from Mei, "Izuku! Come in Izuku!"
Touching his earpiece while fighting Izuku answered, "A bit busy right now Mei."
"You have to…" Mei tried to tell him something but he heard only static. "There's…"
"What, Mei? I couldn't hear you, Mei! What's going on?" he asked, but before he could get an answer the ground suddenly began to shake. "Great now what!"
Saiyan Izuku's eyes widened, "What is that?" He turned and looked below him, he could sense something, no, rather someone. "There you are. You guys stay here! I'll deal with the strong one!"
Flying down, Saiyan Izuku crashed through the floor and went deeper into the base. "Great, he just left us." Said Izuku as he rapidly punched an Overhaul away. "We need a way to take all of them down at once."
GL thought about it and got an idea, "I got it! Hey Flash, get ready to take them down, fast." Izuku nodded.
Getting to work GL created a massive green bubble around them, expanding inward it began to push the Overhauls towards the center. The trio of Izukus braced for the bubble but to their surprise, the green went right through them.
Now all bunched up GL looked at Izuku, "Now!"
Taking off Izuku ran around the bunch and began to knock them out with a precise and hard punch to the side of the head. Green lightning circled the group before sliding to a stop. Izuku dusted his hands off. "That should do it. For now at least."
Izuku then suddenly felt someone smack his back, "Nice going kid. You didn't kill them but you got the job done." Wolverine said as he stood beside him.
"A fine job indeed." Said King Izuku. "Now, let's go see where the other one went off to."
They then walked over to the hole in the floor Saiyan Izuku left and noticed that it went down far, really far. "He tore through the ground like it was nothing." Said Izuku.
"So are we just going to stand here or what?" Asked GL. "Let's go."
He was about to create a platform for everyone to stand on when an explosion rocked the base. From the hole, flames erupted, throwing everyone to the floor.
From the flames something came flying out, Izuku shielded his eyes as whoever it was clad in golden light. The explosion disappeared revealing Saiyan Izuku floating in the air, his clothes now ripped and with cuts on his body. "Man, you really are a tough bastard aren't you."
"Hey! What the hell happened!?" Asked GL as he floated up towards the Saiyan. But as he flew something came flying out from the hole.
GL saw it and quickly put up a shield but whoever this was smashed right through it like it was nothing. "What!?" As the shattered pieces of his construct fell GL's eyes widened when something came swinging at him.
In a desperate attempt GL put up a shield of green light around him. But whoever this was grabbed the shield and began to crush it. Focusing with everything he had GL gritted his teeth, but even so cracks began to appear around the shield.
"Let him go!" yelled King Izuku as he sprung into action, jumping into the air he threw his trident at this mystery person.
The trident flew into the air, but just as it was about to hit this person they suddenly reached up and managed to grab it out of the air without looking. King Izuku couldn't believe it, "You dare stop my attack! I am a king!" Landing back down on the ground, King Izuku's eyes began to glow green with power. Lifting his hands into the air the king forced the ground beneath him to break sending pillars of water spewing high into the sky.
Closing his fist the king threw a punch causing the pillars of water to spiral before shooting into the sky. The water crashed into the person still crushing GL's shield, completely engulfing them. But only a second later a piercing sound was heard, Izuku then looked over to the king to find his own trident dug into his chest.
The water fell to the floor as the king lost his concentration. Wolverine, with the help of Izuku, ran on the wall. "I hope you know what you're doing." said Izuku.
Wolverine smiled as he popped his claws, "You doubt yourself?"
Izuku laughed, "Give him hell!" Building up kinetic energy in his hand Izuku lightly tapped Wolverine in the back causing all that energy to push him away. Screaming through the air Wolverine pointed his claws forward.
"You're mine!" yelled Wolverine as his claws were inches from hitting. But at the last moment the mystery person turned and connected with a hit to Wolverine's head. The impact rattled his brain causing it to crash into his adamantium skeleton and pin ball inside.
Now knocked out Wolverine's body went limp, but the person wasn't done. Grabbing him by the claws the person flung his body towards the Saiyan. Not expecting it, Wolverine's claws dug into the Saiyan's chest before the rest of his metal body crashed into him.
Back with GL he was still desperately trying to keep his shields up but now that the other person wasn't preoccupied they crushed the shield. A massive wave of green light shined throughout the area, falling to the ground GL's costume was torn. As he hit the floor the green around his body faded as he lost consciousness.
Let alone Izuku looked around to see his other selves defeated, panic began to fill his heart. "W-Who are you?"
Landing on the ground the mystery person began to walk towards Izuku, "I'm the true Overhaul."
Izuku couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was Overhaul, just Overhaul. "Lies! Overhaul doesn't have this kind of power!"
Overhaul laughed, "True, or at least I didn't. Not until I met my other selves. You'd be surprised what kind of power they have. That's when I thought, what if I took those powers, what if I had ultimate power. So I took it, some gave up easily, while others didn't. But in the end I broke them down and forced them to be a part of me. You can imagine the mess."
Izuku clenched his fist, Overhaul smiled, "Do you really want to fight me?"
"I don't have a choice. I need to save Eri." said Izuku.
"Oh right, the girl. Sorry, but you won't be able to save her, not with those injuries." Izuku was confused, he wasn't injured. But that's when several spikes came flying from underneath him.
With lightning crackling around him Izuku began to move, but he wasn't enough. The spikes slashed at his legs, before climbing and slashing at his arms, neck, and face. Now covered in cuts and with blood running down his body, Izuku fell to one knee. "Not bad, you managed to escape with mild injuries. I was trying to kill you just then. However this is where you die, I will reshape this world. Not even the league of villains would be able to stop me!"
Raising his hand Overhaul was about to reshape the entire area into nothing but liquid earth and metal. Izuku closed his eyes, 'Come on Izuku! Do it! Stop holding back!'
Snapping his eyes open, green lightning sparked as he pushed himself up. The force of just getting up was enough to push Overhaul back a few feet. The room they were in suddenly was engulfed in lightning as Izuku ran around and grabbed everyone.
Zooming in and out Izuku dropped off his other selves at UA before going back one final time. Getting to GL he hoisted him up and looked back at Overhaul who was casually looking at Izuku. He was allowing Izuku to take them away, "I'll see you soon Izuku Midoriya." He said smiling.
Izuku narrowed his eyes, "You can count on it."
Letting out his speedster lightning, Izuku forced Overhaul to shield his eyes from the green glow. Once he was gone Overhaul removed his hand to see no one left, "Now then, let's go see how Eri is doing." Making his way down to the holding cells Overhaul couldn't believe it. The door to Eri's room was wide open, he bent down and inspected the broken pieces of metal door. "These shards, only a speedster could have done that. Impossible, he didn't have time to take the girl…. unless…." Overhaul thought back to when Izuku left. "That lightning, he wasn't just showing off. He was distracting me…"
Overhaul smiled, "Well played. But you just made the worst mistake of your life. You couldn't even comprehend the value Eri has. I will find her, and you will all die."
UA
"Someone get Recovery Girl!" Yelled Aizawa as he tended to the fallen Izuku's injuries. Littered all over the floor of the nurses office were all of the Izukus. "What the hell happened over there…"
Just then a loud boom was heard, turning Aizawa found Izuku, bleeding. "I'll tell you what happened." Izuku breathed a sigh of relief, "Mission accomplished."
In his arms was a scared little girl, "W-Where am I?" She asked, in a shaky and soft voice.
Looking down at Eri, Izuku smiled, "Don't worry Eri, you're safe now. That guy won't hurt you anymore. Come on, let's get you taken care of."
Putting her on a bed Izuku could feel her grip on his costume, she didn't want to let go. "P-Please don't go "
Pulling off his mask Izuku ran his hand between his hair, "Hey it's okay, I won't go anywhere. Promise."
Eri slowly nodded, "Okay…"
Aizawa then walked up behind Izuku, "We need to leave. UA isn't safe enough. Overhaul will be coming after her."
"All Might might know somewhere we can take her." Explained Aizawa.
But Izuku shook his head, "It won't be safe enough."
"Then what do you suggest?" Asked Aizawa.
"Mei and I know of only one place that is isolated enough and well defended enough for her." Izuku looked at Aizawa. "I need you to call Mei."
"Whatever you're planning on doing won't work." Said Wolverine, waking up. "Gah, my head."
Izuku looked at his counterpart, "Why?"
"Because of you. It's clear to see that the rest of us have battle experience. But you, you have none or very little." Explained Wolverine. "You freaked out when I killed that one guy. You and that golden Izuku are probably the only two who can actually touch Overhaul. You can't fight is basically what I'm saying."
"I know how to fight." Said Izuku. "Aizawa taught me a bit."
"Yeah well it's shit." Said Wolverine. "So that's why I'll teach you. To fight, to win, but most important, to kill."
AN: DUN DUN DUN! The gang of Izukus have just saved Eri! For now at least, Overhaul will come for her and they better be ready. But since Overhaul just kicked their asses I'd say things won't go how they want it. But what makes Eri so special, maybe she has another power within her? Find out next time!
