Here comes the next chapter. This is the second to last chapter before the wait for six more. This also marks the end of the USJ Arc. Now to reply to some reviews.
Guest(1): Why would they kidnap Ruby? The whole reason the leauge kidnapped Bakugo was because they thought they could turn him into a villain. They'll, quickly, realize that Ruby would never join them.
catastrophiqu: They'll show up eventually. I have plans.
Guest(2): I'll leave this one to Ruby and Izuku. (The question: Hey Ruby and Izuku what would happen if you two found your self in bed naked and wedding rings on your fingers and Ruby, Yang bursts through the door to kill your new husband?)
Ruby: That's be like finding out I married my brother. *Shudders* Also RUN IZUKU RUN!
Izuku: I'd think I'd be dead before Yang even shows up. Finding out I just married my sister with out me knowing and then finding out I likely just did it with her, would probably cause me to die of shock.
Ruby: Though if you do want to me and Izuku together, check zmanxv's newest fanfic Tales of Heroes. Our ship is the main one planned for that story.
Izuku: But that's not happening in this one so tough.
With that out of the way, onto the chapter.
USJ Arc
Chapter 29: The Attack's Effects
Tomura exited the portal to the bar, which served as the base of operations. He groaned in pain from the bullet wounds. The screen in the room came to life.
"It would appear your attack didn't go so well Tomura." A male voice spoke.
"I was shot in both my legs, Nomu was overpowered, and the mooks we brought along got their ass' kicked by everyone." Tomura replied in annoyance. "All Might weakened my ass. He was in perfect health."
"All Might has weakened, though not to the extent I had expected. Good thing this didn't cost too much." The voice noted. "Anyways what of our Nomu? Did you retrieve him?"
"Unfortunately no…" Kurogiri expressed. "He was sent flying and without precise coordinates, I have no way of finding him."
"And after all the trouble we went through to make him as strong as All Might. Grrr…" Another voice angrily spoke.
"Such a shame." The first voice expressed nonchalantly.
"Strong… that reminds me. There was one kid, he claimed he could bring out strength equal to one-quarter of All Might's power, though it hurt him. But I think if not for that limitation he probably bring out more." Tomura stated.
"Oh?" The voice expressed curiously.
"He used that to trick me into revealing the Nomu's moveset." Tomura added.
"Less trick and more took advantage of your childish nature." Kurogiri clarified.
"Shut up." Tomura retorted. "Anyways, even with that we still could have killed All Might. However that brat and his red tip friend stepped in and stalled us long enough for more pros to arrive."
"Hmm… Interesting. Regardless this operation was not a complete loss. This little stunt will allow us to bring in stronger troops." The voice spoke. "Mark my words Tomura Shigiraki. The next time we strike, the world will know the terror you represent."
Meanwhile, outside the USJ…
All the students save Izuku, who was being taken to UA to get his arm treated, were gathered together. The villains from the attack had been cuffed up and were being loaded into police transports. Naomasa was on the scene looking into everything.
"Looks like everyone but Midoriya came out unharmed." He noted as he looked over the students.
"Yeah I can't believe we all made it through in one piece." Mashiro noted.
"And you were all by yourself too right? Nice going." Toru added.
"Wait, I thought everyone was alone. I only survived by using hit and run tactics." Mashiro clarified. "Where'd you end up Hagakure?"
"The landslide zone with Todoroki and Kendo." Toru pointed out. "Todoroki's super strong and Kendo can be really intimidating too."
I/he could have frozen her. Close one… Both Shoto and Itsuka mentally noted.
"Doez anyone have a guess az to where my localization waz?" Yuga questioned.
"Those lowlifes were spread out just waiting for us." Fumikage pointed out.
"Yeah but we showed them." Eijiro added.
"Where do think I waz?" Yuga asked again.
"We're gonna get you kids back to the classroom for now. We'll get statements from you after you've had some time to calm down and recover from this." Naomasa stated.
"Anyone, anyone have guess?" Yuga continued to ask.
"Detective… what about Mr. Aizawa?" Tsuyu asked worriedly.
"And Professor Goodwitch?" Ruby asked.
"Well it's a secret." Yuga finished.
"Aizawa has many broken bones and fractures in both arms and face. Thankfully he doesn't have any brain damage. Also despite some damage to his eyes he shouldn't suffer from long term vision problems." Naomasa explained. "Glynda isn't in any better shape. She has four broken ribs and the bones in her arms have been smashed to bits.
Ruby gasped, Tsuyu let out a croak.
"They should recover in time, their injuries aren't life threatening." He added quickly. "All Might's injuries aren't terrible either. Recovery girl's healing should be enough for him. Speaking of which I have business in the nurse's office. Sansa I'll leave the rest to you."
"Understood sir." A man with a cat head replied.
As the detective made his way to car, an officer came running up to him.
"Detective Tsukauchi! I've got a report. We've apprehended what appears to be a villain in a grove on school grounds, about 400 meters from here." The officer stated with a salute.
"What's his condition?" Naomasa questioned.
"He appears unharmed. He didn't resist arrest. In fact he's not responsive in anyway." The officer explained.
"I see… Hm…" Naomasa mused.
As he mulled over this newly reported villain, he noticed Nezu, Thirteen, Midnight, and Snipe exit the USJ. He made his way towards them.
"Ahhh… Principle Nezu. If you don't mind, we'd like to do a thorough investigation of the school. Just in case." Naomasa stated.
"Of course, yes. Some won't be too happy with it, but you police do have the authority. Investigation is much more your forte anyway. Do what you feel is necessary." Nezu replied.
Naomasa nodded.
"Alright team, your clear to investigate the school grounds." He directed.
Later, in the Nurse's office…
Izuku sat on the bed examining his newly healed arm. While slightly more ragged looking, it had returned mostly to normal. Recovery Girl was examining All Might's injuries. The door opened and Ruby stepped in closing it behind her.
"How you guys doing?" She asked.
"Well I'm all healed up. Thankfully, I got away with just a broken arm." Izuku assured her.
"And I'm… gah… I'm doing better now." All Might grunted.
"A little rest and you'll be back in working order. Mostly." Recovery Girl stated. "Normally I'd scold these two knuckleheads for this, but given the situation I can't really do that now can I."
"Even so, I overdid it back there. My time limit's probably down to about an hour, hour and a half at best." All Might stated
"What/No way?!" Both Ruby and Izuku exclaimed.
"Don't worry you two, not much you could do about it. Save getting young Eri to perfectly master her quirk, but that's a long ways off." All Might noted. "Stuff happens what are you gonna do."
The door slid open again.
"Pardon me." Naomasa greeted as he stepped into the room.
He slid the door close.
"Looks your all doing better than when I last saw you." He noted.
"Tsukauchi good to see you again. To what do I owe the pleasure?" All Might greeted.
"A couple of things. The main one is the villains you encountered." Naomasa stated. "Though I'm sure you want to hear about how the students and your colleagues are doing first."
"You know me well my friend." All Might replied.
"Yes well Midoriya, thankfully, was the only one seriously injured. Everyone else just had cuts a bruises. Aizawa and Glynda are still being treated but there's nothing life threatening." Naomasa stated. "If not for you teachers fighting as hard you did, I think I'd have a different message."
"That's good to hear but… you got something wrong there Tsukauchi." All Might began. "The students fought just as hard as us teachers. Young Rose and her friends from Remnant are not the only ones to experience such a life or death situation now. These first years got a taste of the real world. The villains picked the wrong fight. Like iron thrusted into a fire, these young heroes in training have only been strengthened by this. And I'll be sure to help them go further beyond."
All Might gave a thumbs up. Izuku and Ruby looked at each other with new found confident smiles. Naomasa smiled as well.
Elsewhere…
Many of the villains from the USJ attack were bound up and stuffed in a large police transport vehicle. None talked, they had nothing to say for their failed attack. Among the villains there, was the electric quirk villain who had jammed the signals. Should have known this would have ended this way. I was an idiot to think that bird brain monster thing could stand up to All Might. Yeah the pay was good but what good does it do for me now. Suddenly the vehicle came to a stop.
"Looks like were here." The villain stated with a sigh.
The doors opened to reveal a female police officer with a bloodied umbrella. The electric villain look at her curiously. He also noticed that they were in what appeared to be some kind of forest. The other villains took notice of this as well. Murmurs of confusion rang about the vehicle.
"Who are you? The electric villain questioned.
The policewoman smirked. She looked up as the illusion feel away in ripples revealing herself as Neo. The electric quirk user's eyes went wide. He remembered seeing her at the meeting spot. He remembered the look in her eyes from then. Like a hunter ready to spring a trap. I see…
"Hey it's that mute chick." One villain noted.
"What's she doing her?" Another questioned.
"It's it obvious she's giving us a helping hand. Not for free though." The electric villain noted. "You planned on this attack failing didn't you?"
Neo smirked. 'Right you are. So what do you say? Want to work for me?' She spelled out with an illusion. The electric villain chuckled lightly before throwing his head back, laughing out loud. Everyone but Neo looked at him like he was crazy. He calmed down and looked at Neo.
"You have yourself a deal boss. I'd already made one mistake in following that man-child into battle, I'm not about to make another." He declared.
Neo walked inside and freed the villain from his bindings. He sat up and loosened up his arms and legs. Neo made an illusion which spelled out, 'So what's your name big guy?'
"Seiteki Watto, though I normally go by Shock as a villain." The now name Seiteki answered.
'Good to know. I'll have you be my second in command. And the name's Neapolitan, call me Neo.' Neo spelled out with an illusion.
"Fine by me. Now then… who else wants in?" Seiteki questioned.
While some were hesitant at first. One by one, all eventually decided to join together under Neo's command. Soon everyone had been free of their binds and were outside of the vehicle.
"Alright so now what?" One villain asked.
Neo made an illusion which spelled out, 'First we'll need to establish an HQ to work from. I already have a place in mind. Once we get there I have some things to go over with everyone. Load up in the police vehicle we're moving out. Got it.'
"Yes Ma'am!" They all replied in disorganized fashion.
Late evening, at UA…
After being discharged by Recover Girl, Izuku along with Ruby made their way out of the building.
"Many barely even a week into our time at UA and we've already ran into villains." Izuku noted. "I wonder if that's a sign for how the next three years are gonna go?"
"Given my experience the answer is yes and then some." Ruby replied. "I'm just glad we all made it through in one piece. I just hope everyone's not shaken up by this. Suddenly being thrust into a situation like that can do that to ya. Speaking of which how are you holding up?"
"Fine now that everything's over. No one really got hurt other than me so that helps." Izuku answered.
The two exited the building
"Hey there they are." They heard Ochako shout.
They looked to see her and their friend group waiting for them. With a smile, they ran up to them.
"Took you guys long enough." Itsuka stated.
"Hey no one said you guys had to wait for us." Ruby pointed out.
"Hey… what kind of friends would we be with we didn't." Jaune stated.
"True, thanks for that Jaune." Ruby expressed with a cheerful smile.
Jaune blushed lightly. Ochako made her way up to Izuku.
"Deku… how are you doing? Is your arm better? It wasn't too bad was it?" She asked worriedly.
Izuku blushed lightly.
"Y-yeah it's fine now. Recovery Girl was able to heal it after I had some time to rest. See good as new." He replied, holding up his newly healed arm.
"That's good." Ochako breathed out in relief.
"We should probably get going. It's getting late." Ren stated.
"Indeed, a good night's sleep will do us well after today's events." Tenya noted.
"I know I could use a shower to relax after all of this." Itsuka expressed.
"Amen to that girl." Nora added.
The group made their way to the train station. Trailing behind were Ruby and Jaune, the former of who was lost in thought. Jaune noticed this.
"Your still thinking about today's attack aren't you?" Jaune questioned.
"Yeah, we were totally caught off guard. We even knew it was coming. We just never expected them to go for someone like All Might." Ruby stated.
"Yeah I know. It's not our fault though. I doubt anyone would predict they'd target the number one hero. I wish we knew more about our attacker though." Jaune expressed.
"What we do know is the main guys, that handsy villain and the mist villain, Tomura and Kurogiri I think their names were, are still at large. Which means there's the possibility of another attack when they've recovered from their losses." Ruby noted. "We need to find whoever this traitor is and fast to take away one of the villains greatest asset."
"Yeah, but we don't even know where to start. It's a big school. We can cross a few people of the suspect list, but that still leaves a lot of faculty, staff, and students who could be the traitor. Assuming there's only one." Jaune expressed.
"We'll have to bring it up at the next student council meeting and go over our options." Ruby stated. "Hopefully we can find out who it is before something worse happens."
"Yeah so we can worry about that later. We've got off tomorrow you know." Jaune brought up. "Could you imagine something like that happening at Beacon if we got attacked like that."
"Come one it wasn't that intense." Ruby replied.
"They flung us off of a cliff for initiation." Jaune pointed out.
"Oh come on that wasn't that bad." Ruby waved off.
"Maybe not for you, but I didn't have a landing strategy." Jaune returned.
Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Well if there's one good thing about this attack. It's that they took our picture so hopefully someone from Remnant will recognize us." Ruby brought up.
Not long after the incident, in America…
A young well built muscular man with spiky blond hair sat at his computer. He had piercing blue eyes and wore a black tank top and blue jeans. Small scars were littered across his body with one large one across his left eye. He was in a small covered patio like room on the side of his house. Behind him is a large bookcase filled with various objects. He was surfing the internet for recent news stories.
"Hey Blitz, find anything noteworthy yet!" A girl called out from another room.
"Nothing yet babe, I just started. Give me a… hang on… Yang come check this out." The now named Blitz called out.
Yang walked into the room, her long blond hair tied into a ponytail. She wore an orange tank top and baggy sweatpants. Despite what had happened back at Beacon, she had both her arms again.
"What is it hon?" She asked.
"There was an attack on UA, the big hero school in Japan, there's a picture. Thought ya might see someone ya recognize." Blitz stated as Yang went up and looked at the screen.
"Alright let's see." She stated moving in front of Blitz to look at the screen.
After scanning the image for a bit, her eyes immediately fell on a familiar black and red haired little sister.
"MY BABY SISTERS IN JAPAN!" She exclaimed as she knocked Blitz and the chair he was sitting in back into the bookcase behind them.
Said bookcase began to fall forward, only for Blitz to catch it while still on the ground. Books and other stuff fell, but Yang was so fixated on the news story to notice anything hitting her. Blitz pushed it back against the wall as he got back up.
"Son of… how did this thing even fall that way?" Blitz muttered.
(A drawing of Blitz is post up on my Deviantart. Just search zmanxv cause I can't post the link.)
Ruby: YANG'S IN AMERICA! *Grabs Izuku* We need to go there Izuku. *Violently shakes him* WE NEED TO GO THERE NOW!
Izuku: Would you stop shaking me. We don't even know about Yang in the main story yet.
Yang: Besides I'm right here.
Ruby: Yang! *Stops shaking Izuku and rushes to hug Yang*
Yang: Hey sis, I missed you too. *Hugs Ruby back*
Blitz: *Walks up next to Izuku, looking around in confusion*
Izuku: How did you get here?
Blitz: *Continues to look around* I don't know.
Ruby: How did you get here? And how did your arm grow back? And is it me or do you look younger?
Yang: Not important, and that other stuff will be explained when I show up in the main story again.
Ruby: Well while you're here, want to help us out with next chapter preview?
Yang: Fine by me. What about you hon?
Blitz: Ah why not, s'not like I got anything better to do.
Ruby: Awesome, next time we start a new arc with the staff of UA have a meeting to go over all what they know after the USJ attack.
Yang: After that Ruby and the gang return to hero school life.
Blitz: But with the sports festival coming up it looks like they won't have too much time to rest.
Ruby: Next time, Chapter 30: Rivals and Enemies, New and Old. Catch you guys then.
Izuku: Wait I didn't even get to say...
