A Magnificent Quirk of Flying Machines

Everyone was getting ready for a wonderful night of fun at training camp when blue flame erupts from the depths of the forest.

"Villains! Get back to the lodge!" Mandalay shouts as two strangers emerge from the forest.

"I will take care of this." Izuku says confidently, activating his quirk. "Well, I was sure I was only thinking of two wings."

Izuku had summoned a rather outdated looking triplane with three seats.

"Your concentration needs work." Momo says tiredly, knowing that Izuku's quirk summoned what he envisioned and understood, and used to his unfortunate tendency to panic and summon monstrosities of all types.

"At least anything I think of is guaranteed to fly to some degree." Izuku comments as he examines the aircraft. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get in!"

Ochako and Momo quickly climb into the gunner's seats and Momo begins creating an assortment of items to drop on unsuspecting villains.


The only thing Muscular heard before he was engulfed in a hail of rubber bullets and flashbangs was a slight whistle on the wind. He quickly turned to see what had attacked him, but he couldn't see anything.

"Come out hero. It's no fun if I can't see your face before I kill you!" Muscular threatens as he looks in all directions.

Except up of course, as no one ever looks up. Another hail of bullets along with some capsaicin filled balloons hit him, but this time he was prepared and he was able to see the aircraft before the capsaicin disabled his vision.

"Damn you! Get down here and fight!" he screams as his eyes burn.

It was of course impossible for the trio in the plane to respond or even hear Muscular's raving.

"He's still not going down." Ochako observes, "Hit him with something stronger."

Izuku does a quick loop as Momo prepares a more dangerous surprise. Chloroform is best used with small doses applied as directly as possible, but in this situation more would be needed. They risked killing him with an overdose, but with Kota nearby they could not risk Muscular finding the boy.

So once again the airplane dives on the villain, raining down rubber bullets with its pair of Lewis guns as Momo lines up her balloon. At the last possible moment the pink rubber balloon is dropped from the plane and impacts close to the villain, splashing him.

"What a nice smell! Did you drop your perfume on me?" Muscular taunts before stumbling and slowly collapsing onto the ground.


After a quick stop to help Tsu with Toga the trio fly towards the brightest flames and begin harassing any villain they could find. Izuku performed several feats of flying to dodge the flames and quirks sent at them. The combination of rubber bullets and Momo's creations succeeded in defeating many villains and forcing the villains to retreat before they could severely injure or capture anyone.

AN: I tried to get something light hearted written but I just don't have it in me today (combination of work and world right now). I was inspired to write this by a random song that youtube played for me again. "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines." As a quick self-promotion I wrote an entire story from this a year or so ago, though in a different fandom, have a look at Harry Potter's Flying Machine for some true light hearted shenanigans. I did make this quirk a bit different in function, as my more observant readers will notice, as while I love airplanes, I just don't know much about them. So I just made one up that fit my vision. Perhaps it's an amalgamation of some Vickers and Sopwith planes of WW1.

I want to respond to a few reviews with something I've said in PM responses, I do respect the nitpicks and other info on the Sci-fi tanks. The honest truth is I know almost nothing about them and all Izuku's opinions are similar to mine. Without any real in universe knowledge. I've had tanks as a hobby for almost a decade now, I can write a chapter on almost anything with only a quick look online for specific numbers and dates. But I've never been a big sci-fi nerd or a gamer. I did exactly what Izuku did, I looked at a google image than skimmed a fan wiki. I just don't know as much as I would like. Anyway, for anyone who wants to know more about any specific sci-fi tank, check the reviews. Those guys will actually know more than I ever will.
