Izuku landed. Allowing his wings to retreat back into his back as he did and charged to where the villain had blasted him away.
And arrived just as Gentle was asking for the heroes to spare his accomplice.
The woman clutched to his torn clothing crying as she tried to stay with him.
Hound Dog looked at Izuku. Taking in the boy's ruined clothes.
"Did you fight him?" The doglike man asked the boy.
Izuku looked at the villain. His torn clothing and messed up and burnt hair giving the man a pitiful appearance.
"No." The greenette stated as he looked at the man. Who gave him a incredulous look. "He was trying to pull a prank on the school and we had a small dispute."
One of Ectoplasm's clones looked at him in surprise.
"But your cloth-"
"We had a small dispute."
Izuku said interrupting the clone with a firm look.
Hound Dog shook his head and began speaking to the villain. Izuku didn't catch what the man said.
"Midoriya Izuku-Kun." Gentle said looking at him past his freed bangs. "I suppose I understand what you meant before. I hope that I may redeem myself and in the end die a hero."
Gentle said as Hound Dog began pulling him away.
"I the Gentle criminal was born from my despair as a dropout from a hero course." The white haired man stated making the greenette look at him in surprise. "Maybe it is not my place to say this. But I hope that you can achieve your dream and make our world better for those you love."
Izuku watched the villain be pulled away. Before he remembered his bags.
The greenette plus one of Ectoplasm's clones rushed to were the boy had dropped the bags.
And after rapidly thanking the old lady that had found them he rushed to the school.
'Need to get there before it starts!'
He almost didn't see Aoyama waiting for him at the front gates.
"You're late Midoriya-Kun." The french speaking blond pointed out.
"I... know... I'm... sorry." Izuku said each word interrupted by a tired pant.
"Your clothes are ruined." Aoyama said looking at his tattered clothes with wide eyes.
"I... know." The greenette breathed out nearly bent double in exhaustion.
Aoyama looked at his wrist. Where a fancy watch was present.
"We need to hurry if we are to be on time."
Izuku nodded and blinked. Disappearing from the front gates and reappearing far closer to the entrance of the school.
After rushing to clean up and get dressed Izuku rushed to the stage. And after being berated by his band mates grabbed his guitar and got ready to play with his friends.
After spotting Eri in the crowd he gave her a small smile before looking down to his guitar. He could hear the clacking of Bakugou's drumsticks before the ash blond yelled out.
"LET'S FUCKING GO!"
And the band began playing.
A wave of sound soared over the crowd as they played their instruments.
Bakugou beating his drums like a madman.
Tokoyami making his guitar release a unholy scream to match the ash blond's intensity.
Yaoyorozu played the keyboard with grace that befit her aristocratic status.
Izuku played his guitar with practiced ease. Matching both the intensity and grace of the others.
And Jirou's bass and lyrics pulling them all together in a discordant harmony as the dancers and stage crew matched the music with excellent dancing and a roaring explosion.
The light of that explosion was almost blinding. It bleached the color from the world as thy played.
Aoyama was thrown into the air and used a human firework. Ojiro catching him before he fell back into the crowd.
Sero shot out tape latching onto several of the dancers before making them swing over the crowd. Uraraka giving the crowd high fives and letting them float into the air to join the fun.
Iida just did the robot.
Izuku blinked and reappeared in the air. Wings growing from his back fitting themselves through slits in the back of his shirt. He flew above the crowd playing guitar to them as he did. Giving a bright smile to Eri and Mirio as he flew above them. And blowing a kiss to Mei as he flew above her as well.
Jirou's lyrics flowed through the crowd making them scream in joy as the girl let her emotions become a song for them to enjoy.
Izuku broke into a guitar solo as he soared through the air. Controlling the flow of the music as he soared like a eagle above his fellow students and the adults that had chosen to attend the festival.
His emerald eyes found Eri as he played. Looking down at girl as she watched the event with excitement in her eyes and a smile on her face.
'A smile! She smiled!'
Izuku's painfully wide smile could have lit up a entire country.
