After they were enveloped by the mist, a darkness was all they could see. Then, suddenly, they were back. But not where they were previously.
"Where are we?", groaned someone and Midoriya looked around to find the source. He spotted Kendo sitting almost next to him.
"Are you alright Kendo?", he asked as he stood up and took another look around.
"Y-yeah", she answered and stood up herself. "Do you know where we are?"
Izuku thought about his answer for a moment, while scanning his surroundings. They were in a big building, a warehouse probably, with shattered windows and holes on the roof. Through these holes, the ceiling of USJ could be seen.
"I think that this is the Ruins Zone", he said while looking in her direction.
"That's also what I think. Do you that this grey… mist transported us here?"
"Probably. That's the last thing I remember before waking up here. Must be some Warp Quirk and those are pretty rare. It's a shame that a Villain has it. He could do so much good as a Hero", and then he trailed off into a muttering session.
"Oi, focus, you can nerd out about it some other time", the redhead reprimanded him while shaking him by thr shoulder.
"Umm, sorry sorry", he apologised and smiled.
"Thank you", she returned the smile and pointed at a partially destroyed wall behind them. "We can get out through there"
The green haired teen agreed and followed her. They made only a couple of steps before a quiet 'hey' could be heard behind them.
Midoriya turned around and came face to face with a pale, white face with grey hair. He yelped and tumbled backwards when his foot hit something and he fell flat on his back.
"Yanagi! I told you not to sneak up on people!", he heard Kendo yell.
"Sorry", the second voice was to quiet for someone who was standing this close. And too stoic for someone who was a target of a Villains attack.
Izuku stood up and dusted himself off before looking back at the 1-B students.
"I'm not mad, she just caught me by surprise. Let's get moving, others may need our help!", he declared and then Led them outside.
"He is acting like real hero. Calm under pressure", the Class Rep of 1-B thought to herself and smiles fondly at the green haired student.
The trio walked out onto the street and looked around. Judging by the ruined buildings all around them they must've landed somewhere in the middle of the Ruins Zone.
"I think, that our first priority should be to leave this area and try to get out of USJ to contact the school", Reiko proposed with her usual calm voice.
"But how do we know where to go? This looks like a maze!", complained Kendo, while pointing to the nearly identical debris laying around.
"I may have an idea. Thirteen wanted us to follow her to the central plaza where she would explain the details of our exercise. And the plaza was roughly in the middle of the USJ, right?", the sole 1-A student thought aloud.
"And since the roof of the USJ is a giant dome…", continued Kendo as she caught onto his way of thinking.
"Then the highest point of the dome…", they heard another voice to their left and turned to see Todoroki and Kaminari approaching them.
"I have no idea what you're talking about", stated the blonde proudly and flashed them a smile along with a single thumb up.
"All you have to understand is that we need to head to the central plaza", explained Izuku with a facepalm, though a small smile made its way onto his face. At least he knew that more of his friends were safe.
"Plan good. Waiting for the execution", they heard another voice above them and all five students looked up, while also getting ready to fight.
"Reaction time good. Beginning strength evaluation", two armor clad silhouettes stood atop a building. After they spoke their sentences they jumped down.
"Scatter!", Midoriya yelled and jumped out of their way with the other students obeying his command.
The Villains hit the ground and a cloud of dust enveloped them. The only thing that shined through the dust were their eyes.
Todoroki found himself looking in the mirror, as his eyes were locked in a silent battle with another set of heterochromic ones. Though the Villain's were more clearly distinguishable, being bright red on the right side and bright blue on the left.
Meanwhile Kaminari, Yanagi and Kendo found themselves facing a white eyed enemy.
"Targets acquired", they spoke in unison and charged their respective enemies.
Todoroki was forced to dodge as a wave of ice emerged from the dust along with a stream of fire. While Kaminari, Yanagi and Kendo were flung down the street by a gust of wind.
Izuku was torn between helping Todoroki or the others, but this time fate took the choice away from him. A shadow passed over him and he looked up only to see a green eyed Villain coming straight for him. Midoriya dodged to the side and his enemy flew right past him before landing on the ground.
"We finally meet, Midoriya Izuku", this Villain sounded calm and collected, though there was no emotion to his voice. "I am Sleeper and I couldn't wait for an opportunity to finally bring the best out of you"
"Bring the best out of me?", even if he wanted to, he didn't have time to think about the meaning behind the sentence as his opponent charged him, his right arm cocked back.
"Texas Smash", the Villain stated and Midoriya barely dodged the punch due to the shock. This was going to be a very confusing and shocking day. That is, if it won't be their last.
"How is he able to perform that move? And how did he even know about it?", each moment filled his mind with more and more questions. And he was becoming more and more determined to get the answers to them.
"Texas Smash", the Villain attacked once again, but this time Midoriya was ready.
The greenette ducked under the punch and threw a kick to the Villain's midsection. His move however was easily read and blocked. Midoriya was slightly irritated at this. Not only did this Villain use his moves, but could easily read him. This was turning into an ugly fight too quick for his liking.
The opponents clashed once again and started throwing punches and kicks at their enemies. Izuku was slowly getting the upper hand when the Villain started reading his moves again. This made the exchange much more even.
"Is that the best you can do?", asked the masked Villain.
"In your dreams!", answer Midoriya and feinted a punch. He followed it with a strong front kick that sent them in two different directions. "Kinetic Capacitors: Double Acceleration!"
"Very well. Kinetic Capacitors: Double Acceleration"
"How the f-... Focus. I need to focus", he took a breath to steady himself.
The ground beneath their feet was breaking whenever they rushed at each other. But the stalemate has not been broken. They matched their strikes perfectly, as if reading the mind of their opponent.
Slowly, but surely, the odds started tipping in the favor of Sleeper, since he hadn't shown any signs of tiredness, while Izuku was running out of breath.
He managed to once again put some distance between them after he landed a solid kick to his opponent's side that sent him into a nearby wall.
"Kinetic Capacitors: Quadruple Acceleration!", he shouted as he got ready to go all in. "If I don't end it now, then he will simply outlast me"
"Error. Unknown move performed. Assessing situation. Calibrating possible courses of action"
"Wait, why does he talk like… a robot?", Izuku wondered for a moment, before a crazy thought crossed his mind. "That would explain how he is able to go without losing energy!"
"Situation assessed. Continuing assault"
The Villain looked him straight in the eyes, which made the hair on his neck stand. Actually, the hair on his head started standing up too.
"Texas Smash", the armor clad figure charged again, at blinding speed and with a huge amount of power behind the fist. But Midoriya was more than ready to match it.
"Texas Smash!", the green haired student yelled as their fists collided. They appeared equal in their clash, but only one of them had tricks up his sleeve. With his left arm cocked back he smirked. "Double Texas Smash!"
Midoriya's left fist collided with the Villain's head and decapitated him. The body fell to the ground with a metallic clank. Before a realisation sets in, he gets a closer look at the Villain. It pays off, as he proves his theory right.
"If he was a robot and was able to speak almost like a human that this means… The other Villains must be robots too!", with a newfound determination and a new goal he took off in the direction of Kendo's group. "Everyone, hold on!"
He put great trust in Todoroki, but he knew how strong the heterochromatic boy was. A measly robot was no match for the son of the number one Pro Hero.
Blasting through the city at almost blinding speed, Midoriya quickly managed to locate Kendo and the others. And just in time it would seem. Kaminari was already out, but a dopey look managed to stay on his face, one of Kendo's arms was heavily bruised and her right eyebrow was bleeding. Yanagi looked calm and collected as always, but the toll of battle was visible even on her.
Their opponent had his back wide open and Izuku decided to capitalize on this. With one final push he propelled himself towards his target and shifted midair to perform a flying kick. As soon as he did, yellow lightning started following his move; a green comet with a yellow tail.
The Villain didn't even have a chance to turn around as Midoriya's foot planted itself firmly on his back and transferred all of the students momentum to the lifeless husk. The force turned out to be too great, as the robot was swiftly dismembered into six pieces, as his torso flew forward and the rest just fell to the ground.
Izuku did a slide to stop himself and stood next to Kendo. She deactivated her Quirk and sighed tiredly, before looking him over.
"Oh my… You, you're bleeding! And your arm!", she panicked as she scanned his body.
Battered, bruised and covered in small cuts. His left arm was sickeningly deformed, which was a definite sign of a broken bone if she ever saw one.
"No time. We need to move forward and help the rest", he retorted and got ready to move out.
But before he had a chance to, Itsuka grabbed his right hand with hers.
"Do you want to get yourself killed?!", she shouted a little louder than she intended.
"I want everyone to live", he answered simply and slipped out from her grasp. Then he punched through a wall, which conveniently turned out to be a perimeter wall that surrounded the Ruins Zone and immediately headed for the central plaza where a small skirmish was currently taking place.
"This stupid, fucking, idiot…", Kendo cursed quietly and then debated on what to do next. Fortunately, Yanagi already had a plan.
"I'll stay here with the blonde and you follow your fellow Class Rep", she spoke calmly, but she had determination in her eyes.
"Thanks Reiko", Itsuka smiled at her friend and then took off in the direction of the plaza.
Momo was grateful that she was somehow placed in the same place as Vlad King. She may have been a great strategist and a literal genius, but while under such pressure, she underperformed, hard. The fact that she left her book at school wasn't helping either. Sure she remembered the basics, but anything beyond that was out of her reach.
She settled with being a backline support for the Pro Hero and Kirishima with Tokoyami and Dark Shadow in the middle. They made quick work of the robot that could shift additional armor plates around his body, much like Kirishima's Hardening, and then left the Landslide Zone.
Thanks to the binoculars that she made, they managed to spot High-Tech in the central plaza and set out to take him out, as he seemed to be the leader. They underestimated his strength however and this is what led them to where they were now.
With Kirishima's Hardening slowly fading away and Tokoyami at the brink of collapse, facing High-Tech and his Metal Puppets that the grey Villain summoned through the mist.
"Kids, fall back. I'll cover you", the Pro finally ordered. Their situation was pretty bad, but after the grey Villain brought in another dozen of robots, things went south completely and every chance at capturing the leader were gone.
"Brave of you to stand alone against me, but also quite foolish… Assassin", the Villain spoke, confusing his four opponents, before ordering his Puppets to strike. "If you cover them, who will cover you?!"
The twenty robots that moved in sync were too many even for a seasoned Hero like Vlad King. The wide variety of weapons they were carrying made it impossible to survive such an attack.
Yaoyorozu's life started flashing right before her eyes, but for some reason it looked like one, giant, green blur. Her eyes now wide open and focused on the sight in front of her.
It was Izuku Midoriya. Her classmate. Her friend. Her… saviour…
Moving faster than an eye could follow. Every move calculated and precise. Not even ten seconds passed before all the bots were down for the count. She looked at the ground and saw the many small craters created by his steps. Each one taken with enough force to crack concrete and probably bend metal bars.
And now there he was. Staring the two Villains down with a determined look on his face. She didn't see his face, but deep down she knew he had it. It was just the type of person he was. The type to look danger straight in the face.
"So that's the power of your highest output, heh? Kinetic Capacitors: Quintuple Acceleration, right?", the Villain asked with amusement audible in his voice.
"You, are going to answer some questions right now", Midoriya retorted as he took a step forward; his body covered in yellow lightning and the ground breaking beneath his foot.
"I'm afraid that we are out of time for today, but looking at you I can say, that I've achieved what I wanted. We will meet again Midoriya. Don't slack off with that new power of yours", High-Tech said before the grey mist enveloped him and his companion.
Even with the danger gone, Midoriya still stood at attention, ready to pounce at every little noise. It was almost as if he-
"Catch him!", shouted the Pro and only when she saw Izuku's body tipping did she understand what happened.
"He lost consciousness while standing…", she thought and then made her way to Kirishima, who caught the greenette, before he fell face first onto the pavement.
She finally had a chance to take a closer look at him. And when she did, she was not happy. Bruises, blood, breaks… He had it all. In that moment, she finally understood the amount of selflessness, or stupidity, that Izuku had in him.
And it turned out to be a metric fuckton.
I don't have much to say today other than: Yup, it's the end of my USJ Arc, not a long one, but... I really, REALLY, want to get further into the school year
Also:
Dracus6 - That's actually a great idea and a very original one, since I'm pretty sure that no story like that was even thought of! But, I kinda have an idea for my own fantasy AU, that I plan to make in the future, but your idea will definetely be stored for later use
Guest (you will know it's about you) - What do you mean Savage Deku? It's kinda vague and I failed to understand the idea for the plot. Is Savage Deku a subtype of the Villain Deku, where he turns into a mindless beast? (Sounds cool if you ask me, though I don't want to start a whole bunch of different stories at once)
I hope you enjoyed and thank you very, VERY much for the 40k views and the 200 follows.
Have a good day/night ;D
