Chapter 8: USJ
{Greetings from beyond the screen my fellow readers writers and SL17H3R here with a new chapter.}
3rd(P.O.V)
As Kenshi walked down the sidewalk he suddenly saw something right in front of the school gate.
"What the hell..." Kenshi said as he walked around the corner of the school.
In front of UA was about 3 dozen reporters all with cameras and microphones in hand, gathering around students and asking them questions. Though they only seemed to talk to any student from the Hero Course or a Pro-Hero teacher.
A female reporter saw Kenshi and instantly walked up to him with a microphone, "Excuse me, if you wouldn't mind could you answer some questions?" Before Kenshi could say anything she was already asking her question, "What kind of lessons does All Might teach?" She asked in an edger voice as she shoved the microphone in his face.
Kenshi decided to throw the woman a bone and answer her question, "All Might mostly monitors us during training and gives us tips to help us become better at becoming future heroes, he also comes up with certain scenarios that we might encounter once we become heroes. Thanks to his experience and high track record All Might has a lot of insight on how a Pro-Hero should be. He also likes to make things light so things don't become such instances for us since we have a lot on our plates."
The woman smiled at Kenshi as she glanced at her cameraman, "Thanks, so what is it like to go-"
Kenshi raised his hand and started to move, "I'm sorry, but no more questions. My homeroom teacher is really strict and I don't want to be late." Kenshi said as he quickly walked to the front gate of UA.
"Wait, just a few more quest-" The woman was cut off as Aizawa himself stood in the woman's way, "Cut the feed!" She said quickly to her cameraman who quickly did so, "Why don't you look a little more presentable, aren't you a Pro-Hero!?"
Aizawa simply waved her off, "I don't care about my look." He said as he looked at the other reporters, "You're interfering with our lessons here, so kindly vacate the premises."
The Pro-Hero turned around and started to walk away, ignoring the protest from the reporters. A second later a steel door slammed down, blocking the reporters out.
Kenshi looked at the steel door with a raised brow before chuckling, "Kind of feels like we're in prison now." The draconic teen muttered as he walked next to Aizawa.
"Trust me, it's needed to block off those vultures." The teacher muttered as he walked next to Kenshi.
It was no secret that the media was ruthless when it came to heroes. One bad move on camera or you say the wrong thing and your status as a hero could go seriously down the drain. Some heroes don't care about their public image, but it is a fact that the less popular a hero is paid less by the government.
Aizawa pointed to Kenshi and looked at him with a lazy eye, "Run ahead and be in your seat by the time I get to class. I should mark you late, but since the reporters were blocking the way I'll let this slide."
Kenshi nodded while rubbing the back of his head. He would have gotten to school earlier, but he was compelled to help an elderly woman cross the street.
Running ahead Kenshi was the last to enter the class and sit down at his desk. A few minutes later Aizawa walked in with a stack of papers on hand.
"I hope you're well rested from yesterday's battle trial," Aizawa said in his usual bland voice, making the class fidget a bit. "I took the liberty of looking at your marks and evaluation. Bakugo," Aizawa called, making said teen stiffen. "Stop acting like a 7-year-old. You didn't take the battle trial seriously at all and were only interested in settling your grudges. Leave that stuff for outside the Hero Course, you're wasting your talent."
"...I know." Bakugo said while clicking his teeth.
"Todoroki," The bicolored teen sat up straight as Aizawa's gaze turned to him. "You need to learn how to work with your teamwork, heroes need to know how to work together. You also need to work on your quirk, I don't know why you're so hesitant on using the other half but only using half would be detrimental to your growth in the future. Finally, communication is a common skill all heroes should have, so learn how to talk to your classmates. Understand?" He asked.
"Yes sir." Todoroki grumbly said while looking down at his table.
"Sakai," The patet teen nearly stood at attention in her seat as she heard her name. "Overall, nothing too bad," He said, getting a sigh of relief from the teen. "But you need to start taking initiative. Following others' plans is okay, but if you can't come up with your own plans then being a hero will be impossible."
"Right," Sakal said while rubbing the back of her head.
"Hayabusa," Kenshi's ears twitched slightly in attention as he felt Aizawa's gaze on him. The draconic teen was still intimidated by the Pro-Hero, he would gladly admit he admired his skill, "Again, overall not bad. You took the battle seriously and secured the bomb without endangering it." He said, getting a smile out of the dragon teen, "But I would hold back on separating yourself. It's not a bad plan to separate your opponent when you have a counter for them, but in most situations that can just endanger you or the people around you."
Kenshi nodded to Aizawa while throwing a small salute, "Yes, sir."
Aizawa nodded before he looked at the rest of the class, "Before we continue, there's something we must discuss." He said in a serious voice, making everyone feel a little dread, "I'm sorry to have to spring this on you all, but... we need to pick a class president."
"Finally, something school like!" Everyone shouted at once with a sigh of relief.
Kenshi slumped against his chair with a sigh as a grin crossed his face. Being the class president of the Hero Course was no joking matter. It showed you have both skills in being ahead of everyone in a class training to be heroes and a certain amount of dedication. That was the kind of thing that would follow a person when they become a Pro-Hero and help them boost their career.
For Kenshi to be class president would be perfect practice for if he would ever want to lead his own heroes agency one day.
And that's when the metaphorical shit hit the fan.
"Ohh! Ohh! I wanna be class president! Pick me!"
"I wanna do it too."
"My manifesto as president: All girls must expose 30 cm of the thigh!"
"Hold me… What a minute…"
"Oh, you mean the position that exists for me?"
"That's like a leader position! I'll do it! Me, me!"
"Let me do it!"
Practically every single person wanted to be class president. They all knew what it meant to be the class president of the Hero Course and how it would impact them once they graduated.
"Everyone, please wait!" Iida called, causing everyone to turn to him, "This is a task that a person must carry and pull everyone else's weight, it is not a job to be taken lightly!" He said as he slowly stood up with a serious look on his face, "The only truly worthy leader will emerge from a democratic choice to reflect the will of the people!" He said before raising his arm high into the air, "Which is why this must be settled by a vote!"
Tsuyu tilted her head at that, "It's still too early to have developed any trust in each other."
"And everyone will just vote for themselves!" Kirishima added.
Much to all of your surprise Izuku spoke up, "Actually, Iida's idea might hold some weight." He said, grabbing everyone's attention, "We saw everyone in action during the battle trials so we got a sense of their personalities and skills. If anyone stood out more and they earned more votes then they must have the skills needed to be class president."
'The kid has insight.' Glacius' thinks to himself.
Iida smiled and threw his hand to Izuku, "Exactly Izuku!" He said before looking at the teacher, who was already climbing into his sleeping bag, "Is that alright Mr. Aizawa!?"
"As long as you all decide by the deadline, anything's fine," He said before laying down for a power nap.
Everyone was given one piece of paper and we all had to write the name of the person we voted for. I could tell most of my classmates put their own names and dropped them into the bucket, hoping they got to become class president. I stared at my paper for a moment as I started to think. I wondered if I should vote for myself or someone else. On one hand, voting for myself would increase my chances of becoming class president, it would feel a little cheap if the only reason I won was that I voted for myself.
Taking a small breath I write a name down before dumping them in the bucket.
After everyone else put their papers in the bucket Momo tallied up the votes. And the results were surprising, to say the least.
"I got 5 votes!?" I shouted in shock, the last thing I expected was to get so many votes.
"You've got to be shitting me...!" Bakugo said slowly as his body shook, "Who voted for him!"
Sero snorted as he tried to hold back his laughter, making Bakugo glare at him.
"Only one vote," Iida said in a defeated voice. "It's nice to know somebody believed in me, but it's to be expected that I didn't get more since I pushed for the votes."
"You didn't vote for yourself?" Momo asked in a confused voice, "Even though you wanted the job so badly."
A few moments later Izuku and I stood side by side in front of the class. My wings twitched with nerves and the fins on my tail cliched in anticipation.
"So the president will be Hayabusa and vice-president Midoriya," Aizawa said as he climbed out of his sleeping bag.
"Ah man," Momo lightly complained with a small sigh. "It wasn't even close."
"Man didn't think I would get so many votes," I said with a grin as Bakugo glared at me. "I'll try to be the best president I can be, everyone!" I said with a confident smile and a determination in my eyes.
"Damn, things are heating up for Hayabusa!"
"And Izuku was really cool during training!"
After that Aizawa went over all the marks of the trial of battles and how some students could improve. It was long until about 45 minutes of reviewing and discussing their results at noon came and it was time for lunch.
Izuku, Iida, Ochako, Asui, and Jiro all sat together at a lunch table. While Momo, Akane, Sora, Rin and I sat at a nearby table.
Izuku wanted to sit next to my table since we would be working together as president and vice president. Jiro and Sora were apparently friends with Momo and wanted to sit with her. In Sora's case she wanted to also talk to Izuku about converting his notebook into digital format.
"Man, I can't believe I'm class president," I say as I rubbed my temple with one of my whiskers. "I mean I'm glad the class chose me, but I can't help but feel a little nervous."
"Would you relax?" Akane said before taking a bite of her rice, "You'll be great!"
"She's right Ken," Rin said as she ate her food. "You've got the guts and judgment in spades. Your mind is honed, you have a good heart, and I know you can carry us through. It's the reason I voted for you." She said while giving me a smile.
"So that's three votes down," Jiro said as she held up her hand. "I wonder who the other two vote for Hayabusa?"
"Actually, I didn't vote for myself," I say as I pointed at Izuku. "I actually voted for Izuku," I say, getting a surprised look from the greenette. "With his intellect and willingness to take others' advice would have made him a good leader in my opinion."
Izuku shockingly says as he points at Iida, "Well I voted for Iida." This shocks the engine teen, "He seemed like a person who could take the position seriously, and if I didn't get the position I rather he had it."
Iida smiled proudly and bowed to Izuku, "Thank you for having so much faith in me Izuku!" He nearly shouted before slumping in the chair, "Even though no one else voted for me."
Ochako rubbed the back of her head, "Sorry Iida, I voted for Izuku too. He came up with our plan during the fight, so I thought he could run the class." Ochako said this with a smile.
"So if Izuku didn't vote for himself or Hayabusa, then where did the other three votes come from," Momo muttered to herself.
Both Izuku, Sora and Tsuyu raised their hands.
"I voted for Ken because he's the only one person who could truly challenge me," Sora said with a grin. "Not to mention when he was going against Bakugo and Todoroki their super OP quirks, Ken came up with a plan to beat them and kept the core safe." She said giving me a thumbs-up.
Tsuyu nodded her head, "Kenshi is always smart, thinks ahead and he also seems to have mastered the physical size of his quirk."
Kenshi smiled at all the praise he was getting, it wasn't often he got complimented by people other than his parents.
Momo put a hand under her chin and nodded her head silently, "I see, since Kenshi has so much control over his quirk he's able to fight people on an equal playing field."
"So if these four voted for him, who was the fifth?" Jiro asked while glancing around at the other 1-A students.
Momo looked around before noticing a specific student, "I believe Kirishima was the one to vote for you." She said to Izuku, getting a surprised look from everyone, "I remember he didn't receive any votes as well, and since you were the only one who received multiple votes that means his vote went to you."
I couldn't help but gain a thoughtful look on my face, "Well, when you put it like that it does make sense. But why would Kirishima vote for me?"
Akana had a thoughtful look on her face before she snapped her fingers, "Maybe he was impressed by your fighting ability."
Iida nodded his head to that, "It would make sense, Kenshi showed exceptional skill and tactician. Like me, he must have followed his own judgment on the matter."
"Wow Iida, you talk so proper!" Ochako said while pointing at the teen, "Are you from an upper-class family?" She asked with a little too much act.
"Upper-class!?" Iida asked, a little shocked before looking away, "I don't like it when it's brought attention to, but if I must talk about such things... then yes. I'm from a family that's been in heroics for generations. I'm currently the second son." He said, getting a surprised look from everyone. "Have you ever heard of the Turbo Hero Ingenium?"
Izuku's eyes widened as a grin crossed his face, "Of course man! That's the super-popular hero whose Tokyo office has hired as many as 65 sidekicks!" He said in excitement as he connected the dots. "You don't mean...!"
"You're quite knowledgeable," Iida said as he swelled with pride. "But that's correct! And he's my big brother!" He said, getting a shocked look from everyone at the table.
"Man, to think someone in our class was actually related to a hero," Jiro muttered with a small chuckle. "I guess that explains why you're always so proper," She said before tilting her head.
"Actually, I think that's more on his own personality," Izuku muttered to her, making her pause before nodding. "So you want to be a hero just like your brother Iida?"
Iida nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, my brother is known for following the rules and guiding the people! I aspire to be a hero just like him."
Everyone at the table gave Iida a smile at his little speech, "You know everyone here is aspiring to become their own hero one way or another." Izuku said as he looked at Ochako, "What kind of hero do you want to be?"
Ochako looked surprised at the sudden question and seemed hesitant to answer, "I was thinking of being a hero that specializes in rescue operations, like 13." She said with excitement.
"With your quirk, you'll easily be able to move large objects to get to people," Momo said, getting a smile out of Ochako.
The entire time I stayed silent, Mom told me about moments like this. Moments where friendships are made and solidified.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Without any warning the sirens went off, catching everyone off guard and pulling me out of my thoughts.
"The siren!?" Rin yelled in shock as she and everyone else stood up.
"Security level 3 has been breached. Students, please promptly evacuate."
"What's security level 3!?" Iida yelled out, hoping for an answer.
Momo looked like she was thinking it over a bit, "I... I think security level 3 means someone broke into the school!" Momo called over as everyone started to rush out of the lunchroom.
"OW! OW!"
"Quit pushing!"
"Lay off, or I'll fall!"
"Quit pushing!
"Who just grabbed my ass!?"
"...Wait, what?"
All the students in the lunchroom pushed against one another trying to get out, this resulted in Izuku and his friends getting separated.
All the while I pulled Akane, Sora and Rin to the side, keeping them out of the crowd.
"Fucking hell," I said as I rubbed the back of my head. "It's turned into a full-blown panic!"
"Well what else did you expect from U.A.'s education, their crisis response is swift!" Sora said as she tilted her head to the side.
"Maybe it's a little too swift!" Rin said as her eyes darted around the crowd. "People could get hurt if this continues."
It's then I felt Akane's hand slapped my shoulder before pointing to the windows, "Guys isn't that the press!?"
Sora points as well, "Tesla's ghost, Ken, it really is the press!"
I scoffed at that, "Aizawa was right, those people are vultures!" I glanced at the crowd to see the metaphorical cogs in Iida's head hard at work.
I chuckle before walking away.
"Ken," I stopped at Sora's voice, I glanced back to see the three of them looking back at me. "Where are you going?"
I grin at them, "I'm going to investigate and I also need to discuss something with Principal Nezu."
I exited the building to see Eraser Head and Present Mic were trying to calm the press, but they weren't listening, they just wanted All Might. I ignored them and went to the destroyed door.
'What happened here?' Glacius questioned
I looked up to see the female reporter from the morning, she and her team were outside, packing their stuff.
'At least one of them is not an idiot,' Nova grumbles to himself.
"'Agreed,'" Raiden and I thinkingly said at the time.
I jogged over to her, "Excuse me?"
"Yes? Oh, it's you." The reporter smiled at me.
"Um, did you see what happened?"
"Oh, a man in a hoodie brought the barrier down with a touch of his hand, making it crumble and left. Nobody tried to stop him because he was kinda scary." The reporter confessed.
"No, don't worry about it. I'm actually glad you didn't try to stop him, your safety comes first after all." They smiled at each other, "So, you're leaving?"
"Yeah, we won't get anything about All Might anyway."
"Well there's a great news story right over there." I pointed over my shoulder to the reporters inside the U.A. grounds.
The reporter paused for a moment, "Get the camera! Get the camera!" She shouted to her team; she was so blinded by All Might that she didn't think of the opportunity.
I chuckle to myself as I begin to investigate.
…
…
I had returned inside when the police showed up, then crouched, taking a piece of the disintegrated barrier in my hand.
"Aren't you overstepping your boundaries as a student, Hayabusa-kun?" I turned my head around to look at Nezu.
"We could pass it off as an extra credit activity to learn how to respond to this kind of situation," I answered without missing a beat.
"Unfortunately, it wouldn't be fair for the other students to obtain the same credit. It would take more time because it directly affects the teaching system. However, the idea of a club would be amazing so just give it time to be put to work not only here but in other academies." The principal informed me.
"So, I'm in trouble?"
"I'll overlook it this time, just because you're not doing anything bad." The rodent walked next to me, "So what have you found out?"
"A hooded man did this with a single touch of his hand, or that's what I was told," I say as I take a handful of metal dust. "I immediately thought of some type of rusting quirk, however rusting involves oxidation and there is none of that in the air," At this Nezu nods as I point in a direction. "I can identify a strange scent walking in that direction, if you think it's necessary you could put Hounddog on that case. What do you think of this? Infiltration?"
"The security system would've already noticed," Nezu contemplated the destruction of the barrier. "Maybe a declaration of war?"
"With All Might here…?" Nezu noticed my pause, "All Might just started to work here and then this happened."
Nezu's eyes widened, "You think someone is targeting him?"
"He's the reason why crime is so low, other than that I have no other data."
"That is troubling, would you like to discuss this over a bit of tea?"
I chuckle to myself, "If you think it's necessary then happily." I stood up and began to follow my principal. "Oh, by the way, I wanted to talk to you about two other topics."
"Hm? Another innovative idea?" Nezu asked with interest.
"More like joint training between 1-A and 1-B, maybe we can start after internships?" I smirked at the interest in the eyes of the rodent.
"Continue…"
"Perhaps we can talk about this in your office over a snack, I'm still a little hungry."
"Just remember I'm not on the menu." Nezu jokes.
I snap my fingers sarcastically, "Not even a little bite?"
"Hahahaha. Not even the tip of my tail." We walked away.
(Time Skip)
Aizawa returned to his classroom with me behind him. I made my way to the podium.
"Kkrrruuuu," I release a low rumble from my chest to get everyone's attention, "Now then before we start the ceremony does anyone have anything to say?"
Truthfully I'm doing this for Midoriya, if he wanted to step down then was his chance.
I hear him take a breath, step forward and say, "I actually do." This grabs everyone's attention before he continues, "I would like to pass my vice presidency to Yaoyorozu, I believe she's more qualified than me."
The class is silent for a moment so I decide to break it, "If you truly believe that then there's nothing I can do." I then turned my attention to the classmate in question, "That is if she accepts."
Momo stands, bows while saying, "I'll be happy to accept."
A minute later their positions were switched and Momo was standing at the podium.
With Momo standing by my side I say, "Now then from what I've told and shown Iida helped out with calming down the lunchroom, along with the fact we're going to be stretched a little thin, and because you have always had a thing for order and following the rules. Would you like to be our assistant, Iida."
Iida gained a look of shock at the sudden question as he looked to us, "You want me to be your assistant?"
Momo nodded her head with a small smile, "Yes, Kenshi pointed out that the hero course is harder to maintain than normal school, so we decided to have an assistant to lessen the pressure." She said before looking at Aizawa, "If that's alright?"
Aizawa just took a sip of his juice, "It's fine, as long as there is a President and Vice-President by the end of the day I don't care what you do."
That made me smile as I looked at Iida, "So what do you say Iida, can you give us a hand?"
Iida gave us a proud smile as he stood up, "I would be happy to assist you two as best I can!" He said while throwing his left hand in the air, making everyone give a small cheer.
It's then that Sora raised her hand and stood up, "I would like to address the council!"
Everyone but Akane, Rin and I were looking at her with raised eyebrows.
However I smiled at her, "The council recognizes your request, you have the floor."
Sora rushes to the podium, she smiles down at us, "I have designed and created these badges as a two-way communication system between each other and also function as GPS locators. But that's not all; it's also a Universal Translator and a Radiation Detector."
For the next few minutes, Sora explained how to use the badges. Only for several of your classmates to point out that they were basically smartphones. Aizawa even gave her some praise for her ingenuity before continuing the class.
3rd(POV)
The next day in the afternoon Aizawa stood in front of the class for another announcement for the class. After Iida was given the position of an assistant for Kenshi and Momo things were a bit easier for the two handling things. He took his job seriously and knew his way around.
"For the foundation Skill of Heroics we'll study today," Aizawa explained as he stood behind the podium. "It was decided you'll be supervised by a three-man team consisting of me, All Might, and someone else."
"Decided?" Kenshi said with a raised brow.
Glacius' voice spoke up, 'It must be for someone special.'
"Sensei! What'll we be doing?" Sero said while raising his hand.
Aizawa reached into his scarf and started to pull something out, "Be the hero everybody needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster." He explained as he pulled out a card that said 'RESCUE' on it, "It's the trial of Rescue!"
"Trial of rescue sounds a bit different this time around," Denki said with a small grin.
"Totally!" Mina agreed in excitement.
"C'mon dumbass, that's what a hero's whole job is! I'm chomping at the bit!" Kirishima shouted to Denki, getting pumped up.
"If it's a flood, then that environment's my specialty, kero-kero," Tsuyu said with a bit of pride in her tone.
Kenshi leans back in his chair with a thoughtful look on his face, though there was a grin on his face. The best place for anyone to rescue someone was the city, high buildings would allow him a lot of mobility, though he was confident in his skills to handle other environments, he has trained with his father for years.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves," Aizawa said in a bored tone that held some weight as he pulled something else from his scarf, a remote. "As I was saying, this time, it's entirely up to each of you whether or not you wear your costume," he said as he pressed a button on the remote and the shelves holding their costumes popped out from the side of the room. "Some of your costumes probably aren't adapted to the task at hand, after all. The training area is fairly far away, so we'll get there by bus. That's all, go get prepared."
With that said everyone grabbed their case before changing into their hero costumes.
Fifteen minutes later.
With everyone outside in their costumes, Iida was trying to direct everyone into the bus, "In order to get everyone seated smoothly on the bus, file into two lines according to your number!" Iida called while waving his arm.
"Wow, Iida's going full throttle," Izuku muttered with a sweatdrop.
Glancing at the bus Kenshi was able to see it wasn't the type of bus he was thinking, "Iida." I called, grabbing the glasses teen's attention, "I think it's a different kind of bus!"
Iida tilted his head before he quickly looked inside to see what Izuku meant, "Never mind, there is no need for a seating argument." Iida called out as everyone started to get on the bus.
While we entered Sora passed out the badges she created, however Bakugo and Todoroki flat out refused to take or use one.
"There was no point huh~" Mina laughed as she sat down next to Iida, who was sulking a bit.
The bus started to move, taking everyone to their destination. At the same time, everyone started to chat.
"Hey, Izuku," Tsuyu said next to the green-haired teen, grabbing his attention. "You should know that I always speak my mind."
"Is that so Tsuyu," Izuku said with a bit of a blush and a small laugh.
Tsuyu turned to him with a smile, "During that mock battle I noticed that your quirk is very similar to All Might's." She said, making Izuku stutter.
"Y-You think so," Izuku said while rubbing the back of his head.
It's then that Kenshi speaks up, "Similar yes but All Might's quirk doesn't produce green electricity."
"Yeah that's true but it was still super manly," Kirishima said with a toothy grin. "I'm actually a bit jealous you're able to fight like that with just your fist and you showed how flashy you are with them." The redhead held up his arm and activated his quirk, making it turn jagged. "My 'Hardening' power isn't bad for punch-ups, but I hate that it's just not that flashy."
Izuku seemed to be glancing at the redhead's power before shaking his head, "I don't think so you quirk is super useful. You can resist almost all physical attacks and you can fall from great heights without it seriously affecting you. I mean think about it if something was about to hit a civilian, you could protect them like a shield. That's something perfect for a pro-hero."
Kirishima had a thoughtful look on his face before a toothy grin crossed his face, "A shield for civilians, that sounds super manly!" He said while pumping his fist.
"'Pros' huh, but you know heroics have a lot to do with what is basically a popularity contest, right?" Rin said while resting her head in her hands. "My Glyphs are both flashy and strong enough for the Pro Levels and there are plenty here that we'll all be great Pros," She encouraged with a smile on her face.
"If we're talking about both strong and flashy, you can't forget to mention Todoroki and Bakugo!" Kirishima said while glancing at the two that were sitting off to the side.
Bakugo just clicked his teeth as he glanced to the side. I hated to admit it, but Kirishima was right. Flashy quirks were helpful for heroes to become popular, and being popular got heroes more money for things such as weapons or just to live. Though father did point out to me that a useful quirk was better and more dangerous than one that was just flashy. There was nothing wrong with a flashy quirk, it was just better to have something more practical.
"Although Bakugo's always fuming and cursing everyone he sees, so he won't be very popular." Tsuyu pointed out without any hesitation.
"You bitch! I'll be popular too!" Bakugo yelled while glaring at Tsuyu.
Tsuyu, however, wasn't even fazed by Bakugo's insult and just pointed at him, "See?" She said while sticking her tongue out in a playful manner.
I could tell Izuku felt like punching Bakugo in the face for insulting one of his friends, but since Tsuyu didn't seem the least bit fazed he seemed to let it pass.
"It's only been a brief while since we all met and yet already we have figured out your personality. Which is the equivalent of a turd in a pile of flaming garbage." Denki pointed out with a small laugh.
"I'll fucking kill you!" Bakugo yelled at the blond, who also didn't look the least bit fazed.
I looked over to see Izuku held back a laugh behind his hand as he looked at the scene before him.
"What a vulgar conversation," Momo said with a slightly disgusted look on her face.
Ochako, on the other hand, was laughing up a storm, "But they make me laugh!"
"Damn Bakugo, you are one foul mouth dude," Kirishima said with a small laugh.
Aizawa unzipped his sleeping bag and glanced back with an annoyed look on his face, "We're almost there so settle down already..."
"Yes, sir!"
"Amazing!"
Amazing was one word to describe what we were seeing. Entering the USJ building from a high ground class 1-A was treated to what UA had to offer in training their heroes.
"Flood wreaks, landslides, fires and more," A hero in a big white coat and dome on the top of their head said. "This is a practical training area I created, to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters, and its name is... The Unforeseen Simulation Joint!"
"It's the Space Hero 13!" Izuku said in excitement with stars in his eyes, "They're one of the best heroes when it comes to disaster relief!"
"Wow, I've always liked No. 13!" Ochako said while bouncing up and down.
Both 13 and Aizawa seem to have a quick conversation off to the side. From what I hear it had something to do with All Might not being able to show up, he must have been caught up with a particularly strong villain.
13 then turned to the class as they brought up their hand, "Before we begin, just one thing… or two... or three... or four..." They slowly trailed off.
'Wow they have a lot to say,' Glacius chuckles.
Thankfully 13 ended their counting, "Anyway, I'm certain you're already quite aware, but my quirk is called 'Black Hole.' No matter what material that gets sucked into its vortex, I'm afraid it will turn to dust." He explained while raising his hand.
"It's a quirk that's perfect for removing wreckage and saving people injured by disasters!" Izuku said with a grin as Ochako nodded her head rapidly.
"Yes... It is, however, a power that could also easily be used to kill people," 13 said in a serious tone, making everyone quiet. "And in that way, it's no different from the quirks of everyone here."
I couldn't help but glance down at my hands. My flames were hotter than normal so they could do a lot more damage. Any quirk could be dangerous and it was the responsibility of a hero to find a balance from the two.
13 explained that everyone here had the power not only to save lives but also take them. Aizawa's test was to test our limits, and All Might's test was to give them a sense of control against one another.
"These lessons will serve as a fresh start! Let's get to studying about how to wield our quirks for the sake of human life!" The pro-hero said with a passion that got everyone pumped up, "Your quirks do not exist to hurt others! That is all!" 13 said while taking a bow, "You have my gratitude for listening so intently and patiently!"
"That was awesome!" Ochako said while pumping her arms.
"Bravo! Bravo!" Iida clapped.
Everyone had a big smile on their faces showing that they were pumped up. 13 was the kind of hero we all admired a lot, 13's goal was to save people instead of just fighting villains, lives mattered more to the space hero instead of popularity.
I could hear the greenette's heartbeat accelerate, he obviously couldn't help himself as he pulled out his purple notebook and held it out to the space hero, "If you wouldn't mind, could I get your autograph?" He asked with a slight blush on his face.
It's then I feel something form in the air, my whiskers quiver in discuss at the taste of the of thing in the air.
"It would be my pleasure," 13 said with a friendly laugh as they wrote their name in the notebook, they even drew little stars on the side.
I turn around slightly towards the plaza only to smell a slight cologne, like the kind someone would smell in a smooth jazz bar.
"Where did you even pull that out?" Jiro asked with a raised brow.
Bakugo scoffed and said, "It's one of the few things I can't figure out about the damn Nerd."
I can't help but to unconsciously walk over to the stairs and see a black wisp.
Izuku smirked back at his childhood friend, "Trade Secret." He said with a grin as he put the purple book behind him for a second and it seemed to disappear.
"It's gone!" Mina shouted in shock.
Aizawa cleared throat, grabbing everyone's attention, however, I seem to have caught his attention, "Hayabusa."
I could feel everyone's eyes on me, "Mister Aizawa there's something in the plaza!"
"What are you talking about..." Aizawa asked before cutting himself off, "Everyone get back!" Aizawa yelled, catching everyone off guard, "13, protect the students!"
On pure instinct I split myself, once done Glacius threw the element handles to his brothers and once in hand they each ignited their elements. For Nova his blade is a dark that pulses with a restraint fury, Raiden's blade is blue with an unstable crackle and Glacius' a cyan blue katana blade with an icy fog imitating off, each of them were ready for anything. When we looked down the fountain to see multiple people in scary-looking costumes coming out of a black mist. Our eyes landed on the lead person with severed hands all over his body and felt a shiver run up our spines as we felt the bloodlust coming off the person in waves.
"What is that!? Is this a part of the training?" Kirishima asked while looking down with a curious look.
Glacius holds up hand to stop him, "We're here to learn about rescue not combat."
"He's right!" Aizawa shouted as he put his goggles on, "Those are real villains!"
The statement alone was shocking, to say the least as everyone tensed at the large group of people down below, some were even scared.
"Eraserhead and 13..." A man-made out of black mist said. "According to the teachers' curriculum yesterday All Might was supposed to be here and yet..." He trailed off in a disappointed tone.
'Fuck, so yesterday was the doing of these louts…' we thought while narrowing were eyes.
After hearing that we started to piece things together. Apparently, these villains used the press to sneak into UA and steal the class schedule to find out where they were going. If that was the case, why were they hitting the class when All Might was supposed to be here.
"Where is he..." The lead villain covered in severed hands said, bloodlust radiating off his body. "We went through all this trouble and rustled up so many of us to bring along. You can't tell me All Might... the Symbol of Peace... isn't here..." He said in a low tone, his voice laced with madness. "I wonder if he'll show up if we kill the kids?" He asked in a carefree tone, but you could hear the mad joy in his voice.
I couldn't help but reel back at the hands' villain's words. "They're... they're here for All Might... but that would mean..."
If they're confident enough to try for All Might then they're confident enough to kill us all.
Such a thing should be impossible to think of, sure the occasional villain would try their luck against the number one hero, thinking they would have a chance with their quirk. But it always ended the same, villains would lose to All Might in a matter of seconds.
I looked at myself to see we were all going slightly pale.
I was suddenly knocked out of our thoughts as we heard Momo speak, "Sensei! What about the intruder alarm sensors!?" She called out to 13.
"Of course we have some setup, but...!" They trailed off in a confused tone.
"Is this the only campus they've infiltrated, or are they attacking others too?" Todoroki said slowly as he looked down at the villains with a calm look on his face. "Then that just means they must have one amongst their numbers who has a quirk that can do that."
I latched latch onto Todoroki's idea, just to help him stop thinking about the idea of them having someone here to kill All Might however it was Izuku to speak, "It would have to be an area of effect quirk, large enough that it could cover the whole building but not too big as to draw attention." He said as he glanced down at the villains, his eyes landing on the largest one with purple skin. "They planned for this, knowing we would come here with only a few teachers, but knowing no other hero would come."
"But what could be their main goal?" Todoroki asked while narrowing his eyes.
Apparently, he didn't hear what the hands' villain said.
Aizawa stepped at the top of the steps with a glare on his face, his hair standing on its end, "13, do the evacuation procedure! And try to call the school! These villains know how to get around the sensors! There's a chance there's an electro wave-type guy who'll try interfering!" He then glanced back at one student, "Kaminari, you too! Try to contact U.A. with your quirk and headphones!" He said, making the blond teen jump.
Izuku saw what his teacher had in mind and he didn't like it one bit, "Sensei!" He called out, making the pro-hero look back. "Sensei... they knew All Might was going to be here." He said in a serious tone, grabbing the teacher's attention. "They knew you were going to be here with All Might... yet they still decided to attack. No person with even one present of common sense would do that... unless they have a serious plan that could counter both."
Aizawa started at Izuku for a long moment before turning forward, "I won't allow you kids to put your lives in danger, I am the teacher and pro-hero here." He said while putting his goggles on.
"I don't think they'll give us much of a choice," Izuku said in a low tone before readying himself.
Sora quickly made her way to our teacher and pulled something out of her pockets, "Mr. Aizawa, here!" She said before throwing them to Aizawa.
The pro-hero caught what Sora threw with one hand easily, and looked at what he had raised an eyebrow at the techno teen. "Smoke pellets?" He asked.
"They were some of the first things I learned to create with my nanites. Anyways your fighting style works best at night with sneak attacks, you'll be able to hold them off, but if you're in a pinch, use them," Sora said with a serious look on her face.
Aizawa looked at the teen before pocketing the smoke bombs, "It's always best to have more than one trick up your sleeve, especially for a hero!" He said before looking at 13, "13, I'm counting on you!"
With that said Aizawa leaped down the stairs while grabbing his capture weapon. I watch as the villains try and fail to use their quirks to attack Eraserhead, but fail when their quirks don't work, he must have erased them. Eraserhead had more than enough time to wrap them in his capture weapon before pulling the scarf hard. In an instant their bodies came flying together head first and a satisfying creak was heard.
"Ya bunch of morons! You can tell just by looking, that's the quirk that erases other quirks!" I hear one villain shout out.
"Eraserhead!?" Another cried out in fear.
Despite learning who they were fighting, one villain stepped up, this one's body was covered in rocks and he had four large arms, "It erases quirks~ Hehe~." He said playfully as he pulled his two left arms back for a punch, "Can you even erase mutant-types like us!?" He shouted before he charged.
The villain didn't even get five feet ahead before Aizawa punched him square in the face with enough force to throw him back. Eraserhead then used his scarf to throw the villain into a group of other villains, knocking them down.
Nova was the one watching Akane look on as our teacher fought. Despite being outnumbered and out-powered, Aizawa was pushing the villains back with near ease, even though his quirk did not work on some of the villains. That's what Akane admired about Eraserhead, despite not having a combat quirk he fights in a way that might as well be a Quirkless person.
Glacius and Raiden on the other hand we're guiding the other students out of the building.
Nova placed his hand on her shoulder shocking her out of stupor, "Akane we need to move, the sooner we get out of here the sooner we can get Eraserhead backup!" He said as everyone started to rush to the exit.
Akane nods and says, "Yeah… you're right."
The two of us turned to the exit, however a wall of purple mist blocked there, "I'm afraid I can't allow that." The person inside the smoke spoke with glowing white eyes.
Our eyes narrowed at the cloud of mist as the mist around the eyes formed vaguely ahead.
"Greetings, we are the Villain Alliance," He said in a formal voice a lot like 13, but darker. "I apologize for the presumption but we took it upon ourselves to enter UA Academy, the base of heroes," He said in his formal tone. "In order to engage with Mr. All Might, the 'Symbol of Peace'. We were wondering if we might be allowed the opportunity to extinguish him, you see." The casual statement sent a wave of shock through everyone present, "Was All Might delayed due to something else coming up? Perchance, has something been altered? Ah Well... setting that aside..."
In an instant 13 opened the pointing finger on his right glove as the black mist grew.
"This is my role."
Before the villain could go any farther Bakugo and Kirishima both jumped in front of the villain and let off an attack, at the same time Izuku let loose a blast of pressurized air. All three attacks hit at once and were enough to push the mist villain back.
"Bet you didn't think we'd be able to attack you before you got the chance!" Kirishima yelled as he held off his hardened arm.
"That was quite perilous," The mist villain said, not even fazed. "To be expected. Though you may be mere students, you are also the hero world's 'Golden Eggs'"
"It's no use, just run!" 13 called out in complete worry, grabbing Bakugo and Kirishima's attention, "Run, you two!"
In a blink of an eye we were all surrounded by the black mist, blocking all of our paths.
I activated my emissions however the mist had covered everyone at once.
"Fuck!"
As the black mist disappears the only students left with 13 are Sora, Rin, Tenya, Mina, Ochaco and Sero.
With Nova
By the time I could see anything I was in the Fire Zone and could feel my power increasing.
"The Fire Zone!" I whisper to myself.
"There he is!" I hear from my right to see a group of villains running down the street towards my location.
I raise my right hand and say, "Firefly."
Small blue orbs come out of my hand and make their way to the villains who stop in their tracks.
"The hell?!" One of the villains say however when the a couple of the orbs begin to mold around them then begin to laugh, "Ha, these things are fucking harmless!"
They all begin to laugh.
"You think so?" I ask, grabbing their attention before I snap my fingers.
The orbs explode in their immediate proximity sending them every way but mine.
"~~~," I hear Akane's signal.
I rocket into an alleyway before turning into another and then another. I exited into another street and saw Akane standing above a bunch of downed villains.
"Akane," I said as I flew down next to her. "Are you alright," I ask, getting a smirk out of her.
"Yeah just pissed off," Akane says as she removes her foot from a villain's crotch as he whimpers as he falls to the floor.
I robbed the back of my head, "Yeah lucky you got a lot of victims to take out your misplaced aggression on."
True to my words a group of villains are running towards our location.
I'm about to ignite my fist when Akane says, "Get going."
"What?" I ask.
"Sensei is on a time limit and facing the alpha wolves, compared to them these guys are puppies," Akane says as she begins to get into a fighting stance.
Knowing better than to argue with my sparring partner I say, "Keep yourself safe."
She glances at him, "That's the plan."
With that I rocket myself into the sky and then towards the exit.
Glacius and Nova had put themselves in front of Sora and Rin respectfully when the mist villain expanded. Once the mist cleared, Ashido, Sero, Sora, Uraraka, Iida and Rin stood between the villain and Thirteen. Everyone else had disappeared.
"What happened? Where is everyone!" Iida shouted.
Sora quickly activated her Hero Watch before checking everyone's vitals, "Iida all eighteen badges are still within the UJA."
"That's at least good to hear," Thirteen took to convincing Iida to run. "Iida you need to run to get the other teachers."
"What," lida asked in shock. "Thirteen I can't just abandon everyone- "
"You aren't abandoning us," Thirteen snaps. "We need you to go and get the other teachers."
Iida got a hardened look before saying, "Yes Senpai."
It was then Sora relieved that she was just watching from the background, concentrating. She could feel her mind racing, she was calculating. She was picking through each and every simulation to calculate in her head but could only find one.
Thirteen was telling Iida to run back to the school. That was a good plan. But if Thirteen attacked the portal villain with a physical disintegration…
"Everyone!" Sora placed herself between her classmates and the villain. "I have a plan! Ashido, you and I need to keep him busy. If you throw your acid and I attack from the back, you should be able to keep him distracted. Uraraka, Sero, try getting a hold on him and we'll go for the capture. Iida do as Thirteen-sensei says! Rin, please cover his retreat."
"Kawakami-kun, you shouldn't…" Thirteen tries to speak up but Sora cuts them off.
"Sensei, you're not a good match against him," Sora didn't turn around. She locked eyes with the villain and took a deep breath, "We need to keep him distracted."
"Even in a situation like this, who in their right mind reveals their plan to the enemy?" Villain said as he flared up in anticipation of the fight, Sora exhaled the breath she was holding and released.
She created a pair of Hephaestus Fits and Boots, shocking the mist villain.
"We're going to defeat you," Sora told the villain.
"Oh and how's that?" The villain chuckled.
She grinned before stepping forward. Springing her forward.
"BY GOING… PLUS… ULTRA…!" She shouted with a grin before stepping forward, the springs in her boots launched her towards the mist villain.
Sora's sudden motion caught the villain off guard slightly however he put up a portal in her way. Sora in response uses the springs on her left boot to bound over it like it was a simple hurdle. In fact she cleared it several times over, while in the air she rocketed her fists towards the mist cladded villain. The mist villain has to dodge the fist on the right only to be met by acid. As the villain looked to his left he felt something wrap around his bracer, then felt something tap the bracer soon after. As Iida ran past him the feeling of weightlessness took over him. Then just as suddenly he gets pulled into the air, looking down he sees that he was connected to the hero in training that looked like a tape dispenser, however just as troubling is the fact that the brunette in pink had moved. He then took notice that Iida was more than halfway to the exit, stealing himself and the villain creating a portal in front of the engine teen. Then he spots something even more troubling, the girl in the back runs forward before throwing an orange circle on the ground in front of her, she then used the orange circle as a bounce pad before jumping in the air, she then threw a yellow circle at the portal he had created, it dissipated into thin air.
Scoffing to himself the mist villain created a portal in his own mist body disappearing from sight.
With Glacius
I fall out of the portal into what I can presume is the Storm Zone.
"Hayabusa!" I turn to see Tokoyami running towards me. He stops next to me and asks, "Are you okay?"
I nod and say, "Nothing out of place." Looking around I see a large amount of villains surrounding us, "I suggest we use hit and run tactics."
Tokoyami and I go back-to-back before he said, "I think we should prioritize our current situation."
I flip my blade around into the back handle position, point it to the ground and say, "I can grant us an opening. Cocytus," I barely tap the tip of my sword and within an instant the villain's legs are frozen to the ground. "The ice won't last, we should split up."
Tokoyami nods, "Safely to you."
"To you as well," I say.
With that we depart; Tokoyami's dark shadow extends out, grabs a light pole and pulls him out of the circle, while I slam my right foot down, creating a pillar in the shape of my foot sending me into the air.
With all of the water in the air I can actually brief platforms in the air, so I basically walked towards the exit.
With Raiden
I end up in the Landscape Zone with Todoroki and Toru although the former didn't seem to notice.
"I don't believe we meet," I say to Todoroki as I point to the ground, attracting the iron sand out of the ground, turning the blue blade black with blue electric arcing off.
Todoroki grumbles, "No we haven't, stay back."
In an instant Todoroki freezes the villains rushing towards him.
I control my electricity by pulling my collapsible disk from my waist and expanding it on the ground.
I turn to Todoroki and say, "I can feel my brothers converging towards the plaza, you are free to join when you're done here." I then turn to a large rock off to the right as I step on the disk, "Hagakure, keep yourself safe."
With that I electrify the disk and fly off towards the plaza.
As Izuku, Tsu and Mineta got closer to the plaza they noticed Eraserhead face off against the hand villain, the same one who was the first to come out of the portal. Aizawa closed the distance fast and jabbed his elbow into the villain's stomach.
Izuku blinked when he had the fight pause for a few seconds before Aizawa punched the villain square in the jaw and threw him back a few feet. As Aizawa jumped back Izuku noticed his elbow was black showing exposed muscles.
Izuku rapidly thought, 'A Decay quirk, he can destroy anything he touches with his hands. Most likely this requires either all five fingers or the palm to activate. Speed of the quirk may vary depending on the target, though it is deadly nonetheless. How to counter: avoid hands at all cost and break fingers, grab users' wrists and hold them in submission, use long-distance attacks instead of closed quarters."
As Izuku analyzed the villains' quirk, two more villains showed up and tried to attack Aizawa from behind. The pro-hero reacted fast and countered the two villains easily, though he did not use his left arm.
Izuku blinked for a single moment before he paled as he saw the large figure behind Eraserhead with his hand out. The figure was muscular, purple with scars all over his body, and the strangest thing about the villain wasn't blinking its eyes and it had its brain exposed.
The young fighter moved on instinct alone as he pulled back a finger and launched a blast of air. A second later he pulled Mineta and Tsuyu down into the water, much to their surprise.
As the air flew towards the large purple figure grabbed Aizawa by the arm and a loud crunch was heard, making Aizawa screaming in pain. The air hit the purple goliath and in an instant, his shoulder jerked by releasing his victim. Aizawa used this opening to pull himself away and gain some distance from the purple monsters.
The pro-hero's left arm was bleeding heavily and was bent in an awkward angle, 'He snapped me like a twig! Looking at any part of his body should have been enough to erase his quirk... that means this is his base power!' He thought with some shock.
"Oh~," The hands' villain said in a bored tone. "Well aren't you a lucky one. My Nomu isn't one to let his prey slip away, even with some minor interference." He said as he looked around lazily to see where the arrow may have come from.
The Nomu didn't move and seemed to just stare at Eraserhead with a blank expression. The pro-hero and villain just seemed to stare down one another, waiting for someone to make a move.
Suddenly a black mist appeared behind the hands' villain, grabbing his attention, "Shigaraki Tomura." The mist man said in a proper tone.
"Kurogiri, is No. 13 dead?" Tomura asked with some hope in his voice.
Eraserhead and Izuku both stored those names in their minds.
"I was about to incapacitated them. However, I'm afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me... and one was, therefore, able to escape with his life." He said in a neutral tone.
Tomura was quiet for a long moment as he stared at the mist man, "Huh?" The young man then seemed to be twitching and scratching his neck excessively, "Black-Mist, if you can't be a proper warp gate then our plans have crumbled... There's no doubt that if they throw dozens of pros at us, we can't win." He said in a shaky tone, more in frustration than actual worry, "It's game over. Aaaah... it's game over... for now."
Izuku gave Tomura a long stare with narrow eyes. Despite being the leader of the villains Tomura didn't seem the most mentally sound, more that he let his emotions determine his choice. And that made him all the more dangerous.
"Shall we hop back?" He asked in a down tone.
That seemed to catch the hero-in-training's attention.
"Hop back? As in, they're retreating?" Mineta asked in a hopeful tone as he peeked over the side. "Y-yaaay, we're saved! We're sa-"
Izuku grabbed Mineta by the mouth in a hard grip and pushed him underwater.
"Will you keep it fucking down," The green hair teen growled as he didn't take his eyes off the villains in the plaza. "Do you want to give away our position?" He asked while narrowing his eyes. "But I don't think they've done just yet, they came all the way here and did nothing, but tell us a villain group is aiming for All Might. They don't seem the type to back down," He muttered while letting go of the purple hair teen, who was now deadly pale.
"Actually, before that, why don't we use this opportunity to take..." Izuku blinked, blinked for a single second, and within that instant Tomura was right on the shoreline in front of them, his hand reaching out for Tsuyu."The Symbol of Peace's pride down a notch!"
Everything seemed to move in slow motion. The three heroes-in-training all felt shocked and horror as his hand moved closer and closer to Tsuyu's head. Izuku remembered what Tomura's quirk did to Eraserhead's elbow and he felt his heart stop before his eyes sharpened.
Eraserhead tried to look at Tomura but Nomu was blocking his line of sight. "NO!"
Just as Tomura's hand was about to touch Tsuyu's face it stopped just an inch with a jerk.
"Oh~," The villain said in a playful tone as he looked to the right. "Well, aren't you a cool guy?"
Izuku just glared at the villain as he tightens his grip around his wrist. It was only thanks to a quick burst of One for All that he was able to catch the villains' hand before he killed Tsuyu. The frog girl was breathing heavily while looking deadly pale, she had just seen her whole life flashes before her eyes.
"Why don't you pick a fight with someone your own size," Izuku asked with a wicked grin on his face.
Tomura pulled back and jumped a few feet back, at the same time Izuku quickly climbed out of the water with One for All crackling.
The hand villain sized Izuku up and noticed the holes on his gloves, "You're the one that shot that air blast." He said as a fact while tilting his head.
"Wasn't that hard, your friend's a big target," Izuku said with a hardening glare while shifting into a fighting stance.
Tomura seemed to laugh at Izuku's joke as he ran his hand through his hair, "You're funny..." He said before releasing a large amount of killer intent, "But for some reason, you're seriously pissing me off."
Tomura crouched low before charging at Izuku at full speed. If the young hero didn't know any better he would have guessed Tomura had a speed quirk of some kind, it was almost unnaturally fast for someone without a speed quirk.
Izuku brought up his hand and shot an air blast at the villain when, only for Tomura to zigzag out of the way and reach for Izuku's chest. But the young hero saw this attack coming a mile away.
Grabbing Tomura's wrist like last time Izuku twisted the limb before flipping the villain onto his stomach. Izuku held onto Tomura's arm and made sure none of his hands could touch him.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Tomura moaned in pain as he felt his shoulder joint nearly pop out. "Nomu!"
However the Nomu doesn't move, in fact it doesn't seem to breathe.
However just as Tomura is about to call for Nomu again another voice speaks up, "Nomu, so that's what this ugly thing's called."
The two combatants and Kurogiri look past the Nomu to see Raiden with an outstretched hand, unknown to the three of them thin wire-like strains of hair extending from his hand. Because of Kenshi's hair growth his hair is often compared to wires and as a result of this Raiden can electrify his own hair.
"What… what did you do to my Nomu?!" Tomura asked loudly.
"Counter question, how the fuck did you create this freak of nature?" Raiden ask just as loud.
"Why the hell should I tell you our secrets?" Tomura asked loudly, clearly trying to start a shouting match.
"Well look who's calling the kettle black you sorry excuse for a lotion advertisement," Raiden yells back making everyone go silent.
In reality, thanks to the easy access to Nomu's brain Raiden was quickly able to match and overpower Nomu's bioelectrical field. By matching it's bioelectric the Nomu will be unable to move however, overpowering it would override Nomu's motor functions.
"Rah," Tomura rushes Raiden, however the electric user barely flicks her ring finger causing Nomu to clothes the hand villain.
In a sense Nomu was Raiden's puppet.
Raiden begins to laugh hysterically as he moves Nomu off of his teacher and allowing Tsuyu and Mineta to help Aizawa off the ground.
However it's Kurogiri who acts first by creating a portal underneath the electric teen, it would have surprised Raiden if he didn't feel a pressure change directly under him. Raiden used his electricity to pull the scattered iron sand to his feet, stopping him from falling in.
It was then that Tomura managed to get out of range of Nomu and rushed Raiden. Knowing he had limited time; he knew he could only rely on his trump card, his brothers.
One foot away from Raiden's hand a pair of ice blasts hit Tomura's hands, encasing them in ice. A small blue flame flies past Raiden's legs before Nova bursts out with a flaming uppercut to Tomura's chin.
The hand villain lands on in a crouching position before slamming his hands into the ground, shattering the ice.
Tomura is both shocked and angered, "What the hell, there are three of you!"
Nova smirks, "We're the element brothers, you dick weed." He then turns to Raiden, "Wait, what do you call him earlier?"
This gets a shocked look out of Tomura.
Raiden thinks for a brief moment before saying, "A sorry excuse for a lotion advertisement?"
"That's the one!" Nova said excitedly. "Then again I think Masturbater would work just as well," Nova said, just as animated.
Glacius groans, "Why is it that I have to be the most mature out of all of us?"
However before either of them could give a childish response Tomura's frustration reaches a boiling point, "These Mods Are Getting In My Way!"
"I'll take Masturbater."
"I got Black Mist."
"And I'll continue to play puppet Master but this… thing."
BOOM*
"Have no fear," A single voice boomed through the plaza, stopping every single person in their tracks. "For I am here," He said while ripping off his tie.
Everyone turned to the main door of USJ to see All Might himself at the top of the stairs. He was wearing his teacher uniform only without the yellow jacket. But he was also accompanied by at least a dozen police officers.
"All Might!" Mineta screamed with tears running down his face.
Aizawa gave a small snort but had a small grin on his face, "What took you so long?"
Izuku and Kenshi also felt relief wash over him but also noticed something different about All Might. He wasn't smiling, laughing, or even grinning, in fact, he looked pissed to hell.
'I guess I'd be pissed too if someone tried to kill a bunch of kids just to get to me,' You didn't even have to see his face to tell he was pissed, the area around him was practically steaming.
"We were waiting for you, hero," Tomura said in a calm voice, not even fazed by the number one hero's arrival. "Or should I say, you 'Hero Trash'."
The remaining villains Aizawa hadn't knocked out were also stunned by All Might presents. As some tried to prepare for a fight All Might just dash forward and blinding speeds before appearing next to Aizawa, knocking all the villains in his way out with one blow.
"I apologize for being late, Aizawa. I came as soon as young Tenya found me." All Might said in a low tone while glancing at Aizawa's injuries. The other teacher had a severely broken arm and his right eye was swollen shut with blood leaking out.
The teacher just snorted as he held his broken arm, "You always seem to take your sweet time getting places." He said in a bored tone, though his one good eye was still stuck on the large purple monster.
All Might followed Aizawa's line of sigh and his eyes instantly landed on Izuku, Tsuyu, Mineta and the persona of Kenshi. Before anyone could even react, All Might dashed forward and grabbed the student before bringing them away from villains a safe distance. However in the process of pulling Raiden, All Might had spanned the strains of hairs keeping the Nomu in place.
The personas yelled out all at once, "No!"
"Head towards the entrance, you four!" All Might said while standing protectively from the students. "Aizawa, go with the children and find the rest of the students!" The Pro-Hero hesitated for a single moment before springing off to see if No. 13 was still alive.
The personas suddenly fused back together, shocking the villains.
"All Might!" Kenshi yelled out, shocking his teacher. "That thing snapped Mr. Aizawa like a tig. We could have gotten them arrested without little to no trouble but now I doubt I'll get in there a second chance like that."
'Damn it! He doesn't have much time, minutes at most, if not then he's running on fumes.' The young archer thought grimly as he tightened his hand around CC.
"Ahhh... It's not good... I'm sorry... father," Tomura said while picking up the severed hand, making Izuku feel sick to his stomach. "He took the opportunity to hit you while he was saving them... Hahaha, they call it 'The State's Legitimate Monopoly of Violence'. He really is quite fast, huh my eyes couldn't follow him. And yet, he wasn't as fast as I expected. Could it be that our Intel was true after all...?" Tomura sent the pro-hero a crazy look filled with mad glee, "About how you're weakening..."
The two of them felt a pit in their stomachs as they grit their teeth. Izuku didn't know how they came to the conclusion All Might was weakening, maybe they did some number and found his appearances happening less often over the years, or could someone have slipped that All Might was losing time. For Kenshi on the other hand found Tomura's words unsettling, he could smell the injury on All Might however didn't know how recent the injury was. His mind was coming up with theories on how the villains could have known about it. Was it from his early days in America or more than all, my face is particularly stronger than in the past and his injury is finally starting to become troublesome?
"All Might!" Izuku called, making the muscled hero glance back. "...The hand villain had a Decay quirk, whatever he touched with his hands started to rot within seconds, it practically destroyed Mr. Aizawa's elbow. The Black-Mist villain has a warp quirk, he can create portals with his mist and he's fast with them. The purple villain... he may be as strong and fast as you, but only to a certain level."
All Might grinned as he gave Izuku a thumbs up, "Thanks for the info Midoriya, my boy!"
"Hey, that's not fair~" Tomura whined like a child. "You can't give hero info like that, that's cheating."
All Might's response was to dash forward with his arms crossed. "Carolina..."
"Nomu," The purple monster stood in front of All Might without a single second of hesitation.
"Smash!"
The Nomu took the attack full force, but to the young heros shock, the monster didn't even flinch. Instead, it lunged forward and tried to grab the number one hero. All Might was caught off guard by the villain not being affected by his attack, but All Might was still able to dodge at the last second.
"I can't believe it, my blows," All Might used his full weight to punch Nomu in the stomach, only for nothing to happen again. "Aren't working at all!" He said in shock but didn't stop attacking.
Tomura stood off to the side with his hands at his sides, not even fazed from the two goliaths fighting. "Look no further than the beast's amazing 'Shock Absorption' quirk. In other words, a fist-fighting hero is useless against someone like him, it'd be easier to scoop out his guts." He said as All Might punched the monster right in the brain, only for it to be ineffective again.
Shock-Absorption/Mutation Quirk: The user can absorb the kinetic force of all blunt attacks and store them inside its body, most likely can throw the force buildup back in attacks. This quirk most likely reduces the shock of blunt attacks, but not completely nullifies. Counter: use blade and energy attacks to weaken the enemy to the point of exhaustion. Knockout gas and other sleep drugs may be useful to slow down the user.
The two of them analyzed Nomu's quirk. All Might went behind Nomu and graved it behind the waist, "Thanks for telling me! If that's all it takes, then don't worry!" The Number one hero shouted as he started to pull up, "It'll be a cinch!"
In a dramatic fashion when All Might suplex the Nomu there was a large explosion, creating a large dust cloud.
"Since when do suplexes become so explosive!" Mineta shouted in shock and awe, "All Might really be a world away from us!"
"Though when it comes to teaching, he's still a beginner who needs to read off of cue cards."
Izuku gave a low snort at Tsuyu's attempt to lighten the mood, though he still had a serious look in his eye. A part of him wanted to help All Might, but at the strength and skill he was at now he would only hold the hero back, becoming a liability rather than an asset. All he could do at the moment was believe All Might can beat them.
"Go All Might! Aim for his croooootch!" Mineta cheered with tears in his eyes.
"Maybe we were overthinking the situation..." Tsuyu said as she stared at the large explosion, "His strength is dumbfounding."
"Even so..."
Izuku was one of the few people in USJ who knew about All Might's limit. The villains suspected but even they didn't have any solid evidence. If All Might was pushed past his limit then he would die without question, and Izuku was the only one who could save him, should he ever be pushed beyond his limit.
"GUHH!"
When the smoke cleared Izuku and Kenshi paled at what they saw.
The attack All Might had used failed. Instead of being embedded into the ground the Nomu was instead inside a black portal, making the attack completely ineffective. Not only that, there was a second portal under All Might's body, with Nomu's claws digging into his sides.
"You planned to dive him deep into the concrete and seal his movements, right?" Tomura said with a smug tone, "But it would have been useless, given that Nomu is the same power level as you! Isn't it great Kurogiri? He handed us the perfect chance on a silver platter!"
Izuku and Kenshi's eyes widened as they realized the villains' true plan. The Nomu wasn't here just to combat All Might's power, but also his speed, specifically stopping him. Kurogiri's portals were fast but nowhere close to All Might's speed. But now that All Might couldn't move, it wouldn't take much for Black-Mist to chop All Might in half, or Tomura to rot All Might's entire body.
"Izuku!"
"Hayabusa!"
The young fighter and dragon ignored Tsuyu and Aizawa calling out their names as they sprinted forward. However Kenshi suddenly stops but it goes unnoticed by Izuku.
'You can't die Dad, there's still so much for you to teach me!' Izuku increased his quirks output.
Izuku tensed four of his fingers before releasing bursts of air equally at each of the villains; the first and third blasts of air hit Kurogiri; however, due to the distance the blasts had weakened only caused the mist emission to flicker like a flame. The second and fourth blasts were tanked by Tomura although he wouldn't actually admit to actually having to try.
Tomura simply looked up at the greenette, "Did you really think a simple move like that could beat me-"
Bang*
Tomura's head whipped back as he was hit by a fifth and more concentrated blast of air.
"20% bitch!" Izuku yelled.
"Get out of the fucking way Deku!"
Bakugo came flying in with his arm out and blasted Black Mist with an explosion. He then grabbed the metal neck and slammed the villain to the ground hard.
At the same time, Nomu started to freeze on the side, it was so fast it nearly took half of his body.
"I heard about you bastards' plan. About each of your roles in the scheme to kill All Might." A calm voice said as the temperature started to drop.
Izuku glanced to the side to see Todoroki with a calm look on his face, though he still looked slightly pissed off.
"Rraahh!"
Kirishima came swinging in at Tomura with his hardened arm, but even with his senses confused the villain was still able to dodge the attack, though his shirt shredded a bit.
"Shit! I had him!" Kirishima growled as he glared at the villain.
"No funny business out of you, you shadow-ass mobiling!" Bakugo said with an almost crazed grin on his face.
"The symbol of peace won't go down as easily as you clowns," Todoroki said, still keeping a calm look on his face.
Izuku couldn't help but feel a grin on his face as he stared at everyone, "About time someone else showed up, I thought I would have all the fun for me and All Might." Inside, however, Izuku felt relief, 'With them here we should be able to pull off some of the heat on All Might.'
"Like hell Deku!" Bakugo shouted while glaring at the young archer.
All Might then noticed Nomu's grip slack and saw its current state, "A freezing attack!" He then saw Todoroki off to the side and a trail of ice leading to him, "He has so much precision, he was able to freeze him without catching me in it!"
With the Nomu half-frozen All Might used this opportunity to pull himself out of the Nomu's grasp, "Thank you my boy!"
"The symbol of peace won't go down that easily as you clowns," Todoroki said with his usual face.
Izuku, however, was thinking differently, 'I might have been able to shake the Nomu's grip, but there's no guarantee, not to mention the Nomu had Dad by his wound. Thanks to Todoroki Dad was able to get away without too much injury.' He thought as he glanced at All Might, who was grabbing his bloody side.
Tomura was looking at Bakugo holding down Black mist, "You pinned down our revolving door... well now... this is quite the pinch..."
Bakugo just grinned, "Just as I thought, this prick was never that sharp!" He said with a laugh, "That bit on your body you used to get all misty and warp-gatey just got sealed mother-fucker! You're gonna tell me you don't use that warp-gate to hide your true body!? Huh!? If that shadow-mist were your true form and you had no actual body then why would you call any attack dangerous!?"
Izuku was slightly impressed by Bakugo's analyses. Mostly the blond would just overpower his opponent, never analyzing their quirks.
"Urrrgh.."
"Don't you move!" Bakugo threatens while pushing the villain down, "The second you so much as twitch I'll load you with a nice little explosion right here, right now!"
"That's not a very heroic line there, buddy..." Kirishima said with a small laugh.
"But it fits his personality," Izuku added while pulling a finger back and aimed it at Tomura.
"We've been cornered, and what's more, you're all nearly unscathed," The hands' villain said though he sounded not the least bit concerned. "Man, I have to hand it to kids these days... at this rate, the Villain Alliance will be a laughing stock," He said while folding his hands together.
Just then Nomu climbed out of the still open warp-gate, both his right arm and leg falling to pieces from Todoroki's ice attack. Yet despite this, he was still able to move even with such injuries.
"What the fuck?" Izuku couldn't help but say what everyone was thinking, "Wasn't his quick Shock Absorption, how the hell is he still moving!?" He said while pointing his clenched finger at the villain, "This should be impossible, even with a shock absorption quirk he should be knocked out, or bleeding out!"
"I never said that was the full extent of his abilities," Tomura said before something even more shocking happened. Nomu started to regrow his limbs in seconds, "As you can see, he also has a 'Super Regeneration' quirk."
...Two quirks...
...Two goddamn quirks!?
Izuku grits his teeth and started to sweat a bit. Such a thing was considered nearly impossible in the super world. There was such a thing as dual quirks, a quirk that has two different effects but is still considered one quirk. Mutation type quirks also have multiple effects, such as agility, enhanced strength, enhanced senses, but even then they were still considered one quirk. Despite being shocked, Izuku analyzed Nomu and his second quirk.
Super Regeneration/Mutant type: The ability to regenerate from any injuries on the user's body at incredible speeds. Combine that with the Shock Absorption quirk and the two become a deadly combination. Counter to both quirks:...
As Izuku started to think of a plan to take down Nomu until Tomura started to speak again.
"Nomu is a human sandbag artificially created to the height of physical fitness to withstand your 100%"
Before any of the students could react, Nomu started to move, despite his body still regenerating. Izuku forced, despite everything slowing down to a crawl for Izuku the Nomu was still moving at speeds that were hard for him to track. But he was still able to tell where it was heading.
"Bakugo, move!"
A second later the Nomu threw a punch so strong it created a shockwave that nearly blew everyone back.
"Bakugo!" Izuku called out in worry, only to notice something next to him, turning he couldn't hold in his surprise at who he saw standing next to him. "Bakugo!? You dodged him, how?" Izuku then noticed Bakugo wasn't looking smug, but instead was very pale and shaking a little.
"I didn't dodge you fucking moron," He said while taking a shaky breath. "I couldn't see him, at all!"
Turning his head back to Nomu, Izuku saw how Bakugo survived the attack.
At the other end of the Nomu stood All Might with his arms raised, and slightly bruised. All Might had saved Bakugo and took the hit himself.
All Might coughed slightly as he glared at the villains, "Do you show no mercy?" He asked with a slight glare.
"We had no choice. We had to save our ally, didn't we?" Tomura said while pointing to Black-Mist, "And not long ago one of your kids over there... ahhhh, which one...?" He said while looking over the student before pointing right at Izuku, "That one the plain looking with the green hair. He tried to break my shoulder, hear? And from whom do you think he mustered such a touching act of violence while smiling and grinning? Hmmm, 'hero'?" He said while opening arms, "Now listen here, All Might! I'm very ticked off! We're all categorized as either heroes or villains, but at the end of the day, violence is violence. And who gets to decide right and wrong? Society does! The 'Symbol of Peace'? Give me a break! You're nothing more than a bludgeon of oppression yourself! Violence only breeds more violence. And once we kill you, we'll be the most well known to the world!"
At the end of Tomura's speech Izuku only had one thing to say that was on his mind, "You crazy bastard. That's a load of horse shit!"
Everything stopped and everyone turned to the young brawler as he was gapping at the hands villain.
"..Come again?" Tomura asked while tilting his head.
"You," Izuku said while pointing at Tomura. "You're full of shit and are moron," He said with a face so straight it could rival Todoroki and an attitude that shocked his father and even surprised his childhood friend. "You're actually telling me you put us through all this for such a flimsy reason? Of course society decides what's right and wrong, it's how the world works, thousands of years were put into creating this and you want to tear it down just because of a bullshit reason of violence breeds violence. It's villains like you that are always the ones that use violence first, like today for example, you think I woke up today and thought to myself: hey, I want to go kill some giant mindless creatures to pass the time, that sounds like so much fun? I don't know if you were given an education, but this whole mission of yours is very contradictory, I mean you come over here, try to kill my friends and I despite that having nothing to do with your objective and then you have the nerve to blame us? Give me a fucking break you chapped lip dick head."
"..."
"..."
Shigaraki looked at the green haired boy with a bored expression but underneath he was ceeding with rage, "Nomu, kill that brat, and make sure you do it properly this time."
The beast gave a loud screech and charged at Izuku.
"Young Midoriya!" All Might yelled, running desperately in order to protect his student and son, but Nomu had the same speed as him and was already closer to the boy.
The creature had already reached Izuku, and was about to attempt to take his life again, the greenette was actually preparing to dodge out of the way at the last second but a pair of something slammed into the Nomu. As the makeshift pole rolls for a single second until two figures jump away from the Nomu.
The two creatures are clearly dragons, although one is significantly smaller than the other, however the smaller one was clearly Kenshi for he was radiating elemental energy. The other disturbing thing about the two is their similarities; wings, tails, antlers and manes. It was as if their classmate was fighting an older version of himself.
The creatures jump off the Nomu, the larger of the two flips over Kenshi and throws the young dragon towards the landside zone. Kenshi quickly rights himself and lands just as the large Dragon begins to rush him. Kenshi spat an ice blast at the larger dragon hitting it in the face.
"Rrrraaahhhh," the dragon screeches as it halts itself and begins to get the ice off of it's face.
Kenshi then throws a pair of plasma coils at the large dragonoid and pulls himself towards it. As the large dragon finally wipes the melting ice off of its face Kenshi slams into its chest, sending it backwards. However Kenshi grabs its tail and throws it towards the Landslide Zone. Kenshi then ignites his feet and rockets towards the larger dragonoid.
'Huh… I hope Hagakure will be already,' Todoroki thought before pointing out the obvious. "Well villains it's 3 vs. 5."
"It'll be difficult, only All Might can really handle Nomu, we'll have to keep Kurogiri and Tomura busy to give All Might some space," Izuku said as he clenched his fists. "Bakugo, you and Kirishima take on Black-Mist, he's their only way out of here. Todoroki and I will handle Tomura since we work better at long range."
"Fuck of Deku," Bakugo growled as he eyed Kurogiri. "I was already planning on doing that."
"These guys are outrageous, but if we give All Might some support, then we'll send them packing no problem!" Kirishima shouted, getting pumped up for the fight.
"NO!" All Might called while putting his hand up, catching everyone's attention, "Please escape!"
"But if I and Midoriya hadn't come to support you earlier it'd have been bad," Todoroki pointed out while glaring at the villains.
Izuku desperately wanted to point that out to his father was out of time, but he didn't want any of the villains to hear him confirm that All Might was weakening. The young hero blinked as he realized that was why All Might wanted to fight alone. If the Symbol of Peace needed the help of heroes-in-training, then it would only confirm that All Might was weakening.
'Even so... Dad is pushing his time limit right now... I might be able to help him if I interfere, but I still don't know how to take down the Nomu!'
The combination of a Shock Absorption and Super Regeneration quirk was almost perfect. Blunt attacks were useless and any blade attack would heal in seconds.
Izuku then came to a small realization, 'If a physical attack is practically useless, what about mental!'
Izuku didn't know if the Nomu felt any pain, or it was highly resistant to it, but Izuku knows for a fact it could be knocked out. Anything even remotely human could lose consciousness at some point.
As the young archer started to formulate a plan, All Might was already moving, "Right you are, Todoroki my boy! Thanks a ton! But now I'll be okay! All you need to do is watch a Pro show you how it's done!"
Tomura, however, wasn't fazed in the slightest, "Nomu,Kurogiri, do your thing. I'll deal with the kids." He said before crouching low and sprinting forward, "Let's clear the game and return victorious!"
"He's coming! Brace yourselves!" Kirishima called as everyone got into their fighting positions.
But before Tomura could get close All Might suddenly released an intense amount of pressure. It wasn't Killer Intent, it was simply All Might's intense power being felt by everyone. It was enough for Tomura to stop his charge and jump back.
All Might then charged at the Nomu and the two each threw a punch, their fists clashing.
"I told you before..." Tomura said as he landed on his feet, "He has a Shock Absorption quirk."
"I'm Aware!" All Might said, though he didn't stop throwing punches, in fact, the two started to exchange blows, their fists moving so fast they were practically invisible. The force of their attacks creating powerful shockwaves that started to blow stuff away.
"A full-frontal assault!?" Izuku yelled in shock as he crouched low, trying not to be blown away, "If All Might is going for a full assault, that means he's trying to..."
"It's Shock Absorption, not total nullification! It must have a limit, no!?" All Might yelled as the wind started to pick up slowly, almost becoming a tornado, "He was made to withstand my 100%!? In that case, I'll give it more than 100%!"
"Fuck!" Izuku swore as he heard what All Might was planning, 'He's pushing himself past his limit, he won't have anything left after this fight!' Izuku thought as his mind started to work into overdrive, 'All Might will be able to overclock the Nomu's Shock Absorption, but he'll be too drained to fight.' Izuku then took a deep breath trying to calm his heart, "... I guess I have no choice..."
Izuku turns around to see Kenshi and the large dragonoid coming back into view in the the plaza. The dragonoid drives Kenshi into the ground by surfing him. Kenshi turns himself into his elements and slips past.
"Hayabusa!" Izuku yells, grabbing the dragonoids' attention.
Wordlessly Izuku points to the Nomu before pointing to his own head. His classmate nods before kicking the larger dragon away, pulling out a washer, flicking it into air, charging electricity into his arm before barely touching the falling washer. The result is the washer being launched at four times the speed of sound atomizing the air, visibly cutting through and hitting its mark.
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw where the coin hit, right in the side of the Nomu's brain. All Might's eyes widened as he saw the coin sticking out of the Nomu's head, though he felt the Nomu's attacks suddenly lacking.
The Pro-Hero suddenly understood what Izuku and Kenshi had done, "Very clever my boy, young Hayabusa!"
With the Nomu's brain-damaged it couldn't attack properly, even if the Nomu started to heal from the wound it still needed it's brain to process information and work its body, and if it's damaged in any way then it couldn't do anything.
BUZZ*
"AAHH!" The Nomu screamed in pain as his brain was shocked in an instant, it's the whole body freezing up as its eyes started to rapidly lose focus.
All Might saw this and let loose a full-on attack. Each punch created a shockwave through the Nomu's body as it took every single punch.
'Thank you son and you too Hayabusa, for taking some of the weight off,' All Might thought as he continued to bombard the frozen Nomu. "A hero is someone who smashes through every obstacle life puts his way! Even the students here have that very thing in all of them, do you know what I speak of villain!?"
All Might crouched low and started to swing his fist, a Hail Mary punch aimed right for the Nomu's head.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
The punch hit with a devastating shockwave right into the Nomu's face, sending it flying into the ground. The Nomu skidded across USJ, destroying everything in its path from trees, to buildings, to even the ground.
By the time the Nomu came to a stop, it's body was inside a wall with its eyes blank and its teeth smashed to pieces.
"What is this, a comic book?" Kirishima couldn't help but comment at the display of power, "Even if the Nomu was still being shocked, it's like he punched the quirk out of him… the Ultimate Meathead. So that power was bullshit in the end, and he even beat him to a pulp so fast his regeneration couldn't activate in time..."
Everyone else was staring at the scenes in shock and awe.
"So this is the top..." Todaroki thought as he glanced at Izuku being turning to Kenshi, the former was already clenching his fists ready to join the fight while the later was tackled into the Fire Zone, "And that shot he pulled off, it really made the difference."
"This is the world of pros...!" Bakugo thought as he gripped his fist, compared to All Might and the Nomu, he was nothing more than a bystander. The blond then glanced at Deku and he grit his teeth, "Why... why is he always trying to get ahead of me!"
"I really have gotten weaker," All Might said with a chuckle as the smoke started to clear. "Back in my heyday, it'd have taken me five good punches, tops" He said as he stood straight, his clothes ripped and his mouth leaking blood, "Now I throw 300 of those suckers."
"I'm out of time, I already pushed my limit."
"Now then, villains. We both want to put an end to this dance of ours quickly, don't we," All Might said as his body slowly started to steam.
Tomura was twitching as he scratched his neck excessively, his eyes twitching as he glared at All Might, "You used cheats!" He said in a low tone, sounding pissed off, "You've gotten weaker? You lie, we're totally overpowered! How dare you lay a hand on my Nomu... you used cheats!" He nearly shouted as he turned his gaze to Izuku, who didn't flinch a bit, "That brat did something to my Nomu, making him freeze." He said while turning his body to Izuku, "What did you do?" He said while releasing a large amount of Killer Intent.
Izuku tightens his fists and gives the villain a grin as he lowers his fists. "Honestly, it was kind of obvious when you think about it," Izuku said as he started to walk slowly in All Might's direction, his eyes never leaving Tomura. "Quirks are amazing, but even then they have to follow some logic rules. Such as you need a brain for your body to function. Even if your Nomu could heal from any injury it was given, it doesn't mean it could move. It's a body when its brain is getting shocked and because I don't have any electrical based quirk I had to call upon the assistance of another."
For every word Izuku spoke Tomura started to mutter like crazy while scratching his neck. He was clearly having a mental breakdown at the moment.
All Might stood still as he looked at the villains, at the same time he saw Izuku slowly getting closer and closer to him with a big smile on his face, 'Midoriya, you know I'm completely out of time, don't you.'
"What's the matter?" All Might said, his smile never falling, "Where did all of your bravado go!? What happened to clearing the game?" The Pro-Hero then sent the two remaining villains an intense glare, "Try it if you can!"
"UWOOOOOOOOOAH!" Tomura screamed in frustration.
While the conversation continued the heroes-in-training started to make their way out, though they noticed Midoriya was still walking towards All Might.
"What is Deku doing?" Bakugo growled in a low tone, "Does he think his worthless ass can help All Might or something?"
Kirishima gave a small shrug, "Maybe he's trying to get close to All Might to be safe. I mean that hand villain has been giving Midoriya a lot of attention, maybe he feels he's being targeted?"
Todoroki put his hand on his chin, "You have a point. The leader doesn't seem mentally stable, it wouldn't surprise me if he attacked Izuku simply on a whim for interfering with All Might's fight. And if he follows us to the others..."
"Others could get hurt," Kirishima finished with a grim tone. "Then we better leave, and hope All Might can take them out."
As the others started to move, Izuku had something else on his mind, 'This is all a bluff.' He thought with a grin on his face as he kept moving, 'The smoke isn't there for dramatic effect. It's mixing with the dust, but All Might is powering down, he can't push himself anymore.' He thought before taking a deep breath, 'We just need to distract them long enough for the rest of UA heroes to come for backup. Iida's fast, by now he's already reached UA and the heroes are on their way.'
"Well, what are you waiting for!?" All Might yelled, trying to keep up the act he was still strong.
"If only Nomu were here! He'd be able to face him without feeling any pressure!" Tomura complained.
"Shigaraki Tomura... please calm yourself," Black-Mist said while floating next to the young villain. "If you look closely, you can clearly see the damage Nomu succeeded in dealing with him." He said as the two looked at the pro-hero's tattered body.
Izuku tightens his fist as he hears the two talk about still killing All Might. The Symbol of Peace was out of time, only seconds felt. If the villains decided to attack, All Might would stand no chance.
"Do you honestly think it's that easy?" Izuku asked with a raised brow as he finally stood next to All Might while grabbing the two villain's attention. "I mean sure you had a small chance when that Nomu was with you, but without him, how do you plan to counter All Might's strength and speed now? So now you have to ask yourself one question handyman," Izuku said as he readied his body in anticipation of the villains, and with a big grin on his face. "Do you feel lucky? Well, do you handjob?"
Tomura glared at Izuku as he started to scratch his neck like crazy.
All Might felt a slight relief at the villains' hesitation, 'Well done Midoriya, keep having them second-guessing!'
Suddenly Tomura went very still and slumped forward, his head hanging low, "You have been a thorn in my side ever since you jumped out of the water brat." He said before releasing a large amount of killer intent as he gave Izuku a death glare, "I think I won't mind if I just kill you."
With that said both Black-Mist and Tomura charge forward, and Izuku let his air blasts start to fly. At this point, Izuku didn't care whether or not the air blast hit, as long as it did something to stop them. Black-Mist opened a portal in front and had the blast fly in, going into different directions. Izuku pulled his leg back before releasing it into the ground, sending rubble and debris at the villains.
When the rubble went off the two villains were forced to jump out the way but in different directions. This is what Izuku wanted.
Turning to Tomura, Izuku picked up a slab of concrete before throwing it towards him. Tomura raised his hands and as soon as it made contact it started to Decay, but then a second slab hit his head exploding into dust and getting it in his eyes.
"What the? Ah!" Tomura yelled as he began to wipe away the dust but found it was taking a while.
Not missing a beat Izuku turned to Black-Mist who was closing in before firing some more air blast.
Black-Mist tried to open a portal but found the blast instead impacted the ground right in front of him.
"AAAHHH!" Black-Mist screamed in pain as a piece of debri hit his side at high impact.
Izuku then turned back to Tomura to see he was able to free himself from the dust in his eyes, and he looked pissed.
"Enough."
Much faster than before Tomura was on Izuku in a second. The young brawler shifted into a fighting stance and began to aim a punch at the villain's body, at the same time Tomura's hand was closing in on Izuku's chest.
"Shit I can't dodge, hopefully, my suit can hold on long enough for it to withstand his quirk for a few seconds!"
Just as the deadly hand was about to touch Izuku's chest it was suddenly smacked away with a bullet. Izuku used this opportunity to smack Tomura's head up with his fist, he then took a step back with a flip before back kicking the villain in the jaw, making him tumble away.
"So they've finally arrived!" Izuku heard his father say.
Turning to the main entrance Izuku felt complete relief seeing every single hero from UA was standing at the very top of the stairs. In front of the heroes was Iida, who was panting hard.
"I came back with all the people I could scrape together!" Iida called out at the top of his lungs, "Class 1-A Assistant President, Iida Tenya! Reporting for duty!"
Izuku couldn't help but grin and give Iida a big thumbs up, "IIDA!" The brawler called, grabbing the speedster's attention, "YOU'RE MY HERO!" He called, getting a look of pride from his friend.
Tomura pulled himself from the floor as Black-Mist floated next to him, his ears still ringing heavily, "Aaaahhh, They came, they came... it's our Game Over screen." Tomura said in a down tone as he rubbed his jaw, "Back to the drawing board, eh Black-Mist-"
BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*
Tomura was shot in both his legs and his shoulder before Black-Mist covered his body, taking the bullets and sending them somewhere else. Tomura started to fall into the black portal before he noticed the portal was moving.
"Huh!? What's pulling us in!?"
"That would be..." At the very end of the Plaza was a battered but still alive hero, No. 13 being helped by Eraserhead, "My doing!" He shouted as he tried to use Black Hole to destroy the portal.
Aizawa tried to erase the warp quirk with his one good eye, but he could tell instantly that Black-Mist himself was already gone and only the leader villain remained.
The portal started to move towards the space hero, but it wouldn't reach him in time.
"For the time being, we've failed..." Tomura said while looking at All Might and Izuku, "But we'll get you next time, Symbol of Peace All Might!" He then pointed right at Izuku, "And you brat, next time we meet those strange moves of yours won't save you-"
TWACK*
Just as Tomura was about to pull his head into the portal he was hit square in the face with an air blast, throwing his head into the portal.
"Does that guy ever just shut up? I've had enough of these long-winded speeches for at least the next month," Izuku said with an exhausted tone as he fell to his knees. "Today has felt way too long," He said as his entire body felt heavy as fatigue washed over him.
Today was an experience nobody was ready for, what it was like to fight for your lives and others. The Pro-Hero world.
"I hope everyone made it out okay," Izuku said as he sat on the floor.
"I'm sure of it, Izuku."
Izuku glanced back to see his father slowly turn back to his true form, steam rolling off his body in clouds. Yet despite being injured and weakened All Might gave his son a smile.
"You saved me once again, if you hadn't bought us that time and held them off, my head would be rolling right now."
Izuku pulled off his hood and glasses before he gave All Might a smile, "I'm happy you're all right." He said before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Midoriya! Are you alright?!"
Izuku's head whipped to the side to see Kirishima rushing over, "Oh, no..." He said while glancing at his father's weakening from, it would only take a quick glance to see something was wrong, "Kirishima, wai-"
Izuku was cut off as a giant wall appeared between him at Kirishima.
"We want to check all the students for injuries, so everyone gathers in the front gate," A Blocky hero said as he stood up from the ground. "Leave the injured to the care of your senses."
"Yeah, of course! Roger that!" Kirishima said as he ran off to the front gate.
All Might gave a sigh of relief as he sat down on the ground across from Izuku, "Thanks, you really saved my hide, Cementoss."
Cementoss was a scary strong hero with a quirk called Cement. It allowed him to manipulate any concrete he touches like it was clay, making him super strong in the modern world.
"I'm a fan of yours too, All Might. Now let's keep your true form hidden and head towards the infirmary." He said before turning to Izuku and gave him a concerned look, "Are you alright Midoriya, any serious injuries?"
Izuku picked himself off the ground with a small grunt and stretched his arms, "A few bumps and bruises, but nothing too serious."
Cementoss nodded and opened a small hole in the concrete wall, "If that's the case, go to the front gate please with the other students. We'll take care of All Might."
Izuku nodded and turned to All Might with a small smile, "I hope Recovery Girl heals you soon." He said before walking off.
All Might gave a weak laugh as he slouched on the floor, "Recovery Girl is going to be mad."
Cementoss gave a small laugh at the hero's dismay, "Do try not to overdo it so much next time."
All Might gave a small scoff as he whipped his cheek, "If I hadn't gone that far I'd be a dead man." He said in a grim tone, "That's how formidable they were."
Izuku exited USJ's main entrance to see that most of Class 1-A students were present and mostly unharmed. That made Izuku sigh in relief.
As the Archer approached the group he noticed a familiar detective counting the students.
"17... 18..."
"19, Officer," Izuku said as he started to talk down the stairs.
The detective turned around and was surprised to recognize the boy's description, "Ah, yes Midoriya, I'm glad to see you are also accounted for."
Izuku gave a smile with a weak shrug as he looked over at the other students, "Was anyone hurt?" He asked with some concern.
Tsukauchi smiled as he pushed his hat up, "Everyone is accounted for and is relatively unharmed, aside from a few minor injuries." He said while looking Midoriya over, seeing he was covered in dirt and scuffs, "And yourself?"
"Same," He said while waving his arm as he looked through his classmates, seeing they were talking about where they were sent to. "How's Aizawa and 13 conditions?" Izuku asked with some concern, grabbing some of the student's attention.
Tsukauchi gave a small sigh as he pushed his hat up, "It's nothing critical, but they were heavily injured. 13 has several broken bones and very serious lacerations to their back and arms, but they'll easily pull through. As for Aizawa, his arm had several fractured and rotten, he won't be able to use it for a while, he also has a minor concussion and some fractures around his eye, or so I was told." He said while he held his phone. "However thanks to Kawakami-kun their injuries have already started to heal," That causes everyone to look towards Sora and company.
With all of the eyes on her Sora unconsciously freezes but it's Rin who speaks up before Akane could get angry, "Sora reprogrammed some of her Nanites to function as Stem Cells."
Sora recovers from her shock, reaches into her pocket to pull out a small bottle before tossing it to Detective Tsukauchi, "Spray this on whatever injuries All Might has."
"Ribbit..." Tsuyu said in worry as Mineta held his hands together.
Izuku gave a small sigh and rubbed his face, "Well, at least they'll pull through."
Tsukauchi gave a nod and looked to his partner, who was a cat-man, "I have a business to attend to at the infirmary where All Might is being taken to."
"Is All Might well?" Iida asked with a look of worry.
Tsukauchi waved his hand with a small smile, "It's nothing serious, he'll just be looked over by Recovery Girl." He said with a smile before he turned back to his partner, "Sacha! You see to the rest!"
"Affirmative," The cat-man said while saluting.
Tsukauchi nodded before looking to Izuku, "Midoriya, seeing as you were the one to talk to the villains the most, I would like for you to come with me to All Might to give a statement. It would help up build up our investigation if you fill any holes."
Izuku nodded and looked back at his classmates, "I'll see you guys soon!" He said, getting a wave from his friends.
As the two started to walk, Tsukauchi was suddenly stopped by another detective, "Detective Tsukauchi, word came in sir! We apprehended the suspect thought to be the villain that attacked USJ. He was found in the building under a large pile of rubble!"
"What's his condition?"
"No external injuries, sir! He's not showing any signs of resistance either... Moreover, he's unresponsive to stimuli. And he's not uttering a single word..." The cop said, a little unnerved.
Izuku decided to add his two cents by tapping the Detective's shoulder causing him to look at the young hero where he whispers, "Detective according to their leader Shigaraki Tomura that thing was designed by All Might himself himself however it should be noted that it didn't move until it was commanded otherwise it would be unresponsive." He said, making the Detective's eyes widen.
"And how do you know that Midoriya?" Tsukauchi said while tilting his head, his quirk flaring. TRUE
Izuku pointed back to the USJ with his thumb, "Back inside during the fight, I saw that the Nomu never did anything for itself unless Tomura told it to do something." He said before turning to the un-named cop, "I would use extreme caution around it, it went toe-to-toe with All Might, that alone makes it extraordinarily dangerous." He said, making the cop start to sweat at the thought of fighting it, "If things get rough, damage his exposed brain to knock it out, it has a regeneration quirk so any damage you do to it will be gone in seconds."
TRUE. Tsukauchi's quirk flared as he turned to the cop, "Go tell the others what you heard."
"Yes, Detective!" The cop saluted before running off.
"Well let's go Midoriya," Tsukauchi said as they started to walk off.
"Hold On!" They hear the worried voice of Midnight, they turn around to see a distraught face on the R-rated hero. "Where's Ken?" That gets most of the students' attention.
Akane suddenly grabbed Sora's arm, "Sora the Badges."
Sora springs up and says, "You're Right!"
Sora quickly activates her Hero Watch and just as quickly locates Kenshi.
"He's all over the place, altitude is climbing fast!" Sora yells before pointing to the sky.
The class, heroes and policemen look to the top of the USJ dome to see someone bursting out of the glass. A winged figure soars into the sky with a jet of blue flames being emitted from his feet, Nova. Two figures soon follow clearly in a close quarters fight, the smaller of the two gets kicked down however as he falls he throws his hands up and sends small shards of ice towards the larger opponent, Glacius. These shards suspend the larger dragon in the air and while he falls he sends several shards seemingly in random directions creating platforms in the air. A fourth figure suddenly appears on one of the platforms before disappearing and reappearing at another platform and destroying the ice, Raiden. Dashing from the platforms Raiden seemingly slices through the large dragon and falls back down. Nova finally finishes absorbing all of the thermal energy he could from the sun shown in a massive ball of blue fire however it begins to compress into the size of a bowling ball. Nova suddenly rockets down with a sonic boom and hits his opponent with the orb, causing another sonic boom.
"Ken!" Midnight yells before running into the USJ, shocking the male students.
Once inside Nemuri watches as her son's personas charge up their breath weapons.
KZZR
They release their elements against the large dragonoid.
KSHHHH
The dragonoid is pushed back into the very wall that All Might was punched into.
"Rrrraaahhhh," The dragonoid screeches as frost, sparks and flames begin to crawl over him.
However, just as suddenly the emissions stop and as her son's fall to the ground they reform into one. Even from the stairs Nemuri can see the elemental veins on her son are glowing very aggressively.
Kenshi breathes heavily as the large dragonoid begins to break out of the electrified cold fire, "I have to admit kid, you really part a punch, I haven't been hit, that hard in, a few years."
The dragonoid's speech pattern begins to slow as he falls to the ground. Soon after Kenshi passed out as well.
Nemuri began to approach her son; however, just as suddenly as the incident started, another woman appeared on top of the dragonoid. The woman seems like she's made of ice, electricity and fire. The thing is she has the same element order and color scheme as her son.
Nemuri grips her skin suit ready to rip it, "I suggest you surrender, villain."
The figure tilts her head before in a flash of thunder she and the dragonoid are gone.
(Time Skip)
After taking an ambulance Izuku, Tsukauchi and the now unconscious Kenshi arrived at U.A and made a b-line for Recovery Girl and All Might.
Once there they opened the door to see All Might resting on a hospital bed while getting scolded by Recovery Girl.
"Tsukauchi, son!" All Might said with a smile as he pushed himself to sit up.
The two walked into the room while Detective Tsukauchi pushes the wheel that Kenshi in, once inside they take off their headwear, "Sorry to be coming at you so suddenly, but I need your and Midoriya's testimony about the villains especially..."
"Wait, hold on, should we be discussing this in front of Hayabusa-kun?" All Might says with concern.
Izuku chuckles, "That won't be necessary, Midnight-senpai has guaranteed that he is unconscious."
Recovery Girl walks over a quickly checks over Kenshi only to confirm that he is in fact unconscious.
"My, what are these," Recovery Girl points to the fading light of the elemental veins on Kenshi's arms.
"Kenshi-san once said they flare up when he over uses his emissions," Izuku says as he pushes the unconscious Kenshi to an unoccupied bed, picks him up and places him on said bed.
All Might then straightens up, "Now then are all the students okay!?" All Might asked with complete concern, "And Aizaw... Eraserhead and No. 13!?"
Izuku quickly raised his hands, "All the students are alive and accounted for dad. Hayabusa-san was injured and passed out and the teachers are hurt but it's nothing life-threatening." He said, making his father sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness..." He said while laying back down.
Tsukauchi smiled at All Might, "I hadn't realized this was the infamous son you were talking about. Now then as you know, if you three hadn't buckled down and fought so bravely then it probably would have been a very different story for the kids." He said, trying to cheer up his friend.
All Might was quiet for a moment before he spoke, "You got one thing wrong Tsukauchi. The students also fought bravely and gave it their all!" He said before looking at Izuku. "If it wasn't for Izuku and Kenshi I would very much be dead. Not many high school freshmen have faced such terror, yet all of 1-A have faced the perils of the world of the adults! They showed those villains for the idiots they are! And the students of 1-A will make fine heroes!" He said while giving Izuku a thumbs up, making him smile.
Tsukauchi also smiled before he pulled out a pen and notepad, "If you're up for it, I would like for both you and Izuku to give your testimony, unless you wish to reschedule?"
All Might and Izuku exchanged glances before nodding, "Ask away, detective."
Tsukauchi nodded before looking at Izuku, "From what I heard from your classmates, the leader of the villains was giving you a little too much attention, can you explain?"
Izuku nodded and started to go into detail about what happened to him, Tsuyu, and Mineta from the villains' attack all the way to the plaza fight. He then started to explain his encounter with Tomura and the fight they had.
"Honestly I think it was lucky I was able to get out of there unharmed," Izuku said with a sigh as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Why do you say that Midoriya?" Tsukauchi asked while writing everything down.
Izuku thought for a moment the best way to explain, "Shigaraki was fast, way faster than me. Not to mention he was able to go toe-to-toe with Aizawa, and he was able to dodge all my attacks like they were nothing. If it wasn't for the fact he underestimated me and Kenshi's abilities, then I might be more injured." He said in a grim tone as he folded his arms.
"So the leader of the villains can hold his own in a fight, and on top of that has a very dangerous quirk," Tsukauchi said with his eyes narrowed.
That seemed to make a look cross Izuku's face, "Honestly..." He said, grabbing the two's attention, "Something about Shigaraki being the leader feels wrong."
"Why do you say that Izuku?" All Might asked while shifting in his bed.
Izuku was quiet for a moment before he spoke, "To put it bluntly, Shigaraki is someone not mentally stable." He said with a serious look on his face, "For one, those hands all over his body are not for show. Apparently, they are real and most likely victims of his, and the one on his face, I heard him call it 'father'." He said, making a grim look across the two adults' faces, "Not only that, but he kept making game references."
"Game references?" Both adults asked in confusion at the same time.
"Yeah, like classes, end-screen, game over, the final boss. Things like that," Izuku listed the things he heard from the top of his head.
That made a worried look across the hero and detective, "If he disconnected himself from reality, and sees this all as nothing more than a game, then that makes him very dangerous. He'll kill anyone who gets in his way as if they were NPCs." Tsukauchi said as he wrote in his notepad.
"There's more," Izuku said, making the detective look at him. "Another thing I noticed is the way he reacted to stuff. Whenever something didn't go his way, it felt like... well." Izuku tried to find the right word to explain what he was thinking before he shrugged, "It felt like he threw a tantrum."
"A tantrum?" That made Tsukauchi pause in his writing.
"Yeah, scratching his neck excessively, complaining, whining, bragging about something he had, or threatening his own comrades when they did something wrong. Things a child would do."
"Or a Man-Child," All Might offered, making Izuku nod.
"Exactly, a Man-Child! So the question is, how could a mentally unstable Man-Child lead 100 villains to attack UA?" Izuku asked before he shrugged, "The answer: He couldn't. He might be the leader of the attack, and the one calling the shots, but the leader of an organization seems unlikely."
Both adults nodded at Izuku's reasoning. It was sound and they couldn't see many flaws in the theory.
Tsukauchi wrote everything down before looking at Izuku with a smile, "Thank you for speaking Izuku, I believe I have enough to start a profile. Is there anything else you wish to add?"
Izuku was quiet for a moment before he spoke, "The thing that's really been bugging me… is the Nomu itself."
"What seems to be bothering you?"
Izuku gained a slightly disturbed look on his face before he started to speak, "Shigaraki said the Nomu was an artificially created human that was built to counter All Might's strength and speed. Shigaraki also said the Nomu had two quirks, not a dual quirk. To make something like that you need resources, equipment, connections, and... test subjects." He said in a grim tone, making the adults flinch at the thought, "What I'm trying to say is, this 'League of Villains' might be deeper than most people are thinking, and not just some cocky villains looking to make a name for themselves."
The room was dead silent as they processed what Izuku had said, even Tsukauchi had stopped writing. If everything the young teen had said was true.
Then this was not the last of the League of Villains.
What could they be planning now?
3rd(POV)
Shigaraki fell flat on his back with a loud thud on a wooden floor and counter, a dead hand falling next to him.
The darkroom was dead silent as Shigaraki laid there on the floor, completely unmoving.
"Shigaraki...?" Black-mist said in a cautious tone, a good safe distance away.
The young villain slowly raised from the ground until he was sitting up and began to scratch at his neck excessively.
"Brawler..."
Inside a dark room a strange couple lives however only one of is uninjured and tending to her husband.
"I can't believe you," she begins to scold. "You just had to challenge your own son when you knew damn well we weren't supposed to attack."
He began to apologize, "I know we were supposed to round them up at the end." He then tried to defend his actions, "It's just I got too excited."
"Understatement of the century," she sighs as she finishes wrapping his torso. "Three fractured ribs and a leg, your wing right membrane and mane are slightly shinsed, along with a dislocated shoulder and a spread ankle is evidence to that. Seriously Zenjin the fact you only went Lesser Dragon on our son is excusable but I'm glad you didn't go Full Draconic on him."
She turns away from her husband as she places the wrappings in a cabet.
The now named Zenjin grumbles as he puts his hands down and as he begins to fiddle with something in his hand, "I very nearly had to on multiple occasions, Sakura."
Sakura turns to her husband with a smile, "Considering the fact your priced antler snapped when we got here that would be a testament."
Zenjin chuckles at he holds up the broken antler, "Speaking of which, could you cut off the other one?"
A blue light emits throughout the room along with the sound of crackling electricity, before the antler is sliced off in one movement.
"So," Sakura begins. "Should we head to headquarters in the morning?"
"Kkrrruuuu," a purring sound emanates from Zenjin's throat before he say, "That sounds like a plan." He stands and walks to the window, "Tomorrow we will also reunite with the other members of the Oda Clan."
