"I'm off to see an old friend!" Izumi called with a small grin, before disappearing from Itsuka's sight towards Aizawa and the villains. The red head sighed, dropping Tokoyami and Koda from her grasp. 'safe sis. You better show them why you're the best vigilante Japan has to offer!'

"Alright you two, you heard her! Get to the exit, I'll be with you in no time!" The 1-B student said to the two boys, watching them turn to leave before she turned to the shipwreck zone.

She took a deep breath and cracked her physical knuckles, her orange energy limbs doing the same just without any sound. The redhead began running forward towards the massive lake, somewhat unnerved by how many thugs the villains had managed to recruit into this mission.

Still, she had no time to focus on that. With no hesitation, she jumped high into the air, clasped all four of her hands together and came down fast, smashing her fists into the ground at the edge of the lake and sent a massive shockwave forward.

It turned into a wave, quickly beginning to swallow up the thugs as it rapidly made its way to the massive yacht. It would hopefully be a suitable enough distraction for her, as she bolted forward and felt her feet go from running on solid ground to running on the surface of the water. Itsuka let out a sigh of relief. 'Oh thank god i'm fast enough for this. Would have been embarrassing if I had just fallen in.'

She was able to completely bypass all the criminals that might have otherwise caused her issues before as they got caught up in the massive wave she was rapidly gaining on as she pushed herself as far as she could.

She remembered the backlash from one hundred percent, and was not eager to repeat it even slightly if she could help it. One or two villains with more versatile quirks managed to escape the wave, trying to attack the fiery orange blur tearing across the lake.

One villain tried to use the water, manipulating it to try to attack her. Another villain, one with shark like mutations tried to jump out the water and chomp at her.

Itsuka ran straight at the shark without concern, her energy fists grabbing the top and bottom of the villain's jaw as she jumped and spun around, throwing the criminal straight into the water manipulating villain. 'Have to pick up the pace before the wave hits the ship!'

"SOMEONE STOP THAT BLUR!"

The One For All wielder spotted a third villain straight ahead who was a normal brown haired man with a scar over his eye. His body began to glow slightly however and the redhead felt the water beneath her starting to sink as he rose up as if absorbing it.

Then he opened both his eyes and threw both hands towards her as he let out a loud cry. "EXPEL!"

Suddenly a massive torrent of water burst forth from his hands at speed, gunning straight for Itsuka. If it hit her dead on it would stop her dead in her tracks but it was too late for her to change course.

Thinking fast she gritted her teeth and threw all her hands forward into thunderous claps.

"QUAD CLAP COUNTER!"

Massive shockwaves ripped forth, causing the entire stream of water to disperse and sending the thug flying backwards as a massive hole ripped open in the wave Itsuka had made.

Wasting no time, the 1-B student pushed herself as much as possible, flying through the hole before it closed and leaping onto the ship, rapidly appearing on the deck where Asui had clearly been trying to get a distraught Mineta to stop freaking out.

"AND WE'RE GONNA DIE AND- AH! ORANGE VILLAIN RIGHT THERE!" The short teen screamed in fear, trying to scramble back.

"It's me! Kendou! Not a villain!" Itsuka quickly assured, very briefly stopping as she saw the wave still incoming. 'Crap! Uh… Oh this is gonna hurt bad. Twenty-five percent!'

She turned to it quickly, crossing all four of her arms over each other into two big X's, which she then threw down with as much force as possible. A massive gust of wind tore forward, generated from the speed and size of her limbs powerful enough to rip straight through the wave, causing it to dissipate entirely. Only a few negligible droplets of water landed on the ship.

"Argh!" Itsuka cried, taking a deep breath as she felt sharp pains run through her arms from pushing herself over her limit. It wasn't enough to break her bones but it still hurt like hell, causing her to ache. She'd have to have Recovery Girl check for internal bruising later. Before the other two could worry, she quickly moved to reassure them. "I'm… fine."

"Nice moves, Kendou. Ribbit." Asui croaked, impressed, putting a finger to her chin. "What's going on though? Why are you here?"

"Izumi- Ah… sent me. She spotted you needed some help out here and saw Aizawa needed some help as well against the main villains, so decided we should split up." The class president of 1-B explained as she felt the pain begin to dull. She looked over the edge to see the villains recovering and preparing to attack. "And I think that's our cue to leave. Grab on!"

Neither of the other students had to be told twice, jumping into her two physically enlarged fists. The villains began to try to strike them, solidified arrows of water striking next to the trio on the ship. The One For All wielder began running around the massive yacht, ducking and weaving around water projectiles while jumping up onto higher ground before she eventually reached the highest point of the ship she could, bending her knees and launching herself high into the air.

"NOW'S OUR CHANCE! SKEWER THE BRATS!" A villain shouted and a barrage of solid water projectiles came at them. Itsuka's eyes widened and she crouched in on herself, pulling Asui and Mineta closer to her to protect them while her energy limbs started trying to throw as many of the projectiles off course by generating wind as possible.

The ones that didn't get stopped so easily were either punched out of the air or grabbed and shattered as the redhead did her best to ward off the assault. As soon as there was a break, as gravity began to take over the girl took a massive wind up. "Get back to land! I'll be right with you!"

With that, she threw the two 1-A students as far as she could. As they sailed through the air, the frog girl's tongue had shot out and wrapped around Mineta, directing them to safety while the One For All wielder turned her attention back to the thugs.

She grinned, an idea coming to mind.

'This one is for you sis! Devastator: Hydro Disruption!' She used another powerful clap to tear straight through the middle of the yacht, the shockwave travelling deep down into the water and opening an area at the bottom of the lake for her to land on safely. Many of the thugs were caught up in the waves that travelled out from the center of where her attack impacted, being swept away.

The water was rapidly starting to fill back on but she smiled, needing only a second for this to work.

Her energy limbs twisted around in a way normal limbs would never be able to and she smashed all four fists into the ground as far apart from each other as possible and coursing with as much power as she could manage.

The water all around her exploded high into the sky, many of the thugs being caught up within and all being either knocked out from falling out onto the ground or colliding into each other in the air. Some even where simply rendered unconscious from the pressure.

Wasting no time, Itsuka shot forward as fast as she could, making her way around much faster now she had a solid ground to run on. She quickly grabbed any fallen thugs before they'd be submerged as she would rather not be responsible for them drowning.

She threw them all to land before joining them herself at the last moment, jumping over the water starting to pour back in onto the dry mass of safety. She allowed herself a moment to breathe and smile in excitement, a rush coursing through her. 'Hah! I actually pulled that off, that was awesome!'

She looked up and just as quick as it had appeared, her smile faded as she saw Izumi being slapped by the muscular bird-like monster villain she saw earlier, hard enough that she was sent flying through the air, crashing through a tree.

'No!'

Before the redhead had time to think about what she was doing, to remember her sister was capable of surviving insane levels of abuse and regenerating when she didn't withstand an assault, her instincts took over.

All she saw was someone who had hurt her sister who was going to pay for it. She came in at speed, smashing two fists right into the side of the massive creature, who simply stopped.

"Another brat?!" One of the villains, the one covered head to toe in hands asked, exasperated as he disintegrated Aizawa's capture scarf, the scruffy pro trying to fight him. "Nomu, kill her!"

"KENDOU! RUN!" Aizawa called out as he jumped back, being put on the defensive by the villain he was fighting. "THAT'S THEIR WEAPON AGAINST ALL MIGHT!"

Itsuka's eyes widened as Nomu then went for a strike she very barely jumped out the way of. 'Holy crap he's fast!'

It went for another strike she dodged by a hair's width, eyes going wide. 'No way I can run without this thing catching me if it's as fast on its feet as it is at attacking.'

"Take this!" she threw both her energy fists into the creature's stomach with as powerful a strike she could manage with each hand, blanching when the monster didn't even flinch. It just let out a horrific screech and moved to attack again.

Kendou tried to hold its hand off with her energy fists but it grabbed hold of those tight and before the redhead even knew what was happening they were crushed and shattered as she jumped back. 'Holy shit. Yeah okay, normal attacks aren't going to do anything if he's meant to take on All Might. Gotta go all out!'

Her energy limbs faded back into existence as she launched herself back towards the beast, throwing all four fists forward.

At the same moment, the entrance of the USJ suddenly burst open, and smoke rose into the air. In the same moment, Izumi saw what was about to happen as the thugs all around the USJ were dispatched of by All Might.

"SIS NO!"

"FOUR HUNDRED PERCENT STRIKE- AH!"

Nomu took a sudden, painful grasp of both of her physical hands while her energy hands struck true but did zero damage, not even making the monster flinch. Her eyes widened.

All Might arrived, making it just to Izumi's side and trying to run for the redhead, but it was too late.

A sickening crunch was heard as Nomu crushed the girl's hands.

"ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH-"

"YOUNG KENDOU!"

"SIS!"

Earlier

"Besides, I see one All Might level threat here already." Izumi called to Aizawa, briefly glancing at Srijan before she turned her full attention onto Nomu. 'And that's a challenge I'm never gonna turn down!'

"You've got some foolish brats in your class, Eraserhead. Nomu, kill her!" The villain covered head to toe in hands commanded with a dark chuckle. Izumi grinned as the monster rushed in at speeds few could manage.

"He's a fast one." The shapeshifter observed, before lazily lifting her arm as Nomu came in for a strike. A massive shockwave ripped into the ground from the impact, wind kicking up and forcing the villains and Aizawa to retreat a few paces. The green haired girl yawned, unfazed. "Well, that was disappointing."

"W-What…" The hand villain muttered in shock. "Lucky. End her Nomu- Hey! Get this stupid scarf off me!"

Izumi casually glanced back to see Aizawa had begun fighting him, while the warp villain and Srijan stayed back, presumably under orders not to interfere. 'Weird seeing Srijan actually listen to what he's being told to do. Wonder how they managed to do that.'

Turning back, she realized she hadn't even noticed Nomu had taken a hold of her arm. "Ah. What you needing that for, big guy?"

Nomu ripped it clean out its socket, throwing it away. Izumi smirked as blood spurted out the hole where her arm should have been. "Well, that's more like it! Gonna need that back though."

A tendril shot out of her arm, grabbing the torn off arm and absorbing it, her arm regenerating. She stretched it, breaking it in as she turned to Nomu. "Alright then. So where were we? Oh yeah, killing me! Try it!"

The bird like monster let out a horrible screech as it came at her. She took a casual step out of the way as it tried to punch her head off her neck, causing it to miss entirely.

She then ran forward, leaping onto the villains back and sticking there, crawling to on top of its head. "Your quirk exposed your most vital organ? Man that sucks. Massive weak spot."

It threw two fists up at her and she dodged them gracefully, front flipping in front of the monster and turning to it, meeting its dead beady eyes. "Tell you what, I'll be nice, won't aim even a single attack there."

It let out a roar, smashing its fists into the ground. Izumi hopped into the air, twisting her entire body upside down and delivering a kick to the villain's jaw.

Her foot suddenly stopped dead and the monster tried to smack her away, her danger sense kicking in at the last moment and letting her know to jump off, landing on her feet. "Wow, you're a durable one huh? Usually a kick like that knocks most villains lights out for the rest of the day."

"Hah! You think a beginner player like yourself is going to be able to damage the final boss with your weakest attacks?!"

"Tomura…" The warp villain spoke up in a slightly warning tone, only to be hushed by the hands villain.

"Quiet Kurogiri. I want this brat to know just how stupid the situation she's gotten herself into is. That creature before you is the ultimate biological flesh soldier. You can't hurt it because one of its quirks is shock absorption." Tomura cackled, scratching at his neck lightly. "It's been designed to take on All Might himself. A pest like you couldn't do anything to it, your little special move earlier being a lucky shot aside. Even if you could hurt it, it's just a flesh puppet. It's dead. Nothing you can do will hurt it."

'…And just like that, I suddenly have no problem going all out if I need to. God I love when villains feel the need to gloat.' Izumi smirked to herself. Nomu tried to punch her again and the girl jumped, landing on Nomu's arm before she flipped over behind the creature. She shot out a tendril from her hand, wrapping it around the monster's wrist and forcibly turning it to face her.

Then she let go and stood still. "Alright then. You've got one free shot. I won't block. I want to know if I got my hopes up for nothing or if you really could take on All Might. I was hoping I'd have an actual challenge on my hands."

"An actual- You brat!" Tomura growled under his breath, making Izumi smirk. Aizawa began sneaking up on the blue haired villain. "Nomu, show her what you're capable of! All of your strength! Make her a puddle of blood for All Might to find!"

The creature bolted forward the fastest it had so far, Izumi being impressed as it almost managed to move fast enough to go beyond her perception, then it was upon her and delivered a powerful backhand that sent her flying backwards across the USJ, towards where the entrance was located.

She fell to the ground, rolling across it before finally stopping, pushing herself up and shaking her head. She chuckled. "Woo! Now that's what I like to feel!"

"Uh… you like being hurt?! Are you insane!?" The sudden voice of Mineta spoke up, perturbed and the girl looked up to see Tsuyu and Mineta standing there. The frog girl gave her a concerned look.

"That looked like it hurt. Ribbit."

"Ah, not really. I mean maybe I felt a little sting but he's gonna have to do a lot more to actually make me feel pain." Izumi brushed it off, standing up and stretching. "And maybe I am insane. It's just nice to have a bit of a thrill for once, it's been ages since I've met anyone who could give me a challenge."

"So you're an adrenaline junkie. Ribbit." The frog girl observed, frowning slightly. "I hope you aren't rushing into fights just for kicks."

"Huh?"

"I don't want to see my friends get hurt for no good reason."

Izumi smiled more softly, walking over and pulling the girl into a side hug. "Don't worry about it, Asui."

"Tsu."

"Huh?"

"I'd prefer it if my friends called me Tsu. Ribbit." The frog girl's face seemed to get ever so slightly more red. She muttered something under her breath the shapeshifter barely picked up on with her enhanced hearing. "Especially my best friend…"

'Aww, best friend? She's adorable.' Izumi smiled, before frowning when she saw the other girl was shaking ever so slightly. It was almost unperceivable, something she only noticed thanks to her enhanced vision, but it was there. 'She's probably more scared than she's letting When we get out of this, maybe I should ask her about going out for a bite or something. Try to get something good out of this whole affair for both of us.'

"Tsu it is." Izumi assured, tightening the hug slightly. Then she realized something. "Wait, where's Itsuka?!"

Before either of them could answer, Izumi looked up and felt horror fill her as she saw her sister trying to take on Nomu.

She bolted forward, trying to get to the redhead before something bad happened. There was a loud boom behind her and she thought she heard the muffled sounds of All Might announcing his arrival.

She couldn't focus on that at the moment however, only able to freak out as she saw her sister moving into the monster's grasp.

"SIS NO!"

It was too late though as Nomu got a hold of the girl's fists, as she tried to cry out for her attack that inevitably failed. All Might was suddenly at the shapeshifters side, running forward with horror on his face mirroring Izumi's.

They saw her already broken hands from her failed attack, then they heard the crunch as Nomu gripped Itsuka's broken hands tight.

Then the screaming came. For the first time in years, Izumi knew what it felt like to be nauseous again.

"YOUNG KENDOU!"

"SIS!"

Before anyone knew what was happening, something snapped inside Izumi.

"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY SISTER!" She bellowed, moving so fast the world seemed to move in slow motion to her as she forcibly tore Nomu's fists open, grabbing Itsuka and carrying her off.

She appeared in the air above Tomura, kicking him back and landing beside Aizawa. "Here! Take her and get her to safety!"

"I- Midoriya I'm the one who-"

"Shut up and just take her!" Izumi snapped, putting the groaning girl into her homeroom teacher's arms. "I don't care what you are right now, All Might is here. I'm sorry but this isn't your fight anymore. She needs you to get her medical attention now!"

"R-Right! Just don't do anything stupid!" Aizawa said, unable to argue with the injured student in his arms, turning and running off. "Leave the big fights to the professionals from now on!"

"Oh I will not." Izumi muttered under her breath, turning to the villains and All Might with a pissed off glare.

"What the- What just happened?!" The hand covered villain asked in shock, before growling. "Nomu! I told you to use your full power on the green haired brat! Take this seriously!"

The monster launched at her, coming in for a final strike. Izumi grabbed it without flinching as her other arm suddenly grew in its mass, coated in something akin to an exoskeleton. "Serious? I'll show you serious."

Then, without restraint, she turned and punched Nomu square in the chest. There was no shockwave and the monster wasn't sent flying. There were none of the usual almost comical theatrics like that.

There WAS a moment of silence however before the villain exploded entirely into blood and viscera, a few simple tendrils shooting out from the shapeshifters arm and catching all of it, absorbing it into her.

That was the day Tomura Shigiraki, Kurogiri and All Might learned a valuable lesson. Izumi Midoriya was an unstoppable force upon the planet earth when she wanted to be, and the villains just fucked with her family. Now the storm had begun.

With the deed done, she turned with a simple glare to the villains. "Hey, Srijan. You want to explain to your buddies what I just did."

"The name's Toxin." The villain growled, forming claws much like Izumi's own as he started stalking forward. "The brat just absorbed Nomu into her. His power is hers now."

"Are you kidding me!?" Tomura asked distressed, scratching at his neck.

"Which is why I asked to come along. I knew you'd be a problem, Izumi." The man started smiling, seemingly unconcerned. "Don't count this as a loss yet my friends."

"Oh you absolutely should." Izumi growled as she started stalking forward. "I'm beating you, here and now Srijan."

"My girl! I understand you're angry but let me-"

"Did. I. Fucking. Stutter?" Izumi snarled, turning to her mentor who looked at her with wide eyes. "You have two villains right there All Might. You can have them."

She turned back to Srijan. "But you. First my mother and now my sister. I dealt with Nomu for the second, now I just need to get you back for the first."

"Well then, why don't we-"

'Toxin' couldn't even finish talking before suddenly, at speeds no one else, not even All Might could keep up with, Izumi appeared behind the man.

"Oh, by the way, you were wrong about your name earlier as well. It's 'Dead Man.'"

With that, she threw the first punch.
