A loud ringing made Izuku jolt up and wake up from his sleep. He blinked his eyes multiple times and looked around. Then to the thing that produced the ringing sound. It was his phone.

Izuku reached for it and accepted the call as he rubbed his eyes, forgetting to check who it was.

"Who is it?"

" Izuku! Great. You're awake."

"Tenko? Good morning- er, evening. What made you call?" Izuku asked then he yawned.

"Izuku, I'm sorry to ask you this but can you meet someone for me today? They're sending me something and I need you to get it." Tenko explained.

"Whaaat? I can't. We're going to have special classes today and I can't miss it." Izuku told his brother.

"Come on, Izuku, this is really important." Tenko asked.

"Can't you send any of our servants to get it instead? I just can't miss this class." Izuku stood his ground.

"I would if I could. But this task can only be done by you. So would you do it? Pleeeease, Izuku?" Tenko continued to try and convince his younger brother.

"Ugh. Fine, I'll do it. In exchange, you come visit home within the month, ha!"

"Wha- fine. If that's what it takes! I'll try to find time. I'll text you the place. Bye, Izuku." Then Tenko hung up. Izuku let out a sigh.

"There's no way I'm missing this class." Izuku huffed. After taking his school uniform out of his closet, he headed off to take a shower.


Izuku walked out to the car, where the chauffeur, Adohira-san was already waiting. The light blue-skinned chauffeur was confused by his Master's clothes.

"Master Izuku, you're wearing your school uniform? Master Tenko told me that you're not going to school today. I thought that-"

"Adohira-san, can you- please don't tell my brother that I'm going to school. Can you go get his package for me instead?" Izuku asked the chauffeur, who was taken aback by the request.

"Master Izuku, your brother already asked me to accompany you. He's expecting you ther-"

"Yes, yes, I know. But we have a special class today and I reeeally don't want to miss it. Tenko wouldn't know that I didn't go if no one told, right?" Izuku winked at the chauffeur. Adohira tried to convince his young master to do otherwise, but he eventually gave and drove Izuku to UA.

He watched as the green-haired boy ran while waving back at him. He gave a slight smile and a weak wave back, then he drove the car away for a few minutes, only to pull over so he could send a message.

Adohira knew what he'd done and he knew this wouldn't end well if his Master's eldest didn't learn of it sooner. He rang Tenko's phone multiple times but no one was answering.

The phone was left on a coffee table in the empty bar.

After multiple attempts, Adohira simply sent a message, "Master Izuku insisted on going to school. I couldn't stop him. - Adohira"

Once it said Sent, Adohira drove off.


Izuku took a deep breath and exhaled. He really hopes that Adohira doesn't tell on him. But even if he did, Tenko would understand, right?

Wait. What if he doesn't? Izuku started to mutter which caught the attention of half of the bus.

"Izuku." Shouto placed a hand on his classmate's shoulder, which snapped Izuku out of his mutterfest.

"Oh! I'm sorry. Was I bothering you guys?" Izuku asked his classmates.

"No, not really." Momo answered.

"Is something wrong?" Ochaco asked. Izuku hesitated to answer at first, but he eventually decided to tell.

"It's... my brother asked me, specifically, to run an errand for him this morning but I gave the task to someone else so I can go to school today. I'm worried that if he finds out, he might feel bad. He's been ignoring my texts and calls for a few days now, and just called earlier morning to give me that errand. I'm afraid I may have done something to upset him." Izuku explained.

"Do you have an idea why he would be upset with you?" Tenya asked. Izuku looked at him in confusion.

"When my brother and I have a misunderstanding, we usually just talk it out. Maybe, if you know what made him upset, you could talk it out with him next time you get a call?" Tenya explained. Izuku nodded like he was still thinking about it.

"I think I get it. But I don't know what the problem is. He just started to ignore me after the breach. You know, when I got injured?" Izuku told them.

"Maybe he just feels bad that he wasn't there to be the big brother?"

Everyone looked at Shouto in confusion.

"I mean if I had a younger sibling who got hurt and I couldn't be there to take care of them, I would feel bad and think that it's a fault of mine." Shouto elaborated.

Izuku's face brightened, as if he got his answer. "Yeah, I remember him saying sorry when he called, maybe that's it. Thank you, Shouto. I'll try to talk to him about it."

Then the bus stopped. They're here. One by one, the students got off the bus. Izuku brought the hood of his costume up and then clicked the mouthpiece in place, then he followed the others out.

Outside, they were met by the Space Hero, Thirteen, who led the class inside. Curiously, All Might, who was supposed to be with them was nowhere to be seen. Izuku had overheard the two teachers talking about how he got sidetracked on the way back to UA- which Izuku understood. All Might is a hero after all. But he was slightly disappointed since All Might was the reason why he really wanted to attend this class.

They entered the facility and from the level they were, they could see almost the whole facility, from the Conflagration and Mountain Zones at the back, to the Ruins Zone just left of them. That whole time, Thirteen was explaining to the students the importance and principles of rescue training, and everyone was listening keenly to their teacher.

Then in the corner of Izuku's eyes, he noticed some displacement of space at the plaza that immediately caught his attention. Aizawa-sensei seemed to have noticed it too and was already looking at the direction.

Before long, the rest of the class has noticed now, and their attention was now on the black fog that had appeared. Is-is this part of the class?

From the black fog, out came a man with messy light blue hair and hands covering his body and face. Then the black fog became bigger- then villains! Villains appeared!

"Wait, is this a part of the class?" The yellow-haired boy with the Quirk Electrification asked.

"No." The students' attentions was on Aizawa-sensei who was holding his capture scarf which was responding and tensing. After putting his goggles over his eyes, he told Thirteen, "I'll hold them off, take care of the kids!"

"Aizawa, you can't handle them all!" Thirteen yelled to her coworker but it was too late, Aizawa had already begun fighting the villains.

"We need to leave." Thirteen told the students and they all headed towards the Entrance but stopped in their tracks after the black fog appeared.

"Curious. The schedule we acquired said that All Might would be here, where is he?" The black fog spoke. The entire class tensed.

Thirteen pointed her hands to the black fog, her gloves opened up and started to suck up the black fog.

"Tenya, while he's occupied, go get the other teachers! My calls won't go out. We have no contact!" Thirteen told her student with urgency.

"But I can't just leave my classmates!" Tenya protested.

"Tenya, you're the fastest one in your class! I need you to get reinforcements-"

The students' eyes widened when more black fog appeared behind their teacher, and her suit and herself were suddenly sucked into the fog like how her Quirk functioned. She was too late to realize that the fog had redirected her own attack towards her, and she fainted. Someone from their class screamed at the sight, and they were all shocked.

"You didn't think that I could open a portal behind you?" The black fog was smug, his eyes squinting like he was grinning.

Izuku gritted his teeth. Without thinking, he activated a few strength Quirks in his arm and jumped to the black fog. He cocked his arm back and punched.

"I don't think so." The black fog said and Izuku was suddenly surrounded by black, then he heard his classmates scream.

But before he could do anything, he was falling. He immediately did a maneuver and landed fine. He looked around and saw that he was at the Landslide Area of USJ. He looked around and saw none of his classmates but a number of villains.

He separated us. Izuku realized, then he took a fighting stance.


Shota had already taken down a generous number of villains. These are all small fries- low ranked villains. Shota then looked at the two villains that haven't attacked yet. They have been standing there, watching. The guy with the hands said something earlier about killing All Might, is that their true intention?

But how? If their plan was to throw these small fries at him, then it's a stupid plan. They don't even stand a chance against him. What makes them think they can defeat the no. 1 hero? Shota looked at the muscular black bird. Now that thing is a mystery.

The alarms and communications aren't working so someone is most definitely jamming them. Shota heard screams from the Entrance earlier when the fog villain disappeared, and he felt his stomach flip. Still, Thirteen is with his students, he can put his faith in her.

Shota grunted as he threw the last of the low rank villains to the side. He was panting. He's not used to fighting in the front lines.

"They're not actually the ones who'll kill All Might, if you were wondering."

Shota placed his attention on the speaker. The man with the hands all over his body. He was standing in a laid back position. His hands were tucked inside the pocket of his pants and he was staring off to the distance.

"Eraser Head, the Erasure Hero." The man's voice was coarse. "Tell me, where is All Might? He has done something wrong and he has to die for it."

Shota frowned.

"Why don't you tell me how you plan on killing him first?" Shota demanded the villain. The man chuckled then he charged towards the hero. Shota advanced as well, activating his Quirk.

Shota sent his capture scarf to the villain, which the latter caught. The villain pulled Shota nearer, a tug Shota didn't counter.

Using the momentum from the villain's pull, Shota shot a punch, but the villain was able to catch his hand. The villain glared at Shota, then he suddenly began a countdown, "In 3, 2, 1..."

Shota blinked, thereby deactivating his Quirk.

"You have an interesting fighting style, Eraser Head, did you know that?" The villain suddenly stated, catching Shota off-guard.

Shota looked at his fist that the villain was still holding. His hand felt cold for a moment but then it was suddenly followed by a burning sensation- his hand was slowly disintegrating!

Shota tried to retrieve his hand but the villain's grip was strong. The man was stronger than he looked.

Suddenly, a loud clap was heard from the direction of the Landslide Zone.

The villain looked at the direction of the sound, almost shocked. Shota took the chance and kicked the man away, then he took a few steps back. So he's the one responsible for the breach a few days ago. Shota rightfully deduced.

"No... that clap..." The villain said under his mask.

Then the black fog suddenly appeared behind the decaying villain. The man, who still seemed to be a little shaken by the sound they heard earlier, looked to the fog and asked, "K-Kurogiri, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be preventing the students from escaping?"

"I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki, but I regret to inform you that a student has escaped. Reinforcements should be arriving in a few minutes." The fog reported.

That visibly irritated the man named Shigaraki, and he started to aggressively scratch his neck.

"...no. No. No! NO! WE WERE THIS CLOSE TO KILLING ALL MIGHT! I'M NOT LEAVING!" Shigaraki yelled.

But then he stopped when two students caught his attention. Shigaraki laughed.

"It's okay... we may have failed in killing him today, but maybe we can damage the pillar. Just a slight crack will do." Shigaraki said grimly.

Shouta looked at the direction where the villain was looking at. His eyes widened as he realized what the villain was talking about. He saw two of his students, Uraraka and Asui.

"No-"

"Nomu."

Before Shouta could even leave his spot, he was shoved down to the ground. He heard a few of his bones crack. He looked up to see the black muscular villain standing on top of him.

He activated his Quirk but was simply punched in the face by the villain.

"That is Nomu, an artificial human made specifically to kill All Might." Shouta heard Shigaraki talk.

"Now, if you wouldn't mind, I'm off to damage a pillar."


Just a few moments ago...

Asui and Uraraka just defeated their villains and are off to the Central Plaza. And Aizawa -sensei has just about finished the other villains. This Echolocation Quirk really is useful.

Izuku looked around and checked that very villain in the area was unconscious. His job there was done. After activating Muscle Augmentation on his legs, he jumped over the wall surrounding the Landslide Zone.

I should regroup with Asui and U raraka then we can all go to Aizawa -sensei .

Izuku ran towards the Flood Zone. It took him a while to get there but he eventually saw his two classmates, just along the shore.

He raised his hand to wave to his classmates when his eyes widened from what he saw.

The villain with hands covering his whole body was right in front of a terrified Uraraka, reaching his hand out to her.

In a surge of emotions, Izuku activated a number of strength Quirks on his arm, making it twist and swell, then he charged towards the villain.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Izuku yelled as he shot a punch to the villain. The shock wave was enough to disturb the dirt around them. He felt a hit. He heard his two female classmates leave their spots.

As the dirt receded, he saw that his fist was against a different black body. He looked up and saw the villain with a beak. He winced. It didn't even affect him?!

The black villain grabbed his arm and squeezed it. Izuku cried a silent whimper as the villain started to tighten its grip. Izuku didn't dare release Muscle Augmentation on his arm, as it was the only thing protecting his arm from the creature's strong grip.

"Nomu, may I see him?"

Izuku winced as 'Nomu' lifted him up with his arm and made him face the person who spoke.

"You..." The man spoke with a coarse voice.

"You're not supposed to be here." Izuku could hear the frustration in the man's words.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU SHOULDN'T BE MESSING WITH US! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!" The man went off. Izuku could see the villain's eyes from behind his hand mask and they were absolutely fuming with anger. Izuku bit his lips to stop his tears. He shouldn't cry! Not in front of a villain!

"Izu-kun! He can disintegrate anything using his Quirk!" Uraraka's words made Izuku tense and fear took over him. His eyes widened and he squirmed, trying to get his arm free from the Nomu.

The villain reached his hand out to Izuku. Izuku panicked and activated Quirks in his other arm that was free, then threw a punch at the villain with light blue hair. But his hand was caught again by Nomu, making Izuku whimper. I'm going to die.

Izuku closed his eyes in fear, then suddenly-

"DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM HERE!"

Izuku immediately opened his eyes, and looked up to find All Might. He felt relief and his eyes watered at the sight of All Might.

Tomura looked at the boy who he could tell was crying inside his mask.

"Nomu, throw the kid away. We don't need him anymore." The villain said in a bored, but slightly relieved tone. Izuku's eyes widened as the artificial human obliged and threw him up to the air.

All Might moved quickly and caught the boy, afterwards, he took his coworker and brought the two to Asui and Uraraka.

"The three of you take Aizawa-san to the others at the Entrance." All Might told them. His three students nodded, then they left.

Toshinori placed his attention to the three villains in front of them. Toshinori gritted his teeth. He shouldn't have wasted his time. If he hadn't, he could've been here protecting his students and coworkers. Toshinori grimaced underneath his huge smile.

Young Izuku could have died! I was an idiot.

"I heard you want to kill me?" Toshinori entertained the villains.

Then the villain with the hand mask answered, "You have sinned against us and now, you're going to pay for it by dying."

"This is Nomu." The masked villain referred to the black villain with the exposed brain. "He was made specifically for the purpose of killing you in your prime."

Toshinori winced at the last word, but he tried to hide it.

"We know that you've been weakened, All Might." The villain smugly stated.

"Now, shall we begin?"


"Izuku! Ochaco!" Someone called out to them. The group stopped to find Shouto running towards them.

"Shouto, are you okay?" Izuku asked his classmate when he got nearer.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You?" Shouto asked him. Izuku winced at his question and averted gazes. He rubbed his arms and sheepishly responded, "Y-yeah. I'm- we're fine."

"I heard All Might earlier. Where is he?" Shouto asked.

"He's back there fighting the villains." Ochaco answered.

"Are you sure he'll be fine?" Shouto voiced his concerns as he looked back.

"He's All Might. He can handle them, kero." Asui told them. "We need to take care of Aizawa-sensei first."

Once they reached the top of the stairs, they found their classmates who were left there after the initial separation earlier. A few of them were trying to patch up Thirteen who was down and possibly in a critical state. Ochaco, Asui, and Izuku laid their class adviser down.

Izuku furrowed his brows at the state of their teacher. There were no longer any skin on his hand, you can see the tendons, and at worse parts, the bone in his fingers.

Izuku gritted his teeth. Their two teachers risked their lives to save them, he hopes they'll survive.

Then he suddenly shook his head. No. He can't just stand there, he needs to do something! He looked over to the direction of Thirteen and his classmates. Earlier, he noticed that they were using a first aid kit to patch her up. As expected, the USJ's supposed to be a disaster rescue training facility, there's bound to be a first aid kit nearby.

He went over to ask where they got the first aid kit, afterwards, he headed to the place where it's kept. It would be easier to use one of his Quirks, but he can't, not at that moment.

As he was making his way to the first aid kits, however, he suddenly heard an explosion go off where All Might was battling the villains. He looked over at their direction, but he couldn't see anything from where he was. But he just knows that Bakugo just joined the fight.

Izuku turned his attention back to the task at hand, and after getting the first aid kit, immediately rushed back to patch up Aizawa-sensei. One of the trainings he underwent to prepare for heroics was first aid, so this was easy for him.

Exactly as he was finishing up, his attention was caught by something black that flew away from where All Might was fighting the villains. W-was that-

Suddenly, Izuku heard something through one of his super hearing Quirks. Footsteps, many of them, and they're sprinting towards the gate.

Izuku's eyes widened after he realized that he and his classmates were in the way. He immediately warned his classmates, "EVERYONE, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! THE TEACHERS ARE COMING! YOU MIGHT GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE!"

After his warning, his classmates immediately vacated the middle of the platform, carrying the two unconscious teachers along with them.

Then, as if on cue, the teachers broke in along with Tenya. The students immediately felt a wash of relief.


What happened after the teachers arrived was a blur for Izuku. After all that had happened, his brain needed time to rest.

He remembered the teachers taking care of Aizawa-sensei and Thirteen, gathering the unconscious villains, as well as their other classmates who were still at the other zones. But his brain didn't register much of the details.

He also remembered being questioned by the police. Of course, he told them what he knew and what happened. He overheard that they had already apprehended Nomu, and that one of the leaders, Tomura Shigaraki was shot before they escaped.

Izuku shuddered at the thought of how he could've died. If All Might hadn't arrived then... he wouldn't want to imagine. Recovery Girl had healed the injuries of the students so there were no casualties on their part.

At the moment, the police and teachers were simply waiting for the parents and guardians of the students to get them before they were allowed to leave.

The familiar sound of a certain car pulling over at the gates swiftly caught Izuku's attention. Looks like Adohira-san's here. He thought. He said goodbye to the teachers, and still with a tired mind, he began walking towards the car, not noticing the man with nicely kept light blue hair who just came out of the backseat.

"Izuku?" The person called to him. Izuku immediately recognized the person's voice and he raised his head to see that it was who he thought it was. His eyes started to tear up at the sight of the person.

"Tenko!" Izuku ran towards his older brother then he hugged him. He couldn't help himself and ended up crying on the black sweater his brother wore. He doesn't care if his classmates and teachers were still behind him, he almost died and he just wanted to let it all out.

He felt his brother's hand gently rubbing his hair.

"It's okay now, Izuku. I'm here." His brother's voice was calming.

Izuku pulled back then he asked while wiping his tears with his hands, "Y-you're here? I thought you were working?" His brother chuckled and helped Izuku wipe off his tears.

"I was the person you were supposed to meet today! I planned an entire day out for us. I felt bad for being absent when you were hurt so I rushed all my work these past few days so I can stay home with you for a few weeks." Tenko explained.

Izuku's eyes beamed, "Really?"

Tenko smiled and messed his little brother's hair, "Of course!"

"You're Izuku's older brother, I assume?" Someone interjected. The brothers both looked at Hizashi-sensei (Present Mic) who walked towards them. Tenko's bright smile turned to a scowl, then he glared at the blond man.

"You're a school for heroics, aren't you? You're responsible for these children and yet you allowed villains to not only infiltrate your school but hurt your students?! What was the staff doing? You're all pro heroes, aren't you? Two teachers were critically injured and my brother almost died!" Tenko snapped at the man which caught the attention of the rest of the people there.

"Midoriya-san, understand that we did everything we could do. We didn't foresee all of this. How the villains were able to bypass security is still under investigation." Hizashi-sensei tried to calm the man in front of him down.

"Or is this because of All Might?"

The young man's words made the teachers tense.

"Hey, Tenko..." Izuku tried to stop his brother, but Tenko wouldn't back down.

"No. You were hurt before because the press wanted an exclusive on All Might. Years and no villain dared to attack UA but the year All Might suddenly decides to teach, a villain attacks? Who decided it was a good idea for All Might to teach anyway? Can he even teach?"

The teachers were left silent.

"We're going home, Izuku." Tenko told him. As he took one step, his leg weakened and he almost fell.

"Tenko!" Izuku helped his brother up.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. Just an accident at work." Tenko stood straight and got in the car.

Izuku looked at the teachers and bowed, "I'm really sorry about my brother." He got in the car and they drove off.


A/N: Not gonna lie, the USJ Incident is one of my least favorite arcs to write.
