Whatever You Want
Chapter 8: Tsuyu's Last Stand
There she was, cornered by an army that seemed all too powerful for just one person to handle. It was literally an impossible task to complete for anybody. Well, anybody outside of All Might, at least, but he wasn't here right now. Tsuyu, who has performed well in multiple situations before, is now climbing an uphill battle.
"I'm not going down without a fight!" With a ribbit, she jumped into the air, her tongue extending while being above the army of the white, insane looking creatures she had to face. Her tongue would go on to slap twenty of these creatures, smacking them so hard that each one went flying into a nearby building.
The other creatures that avoided the hit released a crazy battle cry, extending their arms as energy would come around them. The energy would soon turn into multiple blasts, firing them at Tsuyu who had to think quickly unless she wanted to get annihilated. They were coming at here like rockets, but she would come up with a plan.
Using her tongue again, she would wrap it to nearby pole to get some separation from the chaos that was happening to her, avoiding the unreal explosions that continued to rain upon the city. At maximum, though, she would only get about 0.3 seconds to catch her breath, because the blasts kept on coming for her. Luckily, she was agile and quick enough to repeatedly dodge these attacks, but how long she's truly able to keep this up remains unclear.
Over time, the constant dodging and jumping was starting to make her tired. That's when these creatures would start close in on the frog girl, now engaging in hand to hand combat. Fighting hand to hand wasn't one of Tsuyu's specialties, but it needed to become one for her to have any chance of survival. She would send a punch to the jaw at one creature, while turning around to do a spinning kick to another. Opening her mouth, her tongue grabbed one of the creatures and started to swing it around like a rodeo. Bringing it lower to the ground, she used the body as weapon to slam every creature that was coming at her, the yells of pain being able to heard from every corner.
One by one, each creature was starting to go down, and each passing second provided more hope. This girl, somehow, someway, was taking down an army by herself by being strategic and letting her adrenaline do the rest.
Though, everything would change when she felt something go through her left leg. She cried out in pain, falling to the ground and was now wondering who caught her off guard. When she looked up, she could see the particles of a purple beam disappear, but she could tell it was small. In fact, it was the smallest beam she's seen all day, but this pain was unlike anything she's ever felt before. Then, she started to hear footsteps.
Walking towards Tsuyu was a male human who kept his index finger raised, signaling that he only fired the beam from that. He blew on his finger like he just fired a pistol that was now smoking after shooting a bullet, knowing that his precise beam had connected. Tsuyu tried to get up and fight, but the pain was too much to overcome at this moment.
When she was able to get a better look at the man who struck her leg, he looked like any other average joe on the street. Short, straight hair, glasses, average build, all of this was confusing.
"Well, if it isn't Tsuyu."
This caught the frog girl's attention.
"Do I know you?"
"No, but we know you."
The man would grab Tsuyu by the throat, making the girl struggle as he was choking her.
"Now, where to start… Ah, yes. Where is Izuku Midoriya?"
"M-Midoriya…?" She was struggling to reply, but then she got punched hard in the gut, as she spit out some blood. The man then slammed her to the ground, still having his strong grip so he wouldn't escape.
"Yes, him."
"Even if… I did know… I-I would never tell you…"
"Aw, how nice of you, protecting your friend like that. Quite noble, if I do say so myself." The man would send a strong punch to Tsuyu's face, wanting to knock her out cold, but she was still awake. He looked down upon her, cracking his neck.
"You're quite the stubborn one, aren't you?" Saying this, the man would go on to laugh like a psychopath, as Tsuyu was starting to bleed more than what she would like.
"One more hit like that, and you might be done for. How about we find out?!"
As he was about to punch Tsuyu again, she opened her mouth and slapped him with his tongue. Honestly, it was very insulting by the way she did it, too.
The man held his cheek from the slap, but the smirk on his face wasn't something that Tsuyu was expecting. This smirk was creepy.
Really, really creepy.
"Nighty night, frog."
As he was about to send the final punch, something, or someone, came out of nowhere and sent him flying like a baseball on a homerun. Looking at the arms, they were both hardened.
"Kirishima?" Tsuyu said.
"Tsuyu! I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier, but I had to fight my way through a bunch of these bums just to get here." Kirishima looked around at the army Tsuyu had been facing, being amazed.
"My God… How were you even able to survive this long?!"
Tsuyu let out a ribbit, before saying, "I was told that I was stubborn. Maybe that's a factor."
"Well, whatever the case may be, you need to get out of here. You're badly injured and I can't risk you dying out here." he commanded, but Tsuyu somehow found the strength to make herself get up.
"I… am not leaving you… alone to fight these monsters all by yourself. What kind of classmate would I be?"
"This isn't a good idea!"
"I don't care!"
While the two were arguing, the army began to make their move once more, deciding to charge at the two all at once. Tsuyu would use her tongue to grab Kirishima, hoping he would catch the hint and threw him at the army that was coming for them. Kirishima picked it up quickly, and while he was thrown, he was now smashing every creature that crossed his path.
When he landed, he yelled at the top of his lungs and smashed the ground, creating a humongous earthquake that made everyone fall. Even after that, he would go right back into the fire by giving it everything he's got. Every attack carried weight, having the full intention of making out of this alive along with Tsuyu.
Kirishima was so serious on making it out alive that he literally grabbed a few creatures and ripped their arms off, often ripping both at once. He wasn't playing around. Bakugo might have had some influence on him.
"You want a piece of me?! I will tear you apart!" He yelled, while Tsuyu was hopping on the backs of these creatures, hitting them on the head and would do the same for the next nearest one.
Their combined efforts were providing good results. That is, until, the man that Kirishima sent flying while making his entrance returned like a nuclear bomb. When he crashed down, his whole body exploded with a massive wave of power, creating a massive crater and caused everything to go up in flames.
It looked like hell, to be honest.
After an impact of that magnitude, not even some of the creatures could escape something like that, their lifeless-looking bodies on the floor essentially telling their fate.
Though, before the impact, Kirishima made it his mission to cover Tsuyu and harden his entire body, protecting her from any further harm.
But it would come at a cost.
Kirishima, even in his hardened state, never felt an attack of that magnitude strike him the way it did. His body was now returning to normal from its hardened state, feeling weaker and weaker by the second.
"Tsuyu… Run…" he muttered, letting her go as everything went blank. He fell to the ground, the world around Tsuyu now going in slow motion.
"Kirishima… KIRISHIMAAA!"
This couldn't be happening. He came to save her, but now… was he…?
"Oh, for the love of God, if you're still not going to listen to him," The man extended his right arm, his palm now being covered in purple energy. "Then I'll keep his promise for you!"
A chaotic beam was now fired right at Tsuyu, striking the ground which caused her to skid everywhere, leaving trails of blood before coming to a halt, being completely unconscious.
Afterwards, the man came near Kirishima's body, grinning all the while.
"I'm not falling for it. It'll take more than that to completely end you, but then again… why would we want to do that?" A grin would come upon his face, firing something at Kirishima that caused him to wake up and scream in agony.
"Besides, you'll make a fine addition to the army."

Midoriya continued to carry Momo in his arms, running as fast as he could. Once he finally made it to UA High, he brought Momo into the nursing room, seeing the only person that could help her right now.
"Recovery Girl! Oh, thank God you're still here!"
"The only reason why I am here is because those other ignorant heroes left me." She pouted, but then she looked at Momo and realized the severity of the situation.
"Set her down on the bed! I'll take care of the rest!" she exclaimed. Midoriya would do exactly as he was told, setting Momo on the bed and letting Recovery Girl do whatever does. Truth be told, his body would be in pieces if it wasn't for the countless times she healed him.
"You're gonna be alright, Momo… Recovery Girl is the best of the best at this, so you're in good hands…" Midoriya said, but then he would turn into a nervous wreck as his signature high speed muttering would begin. Recovery Girl would only roll her eyes, not even having the energy to tell Midoriya to shut up.
XXXXXXX
In Another Part of the City
"So… these random creatures think that they're the new villains in town, eh?" A table would be slammed, the haunting voice speaking to his own mini army.
"Well, I think we should teach them a lesson."
Here comes Tomura Shigaraki.
