Chapter 5
the wielder
"Villains?! No way!"
"What villains be dumb enough to sneak into a school for heroes?!"
The keyblade wielder frowned. The number of villains kept on growing in numbers. It was like there's no end to them. Finally, a creature stepped out from the portal. A large humanoid monster—its brain exposed for the world to see. Sure, she has seen unnatural creatures from the Darkness and sometimes they were beyond scary, but something about that humanoid monster is making her feel uneasy. She never knew something could be compared to the Darkside.
"Teacher, what about the trespasser sensors?"
Thirteen glanced over his shoulder. "We have them, of course, but…"
"Did they only appear here, or around the whole school… Either way, if the sensors are not responding that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that." Todoroki took a few steps forward, his eyes looking over the villains crowding the plaza.
"What?" Kaminari turned his head sharply at the boy' direction. "No way! So, we can't contact the school with our phones too?!" he yelled in panic.
Jirou took out her phone from her pocket. "Seems like it…" she gripped her phone tighter when she saw there were no bars.
Hikari also looked over to her phone. Her phone wasn't the case. She's a hundred percent certain that she could still make calls despite the interference of a villain's quirk. The combination of Ienzo and Tron's works were incredible. Because of them, the phone between worlds were possible—there were no limitations. Though, she rather not risked either of Ienzo and Tron's identity being found out.
"This place is far from the main campus and they picked a time when a class is supposed to be here. They're not as dumb as they seem." The bi-color haired boy continued. A thin layer of frost began to show on the boy's right hand. "This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind…" He finished.
Mineta noticed the coldness radiating from the bi-color haired boy. "A—Are you kidding?! We can't fight them! We're only students!" he shouted panickily.
"Calm down, will ya?" Hikari grabbed the boy by his cape to stop him from running around in panic. She didn't blame him, compared to her everyone isn't experienced enough to handle these sorts of things. She has faced a lot and facing these villains mean nothing to her. She was used to Heartless popping left and right to ambush her—not to mention the all those villains that tried to get their hands on her keyblade. Her classmates have never faced anything like this, she guessed.
Hagakure held Hikari's hand. "What are we going to do?" she asked, her voice quiet and despite being invincible, the keyblade wielder noticed that she was pretty shaken.
"It's alright—Mr. Aizawa and Thirteen are here. They'll know what to do." Hikari reassured, giving the girl's gloved hand a squeeze.
"But—But they can't handle all of those villains!" Mineta cried, pointing his finger at the direction of the plaza.
"Shut up, you fucking baby!" Bakugou yelled at him—instantly shutting up the short boy. The ash-blond turned to look at the villains, a wide grin spreading across his face as his hands began to crackle. "I'm going to be the top hero and I'll start with beating the shit out of these fucking villains!" he made a move to step forward.
Hikari reached her hand out. "Wait, Bakugou—" despite going off on the wrong foot, she hates to see if anything were to happen to him and her new classmates. No matter how strong and powerful Bakugou's quirk is, she doubts that he's not experienced enough to handle all. Even she's not sure herself if she could beat that many while protecting everyone.
"Didn't I tell you not to move? All of you stand back." Aizawa stretched his arm out, blocking Bakugou from taking another step further. He could hear the ask-blond click his tongue, but he obliged his order. Despite his students' panic, never once did he avert his attention from the villains—afraid that if he did, the villains will make a move to attack the students. "Kaminari. Try using your quirk to signal for help." He ordered.
Although afraid, Kaminari followed his teacher's orders. "Y—Yes, sir!" he quickly pressed his hand on his ear peace, trying to contact the school.
Aizawa gave a nod. "Thirteen, begin evacuation and try calling the school too. Just like what Todoroki said, one of these villains with a radio-wave-type powers must be jamming the sensors." He ordered.
"Yes." The man in the space suit nodded his head. He began ushering the students closest to him out to the exit. "Let's go."
Izuku gulped. "But Mr. Aizawa, you can't fight them all alone!" he was scared. Anyone in their case would be too, but he can't just leave his teacher alone to fight by himself against all of those villains. He was easily outnumbered. If his teacher allows it—even though he himself is scared—he would gladly help out with the power All Might gave him. "Against that many… you can't nullify all their quirks! Eraserhead's fighting style involves erasure and a quick binding capture. A head on battle isn't…"
"You can't become a hero with just one trick."
The green-haired boy froze.
Aizawa prepared himself to jump. "I'll leave it to you, Thirteen."
"Of course."
Hikari watched the man leap off from the edge, his scarf flying around him wildly. She went closer to the stairs with Izuku, looking down to the plaza with amazement when Aizawa already defeated a couple of those thugs. The villains—from what she observed—seemed to underestimate Aizawa's abilities. They all stride with overconfidence when they first walked inside the plaza, but now they all seem to be shaken by Aizawa's unexpected powers.
"Mr. Aizawa is actually good at fighting by himself against a lot of people…" Izuku mumbled under his breath.
"As expected of a pro hero." The keyblade wielder grinned.
"This is no time for analysis!" The two of them turned their attention to Iida. All of their classmates had begun to run except the both of them who were still watching their teacher fight. "Hurry up and evacuate!"
"Y—Yes!" Izuku turned around to leave. "Let's go, Leonhart."
"Wait—" Hikari took a few steps back and raised her arms and a faint silhouette of a flower and a goat were seen. In a burst of warm light, two Spirits appeared before their eyes. "Wheeflower, Yoggy, help Mr. Aizawa in any way you can." She instructed and both Spirits gave chirps and a snort, nodding their head.
Izuku stared at the two animals. "Amazing…" he had seen Hikari use her quirk in class when she created that cat-dog creature, but he has never seen it up close. She told him that she could also 'borrow' her Spirits powers and use them as her own. Her quirk is still a mystery to him—it was something new and the description she gave was still not enough to fully explain the workings of her quirk. "Ah—!" he took a step back when Yoogy Ram's horn emitted fire.
The keyblade wielder quickly send both her Spirits to the plaza. "I know Mr. Aizawa is capable of handling things on his own, but I can't help but worry." She explained to him as the two of them watch the Spirits ran down the flight of stairs—reaching Aizawa's side in no time. "They'll act as support and help him in anyway they can." She patted his shoulder and began to ran towards the others.
"Your quirk… Do you have one that can help us contact the school?" Izuku asked.
"No… I don't…" Hikari sighed and she could see the slight worry and disappointment in Izuku's eyes. She looked down and debated whether if she admits that her phone can actually make calls. She looked over her shoulder to where the battle it occurring between her teacher and the swarm of villains. Her gaze was averted to her classmates, running ahead of her. It didn't take her a second to decide. "But—my phone. I think I can make calls with it." she pulled out her phone, showing the teen her phone.
Izuku's eyes brightened. "R—Really?"
"Yes." Hikari quickly dialed the school's number and pressed her phone against her ear—hearing the dialing tone. "This phone is specially made by my friends." she said proudly, both Ienzo and Tron in mind.
The number you have reached is not in service—
"Greetings." Both Izuku and Hikari turned their head at the direction of the disembodied voice. A large black smoke appeared right in front of the group, blocking their only way of escape. Instinctively, Hikari stood in front of the fear-stricken boy, shielding him with her own body. "We are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves in to the home of heroes, U.A. High School. In order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath." the black mist spoke.
"H—Huh?" Izuku gasped, his eyes widened when he heard that the League of Villains were after All Might.
The villain's eyes looked over the group of students, watching them all cower in fear at his words. "We were under the impression that All Might Would be here today but… It seems his schedule was revised." The black mist began to waver, spreading widely across to prevent any escape route. "No matter… my role still remained unchanged."
Hikari still tried one more time to call the school, her phone pressed tightly against her ear.
The black mist's eyes seemed to fall onto her when he saw her using her phone. "It is best if you quit your irrational plan, Miss." He said, but that didn't stop her from continuing her actions. All of her classmates turned to look at her. "We have someone who could obstruct all signals inside of U.A."
The number you've reached—
The brunette lowered her phone. 'He's right… it's no use if I continue to call when all of the signal in U.A. is down.' She furrowed her brows down as her thumb scrolled to the right, opening another list of contacts in her phone. 'Inside of U.A? That doesn't mean I can't try!' she tapped on Ienzo's contact, pressing her phone against her ear again.
"Le—Leonhart." Izuku placed his hand on Hikari's shoulder—trying to make her stop.
Ring ring
The black mist chuckled at Hikari's attempts. "It is futile—"
Ring—
"Hello?"
Izuku's eyes widened when he heard the voice on the phone.
From the distance he was standing, he could hear that there was someone answering the phone. "Is there something you need, Hikari? It's unusual for you to call during this hour… Aren't you supposed to be at school?"
The black mist seemed to be quite taken aback. "Impossible!"
"Is this for real?! Is she really talking to someone on the phone?" Kirishima stared at the brunette with wide eyes, a hopeful smile across his face. He turned to face the black mist, punching his fist into his palm. "Alright! Then it's our job to protect!" he lunged forward with the ash-blond.
"Wait, you two!" Thirteen called out to both Kirishima and Bakugou, who acted without his consent.
There was an explosion and a cloud of smoke covered the area.
Hikari coughed, fanning her hand in front of her face.
"We'll end you first!"
"Betcha didn't see that coming!"
The keyblade wielder heard both Bakugou and Kirishima's taunts from inside the smoke. As soon as the smoke cleared, she could see everything and her eyes narrowed at the black mist as it began to form once more. She was sure both Kirishima and Bakugou landed a direct hit—she heard a loud clang. It was almost as if this black mist guy was impossible to beat.
"That was close… Students though you may be, you are still far."
Hikari's eyes widened when the black mist headed straight for her. She dodged roll away to avoid the mist and her eyes widened when the black mist began to surround her classmates. She spotted Iida jumping out of the dome with Uraraka and Satou—along with Shouji taking Ashido and Sero.
"Everyone!" Iida shouted, looking over to the dome.
The dome seemed to spread towards the students who managed to escape. "My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death!"
Hikari's hand glowed a soft white light as she rushed over to the dome. She blasted a sphere of light to the two separate groups outside of the dome. Once the spheres were near them, it burst into a blinding light—turning itself into a barrier to protect her classmates.
"What?!" The keyblade wielder stopped midway when the large dome disappeared—along with everyone else who were trapped inside. She turned her focus to her other classmates, checking over them to see if they're injured or not. "Are you guys, okay?" she asked.
"H—Hikari!" Uraraka turned her head to the direction of the brunette.
"We're not safe yet…" Shouji announced as he regrouped with the others. His arms spread widely and his hands turned into eyes and ears. "Everyone's been scattered, but they're all in the facility."
"Leonhart, can you really contact the school?" Thirteen came over to the group, looking over the new student.
"Oh!" Hikari finally remembered that she had Ienzo waiting this whole time. She raised her phone to her ear again. "Ienzo, sorry to keep you waiting."
There was a soft sigh. "It's fine. What do you need? I can hear all that ruckus from here."
"Can you connect this call to U.A.? It's an emergency."
There was a brief pause. "Alright." He agreed without question and the dialing ringtone was back.
"Didn't that mist guy said they have someone blocking the signals?" Sero asked, beads of sweat running down his forehead.
"This phone's design is to still be able to make calls anytime and anywhere." Hikari averted her gaze to the black-haired boy, giving him a reassuring smile. She wasn't going to show her panic to any of her classmates—there was no reason to panic. She won't allow any of her classmates to get hurt.
Ienzo's voice came back to the call. "I'm sorry, Hikari—but there seems to be something blocking the signal…"
"Can you hack it through?" Hikari asked back.
"It might take some time… I'll see what I can do."
"There's no time…" Thirteen spoke and turned his head to the direction of the unguarded door. He looked over to the bespectacled teen who seem to notice his teacher's attention on him. "Class rep—your job is to run back to school and report what's happening." He instructed.
Iida seemed to refuse. "But—!"
"Even if Leonhart could make calls to the outside, they won't make it in time." Thirteen said and Iida glanced over to look at Hikari. The girl gave a nod, confirming the pro hero's words. If Ienzo could hack through and inform the school—it would waste too much time. "The alarm uses infrared tech. The fact that it hasn't activated even thought Eraserhead is down there nullifying their quirks means that whoever is interfering with the system has hidden themselves well. That being the case, you going back is our best option!"
"As a class president, I can't abandon my class—!"
Satou shoved Iida towards the exit. "He said to go!" he shouted, urging the class rep to hurry.
Uraraka nodded her head. "Just like in the cafeteria, we'll provide all the support you need!"
Hikari grinned. "We're counting on you, class rep!"
"Please use your quirk to save us all." Thirteen said.
"Everyone…" Iida stared at his friends before he turned around, positioning himself to run.
"I am afraid I cannot allow you to do that." The black mist returned, blocking Iida's path to the door. "How foolish of you to discuss your plans out in the open."
Thirteen stood in front of his students. "It doesn't matter if you overheard." The cap of his fingertip opens, creating a vortex to suck the black mist inside. "You can't stop us!"
"Should you really turn your back at me, pro hero Thirteen?" the black mist spoke and a warp gate appeared behind the pro hero—the previous one he used to suck the black mist with. The vortex sucked a part of Thirteen with it, turning a part of his suit into dust. "You can't measure up to even the most ordinary of heroes when it comes to a fight. And now you find yourself ripped apart by your own power."
"Thirteen!" Uraraka and Ashido shouted in pure horror at the sight of their teacher being ripped apart by his own black hole. Hikari quickly went over to her teacher's side, looking over his injuries. She cringed at the sight of the damage.
"Iida, just go!"
Iida swallowed hard before making a dash towards the door.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Aizawa was taken by surprise when the colorful goat rammed into the villain sneaking behind him.
It had sent the villain flying back a couple of feet—surprising the others as well. Another colorful animal—flower—appeared beside him, giving him a stamina boost. He could feel all that tiredness from fighting the villains were gone. It was as if he just started the fight. He noticed the flower is the same one from the Toxic Haze incident. From this, he knew that both of these animals were from his new student.
'She gave me a healer and combat support.' Aizawa quickly analyze the other Spirit's moves. While the flower—Wheeflower—is always near him, the goat was moving around, ramming its' head into people and sending flames from its' horns.
"Oi, oi, oi…" the blue-haired man stared at the two animals helping the pro hero. They came out of nowhere. Completely out of surprise. "That's cheating… You can't have any party members…" he began to scratch his neck, disliking where this is going.
Aizawa ducked down and landed a full blow to a villain's stomach.
The villain's visible red eye glanced over to the flower. "Huh… that flower… I've seen it before…" he stopped scratching his neck, letting his arms drop to his sides.
Yes, he remembers now…
He saw it on tv—the news about one of his subordinates being captured.
Word has it, U.A. wanted to accept a late entry. Meaning that U.A. was giving out a free pass to the examinee. He sent the B-class thug to retrieve the ID pass from the student, but surprise, surprise, he failed. Quite pitifully he might add. Toxic Haze didn't manage to get the ID and all that chaos he spread was resolved because of a little flower creature. The mission's failure was an embarrassment for the League of Villains.
"I could use someone like that in my party…" the blue-haired man said to himself. He didn't know who the flower belongs to—it couldn't be from either pro heroes, so it has to be from one of his students. "Which one? Which one?" he drawled out—watching the pro hero taking down another of his subordinates.
The flower was present when Toxic Haze confronted the girl.
"Oh…"
It was obvious.
"Shigaraki Tomura." The black mist appeared beside the blue-haired man.
Shigaraki didn't turn his head to look. "Kurogiri… did you kill Thirteen yet?"
"He is incapacitated, but… there were some students I couldn't warp away and one of them escaped." Kurogiri said and the crimson eyed male narrowed his eyes dangerously at him. "A student managed to contact the outside—despite our attempts to block the signals." he informed.
The man began to scratch his neck aggressively. "Then why didn't you stop that brat?!" he raised his voice just a little as anger rushed over him. "Kurogiri—you… I'd turn you to dust if you weren't our ticket out of here… Great… this is great… our plans… ruined… it's game over…" he mumbled to himself, frustration taking over.
"Though she managed to get contact outside, she has yet to succeed in calling for help." the black mist continued.
The blue-haired man stopped. "Good… good…" his eyes glanced over to the top of the stairs. "Get her… don't let her call anyone… I want her dead." He motioned his hand, calling a few of the villains around him.
Kurogiri expanded himself, creating a large enough gate for the villains to enter.
Eraserhead's binding weapon wrapped themselves around a few of the villains, pulling them back from entering the warp gate. "As if I'll let you!"
"Hmm," Shigaraki hummed in amusement at the sight of the pro hero fighting in all his might to protect his students. "Nomu… you go too. Kill the NPC responsible for this mess…"
The humanoid monster beside him obliged, dragging his feet towards the gate.
Despite the hand covering his face, a sinister grin appeared.
"It's time to play…"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"Curaga." Hikari casted heal over her injured teacher.
"Wow…" Ashido stared in amazement.
"I'm not much of a healer, but this will heal most of his wounds. He should be fine." Hikari informed. She wasn't considered a healer, but she's pretty decent with the spell. She traveled alone quite a lot and they were no healers in her party—except if she summons the Spirits, but they can only appear in a limited time since they're originally from the Sleeping Realm.
Thirteen moved a little, his fingers twitching. "Le…on…hart…"
"Thirteen!" Uraraka exclaimed in surprise at the teacher's speedy recovery. She had been gone for less than a minute to help Iida escape and now Thirteen was able to move. Since it couldn't be Ashido, she looked over to the brunette who was still on the phone. "Is he going to be alright?" she asked, kneeling beside the pro hero.
Ashido nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yes! Hikari healed him! She said he's going to be alright!"
Uraraka sighed in relief. "Thank goodness…"
Shouji turned his head to the girls' direction when he heard the villains' conversation in the plaza. "Leonhart—they're coming after you!" his eyes widened when a black portal appeared behind the girl.
Hikari's eyes widened when she turned around, coming face to face with a hand that reached out from the portal. She quickly ducked down, avoiding the hand. Both Uraraka and Ashido quickly reacted, the two girls quickly pulled Thirteen away from the warp gate as Hikari stood in front of them, glaring at the hand from the mist.
"Hey, kid." a voice said from inside the portal. Thirteen quickly looked over his shoulder when a number of villains began to appeared from the portal. "How about you hand me that phone of yours? We promise not to hurt anyone." The villain seemed to laugh at the fears he brought up to the children.
"Apologize to Thirteen then you punk!" Hikari shouted at him angrily.
"Hikari—" The dialing tone was replaced with Ienzo's voice. "It seems the signal around the school is down. We can't connect you."
"Tough luck, kid!" The villain sneered, laughing at their dismay.
Hikari frowned. "Then change of plans. Connect this call to someone named Tsukauchi Naomasa. He's in my contacts—the only one." She quickly thought of the detective. The man has connections with pro heroes and if she calls him and tells him about the situation—all those pro heroes will storm into USJ in no time.
"Alright."
The keyblade wielder ducked down when one of the villain's long arms threw a punch at her face. She grabbed his extended arm with her free hand and gave a powerful tug, pulling him towards her. She bends her arm and jabbed her elbow on the man's stomach making him stagger back a few steps. Finally, she reached her hand out to the man's face.
"Sleep." The brunette casted the spell quietly and no sooner than a second, the man fell backwards—soundlessly asleep.
"Is that her quirk?!"
"Don't let her hand get near your face! It must be a poison gas!"
'Poison gas? These guys have high imaginations…' Hikari thought as both Satou and Shouji came running towards her. They immediately started to take out as much as villains as they can, punching left and right.
"You okay? That was a nice trick!" Sero grinned, standing beside the brunette.
"Yeah—Look out!" Hikari quickly pushed Sero out of the way when the same humanoid monster from the plaza appeared behind them. She jumped away, watching Sero landed near the two girls and Thirteen. The monster had punched the ground—creating a crater in the spot they previously stood. It turned its head at her direction, making an inhuman sound. As she expected, the monster didn't pay attention to Sero or anyone.
It wanted her. Dead.
"Hikari!"
"W—What is that thing?!" Ashido stuttered, staring at the muscular creature with wide eyes.
"Hikari. You're connected!" Ienzo's voice snapped her away from her thoughts.
Ring—
The detective immediately answered the call. "This is Detective Tsukauchi—"
"Mr. Tsukauchi! It's me, Leonhart. Leonhart Hikari!" the keyblade wielder avoided the monster's punch once again, moving backwards to lead the monster away from her friends. "Whoa—Yikes!" she suddenly lost her footing, falling backwards.
The brunette could feel gravity taking over.
"Leonhart!" Sero's tape shoots forward and Hikari grabbed his tape. The two of them tugged on each end to prevent Hikari from falling over the flight of stairs. Before Hikari could even pull herself, the monster threw another punch and she avoided it by a centimeter. She had moved sideways, letting her left leg hold all of her weight. "You okay?" the boy shouted.
Hikari tugged on the tape and she stood on the flat ground again. "I'm good!" she shouted back without turning her gaze. Her eyes stared at the cloud of dust around the monster and she jumped back as she saw the monster lunged forward—its hand aiming for her head.
"Ms. Leonhart? Is there something wrong?" the detective's voice was suddenly filled with worry when he heard all the noise in the background. The call he received wasn't directly from her phone. It was connected through the main system back in Radiant Garden—of course that number wasn't registered. "Are you in a fight? Where are you now?"
Once again, Hikari averts the fight to the opposite of where her friends are—this time careful of her surroundings. She let out a grunt when the monster's hand grabbed hold on her arm, tightening its grip around her whole forearm. Her phone slipped from her fingers and dropped down to the floor.
"Mr. Tsukauchi—!" Hikari wheezed out as she tried to pry open the monster's fingers from breaking her arm. It wasn't like any Heartless or Nobodies she had faced. Neither of the dark creatures were this strong. "Stopga!" she casted and the monster seemed to froze in time.
A ticking clock appeared right above the monster's head.
The brunette quickly pries off the fingers encircled around her arm. By the time the clock ticked to twelve, the monster began to move again and luckily Hikari managed to get away from it on time. She dodged roll away, swiping her phone from the ground as well.
"Leonhart!" Satou shouted when Hikari crouched over. He cursed under his breath as he punched another villain out of the way.
"I'm fine!" Hikari replied, standing up. She pressed her phone back to her ear. "Mr. Tsukauchi, U.A.'s being under attacked by villains—I don't have time to explain—Thirteen's hurt and all signals are down! You gotta trust me!"
The brunette slid between the gap of the monster's leg and jumped on its' back, latching herself on him. The monster began to trash around, trying to get her off of it. She grabbed the tape Sero shot at her and used it like a horse's bit over the monster's open mouth. She dug her heel on the monster's lower back as she pulled on the tape, making the monster tumble over the stairs. She was careful not to fall over as the monster kept sliding down the flight of stairs.
Hikari jumped off of the monster and landed on the steps with a soft thud. She got a clear view of the fight bellow. A few villain's eyes seem to watch her as she managed to defeat the inhumane creature they were so proud of. She didn't see any of her Spirits in the field. The time limit was up.
"Argh—What?!" the brunette flinched when she felt someone grip on her right wrist tightly. She was sure the monster was in front of her and she glanced over to her hand and her eyes widened when it was inside of a black portal—the mist guy's quirk she presumed. She tried pulling her hand back, but whoever is on the other side was persistent on not letting go.
Shigaraki watched from where he stood. The girl—a mere little snot nosed brat managed to take Nomu down. He glanced down to the girl's hand he took from Kurogiri's warp gate. His hand was around the girl's wrist—his middle finger raised up to prevent his quirk from being activated.
His other hand took the phone away from the girl's fingers, holding it between his thumb and index finger. "Ms. Leonhart? Hello? Ms. Leonhart—"
All of the man's five fingers gripped on the phone, disintegrating it into dust.
Hikari watched the man crush her phone. "HEEEYYY! You're gonna pay for that Hand-Man!" she shouted angrily at him.
Aizawa turned his attention to the hand, sticking out of the warp gate. He activated his erasure on Shigaraki just in time when his middle finger enclosed around the girl's wrist—all five of them.
"Huh…" Shigaraki said, all five fingers still around the girl's wrist. He raised his pinkie up and the pro hero's hair fall over his face once again. "Your Quirk… it's not good in these types of battles, huh? You jumped right into this fight, hoping to make the kids feel safe? You're so cool, hero."
The pro hero's scarf went towards Shigaraki.
"Too bad, pro hero."
Hikari's eyes were wide as plate when the monster in front of her was gone in a blink of an eye. Even in a distance, she could hear the sickening crack.
"Mr. Aizawa!"
The monster was on top of the pro hero, twisting his arm and crushing it like a twig.
"Argh!"
The keyblade wielder cringed at the sound of bones breaking.
"Eraser… meet the anti-symbol of peace. The bio-engineered, Nomu."
Before the keyblade wielder could even move, Nomu crushed Aizawa's other arm—breaking it with one hit. The Nomu raised Aizawa's head forcefully and slammed it into the ground, creating a small crater with its immense strength.
"The brat called the police… might as well kill her too... to hurt the symbol of peace's pride—!" Shigaraki didn't even get to finish his sentence when a punch strike across his head. The girl—the girl whose wrist he has been holding, came through the warp gate Kurogiri made. She jumped out of the portal, punching him and making him stagger back. He released his hold on the girl's wrist.
Hikari used the villain as a kick-start for her flow motion to activate. She kicked him away and dashed towards the Nomu. She spun around him a few times, then flung it towards the villain with a kick. She landed beside her teacher and she cringed at the amount of blood pooling beneath him.
"Curaga!" the brunette quickly casted the spell on her teacher, watching his wounds heal just a little. She didn't have enough magic to summon Wheeflower and she didn't bring any Ethers or potions with her to USJ. "Curaga." She casted the cure spells two more times.
"Leon… ha…rt…" Aizawa hoarsely said, his eye looking at his student as the magic healed the poor man, but it wasn't enough. "Sta…nd back."
"Don't worry, Mr. Aizawa. I gotcha. I have a potion too. I'll go and get it once we get out of here." The keyblade wielder reassured, giving a thumbs up.
The blue-haired man pushed himself up. "So… you're the brat with that weird quirk."
Hikari turned her attention back to the man. "Not as weird as you, Zombie Breath." She scowled at him with narrowed eyes. "Mr. Tsukauchi will be here with the police force and the pro heroes. You're done for."
Shigaraki looked unamused. "Am I?"
"Until they arrive, I'll be your opponent." Hikari stood in front of Aizawa, standing tall with confidence. As a keyblade master, it's her job to protect. She wasn't going to just stand back when her teacher gets beaten to a pulp. A bright light emits from her hand and she took the handle, swinging it into her signature stance. "Be ready."
She didn't care if the villains knew or not.
A keyblade.
"That's—?!" Kurogiri seem surprised at the sight of the sword-like-key.
Shigaraki began to scratch his neck, staring at the keyblade with widened eyes. "Oi, oi, oi—that's cheating. Cheating!"
Hikari took a deep breath. 'All my potions and Ethers are in class. I need to save my magic in case someone else needs healing.' She wasn't the best at coming up with plans or tactics, but she knew with her limited magic, she wouldn't be able to defend if she used to much on the element-based spells. She needed to save up for healing and casting barriers, because it was needed to protect at times like this. 'But I'm not going to show it to them.' She lowered herself, holding her keyblade tightly.
From their expression, they knew something about the keyblade.
The brunette dashed forward and swung her keyblade at the blue-haired man, but as she expected—Nomu stood in front of him in breakneck speed. Her keyblade slashed the creature across and it let out a loud screech. She jumped as it tried to swat her away. Nomu went over to Aizawa, as per Shigaraki's order to take him out first before the wielder.
"Think again!" Hikari moved her keyblade, pointing it at Aizawa's direction. Magic seemed to flow from her hand into her keyblade, directing her magic over to the teeth. Bright light shot out from the tip of her keyblade and it burst into the same barrier that protected her friends. This time, when Nomu's fist collided against the barrier, it counterattacks, pushing the creature back with a blast. "If you want Mr. Aizawa, you're gonna have to go through me, you punk!" she rushed down and landed another hit on the Nomu.
"How did U.A. manage to get a wielder?" Kurogiri narrowed his eyes at the wielder—who was unexpectantly holding her ground against Nomu. "This Nomu doesn't stand a chance—"
Shigaraki snarled. "Shut up… Shut up…! Nomu… can stand it. He's made… to defeat All Might… who's to say Nomu can't beat up a pesky wielder?" a sinister grin made its way up to his face. His red eyes averted to the three kids in the waters—not far from where he stood. "Hey, wielder… who do you choose?"
Hikari's attention were split for a second when she turned her head to the direction where Shigaraki had sprinted off too. He was heading for her three classmates; Izuku, Asui and Mineta. She drew her keyblade with gritted teeth—planning to use point-warp to save her friends.
"You can't save both of them."
The keyblade wielder turned her attention back to Aizawa. The Nomu was standing right in front of him.
"And you can't save yourself."
A few villains seemed to show up around her.
"Let's see who you'll save." Shigaraki placed his hand, all five fingers, over Asui's face. He activated his quirk, but nothing came. The girl's still alive. "Ah… You really are cool… Eraser…"
Hikari glanced over to Aizawa, who forced himself up with his elbow—his eyes glowing bright red. The keyblade wielder wasn't fast enough to blast bullets from her transformed keyblade, she had it pointed at the opposite direction—one at the Nomu and one at Shigaraki. She didn't waste another second to pull the trigger, shooting light at the Nomu that grabbed Aizawa's arm and one over to Shigaraki. She missed Shigaraki because of the warp portal that appeared.
"You're forgetting about us!" the villain in front of her swung his fist at her face. She ducked down when she noticed the warp mist appearing behind her. her previous bullet was shot out from the mist, hitting the villain in front of her instead.
"Nomu." The blue-haired man called when he saw an opening. "Take her down."
Nomu appeared right behind the keyblade wielder. She wasn't fast enough to cast barrier as Nomu's fist collided with her stomach. The punch sent her back flying across the field, skidding to a full stop near the stairs. She was lucky that she has an extend of durability because of Merlin's magic, but still that punch hurt like heck.
"Leonhart!"
"O—Ow…" the brunette wheezed out, holding her stomach with one hand. She dropped both of her keyblade guns and they had been summoned away because of the distance of where it was first dropped. "That… hurts more… than when I crashed into Shinsou." She grunted in pain, wiping the blood that came out from her nose.
Izuku quickly jumped out of the waters, pulling back his fist to punch Shigaraki away from Asui. He had seen how Shigaraki's quirk work and he didn't want to see any of his friends die.
"Get your hands off her!"
"SMASH!"
There was a burst of impact when his fist collided with something sturdy.
"N—No way…" Izuku's eyes widened when he saw that his attack did no damage to the Nomu. "Not even a single scratch—!"
"That punch… was impressive… Smash, was it? I take it you're a follower of All Might?" Shigaraki turned to where the boy stood. "Well, whatever."
The Nomu had grabbed Izuku's arm as Shigaraki reached his hands out to Asui and Mineta.
Hikari had prepared to shoot another barrier at the trio's location, but loud noise stopped her from doing so.
BAM
The brunette raised her chin up to the direction where she had heard of the noise.
"Fear not."
Footsteps echoed in the silence.
"For I am here."
There on the stairs, stood Earth's mightiest hero.
All Might.

"18… 19… 20…"
A police officer has hustled the students out of the building and made them stand in a line. His feline eyes scanned everyone, counting the students present at the moment.
After All Might entered the battle, everything seemed to turn in for the better. Hikari had watched his battle with awe. He saved everyone in a blink of an eye and manage to defeat Nomu by punching it straight out of the dome. Not long after that, the teachers came to save the rest of the students. A few minutes after that, the police force came—along with a few pro heroes she had never seen in person before. Two villains escaped, but the rest were arrested.
The cat officer nodded his head and turned to the man in a coat. "Everyone's here, except for that kid who injured both legs." He informed, giving a salute. "Everyone seemed to be unharmed."
The man hummed in response. "That's good to hear." his eyes looked over to the group of students and he spotted the girl he was looking for. "Ms. Leonhart." he called to the brunette, taking his hat off.
Said brunette turned to the man. "Mr. Tsukauchi!" she grinned at the man approaching her. "Thanks for trusting my call—it must've sounded so weird at that time." she crossed her hands behind her neck.
Tsukauchi shook his head, a smile on his face. "Not at all, it was your call that saved the day."
"But it was Iida who actually saved the day, my calls couldn't reach the school grounds." Hikari turned sideways to look at the class rep talking to Uraraka and Ashido. The class rep seems to be going around, checking his classmates. "I'm glad you gave me your number—otherwise I don't know who else to call." She laughed a little, rubbing the back of her neck.
She didn't know any pro hero agencies' numbers and if she calls the police, they would just think of her call as a joke because of how stupid she must've sound.
Tsukauchi laughed a little. "To be honest, I was surprised when you called me in such panic." He admitted. He had been in a meeting with his co-workers when his phone suddenly blared an unknown ringtone. It was different from the regular ringtone he had set and he immediately picked it up, thinking it was something important. "We were lucky that Best Jeanist and Gunhead were inside the meeting."
"… you were in a meeting? I'm so sorry for calling you!" The brunette quickly apologized. "It must've been so embarrassing!"
The detective laughed again, waving her apologies away. "It's alright! If I didn't answer, then we wouldn't have gotten here on time." he said.
"Mr. Detective," Asui hopped over to the two. "How is Mr. Aizawa?" she asked.
The detective smiled. "There's nothing to be worried about. His injuries had been pretty bad, but he's going to be just fine."
Mineta cried tears of joy. "That's a relief!"
Hikari couldn't help but smile. She had casted Curaga over three times on her teacher, hoping that it could at least help him heal his fatal injuries. If she could cast cure more over her injured teachers and classmate, she would. She had run out of magic at the moment and her ethers were left inside her backpack. It was impossible for her to cast magic now.
Her phone was completely destroyed and there was no chance for her to contact Ienzo. She has to go back to Radiant Garden and report everything to him and get a new phone. She made a mental note to stock up on potions and ethers with Mog. She was going to need a lot of it from now on.
"And Thirteen?" Yaoyorozu asked in concern.
Tsukauchi turned to her. "He's also going to make a full recovery. All Might's injuries aren't life threatening either. It's possible that Recovery Girl's healing will be enough for him." he informed.
Uraraka took a step forward. "And Deku?"
"What of Midoriya?" Iida asked.
Tsukauchi blinked. "Midori… Ah, yes, he's doing fine as well. It seems he made it to the nurse's office in time. He'll be alright." He reassured with a smile.
Everyone seemed relief at the information.
Ashido took a few steps closer to the brunette. "It's all thanks to you, Hikari! Your healing is amazing!" she praised.
"Aw shucks, Mina! You gals were amazing too!" Hikari grinned. She had overheard their battles from eavesdropping and she was impressed. Class 1-A might be younger than her, but they were strong and amazing. She has no doubts that they will become great heroes in the future.
"Excuse me for interrupting!" Iida appeared between the detective and the group of girls, Asui and Mineta beside him. "Leonhart! I heard from Asui and Mineta that you're injured! Why did you hide your injuries from the medical staff!" he began to make motions with his hands, scolding the brunette for her reckless behavior.
Tsukauchi turned to look at the girl. "You're injured?" he turned his head to one of the paramedics. "We need a medic here!"
Hikari waved her hands in front of her face. "No, no! It's okay!" she laughed it off, giving a reassuring look to her friends and the detective.
Asui placed her finger on her chin. "But Hikari… we all saw you got hit by that creature… Didn't it hurt?" she asked, staring at the taller girl in concern.
Mineta nodded his head. "Y—Yeah! That monster punched you straight out of the field! It was almost the same as All Might's! You couldn't have survived that punch!"
The keyblade wielder didn't know if she should feel flattered by Mineta's words or not. "Uh… I guess you mean I'm strong for handling such brute force? Thanks, I guess, Mineta…" she rubbed the back of her head. She placed her hand over her stomach, careful not to put too much pressure on it. She was certain that a huge ugly bruise was forming. "But really, I'm fine. Nothing but a few cure spells from Wheeflower can't fix!" she reassured.
"Really? You've been walking around like a penguin…" Asui noted, talking about how strange Hikari has been walking around after Nomu's attack.
"No way, really?" Hikari turned to look at Asui seriously and then to the boys—who nodded.
"I thought it was just your weird way of walking." Mineta commented.
"Thanks again, Mineta."
Tsukauchi motioned his hand for a medic to come over. "Just to be save, we'll have a medic check on you."
Hikari tried to reassure the detective once more.
Yaoyorozo gingerly reached her hand out, afraid to hurt the girl more just by touching. "But are you alright, Leonhart? We can't overlook the smallest of injuries..."
The brunette hid her cringe when she laughed. "I'm fine! Wanna look—?" she lifted a little of her tracksuit and t-shirt—immediately, her ears heard the loud shrieks from the three girls in front of her. "What?" she blinked confusedly at them.
"It—It's purple!"
"Leonhart, are you really alright?" Jirou asked, staring at the little bit of skin Hikari was showing. It doesn't take two to know how bad it was—even if she only showed a little. "You do feel it, right?"
"I do."
"D—Doesn't it hurt?" Ashido asked. "Y—You can heal it, right?"
"It hurts, but nothing that I can't handle." Hikari replied, pulling her clothes down to cover her stomach. "I can heal it. I'm just too tired to use my quirk."
Mineta pointed his finger at her stomach. "It's not sexy at all—it's all bruised… definitely a turn off." He stared at it with disgust, earning a smack from Jirou.
"Control yourself." Jirou deadpanned.
Iida moved his hand. "Please don't hide your injuries, Leonhart!" he chided. "We will be very worried if something happens to you!"
Hikari laughed as Tsukauchi ushered her to the ambulance. "Whatever you say, class rep."
Both Asui and Mineta didn't seem to mention anything about her weapon.
While the other villains present during her fight didn't seem to know what a keyblade is, she wonders if only those two villains knew of the keyblade.
"One kid… is a wielder."
"… Oh?"
