Chapter 3 – Murphy's law
A/N
I did not expect to be writing so soon but inspiration just stood up and slapped me in the face, So let's take it away
The City is abuzz after the security breach at U.A which that filling the news for days, Well not that it matters much, Stories come and go like the wind, You've just got to catch the next patch of warm air and glide to success, majestically and without a care
"Now only if I could do that, But hey, It's not like today can get any worse than it is already" thinking to myself whilst I scroll down the article in a vain attempt to avoid thinking about what I am dreading will happen later today, "They're only teenagers, Oh who am I kidding Teenagers do some of the stupidest shit I've ever known, I still don't understand how that boy got his head stuck in that pipe"
"Hey Coulson" Asahi greets distracting me from my spiralling internal monologue, "You worried about training with those U.A kids?" He asks noticing my Grimm expression
"No, I'm not worried about training with a bunch of hormonal, super-powered teenagers" I reply sarcastically waving my arms around in the air reaching for nothing, "I still don't understand Why I'm the one who has to do it"
"It might be because you've already met most of them" Asahi guesses thinking aloud while stroking an invisible beard
"Or I'm the most expendable if something goes wrong" I retort in a downcast tone realising my own mortality
"Why do you always say such depressing stuff about your self" Asahi inquires confused, "You've always got complements to spare for everyone else" pointing at me in a dramatic fashion
"I'm British, Depression, Self deprecation and Miserable weather are our main exports" I explain semi-joking but semi-realistically, "It's part of our national identity"
"Is Jack being depressing again?" Kaito asks walking past reading one of the multiple hero articles in the paper
"Yep" Is the unanimous response from around the station as people lounge around or are doing menial tasks
"Isn't he always?" Haru asks jokingly nudging me In the shoulder, "He could be from Detroit and you could never tell the difference"
"No, no" Asahi says shaking his hands, "You could tell by his accent"
"Oh ha ha, Really funny" I say in mock irritation while being glad that the others are helping me take my mind off of what will be following soon and that in the short time that I've been here I have managed to make some friends
"Hey Jack, Shouldn't you be going soon?" The Lieutenant says poking his head around the door frame leading from the kitchen
Looking at my watch as it ticks closer and closer to 12:30, "[OH SHITE I'M BLOODY LATE]" I shout in English as the others smile at my antics whilst I rush around grabbing my bunker gear and anything else nearby and throwing it into a bag before sprinting out of the open garage doors like a Brit out of hell.
At U.A with Class 1-A
"Oh, You're wearing your P.E. Clothes" Uraraka says walking up to Midoriya, "Where's your costume?"
"They got ripped up during the combat training, So I'm waiting for the support company to fix it" Midoriya explains as Iida blows a whistle loudly
"Class 1-A, Gather round!" Iida shouts, standing in front of the bus's door, "Form two lines by your student numbers in order to make boarding the bus go smoothly!"
"Iida's going at full throttle..." Midoriya says with a bead of sweat going down his head as his class mates all look on Iida's antics before boarding the bus and sitting down, Much to Iida's chargin
"Sensei, Why have we not started moving yet" Iida asks Aizawa loudly waving his arms robotically towards the tired teacher his fellow classmates talk amongst themselves
"First sit down Iida" Aizawa says in a deadpan fashion, "Second we are missing someone"
"Missing someone?" Midoriya asks before going into a 'mumble storm' as Asui looks on in confusion, "But everyone in the class is on the bus, who could it be?, maybe one of the teachers" Midoria mumbles on while some of the students look out of the windows. Spotting a somewhat familiar figure sprinting across the courtyard
Jack's POV
"[Shit, Shit, Shit]" I Scream in English, running with my bag bouncing off my sweaty back with every pace as I leg it towards the bus. Leaping through the door grasping a hold of the first thing I can get my hands on, Sweat dripping from my face, Doubled over panting like a dog, I raise my arm and answer "I'm Here, Sir"
"Took you long enough" The teacher says looking at my panting, sweaty form in annoyance, "You are late, Explain" He asks, His gaze piercing my very soul
"W-Well I ran here from the station" I gasp out between pants trying desperately to regain a regular heart beat, "And I had to get past the front desk and find where this was and" I blurt out quickly before the teacher cuts me off
"I don't care, Just sit down" The teacher tells me after pointing behind me. The teacher turns and gives the ok to the driver and I finally take a look at which class I have ended up with, Only to be greeted by a shell shocked Midmaria, no Midosia, eh it's something like that, with a large boy in a yellow costume on his right and a short green haired, well no other way of putting this, frog-like girl to his left, along with some red head, No I mean literally red, like strawberries, with only a pair of trousers on.
Moving down the bus I pass a boy who looks like a car and a knight had a child together, a girl with a blue and purple patterned shirt with tufts on her shoulders, Did I mention that she was pink?, she's pink, yep, Then a boy who looks like a Bloody medieval knight made of what looks like silver, And a boy with some weird box with an antenna over his right ear. Passing them I pick up snippets of their conversations, "I say whatever comes to mind." The frog-like girl says, While I pass a boy looking out of the window in boredom, while somehow looking like something foul is under his nose at the same time with a girl sat next to him, with her … ears? connected to her phone.
Walking past that dynamic duo and A boy with ice covering the left half of his body … who appears to be asleep?. Quickly moving past him I sit myself behind a girl who is, well, Surprisingly developed for her age with a err, quite Revealing costume on and a brown haired girl who looks permanently happy with an space inspired skin tight suit. Listening into their conversation as that boy who looks like a ticking time bomb explodes at his classmates.
"What a vulgar conversation" The developed girl says in shock, putting her hand to her mouth while the cheerful girl turns to face her
"But I like stuff like this, too." she tells her as the teacher turns around from the front of the bus
"We're here. Stop messing around." The teacher says bluntly before receiving a resounding 'Yes, Sir!' from the students
"Stood before me is a bloody astronaut, I kid you not, Well the kids seem impressed at least" I think to myself putting on my bunker and SCBA gear. While the students talk amongst themselves I pull out the Halligan bar from my bag, holding it in my left hand following behind the hero, "13 I think his name is"
"Let's go inside without delay." The hero I now know as 13 says pointing to the surprisingly large dome which unsurprisingly was followed by a "Look forwards to working with you!" from the students
Inside of the USJ
Looking around me at the massive dome "How in Her majesty's name did they get the money to build all of this?" I think to myself as the students all look around in similar looks of amazement while 13 talking extravagantly gesturing around before talking to that tired looking teacher about something in a hushed tone.
"Let's see... before we begin, Let me say one thing... er... or two, or three" 13 says contradicting himself...
"Wait is thirteen a he, she or an it?" I think to myself as thirteen continues to explain things getting my attention when they?, yea, They mention their Quirk
"Everyone, I am sure you are aware of my Quirk, Black Hole" Thirteen explains confusing me greatly
"Wait one of the students mentioned that he is a rescue hero, How the hell is making a Black hole useful to a rescue operation" I monologue internally, Blanking out what 13 is saying, "And where does the material they turn into dust go?, Inside of their suit? Does it have a little flap for it to drop out?", I'm only snapped out of my thought process when the students cheer thirteen's words … whatever they were.
"All right then, first-" The tired teacher starts before being interrupted as electricity arcs across the lights, Causing the light to dim and the water fountain starts acting up. On edge at the odd occurrences happening As a purple-black Cloud? Mist? Eh something like that expands in the courtyard, "Gather together and don't move!" he shouts, "Thirteen, Hot head*, Protect the students!"
"What's that?" The boy with gravity defying red hair asks looking out into the courtyard, As figures start Bloody walking out of that Mist, "Is this like the enterance exam where the lesson's already started?"
"Don't move" The tired teacher exlaims sternly causing Midoriya to flinch back, "Those are Villains.", All of the students move back in shock while I grip the Halligan bar with both hands, "The trespassing the other day was the work of these scumbags after all, huh?", The clothes around his neck expand and flare out as Thirteen and i stand infront of the Students, "What I'll actually going to do ... well i'll figure that out as i go along, Protect the students I guess is a good place to start" I think to myself trying to prepare for the enevitable battle
"What? Villains? No way... There's no way they could get into a hero school!" The Red head says in disbelif at what he is seeing before him
"Teacher, What about the trespasser sensors?" The developed girl asks 13
"We have them, of course, but..." thirteen says with some hesitation, the ice boy cuts in
"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." The boy says with a chilling sense of finallity, "An isolated area separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here, They might be fools, But they're not dumb. This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind."
"Well then let's throw a well placed spanner into their plan" I say tossing my Halligan bar in one of my hands smiling, "It's they've made the agressive move entering a restricted area"
"Thirteen, Hot head*, Start the evacuation," The tired teacher says cutting across me, "Try calling the school. These Villains even had something to counteract the sensors. It's possible someone with Radio-wave-type powers is interfering."
"Kaminari. You try contacting the school with your Quirk, too." The tired teacher tells the one with the box over his ear, Now known as Kaminari as Midoriya questions The teacher, "I'm leaving it to you, Thirteen." He says before jumping to fight the Villains
Midoriya stands half turned towards the exit and half towards the fight causing that car like boy to call for him, "This is no time for analysis! Hurry up and take shelter!" He calls out to Midoriya before continuing to run.
Running along 13 We both spot that Bloody mist coming out of the ground, Like a living mine, Causing 13 to jump slightly as we stop ahead of it, "I won't let you." It speaks from somewhere, "Nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains. It may be Presumptuous of us, But we have invited ourselves in to the home of the heroes, U.A. High school, in order to have All Might, The Symbol of peace, take his last breath."
Raising my Halligan bar, hoping i can be ready for whatever this misty villain will throw at us next while it finishes it's monolouge, Imeideietly two boys jump towards the mist "Of course they do, Their as smart as a pile of Bricks" Causing a huge explosion and subsequent cloud of smoke from one of the two, while the other boasts, making me cringe at their stupidity
"No!, Move away, you two!" Thirteen calls out to the troublesom duo, opening a hatch in their glove's fingers. Before any of us can react we are surrounded from all sides by this mist Villain, Quickly I grab onto the closest student to me In a vain attempt at protecting at least One of them As we are all buffered by the sudden winds coming out of nowhere.
Conflagration Zone
"[FOOOK MY LIFE]" I scream as I fall flat on my face, After being ejected from a cloud of mist, Along with the student i grabbed onto. Noticing my current surroundings being engulfed in flames and also being in a suburban area, I quickly don my breathing aparatus pulling the hood over the resperator and fastening my helmet buckle, "What's your name?"
"Ojiro Sir" The student with a tail, Now known as Ojiro replies as Villains emerge from the surrounding area
"You any good at fighting?" I ask holding my halligan bar as if my life depended on it, Well for the moment it does
"Fairly good sir, But we can't fight the Villains, Only in self defence" Ojiro says concerned looking around at the growing group of Villains
"Well they entered a restricted area, Openly admitted to planning to kill someone" I say slightly muffled through the mask as the air supply hangs unconnected over my shoulder, "So I think we are in our rights to have a little scrap with these idiots, And if not, Just blame the Brit" I end grinning under the mask as one of the Villains step forwards confidently.
"Never killed a firefighter before" He says cracking his purple fists, "This is gonna be fun"
Ojiro jumps forwards towards the Villain using his tail combined with his martial arts skills starting the battle. Running while swinging the Hallagand Bar like a baseball bat at the closest villain, Catching him unprepared with Close-ranged attack by jumping over a small fire, Aiming for his head before getting closer and ramming the hooked end into his stomach, dropping him to the floor, Winded. "One down, A few more to go" I announce mostly to myself as Ojiro fights someone with a cloak on Whilst I jump back into the fray.
Charging at one of the Villains who is attacking Ojiro, Slamming into his side shoulder first sends us both to the floor, Rolling to my feet clumsly as the Villain tries to recover after being Rammed with a combined weight of 120 kilos of man and equiptment. Kicking the Villain while he's down with my steel-capped boots must've hurt a lot, Deserved nonetheless but, Must've hurt some
"Got You!" A Villain shouts from behind lunging at me, knocked off balance by the surprise attack, swinging the hooked end of the Halligand bar in a large ark in his general direction, In an attempt to ward him off a little, Causing him to jump back a bit as he holds a knife in his left hand before retreating into a nearby burning building
"Oh no you don't" I say, Quickly opening my air supply valve and attaching it to my resperator before folliwing in persuit breifly looking over to Ojiro, Who surprisingly has taken down a few of the Villains already at that point
Using my Quirk to see through the flame and thick, Black smoke that engulfs me and the room I'm in, Tripping over some lose gravel on the floor I catch myself grabbing my side a I wince, "Ow that... hurt?" I think to myself deactivating my Quirk and looking at my hand... That has Blood on it "Why is there Blood? Where did it come from?, Why do I feel tired?"
Dropping to the floor resting against a wall I look down, casting my helmet lamp onto my uniform, There is a hole, "Why is there a hole? When did it get there?", Holding onto my side trying in vain to keep my wound closed as things go dark and a shrill whistle sounds in the black
With Ojiro and Powerloader
"I will handle the rest from here Boy, Go meet up with the rest of your class" Powerloader tells Ojiro pointing to the exit, Surronded by the defeated forms of Villains.
As Ojiro leaves powerloader hears a faint wistling emminating from a nearby building, Entering the building to find the source, Room by room of the charred building, The faint wistling turning into a warballing screach as looks into a room, With a key difference to the previous rooms, A person slumped against a wall, With blood pooling around his torso, Seeping from a hole in the uniform, "NEED PARAMEDICS IN THE CONFLAGRATION ZONE IMEIDEIETLY" Cuts across the radio channels with a deathening silence following it
With Class 1-A
"Hey Guys did the Firefighter come out with you?" Ojiro asks the rest of the class as they stand outside of the enterance to the USJ
"No, We thought he was with you" Uraraka says confused, "Does that mean he's still in there?"
"Maybe" Iida says looking at the enterance as two paramedics rush out of the door carrying a stretcher... With a familiar black uniformed figure laying on the top... Arm dangling off the side limply, dripping blood
Uraraka covers her mouth in shock, Her eyes widening as the paramedics quickly load the stretcher into an ambulance, Pointing as the doors are slammed shut and the sirens blare as it speeds away "Was that"
"Yes" Iida responds in shock, Along with most of the class who saw what transpired as an Detective* walks over to them and starts counting before looking up
"Other than the boy with both legs seriously injured, Everyone else in the class seems unharmed" The Detective* says causing some confusion
"Let's have the students return to their classroom for now " The decetcive* says walking back over to them talking to a fellow officer, "We won't be questioning them right away, anyway, right?"
"Detective, What about and the firefighter?" Asui asks confused
"Comminuted fractures in both arms and a facial fracture. Fortunatly, there does not seem to be any serious brain damage. However, his orbital floor has broken into small pieces, and his eyes may suffer from its aftereffects." The voice lists off from the phone before continuing, " serious dehydration, severe heat cramps, heat exaustion across the entire body. second degre burns localised in the lower right abdoman, A puncture wound in the lower right abdoman and Blood loss along with accute axphixiation."
(A/N I am not very certain on my medical knowlage but he was stabbed with a 11cm or 4 inch blade and was exposed to fire for about an hour)
"That's what he said." The detective* says as a sense of dread comes over the students
"What about Thirteen?" Ashido asks the detective* concerned
"Thirteen has been treated. The Lacerations from the back to the upper arm was bad, but Thirteen will survive" The Detective* answers as the student breath a sigh of releif, "All Might will also survive. Recovery Girl's healing is enough to treat him, so he's in the nurse's office"
"Deku" Uraraka asks followed by a simmilar question from Iida
"Midori...? Oh, treatment in the nurse's office is enough for him, too." The Detective says after some confusion as the class is relieved, "Now, go back to your classroom." the Detective asks followed by an 'Okay'
In the Nurse's office
"Because of the situation this time, I can't really scold you..." Recovery Girl tells both Midoriya and All Might in his 'true' form
"I'm not sure, but I think I might've shortened the time limit of my hero form again." All Might says in his deflated state, "I hope I still have at least an hour..."
"All Might..." Midoriya says concerned
"Well, it can't be helped. These things happen." All Might says sitting up in his bed as a breif moment of silence surronds the room
"Exuse me. All Might, it's been a while." The Detective* says walking into the office
"Tsukauchi! You're here, too?" All Might says in surprise, blood spraying from his mouth as Midoriya jumps up as well
"All Might! Is it all right to show that form...?" Midoriya asks concerned
"Yeah, it's fine." All Might reassures Midoriya, "Why? Because he's Naomasa Tsukauchi, my best friend in the force."
"What's with that introduction? Sorry to cut to the chase, but All Might, can you give me details about the Vill-" the Detective asks before being cut off by All Might
"Wait! Please, wait! More importantly, are all the students okay? What about Aizawa—Eraser Head—and thirteen?" All Might asks concerned
"Other than that boy, only a few students had light injuries, and the two teachers are in stable condition for now As is the firefighter" The Detective* says before continuing, "If you three heroes had not risked your lives, then the students would not have survived and the firefighter would be long dead."
"You're wrong about one thing, Tsukauchi. The students also fought and risked their lives." All Might says
"All Might..." Midoriya says in shock
"Have there even been any first-years who experienced a real fight so soon, survived, and learned of fear and the world of adults? The Villains did something dumb. This class is strong. They will become strong heroes." All Might says looking out of the window at the glowing sky of a sunset, "I am certain of that.
A/N
I hope you enjoyed this chapter
the reason I wanted to put the USJ attack in one chapter was part due to time constraints and part due to how I write characters in established plot lines, Like BNHA, I don't like OP characters as they just rub me in the wrong way if they are done wrong (unfortunately like most of the time) but I could not see a firefighter doing all that well against Villains, But I'll leave the rest of it up to you in reviews.
If you think it was complete Shit then tell me why
Review and follow if you want
Hot-Head* - a derogarative nickname for Firefighters by heroes (as they are doing their job but worse in a way)
Detective* - I originally intended to use Inspector (as I am British) but the Sub uses Detective so... the show must go on
Halligan bar – a breaching tool used by law enforcement and firefighters, It commonly has a hooked part at one end and a crowbar at the other and is made of steel or a similar material
