OHOHOHOHO! SO I HEAR YA'LL LIKED THE LAST CHAPTER!
THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!
I LOVE HEARING YOUR FEELINGS!
Now here's the next chapter, and please... don't be mad! TEEHEE.
"UUUUuuuugh..." Uraraka threw up into a near by barrel as she pushed herself to the limit the next day with the others. Izuku watched on in horror, and held out a bottle of water to her. "I shouldn't have eaten so much cake last night..." she said with a groan as she hurled again into the barrel again. "I can't go on... Keep my ashes for me..." she groaned to Izuku who smiled nervously.
"You're doing great though! Y-You can already move way more stuff with your quirk for longer!" She told her friend, trying to cheer her up by rubbing her back. "You've got this!"
"Urgh... My angel..." Uraraka groaned out again before taking the water from her.
Izuku went back to her own training, today it was for her legs, as she was forced to use them to push weights up and down, groning. She felt like throwing up herself now, and could feel the strain on her muscles starting to tear like Tiger wanted them too. She finished her reps, taking another breather, before she saw Aizawa pass by her.
"Uhm, sensei...?" She called out, and he stopped to look at her as she got up to her feet, drying her face off with a towel. "I was wondering... It's the third day right...? Is All Might... Ah, I mean the other teachers, are they not coming?" she asked him curiously. She was wondering why there were so few teachers around for a while now.
"Like I said before we left," Aizawa sighed out, and put his hands in his pockets. "In order to prevent the enemy from anticipating our movements, we left with only the bare minimum amount of personnel needed. We especially had All Might stay back, because we believe he's one of the enemy's targets. For better or for worse, that guy gets in those situations because he stands out."
"I see," Izuku said, looking down at the ground. Their sensei had a point, the USJ incident happened because of All Might, and that was who the Hero Killer was looking for because he wanted All Might to be the one to end him... "That's fair."
"Meow meow meooooow! Allow me to change the topic!" Pixie-bob said excitedly as she stepped in next, and Izuku and Aizawa looked up at her. Some of the other students near by also looked up to her in interest, pausing their actions. "Let's talk about tonight's plans! We're doing and inter-class test of courage! After training hard, you get to play hard! See?! Carrot and stick!" She said excitedly, spinning around in a circle.
"Great, more terrifying activities..." Kirishima said with a groan, he was starting to blend in with the rocks around him from his hardening quirk.
"I'm rather interested in the inter-class aspect..." Monoma said with a dark laugh as he tapped Kirishima on the leg, and began hardening himself.
"With that said, TRAIN YOUR HEARTS OUT!" Pixie-bob shouted loudly with happiness, and both classes groaned out.
"Hmm.." Izuku lay back on the ground again, sweat dripping off her face as she continued training the strength in her legs, pushing up a set of weights that were 4 times her own weight while using one for all. She was thinking about what Aizawa said about All Might, and she looked up at the sky, before seeing Katsuki looking over at her from his area. She smiled at him warmly, waving before he exploded the barrel of hot water he had his hand in. "WHAAA! Kacchan, are you alright?!" She cried out, dropping the weights with a thunk to get up.
"ZIP UP YOUR JACKET!" He shouted over at her, his face red. She stopped, and looked down at herself. She had unzipped it because she was boiling, but forgot she was only wearing her sports bra underneath. She wondered what the big deal was, seeing as the other girls had also donned the same appearance, especially Yaoyorozu who was creating small objects like crazy. She looked back at him with her eyebrows raised in question. He stormed over to her as she got up, and grabbed the zipped on her jacket, before zipping it up to her chin.
"K-Kacchan... I'm hooot...!" She groaned out, and he grabbed a bottle of cold water and dumped it on her head, making her cry out in surprise. "WHAAA!"
"Just keep it zipped up!" He told her with a grumble, "I don't want that pervert looking at you, alright...? Or anyone else!" He glared in the direction of his classmates and Izuku sighed.
"It's not a big deal, relax." She told him, patting his arm gently.
"I just..." He groaned out in frustration and ruffled his hair with his hands in anger. "... It's also distracting me, alright?!"
"What..?" Izuku blushed a bit as he said that. "Why...?"
"YOU KNOW WHY!" He snapped, before storming away. She felt her whole body go red in realization, and decided maybe leaving her jacket zipped was probably the best course of action.
After their training, the class went to bathe and change for the evening. Izuku sighed out as she dried her hair in the girls room, before letting Asui tie it up into a bow style on her head again. She smiled warmly as she pulled on a pair of shorts again, and a soft pink blouse with puffy sleeves, before she headed outside with the rest of the class to make their dinner for the eavning.
"Wow, Bakugo, you're knife skills are pretty amazing," Uraraka said as she leaned over the table to see him cutting the meet with precision and speed. "That's so unexpected!"
"SHUT UP!" He snapped at the brunette as he began cutting it faster and looking at her. "Did you expect me to fucking suck at this or something?!"
"Well yeah," Uraraka said flatly, before running away as he threatened to throw his knife at her. Izuku laughed a bit as she walked pat her friend towards the table where they were cutting food, and she picked up a pair of gloves.
"Everyone has too much energy..." Kirishima groaned out as he cut some vegtables. "How do you know how to cook anyways...?" He looked over at Katsuki who was fuming with anger.
"His mother taught him." Izuku said with a bright warm smile. "She's an amazing cook, he always used to bring the best bento boxes to school, her cooking melts in your mouth."
"Urgh..." Katsuki groaned out as he looked at her. "That old hag's food sucks, mines way fucking better." He said as he moved onto the next piece of meat.
"That's pretty awesome, gotta admit." Kirishima said with a big grin. "Very manly! What about you, Izuku?"
"I uhm... I dunno." Izuku shrugged her shoulders. "I cook at home some times... I guess I'm better at baking, but no where near as good as Sato." Izuku smiled over at the red head who grinned back.
"Wow, if you make cookies let me try some!" He said excitedly, before a knife was stabbed into the cutting board in front of him, and he looked up nervously at an angry Katsuki. "Wh-what? You don't even like sweets!"
"tch." Katsuki clicked his tongue in anger, before he walked off with the meat. Izuku let out a small laugh, and looked over at Kirishima.
"I'll give you some, some time." she told him with a smile, before heading to the fire. She was in charge of the wood for the grill, so she pulled the fire resistant gloves on her hands and began putting some wood into the grill.
"Hey," Todoroki was one over from her and she looked over at him. "I heard you talking to sensei earlier, Did you want to talk to All Might or something...?" He asked curiously, lighting her wood on fire for her.
"Oh... Yeah." Izuku said with a small smile as she continued to toss in some wood. "I just... I had a question about Kouta..."
"Who the heck is that...?" Todoroki asked flatly and Izuku looked at him, wondering if he was kidding.
"Uhm... The little boy," She said with a grin before looking around for him. She couldn't see Kouta at all, and let out a sigh, wondering if he was at his secret base again. Maybe having all these future heroes around was really irritating, and Izuku let out a sigh as she looked at the flames on the grill.
"Kouta... He doesn't like Heroes... Or I guess I should say all of the Hero society and quirks I guess... I don't know what to say to him that'll make him feel better or help him out..." She looked up at the sky, and started thinking a bit. "I figured... Maybe All might would be able to find the words to say... What would you say, Shouchan?" She looked over at Todoroki who looked serious.
"... It depends." He said in a flat tone, and Izuku let out a nervous laugh. "For complete strangers like us to just start pushing our own reasoning on him, he'd find us pretentious. If by chance he were the type to be moved by just words, then his hatred would only be skin-deep." Todoroki stood up from beside her, brushing his pants off. She looked up at him as he let out a sigh, "I think... The most important thing is to tell him were doing is for the sake of Humanity. I believe, that with words come actions."
"... Yeah," Izuku looked down at her gloves and pulled them off as she too stood up. "That's true, there's little a stranger can say to sway him I guess... I was just worried about him..." She let out a laugh.
"I don't know why you are, but sticking your nose into a delicate matter like that is... well... You know..." Todoroki stopped and crossed his arms as he looked at her. "But, if it's you... You're the type who just breaks down barriers with out thinking twice, no matter the subject."
"Uhmm..." Izuku blushed a bit as she looked at Todoroki. "... My bad...?" She asked nervously, and he grinned at her before patting her on the head. She watched him walk off before she went to help the others finish with dinner.
Izuku sat next to Katsuki at the end of the table, and was eating the stew the class made together. She smiled brightly as she swallowed the first delicious bite, and grinned at the others. "This is so great! Good job everyone!" She said happily, before looking up at Katsuki. "The meat is the perfect size too,"
"Shut up.." He grumbled out, looking away from her with a small blush on his cheeks. She giggled a bit as she continued to eat her meal beside him, and hummed happily.
After the class finished their meal, they all cleaned up the dishes, before gathering near the forest, chatting excitedly.
"Ooooh, I can't wait!" Uraraka was shaking. "I'm so excited! This will be so fun!"
"Ochachan... Your face doesn't match what you're saying..." Izuku said with a small laugh, pointing at her friend.
"You don't look so happy either," Uraraka said, looking back at the nervous Izuku.
"THE TEST OF COURAGE!" Ashido shouted with excitement, pumping her fist in the air. "This is gunna be awesome!"
"Before that," Aizawa spoke up, his hands in his pockets. "And it pains me to say this, but the remdial bunch are going to have a review lesson with me, starting now." He let out a sigh as Ashido screamed in horror, and used his restraining bandages to catch both her, Sato, Sero, Kaminari and Kirishima to drag them off to the building. "Yes yes, it sucks. I know..."
"Ashido..." Izuku frowned as the others were dragged off forcibly, and she felt pretty bad for them.
"HEY HEY!" Ragdoll got their attention up from and Izuku turned to look to look at the pussycats up front. "So here we have it! The Class-B student will be up first at scaring people! Class A will divide into pairs of two and leave every three minutes! In the middle of the rout, there'll be a card with your name written on it, take it back with you as proof!"
"The scaring group isn't allowed to directly touch anyone, but scaring tactics using any and all available quirks are permitted!" Madalei said with a grin form the front.
"The winner will be the class that not only makes the most of their creativity bu also makes the most people piss their pants with fright!" Tiger said with a broad grin and a cute pose.
"So cute, Kero." Asui said with a grin, and Izuku let out a small laugh.
"Wait... Pairs of two?" Izuku asked, and counted on her fingers. "But Sensei took 5 of us with him... So some one will be alone...?" She looked up as everyone started drawing lots. Izuku drew her paper from the box, and saw the big red dot on it instead of a number like the rest.
"What?! Deku-chan can't be alone!" Uraraka cried out with horror.
"Some one actually got a red dot... and it was Midoriya..." Oijiro said with a nervous sweat.
"I-It's okay..." Izuku looked up with a panicked nervous smile that showed how scared she was. "I-I'll go alone, it's alright..." She felt tears of fear burn in her eyes, she was never one for ghosts or horror stories. "Y-Y-You guys have fun!"
"No way." Katsuki said with a growl, he was paired up with Todoroki who looked moderately bored. "You're not going alone! You're terrified of ghosts!"
"K-Kacchan..." Izuku started to tremble, before some one poked her in the back. She let out a scream, and turned around to look at Uraraka who was frowning at her. The whole class looked on as if she was a bunny who got lost in a street, worried for her safety. "O-Ochachan! D-don't do that!"
"You've gone up against murderers, and yet you're scared of ghosts...?" Uraraka asked with her own shaky tone.
"Guh..." Izuku looked down at the ground, "GHOSTS ARE WAY SCARIER THAN VILLAINS! YOU CAN HIT A MURDERER, YOU CAN'T HIT A GHOST!" She cried out in horror, putting her hands on her face to hide her embarrassment.
"She's not wrong," Asui croaked out to Uraraka, the both of them had gotten paired up. "What made you so scared of ghosts?"
"Wh-when I was in elementary school we did a test of courage... and this exploding ghost came at me out of the woods... The ghost had a horrible look on his face, it was so scary I fainted..." Izuku cried out into her hands and the whole class looked to Katsuki who was sweating nervously, looking away from them all.
"Izuku..." Todoroki was beside her, and took her paper, giving her one with a number on it that matched Katsuki's. "Go pair up with Bakugo over there, I'll go alone." He told her, and patted her head gently.
"Sh-shouchan..." she looked up at him, her eyes shining. "Th-thank you...!" She hugged him tightly and he blushed a bit.
"Okay enough," Katsuki snapped, and Izuku let go of Todoroki. She looked up at him as he held out his hand, "It's almost our turn, Tokoyami and Shouji already left." He told her as they laced their hands together.
"If anything is scarier than a murderer it's that guy on a mission." Uararka said to Todoroki who nodded his head.
"I'd rather go alone than with him anyways," The boy sighed out, shaking his head. "He better thank me later for this shit though, I heard him grumble about wanting to be with her anyways."
"You're such a nice guy!" Iida said behind the boy who shrugged.
"Not nice enough," He said as he watched Izuku wipe her tears of fear away from her eyes.
Izuku held onto Katsuki's hand tightly as they walked out into the forest, looking around as they went. Every branch creaking in the wind made her flinch, and some leaves rustling made her wrap her arms around his, hugging it tightly as they walked.
"There's no reason to be so scared," He said with a raised eyebrow down at her. "It's just those class B idiots out there, stop freaking out."
"But.." She hugged his arm tightly against her chest, and looked up at him. "Sorry, I just... really don't like ghosts... Kacchan? Why is your face so red?" She asked him, seeing a bright red blush on his cheeks as he looked down into her eyes.
"Idiot..." He muttered down at her, looking away and trying to ignore the fact that his arm was pressing between her breasts. "Just let go, already!"
"B-But Kacchan!" she bit her lip, hugging his arm tightly. "I-I'm scared!"
"Idiot, so am I!" He told her, pulling his arm free quickly.
"What..?" Izuku asked him curiously, and brought her hands to her chest. "What are you scared of...?"
Katsuki looked over at her and she felt her cheeks turn pink as he looked at her with serious eyes and his own soft blush on his cheeks. He reached a hand out to grab one of hers, and turned off the path and headed off into the bushes. "Fuck this shit, I don't wanna do no goddamn test of courage." He grunted out.
"K-kacchan...?" She looked up at his head, wondering where they were going, before she tripped on a branch. She cried out as she knocked into him, and the both of them tumbled to the ground down a small slope. "O-Ouch... Kacchan are you alright...?" She asked, feeling the cold ground on her back. She heard him groan as he pushed himself up off of her. Izuku blushed a bright red as she looked up at him as he hovered over her on the ground.
"Fuck... This is what I was worried about." He said in a low voice, looking down at her eyes.
"What...? Why?" She asked him. She saw his eyes look away from her for a second, before she felt the arms on either side of her her shift a bit, before he looked back into her eyes.
"Because you're too fucking adorable, and I want to eat you up..." His voice was low, and she felt her cheeks heat up a bright red. "That's why, idiot. And now we're like this, so I give up." He told her, before he leaned down and kissed her lips hungrily. She closer her eyes, as she reached her hands up to grab his shirt tightly. She felt one of his hands touch her hair so gently, before he pulled his lips from hers and looked into her eyes. "Your cheeks are all red."
"d-don't tease me..." She said, looking away from him nervously, and she heard him chuckle. The sound made her ears warm now, before she felt him place a kiss on her ear. "aah! That tickles!" She cried out, and heard him chuckle again. "C-cut it out..."
"No," He told her and she looked up at him, blushing still. His eyes were serious like before and she shivered nervously. "I like seeing you squirm under me."
"th-that's not a very hero like thing to say!" She cried out softly before he laughed again at her.
"I don't care, Hero or Villain, if I've got you in my arms I'm happy." He told her seriously, before he leaned down to kiss her one more time. His words had made her chest fill with warmth while he touched her hair gently with one hand, the other holding himself up off the ground, before he pulled his lips from hers and kissed her jaw line.
"TH-the test of courage though..." she said in a small voice, and looked up t him. "We can't skip it..."
"Fuck that..." Katsuk said with a grumble before he kissed her throat again. "I don't give a shit about damn thing... You're more important." He told her, before his head snapped up, a look of confusion on his face. "... Hey... Do you smell that...?"
"What...?" She looked up at him, and he sat up, looking around them in a panic as he did. Izuku sat up, and sniffed the air. She could smell it too, the distant faint smell... "GAS." she said in a panic, and felt a hand clap over her mouth. She looked up at Katsuki who had covered her mouth for her, and his own as he looked around too.
"The fuck, why is there gas...?!" Katsuki shouted as they both got up, and started running out of the bushes. When they stumbled out, Todoroki was there, and looked at them with raised eyebrows.
"What were you two doing...?" He asked skeptically, but looked away. "Never mind, I don't want to know."
"There's gas..!" Izuku said, pulling Katsuki's hand off her face. "We have to run!"
"EVERYONE!" The three of them stopped instantly, hearing Mandalei's voice in their heads. "Two villains have invaded the area! It's possible there are still more lurking in the shadows!" Izuku paled in horror, and looked at the others with wide eyes. "Those who are capable, head immediately to the Facility! If you should come face to face with the enemy, do not engage them in combat! Continue your retreat!"
"Oh my god..." Izuku clenched her fists, and the other two both looked at each other, expressions of uncertainty on their faces. "Kouta... He wasn't there when we were all gathered...!" She turned her head in the direction she knew his secret base was in. "I have to go get him!" She turned her body to run, but felt two pairs of hands grab her.
"No! You're not going alone!" Katsuki snapped at her, and Todoroki nodded his head in agreement. Izuku ground her teeth together and yanked free.
"I'm just going to go grab him then head to the lodge!" She told them, clenching her fists tightly. "You guys are both powerful fighters and can move quickly too. We need to get the others out of here, they might need our help!" She shouted at them, her eyes serious and glowing green already. "I'm the only one who knows where he is, you guys can circle back and help everyone out!"
"I'm not letting you take off into a forest of villains by yourself!" Katsuki shouted at her, a look of anguish on his face. Izuku looked up at him, and she shook off their hands that held her, before she grabbed Katsuki by both cheeks, and pulled his face to hers to kiss him deeply. Katsuki's eyes widened in shock at this, before she let go of his face.
"I'm sorry, but I'm the only one who can do this. I can move fast and silently by myself, you guys have to help the others out." she told him, and looked into his eyes. "I'll be okay, I have my phone with me... I'm just going to grab Kouta, then head for safety."
"Izuku..." Katsuki was stunned by how forceful she was with her kiss, and she smiled at him warmly, before she glowed golden with her quirk. She turned quickly, and before they could grab her gain, she shot off the ground and through the forest, out of their sight.
"... Dude, your girlfriend just out smarted us and bounced off." Todoroki sighed out, pointing after her disappearing form.
"SHUT UP!" Katsuki snapped at him. "Let's get out of here, then I'm going to knock some sense into her when I find her!" He growled out, unable to shake the worry in his chest.
"Knock some sense into her, or kiss some sense into her?" Todoroki asked, looking at the exploding boy with a raised eyebrow.
"I'LL MURDER YOU!" Katsuki shouted at him.
"Kouta... kouta please be okay..." Izuku thought to herself as she bounced off the trees towards the cliff she knew he had to be at. She had to be quick, she was going to grab him then get to safety, she could hear yelling and the sounds of battle from their starting point. She focused her power in her legs, and saw the cliff coming up quick.
"DAD...! MOM...!" She heard a terrified cry from above, and her eyes widened in fear, as she slid across the ground to a stop, before taking off with all her power to launch herself up the cliff. She saw it... A villain in a cloak was there as she got up over the cliff, and she spotted Kouta as the villain went in for a punch.
"KOUTA!" She screamed out, and dived to grab him, the villains attack narrowly missing her as she slid to a stop on the ground before tumbling across it with the force of power she used. She groaned as she held the little boy in her arms from harm till they came to a full stop, and she let go of him, letting him go to get up.
"Why...?!" She heard him cry out as she pushed herself up, and gasped for air, as she scrambled to her feet.
"Hoooh?! It's the little girl from the archive list!" The villain called out to her as she got up, and she groaned as she wiped bit of blood off her brow from her tumble. Her eyes flicked to look at the ground as she saw her cellphone shattered on it. Her eyes went back to the man in front of her as she sized him up, he was huge and had a horrible scar on his face and a robotic left eye.
"Shit... I should have brought one of the with me... damnit." Izuku cursed at herself as she looked at the man, "Now my phone's broken... All that's standing in this villains way is me... This must be the villain alliance again..." Izuku looked behind herself at a sobbing Kouta, and her eyes went wide, at the realization she had to protect him as well as face this villain. She clenched her fists, before she charged one for all through her body again, the golden glow, the crackling red electricity. She smiled back t Kouta warmly, before turning her fierce glowing eyes on the man in front of her. "It's gunna be alright, Kouta... I'll get you out of here, no matter what." She told him, turning her grin of anger on the villain now.
"Haha, what?" The villain laughed at her, and she clenched her fists tightly, ready to attack. "Gunna save him no matter what, hmm? As expected of a hero candidate, ready to fight a big nasty guy like me, what's a little girl like you gunna do?" The man chuckled again, "You're Midoriya, right? I guess this is pretty good timing, I've been ordered to starting killing bugs off with you, but maybe I'll take you back with me to torture that cute little face."
The man threw his cloak off with a swirl, revealing the muscles on his arm as they squirmed about. Izuku's eyes widened at the sight, this guy was ordered to kill her and the others? She ground her teeth together as he glared at her. "But before I do any of that.. I wanna make you bleed!"
Her eyes widened as he disappeared from her sight, and she was shocked by the speed at which he did it with. She turned her head, to see him just before he hit her in the left arm, and she was slammed into the mountainside with a boom. She bit back her cries of pain as she felt the rock crumble around her, before looking at him. She glared as he approached her, and her eyes widened.
"I almost forgot... Before I kill you..." He glared at her, an murderous smile on his face. "Where's the Bakugou kid...? After all, I've got a job first and foremost."
"Huh...?" She looked up at him, wondering what he wanted with Katsuki, her eyes wide as his fist came at her. She gripped her left arm with her right hand, and kicked off out of the way of his attack. Why Katsuki? What did these villains want with her boyfriend?
"You can just say I don't know" The man laughed as he came out of the dust at her. "That okay with you? Let's play!" He shouted, and she felt his foot connect with her stomach, and she slammed into the mountainside again, before hitting the ground.
"Haa... haa..." She spit blood out on the ground, trying to get up. Why? Why her Katsuki? What was their plan? She looked over at him, blood dripping down her face and in her eyes.
"WHOOOOHAHAHAHA! BLOOD! THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Now we're really having fun, huh girly?!" He yelled at her with a laugh. She tried to move her left arm, it was bruised and ached horribly. She groaned as she glared at him again. "WHAT A FACE! I LOVE IT! Now, what was it you said?! You'll get him outta here no matter what?!"
"urrgh..." She stared at his crazy muscles, his quirk was much different than hers, but hit hard. She didn't have time to worry about Katsuki right now, she had to get Kouta out of there, and concentrate on the enemy in front of her. She felt her whole body pulse with power, before she kicked off the ground at the villain, charging her right fist with all her being, before she aimed her punch at him. The wind that it blew didn't even faze him, nor did her attack. She groaned out as she looked up at him with angry eyes.
"Is this it...? I guess it's pretty strong for a girl, some decent speed too... BUT NOT ENOUGH POWER!" He batted her away like a moth, and she slid across the ground on her back, feeling her shirt rip a bit and her skin get cut by the rocks.
"My muscle quirk is augmentation! I can make my muscle fibres do anything like grant me speed or strength! What do you say to that?! What else you got?! NOTHING! BECAUSE YOU'RE INFERIOR! YOU'RE A STUPID GIRL PLAYING AT BEING A HERO!" The man yelled at her as she rolled on her side, huffing in pain as she tried to push herself up. "YOU THINK I LIKE BEATING UP GIRLS?! YOU'RE RIGHT! I LIKE SEEING YOU SQUIRM! YOU'LL SAVE THIS KID?! DON'T MAKE ME LAGUH! HAHA! YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT STAYING ALIVE!"
Izuku turned her head, looking up at the villain that had his monstrous arm raised above her, ready to crush her in a second. She clenched her fist, glaring up at him as he did, before he stopped, and turned to look behind him. She heard a rock clink against the ground, and she looked behind him as well, her eyes wide with horror.
"Water Horse..." Kouta sobbed out. "My mom and dad... Did you..." She felt her heart ache with pain as the little boy shed tears as he faced the villain. "Did you torment them like that before you killed them too...?" Izuku felt her being pulse with rage at the realization, was this the villain that killed his parents?
"Whats this now? Those heroes' kid? This must be fate!" The villain laughed. "Water Horse. Those were the two that gave me this eye here!" He tapped his robotic eye.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Kouta yelled at the villain, as Izuku tried to get up off the groun. She needed to stop him, this guy was going to kill him... "IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT THINGS ALWAYS TURN OUT LIKE THIS!" The boy was yelling, tears still spilling everywhere as he did.
"Snot nosed punks like you are always looking to pass blame." The villain scoffed at Kouta, "That's no good. I'm not holding any grudges about my eye you know? I simply wanted to kill! Those two wanted to stop me, and our desires intersected. What happened was simply luck. The ones at fault are the ones who try to act even though they're incapable of doing anything." The villain started walking towards Kouta, and his muscle fibre started moving. Izuku kicked off the ground, her eyes wide with anger. "THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP YOUR PATHETIC MOM AND DAD!" The man yelled loudly, moving to crush Kouta with his hand, before his head snapped to look at her, as she ran along the mountainside at top speed. "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, LITTLE GIRLY?!"
"NO!" Izuku shouted, feeling One for All exploding in her muscles with power. "THE FAULT IS YOURS!" She screamed at him, before balling her left fist up. She had to use her bad arm first, she needed to get in a hit, and help wasn't on it's way, why had she left that gps in her bag?! She aimed her left fist at his head, but it was caught in his muscle fibres... Perfect.
"Hah... Now I don't have to worry about speed gaps..." she grinned at him in anger, blood clouding her vision as she pulled her right fist back.
"What?! You gunna hit me with your other girly arm?!" The man laughed at her.
"It's not a matter of being a girl or not, or what you can or can't do... For a Hero... IT'S RISKING OUR LIVES!" She channeled her power in her hand, and it crackled as her whole body sparked red and gold. "AND WALKING THE WALK IS OUR JOB!" She screamed at the man, before cracking him in the head with all her power. The resulting blast of wind was crazy, and she felt her left arm come free. She kicked off the man, and heard Kouta scream from the cliff side, and she bounced in that direction, reaching her left arm out before grabbing the back of the boys shirt as he was blown off the cliff.
"HAAAA!" She groaned as she pulled him up, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to send YOU flying..." She laughed nervously as she pulled him back onto the cliff. She stood up, setting Kouta on the ground before she turned her head to look back at the enemy. Her right sleeve was blown off, and her whole body was covered in cuts, blood and bruises. She used her bruised left hand to wipe blood off her face, and looked down at her right arm, seeing the massive bruising all over it. She moved her fingers, feeling none were broken... "We gotta get out of here... Let's head to the lodge..." she said as she crouched down to pick Kouta up, but stopped as she heard rock moving. "... No way..." Her eyes were wide as she saw the man pull himself out of the rubble. "Even at 100%...?" She stood up, clenching her fists as she stood in front of Kouta protectively.
"Wheeew, Nice punch there, Midoriya!" The man got up, and she felt herself shudder with fear a bit. She still couldn't believe he had withstood her whole power.
"STAY BACK!" she shouted at him, steadying herself to attack.
"Now now, that's no fun!" The man grinned at her. "You're Mine now, I like a girl who can hit!"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" Izuku shouted back at him, trying to buy a bit of time to think. "WHAT DOES THE LEAGUE OF VILLAINS WANT FROM US?!"
"Fuck if I know," the man shrugged. "I just tear shit apart, as long as I have fun I don't care. Did you forget we're just playing a game? But I'm done with that, You're much stronger than I thought... It's time for my serious face..." He said as he put a different eye in his socket.
"KOUTA GRAB ONTO ME!" She shouted, not looking back, She heard him question her, before she grabbed his arm, and pulled it over her shoulder. She felt his tiny arms wrap around her tightly as she kicked off the ground into the air over the villain as he smashed apart the cliff they were standing on. She looked back, her blood still clouding her left eye as she landed on the mountainside with her feet, and kicked back as she saw him turn to look at them. This guy was just playing a game, he's was trying to kill them both for fun, and that scared her down to her core. "KOUTA, ROLL!" She shouted as she dropped to the ground when the villain launched at them again, and she groaned out as she hit the rock, and looked up to see Kouta roll away. "Damnit..." She groaned as she got up to her feet, and clenched her fists tightly. She had to get him back to the lodge, Their sensei was there, he'd be able to erase this guys quirk...
Could they get back with out him catching up...? No, there was no way... Even under normal circumstances it would be tough to make it back quickly... She had to fight... She had to win... She had no choice. She was here to learn to save people, she had to do her job... She was going to be a hero...
"Kouta, get back..." She groaned as she stood up fully and clenched her fists. "Not to far from me or he'll aim for you... about seven steps... When I clash with him run back to the lodge as fast as you can..."
"Wait..." She heard Kouta's tears in his voice. "You're not really gonna take him on are you...?! It's useless! Your attacks didn't even have any effect on him... and now... Y-You're all bruises... You're bleeding, there's no way...!"
"I'm okay!" Izuku clenched her fists tightly, channelling all of One for all through out her body, at full blast as the villain came at them with all his power. "DETROIT SMASH!" She screamed out, punching into the villains muscles, as he used his strength to push her back, her heels digging into the dirt as she held her ground. She groaned in pain as she held One for All steadily through out her whole body.
"THAT WAS EVEN WEAKER THAN BEFORE!" The villain laughed evilly above her as he tried to crush her into the rock.
"I'M OKAY!" She shouted, "THERES NO WAY HE'S GETTING PAST ME!" She shouted as she moved her legs, pushing back against the villain. "SO RUN! RUN AWAY!" She shouted back to Kouta, She felt her tears burn her eyes as her muscles tore in arms and legs. She felt her legs give out as the villain slammed her into the ground, and she pushed back with all her power as he tried to crush her. He was a mass of muscle fibres, and her tears cleared away some of the blood.
"THIS IS SO FUN!" The villain cackled loudly as he kept crushing her into the rock.
"SHUT UP... SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUUUP!" She screamed at him, but he slammed her further into the rock. She felt her whole body ache, then she thought of her mother... All Might... Katsuki... She didn't want that to be the last time she saw him, and these guys were after him, they wanted him for some reason... She had to win... She was jerked out of her thoughts as water hit her and the villain, and she chanced a glance back at Kouta to see him using his water quirk.
"St-stop it!" The boy shoued at the villain, and she felt her chest ache in pain, She couldn't let him get hurt... She heard the villain speak about crushing him next, an anger burned inside of her as she pushed back against her opponent. Her whole being burned as she moved, and got her legs under herself again as she pushed back, groaning out.
"LIKE... I'D EVER... LET YOU KILL HIM!" She shouted loudly at her opponent, as she pushed herself beyond her 100%, and let out a blast of her power that was eons ahead of her current power. She felt his muscles explode apart, and she reached her right hand out, seeing the shimmering emerald on her finger as she did, and she focused her glowing green eyes on her target. "DELWARE... DETROIT... SMAAAAAAASH!" She screamed out, as she pulled her arm back swiftly and punched the man, "GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!"
She watched as the man went flying back into the mountainside, and the rocks exploded from the force. She stumbled a bit as she fell to her knees, holding her right arm with her left as she cradled it. Her skin was purple with bruising, she was sure some of her fingers were broken now, she could feel it throbbing...
"You..." She heard Kouta sob behind her, and she struggled to her feet. The cool night air hit her exposed back, she was sure she needed a new shirt now. "You don't know a thing about me... Why...?! Why would you go this far if you don't know anything about me?!" Kouta's tears and sobbing were in his words as she turned to look at him, and clenched her right hand into a fist with a grin on her face, before she hurried over to him. She sobbed herself, her tears spilling down her cheeks as she stumbled, but stopped herself from falling as Kouta got up to run to her.
"I'm fine..." She held up her left hand, and reached out to him. "I still have more to do, come here." She told him as she wrapped her arm around the small boy and hugged him tight.
"Y-You're bleeding! Your arm! What can you do like that?!" Kouta cried out at her.
"I had to protect you..." Izuku told him, letting go of him for a second to look at him. "That's why I fought him... That guy was way stronger than I expected though... If the other villains attacking are like this, everyone else is in danger... And they're targeting Kacchan..." She gripped Kouta's shoulder tightly as tears spilled down her cheeks. "I've got to let Sensei know and the Pussycats, I've got to moving to save them..." She stood up fully to look out at the forest with analyzing tear filled eyes. "We can leave that guy here, I don't think he'll be getting up any time soon." she said with out looking back, "I have to protect you above all else, You can do something no one else can..." she said as she looked out at the flames that lit up the sky. "You've gotta put the fire out." She looked back down at Kouta now, and smiled warmly at him, "Alright? We need you and your quirk, Kouta... I may have saved you just now, but you've got to save the rest of us." She told him before she knelt down, "Now come here, I'll take you back." She told him, pointing at her back.
"Can you really run like that...?" Kouta asked, looking at her bloody back.
"Haha, You underestimate me." She said with a smile, as she hooked her arms under Kouta's legs and charged One for All into her body again, before taking a leap off the cliff to the forest below. "Now let's go!" she shouted.
She landed with a boom, and took off through the forest towards the Lodge. She looked up through the blood as she used all her power to move quickly. "Almost there..." She saw a figure running through the forest and came to a stop as she recognized it. "Sensei!" She called out, and saw him look up at her.
"Midori-" He stopped as she saw his eyes narrow at her, and she groaned as she stepped over some bushes, hiking Kouta up on her back better.
"Sensei... Thank god, this is serious! There's so much I have to tell you..." she said, before she slowly let Kouta down off her back, and rubbed the blood out of her eyes.
"Hold on..." Aizawa started but she cut him off.
"Before that, I have to get to Mandalei. Could you take care of Kouta for me...? He's got a water quirk," Izuku looked up at her sensei with a smile.
"I said hold on..." Aizawa groaned out now.
"I'm leaving it to you!" she said with a salute of her bruised hand, before turning to take off running.
"MIDORIYA I SAD HOLD ON!" Aizawa snapped and she stopped, and looked back at him. "Those injuries... You went and did it again, yeah...?"
"Ah uhm..." Izuku looked at her hand, and clenched it. She could feel the pain, but what she saw was the emerald on her finger, and that alone made the pain bearable.
"It's fine... But I need you to tell Mandalei something for me." Aizawa said with a sigh and Izuku looked back at him.
After her conversation with her teacher, she took off at a run using all her power in her legs. She could head the fighting ahead of her, and soon she saw Mandalei up ahead. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw a man wit reptilian skin and a sword made entirely of knives attack her. She took off from the ground with a boom as she heard the villain yell and attack Mandalei, but Izuku came crashing in, shattering the man's oddly made sword with a powerful kick.
"MANDALEI!" she cried out as she spun in the air, and landed on the ground, sliding across it. "KOUTA'S SAFE! I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM SENSEI!" She groaned as she stood up fully, and clenched her fists as she ran over to the pussycat. "Use your telepathy to tell everyone! Members of Class A and B, I professional Hero, Eraser-head, Hereby authorize you all for combat!" She shouted as she passed by the villain who was attacking the pussycat, and she charged her fist up, and pounded him in the face, sending him sliding back away from Madalei, before she ran to her. "One more thing...!" She cried out, pushing back her tears of worry. "Tell everyone... The Villains target... Or at least one of them... They're after Kacchan!" She shouted, as she tore off past the hero towards the forest, her tears finally escaping her eyes as she ran in the direction she last left Katsuki in. "PLEASE! TELL THEM! KACCHAN IS IN TROUBLE!"
