*Midoriya's P.O.V*
*Splash*
My eyes shot open, I was completely submerged in water. Kurogiri must have teleported me here. Makes sense, my Quirk is breating fire, anything but the flooded area would have been a stupid move. Anyway, I'll drown if I keep thinking about it and not moving. As I was swimming, I could feel something move past me, maybe it was another student?
I turned to see if it was anyone I knew, Asui, Iida, Uraraka, Bakugou, anyone really. But it was not a friend, but a villain rushing towards me opening it's sharp maw. Fearing for my life, I prepared to use One for All... then I saw a surge of green kick the villain in the face, it's Asui. She wrapped her tongue around my waist and lifted me onto the boat. She hopped onto the boat as well, dropping off the coughing Mineta.
"We should be safe here for now." She said, as Mineta managed to cough out all the water.
"H-Hold on Midoriya..." He said taking a second to regain his breath, "H-How did the villains know your name?" He asked.
"I was wondering that as well, you also know the blue haired guy as well, including his Quirk." Asui said.
I sighed... I should have known this would have happened.
"Okay..." I said looking over the railing of the boat, the villains emerged from the depths of the flood zone. "I have time, now before I say anything, how much do you know... about what I've done?" I asked.
"I know about the pair of fires you caused." Asui answered.
"Yeah, that's it for me too." Mineta said as well.
"Okay, you know about as much as the media knows. Which... in all honesty, is about a third of what I actually done." I said, they stared at me wide eyed, but I just continued with my story, "Anyway these guys... are a part of a group, they love to call themselves the League of Villains. I should know... because I was a part of it."
"What?" Mineta asked.
"Leave all your comments, questions, and shocked noises for the end please. So while I was in the league, they made me do other s**t, like robberies, attacking other heroes, and on my last job, burning down a hero agency building. I was arrested the minute it went up in flames, the pro that was inside the building, managed to catch me and haul me to interrogation. The rest you already know." I said, "So any questions?"
"A lot." Asui said, "First off, why? Why did you join the villains?"
"That one's easy. I hated heroes back then, and I detest them now." I said, "One of them crushed my dreams of becoming a hero even with me being Quirkless at the time anyway. Once he said that, I snapped, yelling and crying at an abandoned building, then I suddenly was able to breathe fire. Then Shigarkai, the blue guy with hands came up to me, gave me his speech about heroes and how scummy they are, I agreed, and then it was set in motion."
"Then why are you here then?" Mineta asked.
"Going for the kill huh?" I asked as I looked down, "It's because of my mother."
"Your mother?" Asui asked.
"She's in a mental hospital. The minute I appeared on the news and called her from the detention center, she lost it. She cried and apologized, she blamed herself for the stupid s**t I've done. I was certain that she knew it was my fault, but she still blamed herself. It crushed her in every way, which broke my heart." I explained, "While it was a stupid decision, All Might granting me a chance to go to U.A. was a way for me to make it up to her. As well as a way for me to become a better hero than any of those heroes who are in it for the fame and fortune, like that b**ch Mt. Lady." I muttered.
"Hey she's not a bit-"
"Moving on! One last question." Asui said.
"Shoot."
"Did you have any interaction with All Might before hand?" Asui asked.
"Elaborate?"
"Isn't it kind of weird that All Might, of all people, came into YOUR interrogation, and offered YOU of all people a spot in U.A.?"
I blinked for a few seconds... then chuckled, "You're observant... but no, we didn't meet before hand. In fact it was bizarre happenstance that he would A.) come to my interrogation, and B.) offer me a spot." I said as I looked over the edge of the boat, "The villains are still waiting in the water... but they look antsy. We should attack soon."
"Wait wait wait, you want to get off the boat and into the water with all those villains in the water?" Mineta asked sounding a tad bit scared.
"I must agree, even with my Quirk, it'll be hard to fight them off. Especially with your fire breath and your augmentation Quirk that'll destroy your body on use." Asui commented.
"That's why we need a decent plan. Before that, can you all tell me your Quirks?" I asked.
"Alright I'll start." Asui said, "My Quirk is 'Frog' It's pretty self explanitory, it gives me the characteristics of a frog, fast swimming speeds, long and strong tongue, ability to stay underwater for a long time." She explained.
"Okay, what's yours?" I asked Mineta.
"It's just this." He said pulling a purple ball off his head and plopped it onto the boat, "It can stick to anything and gets stickier depending on what I eat before hand. It can't stick to me though, in fact it just bounces off of me." He said touching it in demonstration.
"...Alright, I have a plan."
*Uraraka's P.O.V*
Thirteen was using her Quirk 'Black Hole' to suck up the mist villain... what did Midoriya call him? Kurogiri? Well it didn't matter, Thirteen was sucking him in and it was only a mat-
"Black hole... the Quirk that sucks up matter and turns it into dust... such an astounding power. However you're a rescue hero Thirteen, skilled at resuing people from disasters." Kurogiri said as he created a warp gate in his chest, "Consequently that means you have very little combat experience or battle field awareness!" He exclaimed as he created another portal behind Thirteen causing her to be hit by her own Quirk!
Her suit started to rip apart and be sucked into the black hole, "How unfortunate, you've turned yourself into dust!"
Thirteen stopped her Quirk before it caused her any more damage... "I'm sorry... he got me." Thirteen said before collapsing on the ground.
"Thirteen!" Ashido yelled.
Now's our chance, "Iida Run!" I exclaimed.
He hesitated at first, but started running, "ENGINE!"
"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves." Kurogiri said speeding towards him, "I simply can't allow that." He said creating a warp gate in front of Iida, "If other heroes arrive, it'll be harder for us to put an end to All Might."
Iida planted his foot to slow himself down, before he could get caught in the portal, Shoji jumped in and clamped his arms around the gate.
"Run!" He yelled, "I got him."
Iida immediately took off for the door, "I'll be back in a flash!"
"You impertinent child!" Kurogiri yelled rushing towards Iida, wait... what's that metal thing? "Be gone!"
He has completely enveloped Iida, I have to risk it! I jumped behind Kurogiri and touched the metal brace, he started floating away, it was part of his body!
"I don't know what his Quirk is, but he's wearing some kinda armor. So he must have a body underneath the mist somewhere!" I yelled launching him upwards, "Run, Iida!"
"Y-You pest! How dare you!" He yelled rising to the ceiling as Iida gripped both ends of the door. Light entered through the opening, he's gonna do it!
"I've got you!"
"Not so fast!" Sero yelled taping his brace, Sato then gripped the tape and spun him around.
"GO!" Sato yelled launching him away from us as Iida escaped USJ and rushed to get help.
All we can do now is wait.
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
We managed to escape the flood zone and entangling the villains with Mineta's purple balls. Now all we can do is-
"It's Mr. Aizawa." Mineta muttered pointing towards Aizawa fighting off the villains. He doesn't appeared to be touched by Shigaraki... so he's fine for now. But what I'm concerned about... is that thing next to Shigaraki, what did he call it? A Nomu. I remember ranting and raving about that specific Nomu, it being the first successful creation, it had I believe Shock Absorption and Regeneration, he even has the strength of All Might, but that wasn't a Quirk. I'm worried that Aizawa won't be able to defeat him, he can only cancel Quirks, but even so his strength could easily over power him. I have to relay this information to Aizawa.
"Guys... get back to the others." I said as I stepped onto the plaza.
"W-What?! Don't tell me yo-"
"Okay... I won't, I won't tell you that I plan to fight Shigaraki and the Nomu." I said.
"Wait the what?" Asui asked.
"That muscley brain guy, he has multiple Quirks like me, except it's entirely manufactured and not natural. Anyway, I need to tell Mr. Aizawa that." I said as I rushed in.
"Shigaraki!" I yelled standing in the plaza.
"Midoriya! I told you to-"
"So we finally meet again..." Shigaraki muttered knocking Aizawa back a few meters.
"I thought the Nomus weren't ready yet!" I yelled getting ready.
"I lied... I knew you weren't going to stay forever, so why give you damning information? The fact that you told him my Quirk and how it works is making this harder already." Shigaraki said.
"Wait... Nomu?" Aizawa asked rushing beside me.
"It's a long story, basically that muscle brain guy over there... has multiple Quirks." I said.
"What?!" He asked.
"It's all true, this one is the first one ever created, and that scumbag thought it was an amazing idea to brag about it. Shock Absorption and Regeneration are his Quirks." I said.
"Super strength isn't?" Aizawa asked.
"No, that's not one of his Quirks... that makes sense because he's designed to kill All Might." I explained.
"You neglected to mention that part." Aizawa commented.
"I'm sorry, you jumped away before I could get to that part." I said getting ready, "Here's the plan, I'll rush in-"
"I hate this plan already."
"I'll rush in and use my Fire Breath, you stay behind and cancel his and Shigaraki's Quirks." I said, "How long can you keep them erased for?"
"... 20 seconds." He said.
"Not as long as I had hoped." I said, "But it'll do."
"I'm still not liking this plan..."
"It's all we've got!" I exclaimed.
"No it isn't, how about you get out of here, and I'll take care of them."
"Against that?!" I asked pointing to the Nomu, "He has the strength to surpass All Might, I assume his speed is top notch as well, to top it all off his strength isn't a Quirk. Your only ranged attack is a capturing device, I'm best suited for this battle, besides I'm only stalling him until the other pros or All Might arrive. I'm not taking no for an answer." I said.
He looked angry... but sighed, "Fine..." He growled, "But consider this strike one."
"Worth it." I said as rolled my neck, "Ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." He muttered.
I'm surprised that they allowed us to discuss a battle strategy, then again Shigaraki has a habit of treating everything like a video game... so maybe he thought it was our turn? Regardless I'll enjoy ruining this scumbag's plan.
I ran towards the Nomu, as he rushed towards me as well. I don't have a firm grasp on One for All just yet, but I have to risk it.
"HAH!" I yelled delivering a full powered punch to the Nomu, his body shook as he was launched all the way to the other side os USJ. I was expecting my arm to go limp to my side... but it's fine, it hurt a lot, but it's fine. I don't know why... but a free use out of it is always welcome.
"Aizawa you ca-" I said but I turned to see him fighting off Shigaraki. Shoot! I rushed over to help Aizawa fend him off, then I heard a loud boom from the direction that the Nomu was knocked to... he's coming back. Wait, I have a horrible idea that just might work.
"Aizawa let go and run!" I yelled as I gripped both of Shigaraki's arms, as I heard the Nomu get closer I turned around to make Shigaraki take the full front of the Nomu's punch. The force sent us flying through the air.
"Agh!" He yelled in pain, "You damn brat!" He yelled breaking out of my grip, and reaching for my face, but before he could touch me I breathed fire on his hand causing him to flinch away, in the split second I have, I glanced towards Aizawa who was trying to dodge the Nomu's attacks.
"ASUI GET HIM OUT OF THERE!" I yelled before turning my full attention to Shigaraki's attacks. As I batted away his hands I saw Asui pull Aizawa out of the way of the Nomu's attack unscathed. Now the problem? We're spiraling to the landslide zone. Wait... a villain is holding onto Thunderdolt. I can save him! I grip onto Shigaraki's wrist and drove him into that villain, causing him to release Thunderdolt, and to no one's surprise... he's lost his mind.
"You guys alright?" I asked stilll gripping onto Shigaraki's wrist.
"W-We're fine." Yaoyorozu said.
"Great... I'll leave you to Thunderdolt over here." I said, as I turned my attention back to Shigaraki, I then gripped his leg and spun him around, "Now we are LEAVING!" I yelled as I released him towards the central plaza. Soon I surged One for All to my ring finger, "See ya." I said as I jumped and released the power, launching me back to Shigaraki. I gripped him out of the air and once my feet landed on the ceiling, I kicked off of it and launched Shigaraki hurdling for the ground, I was ready to punch him once he landed... but a purple portal appeared below him, disappearing once he sunk into it. "S**t! S**t! S**t!" I yelled as I was hurdling towards the ground in blinding speed... until I was caught out of the air.
"I'm here Young Midoriya!" All Might yelled cradling me in his arms.
I had a hard time processing what had happened.
"I-I thought I sa- Whatever thanks for the catch..." I muttered turning a light tint of pink.
He set me down and looked at Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and the Nomu. "You did well fighting him off." All Might said, "But leave the rest to me." He said.
"But what about Asui, Mineta, and Aizawa? Are they alright?" I asked.
"They are fine, with minor injuries, but they'll manage." All Might explained, "Though Aizawa will have a word with you once this is over."
"I figured that... anyway not important, that brain guy, Nomu, has two Quirks Shock Absorption and Regeneration, he also has strength and speed that rivals yours, but it's not a Quirk. There's no wa-"
"Thanks for the information!" He yelled with a thumbs up, "But I got this."
I wanted to rebut... but I sighed and nodded, "There's no changing your mind after all."
"Now you're learning!" He exclaimed with his trademarked hearty laughter, then got ready.
"Nomu... Kurogiri." He muttered rolling his body around, "Kill him... I'll take care of the insufferable traitor." Shigarkai muttered as Nomu and Kurogiri rushed towards All Might while Shigaraki moved towards me.
"Round two then? I'm down." I said as I grabbed my gasoline bottle, poured it over my gloves and lit them on fire. Before I could even think about rushing to Shigaraki, the sheer force of All Might's and the Nomu's punch sent us flying away from each other.
Their punches and exchanges are getting faster, faster and more powerful, but All Might is gaining ground on him.
"Midoriya!" A voice yelled as I felt something wet wrap around my waist, "Get back!" She yelled dragging me away from the battle.
"Oh! No you don't!" Shigaraki yelled managing to break through the force that All Might was exerting.
Before I could pry myself from Asui's tongue, Aizawa rushed in, got rid of Shigaraki's Quirk, and knocked him back into the fountain.
"Not on my watch..." He muttered.
All Might then knocked the Nomu through a forest area and followed suit. After a few exchanges, All Might knocked the Nomu into the air, only to hurdle him into the ground, causing a massive crater.
"Now for a lesson! You probably heard these words before, but I'll teach you what they really mean!" He yelled gripping his fist, "Go Beyond! PLUS ULTRA!" He yelled as he delivered a punch so powerful, that the Nomu was sent flying a few seconds after it was delivered. He broke through the ceiling, and pierced through the clouds, far away from sight.
Steam was encircling All Might, "I really have gotten weaker... back in my hay day, 5 hits would have been enough to take that guy out. Now it took 300 mighty blows." He stated as steam also started to eminate from All Might's body, his time is running out. "Now surrender villains!" All Might yelled.
"Shigaraki, let's go." Kurogiri said as he created a warp gate.
Shigaraki grunted in frustration, but complied, "Fine... But you haven't seen the last of me Izuku Midoriya." Shigaraki said.
Before I could make a witty comeback, Shigaraki and Kurogiri escaped... it was over.
"Gah...!" I yelled as Asui let go of me so I could lay on my back, "What a pain in the a-"
"Midoriya!"
I turned to see Uraraka running towards me.
"Oh hey..." Was all I could say.
"Hey? Just hey?! Are you alright? No broken bones, no ruptured ribs, no head damage?" She asked frantically as she checked every fiber... well not every fiber, but most of the fibers of my body.
"I'm fine Uraraka, just a broken finger." I said showing her my red ring finger, "Guess I don't have a full grasp of my power yet."
"Just a broken finger?!" She asked now shock instead of concern, "You were flying through the air, landed face first in the landslide zone, launched the blue haired guy and yourself into the air, and you only suffered a broken finger?" She asked.
"Well you forgot when I punched the brain muscle guy and knocked him back a million miles, but yeah pretty close." I said.
She sighed, "I can't believe you sometimes. How can you do something so-"
"Stupid."
Now Aizawa's joining in.
"It was a great idea at the moment!" I argued back.
"Still didn't make it any less stupid." He said sternly.
"Look... nobody got hurt." I said.
"Thirteen did..." Uraraka said.
"What?!" I asked.
"It was that mist villain, Kurogiri, he used her Black Hole against Thirteen." Uraraka explained.
"Will she be alright?!" I asked.
"Indeed she will." This time a not so familiar voice said.
"Ahh Cementoss." Aizawa said.
"Wait... when did they?"
"Just right now, he and the rest of the staff came in with Iida, they're tending to the others now." Uraraka explained.
"...Thank goodness." I muttered, then I looked around at the sheer destruction both All Might and I left behind, "Sorry about... all of this." I muttered.
"Oh it's quite alright, all of this shouldn't be too much of a hassle to repair, anyway we should get you to the infirmary." He said as a crew of robot nurses came in with a stretcher, I got on it and was carried away.
A few hours and one kiss from Recovery Girl later, All Might and his detective friend came in to interrogate me.
"So tell me... everything you now about the League of Villains." Mr. Tsukauchi.
"Straight to the point? Fine." I said as I explained everything they told be before I left the league. Ranging from who is in it, to their Nomu project.
"So they're making..."
"A massive army of super Quirk soliders. Mindless drones so to speak. They can have any range of Quirks, the one All Might fought has Shock Absorption and Regeneration. I only know because Shigaraki loves to brag when he gets a new toy..." I finished.
"Hmm... but how did they know about USJ?" He asked.
"I wish I could tell you, but maybe someone in our ranks slipped information to the villains." I suggested.
All Might, Mr. Tsukauchi, and Recovery Girl looked at me in shock.
"Are you suggesting there is a traitor in U.A.?" All Might asked.
"I wouldn't rule it out." I said as All Might looked conflicted, not that I blame him really, "But they could have a really good field operative, all I'm saying is that I don't have any concrete evidence for it just yet considering this is their first attack. However, this is something that should be taken into account in the future." I said.
Nothing was said, but Mr. Tsukauchi wrote it down in his notepad.
"Thank you for this information." He said with a bow then walked away. Once he exited Recovery Girl and All Might looked at me.
"Before you say anything, I'm not 100% certain on that theory, I'm not even 10% certain, but it's a possibility, and all possibilities should be taken into account in case something like this should happen again." I said as I turned to face Recovery Girl, "Am I free to leave?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes you're free to go." She said.
I nodded and left the room, and thus leaving the tense atmosphere within it.
It was mid afternoon, classes were let out early due to the attack on USJ. Once I was outside, Iida and Uraraka were standing by the gate.
"Oh Midoriya." Iida said as they turned to face me.
"Did you guys wait for me?" I asked.
"Of course! We had to make sure you were okay." Uraraka explained.
"Indeed, that was a reckless move, fighting off both villains." Iida said.
"I didn't know what else to do... And I thought if it worked I'd look like a bada**." I said half jokingly... but they didn't take it as such.
"This isn't the time for jokes!" Iida scoulded, "You could have been hurt! Or worse!"
"Look, I'm sorry, but I would have been fine, Mr. Aizawa was there covering for me with his Quirk, though me flying through the air was 100% unintentional." I commented.
"It clearly didn't look intentional." Uraraka commented.
I sighed and glanced at my phone, 4:13. "Anyway I need to head home, you guys wanna walk together?" I asked.
They glanced at each other and then nodded.
We had different side conversations on our way to the station, once we made it to my stop we parted ways. They questioned why I was here as opposed to my usual stop. I quickly made up a lie, saying I just discovered that this was slightly faster, they seemed to have bought it.
I made it to All Might's home, used the spare key I was given, and headed inside. All I can do is go to my room and study, I don't know when Midterms are, but all I know is that I'm not going to be last.
