Chapter 17.

Taming the beast.

- "BurningGreymon! / KendoGarurumon!"-

Izuku and Shinso, the chosen ones of fire and light, have unlocked the animal spirits.

Izuku transformed into BurningGreymon, a dragon Digimon with avian characteristics. Although it is a Beast Digimon, it normally stands upright like a human. Its head has a bird-like beak, albeit filled with razor-sharp teeth, blue, raptor eyes, and is almost entirely covered by silver helmet with crimson stripes, an emblem, and the Greymon-species horns. It has flaming, feathered wings and sharp claws on each of its limbs, and its muscular body is covered with crimson armor, inlaid with silver panels and gold etchings. Both of its forearms are equipped with triangular, golden superweapons called "Rudriya Darpaṇa", and its thick tail is armored.

Shinso transformed into KendoGarurumon, a quadrupedal Digimon in the form of a wolf and wears white armor with purple stripes all over its body. On his back he seems to carry two swords or sabers that he uses as wings to attack the rival when he runs towards him at high speed. Also say that it has a pair of wheels on the back of each leg to propel it and thus acquire extra speed. In the middle of the back, it seems to carry a kind of cannon through which it shoots rays of light at the enemy.

Izuku vs Muscular/Arbormon

Izuku lets out a roar and charges at Muscular.

- "So, you still have energy huh?"- Muscular said. – "I like it... Wait, I can still fight..."- Muscular was covered by black mud and in his place Arbormon appeared. – "I'm sorry, but you can't do anything against him."- Arbormon said, in that he tried to attack Izuku with a punch, however, Izuku caught his fist with his hand as if it was nothing. – "Oh no…"-

Izuku lets out a roar right at Arbormon's face and then slams him into the mountain. He then fires lasers from the Rudriya Darpaṇa towards Arbormon, causing a lot of damage to his enemy.

Arbormon comes out of the debris quite hurt. – "You asked for it... Arbormon, Slide Digivolve to… Petaldramon!"- Arbormon's appearance changed, now it resembles a lizard made of wood, on top of it there seems to be green moss and its head is made of wood surrounded by flower petals. – "Leaf Cyclone!"- Petaldramon releases a cyclone of leaves from its nostrils, however, Izuku just lets out another roar and sets its whole body aflame, then releases a high-temperature tornado by flapping the Fire Wings. The tornado is strong enough that it destroys Petaldramon's cyclone and hits him.

Petaldramon takes quite a bit of damage from the attack, however Izuku continues to attack repeatedly with his claws quite wildly, not letting Petaldramon defend himself effectively. Suddenly the attacks cease, however this was only for Izuku to let out a roar and then tackle Petaldramon while covered in flames.

Petaldramon barely manages to get up. – "Tho… Thorn Jab…"- A very tired and weak Petaldramon said before stabbing its tail into the ground, causing vines to burst from the earth and entangle its foes.

These vines take Izuku and begin to trap him, however Izuku only roars, and another fire tornado destroys the vines and then fires lasers from his Rudriya Darpaṇa against Petaldramon.

The attack hits Petaldramon, completely defeating him and causing him to disintegrate into black sludge, Muscular appearing instead. – "What? What happened?"- It's the only thing he managed to say since Izuku sent him crashing into the mountain in one blow, leaving him unconscious.

Kota, who watched the entire match, couldn't do anything but look at Izuku. In that, he remembered Mandalay's words. – "Someday, you will find someone who will risk their life to save you."- Apparently that someone turned out to be Izuku. – "My hero…"-

Just at that moment Aizawa arrived at the place, seeing the panorama, Aizawa approached Kota but was surprised to see Izuku, although he is different, Aizawa recognized him, especially because of the fire. – "Midoriya…"-

However, what happened surprised the hero. Izuku, instead of saying anything to him, turned sharply to see him, giving off an aura of a wild animal and ready to attack. Slowly approaching the hero, as if hunting him, Aizawa takes Kota in his arms and prepares to escape if for some reason something bad happens.

Izuku is in front of Aizawa, he watches him for several seconds, suddenly a roar in the distance catches his attention. Izuku turns in the direction of the noise and lets out a roar of his own, after which he flies off in the direction of the roar.

- "Is... that's an animal spirit?"- It's the only thing Aizawa could think of, after which he decides to take Kota to a safe place. However, he fails to realize that from Muscular's body two digital spirits emerged, the human spirit and the animal spirit of wood, which fly off in an unknown direction.

Shinso vs SkullMeramon.

Shinso lets out a roar and charges at SkullMeramon.

- "Metal Fireball"- SkullMeramon said as he launches a destructive ball of melted metal from his mouth.

Shinso let out a roar and then fired a beam of light from his mouth, which hit the enemy attack. However, this does not end here, Shinso begins to run quickly and uses his blade wings (Claymore wings), to cut his enemy multiple times. Finally, he finishes the assault with a lunge that knocks SkullMeramon down.

SkullMeramon struggles to get up, then starts attacking with his chains, at the same time he set them on fire. – "Die!"-

The chain was about to hit Shinso, however, Shinso manages to break the chain with one bite, he then leaps into the air while spinning with blades extended. The blades start cutting SkullMeramon many times. Once Skullmeramon falls to the ground, Shinso lets out a roar and runs at high speed to cut his rival into pieces.

- "Im-Imposible!"- Those were SkullMeramon's last words as Shinso fired one last beam of light from his mouth, defeating him completely and causing all of SkullMeramon's pieces to explode into data.

After this, Shisno looks at the moon and lets out a gigantic roar. After a few seconds another roar is heard from afar, Shinso goes in the direction of that roar.

Melissa is flying at full speed, she lost sight of her target, however it seemed that her target was straight ahead. As she flew, she met Todoroki, who was also flying in the same direction.

- "Todoroki!"- Melissa said.

- "Melissa? What are you doing here?"- Todoroki asked.

- "I'm following a villain, apparently she went this way."- Melissa said. – "What about you?"-

- "A villain captured Bakugo! I followed him here, apparently, they are meeting up further down this way."- Todoroki explained.

- "In that case, let's hurry up, we have to rescue Bakugo."- Melissa said so that after both of them fly in the direction that Todoroki indicated.

Villains' meeting point.

Dabi is waiting for his allies. Next to him is another villain, who is dressed in a black full body suit with gray details, this villain is Twice.

- "Dammit. Where are they?"- An impatient Dabi asked.

- "Do not be impatient. / I'm already bored!"- Twice said in a strange way, as if he had a split personality.

Dabi was about to answer, but in the distance, he could see the animal and human spirits of the wood approaching. – "So, Muscular was beaten."-

- "What a pity! / I don't care!"- Twice said.

Dabi takes the spirits, in that Ranamon arrives. – "Finally! How much blood did Toga manage to get?"-

- "Let's see... I think she got two samples from two people."-

- "Two? Hadn't she said she'd at least get three?"- Dabi asked.

- "Don't look at me, I just wanted to say hello to my fans, in fact I found a girl who is my number one fan!"-

In that, Spinner and Magne arrive. - "Good, I'll give you one more minute, if no one else shows up, we'll leave."-

Mr Compress arrives at that moment. - "We will not leave without fulfilling our mission, right?"- He asked and then showed the small sphere in which he has Bakugo trapped.

- "Well done, Compress."- Dabi said.

- "No need to sing victory yet, we have unexpected guests."- Mr Compress said so that Melissa and Shinso landed behind him.

- "Dammit!"- Dabi said before being covered by black mud and in his place a Digimon appeared.

That Digimon appearance is derived from the mythological Gnome, a diminutive but humanoid chthonic entity defined by Paracelsus as an earth elemental. It also has the bulbous nose of the mythological Troll, another chthonic entity in Scandinavian folklore. It wields the "Grotte Hammer" and can summon more than one of them. His name is Grumblemon.

- "Jack in the Box!"- Grumblemon jumps out of the ground and attacks Todoroki with his Grotte Hammer. For his part, Ranamon attacks Melissa with a kick.

Todoroki creates a wall of ice to cover himself from the attack, however Grumblemon destroys it, but manages to stop his advance, Melissa covers herself from Ranamon's kick and counterattacks with hers, which is dodged by her rival.

- "So, the one chosen by AncientKazemon also joined the rest."- Grumblemon said.

- "So is! And I will help defeat Shigaraki!"- Melissa said.

- "I hate her..."- Ranamon said.

Both sides were about to attack each other again, however, someone lands in the middle of both sides.

Izuku/BurningGreymon arrived at the battlefield.

- "BurningGreymon!"- An excited Ranamon said. – "Although I prefer Agunimon you are also very handsome!"-

Izuku doesn't seem to pay attention to Ranamon's words. Upon closer inspection, Grumblemon seems to realize what is happening. – "Ranamon! Let Toga come back!"-

- "What? Why?"- Ranamon asked.

- "You just listen to me."- Grumblemon said before melting into black mud and Dabi appeared in his place. Ranamon reluctantly does the same, making Toga appear. Dabi was about to ask what happened, however Grumblemon seems to be telling him something in his subconscious. This makes him smile. – "Hey! BurningGreymon!"- Dabi yelled and at that moment, Izuku turned to look at him. – "Look, there are rivals who want to fight!"- Dabi said pointing at Melissa and Todoroki.

Izuku turns to see the duo and after a few seconds of just seeing them, he lets out a roar and charges at them.

Melissa and Todoroki dodge the attack. - "Izuku?! What are you doing?!"-

- "Let's get out of here."- Dabi said, at that moment a mist portal appears, and the group of villains leaves the place, with Bakugo captured.

- "No! / Bakugo!"- Melissa and Todoroki yelled as they dodged Izuku's fierce attacks.

- "Izuku! Stop, it's us!"- Melissa said.

- "I think he can't hear us!"- Todoroki said. – "It also doesn't seem like he's aware of what he's doing. We have to stop him before he hurts someone."-

- "Right!" - After this, both try to stop Izuku in the best way they can.

- "Ice Age!"- Todoroki launched an ice beam that began to freeze Izuku's body, however, Izuku only used a tornado of fire to destroy the ice.

- "Hurricane Wave!"- Melissa shoots tornadoes from her fingers, however, Izuku only covers himself with his arms and manages to resist the attack. – "He is very strong, so this is the power of animal spirits."-

Izuku lets out a roar and charges at Melissa and Todoroki, both preparing to attack, however before Izuku can get to them, someone rams him and crashes him into a tree. Seeing who it was, Todoroki and Melissa saw that it was Shinso, in his KendoGarurumon form, who let out a roar towards Izuku, who got up from the ground.

Izuku lets out a roar and they both charge at each other, once they collide both begin to struggle against the other.

- "Is that Shinso?"- Melissa asked.

- "It seems to be... Apparently, he also unlocked the animal spirit."- Todoroki said. – "We have to calm them down. We can't leave them like this, who knows what they might do while they're out of control. You try to calm down Midoriya, I'll calm Shinso down."-

- "Okay!"- Melissa said before shooting tornadoes at Izuku. Todoroki fires an ice beam at Shinso, both of them managing to make their target focus on them. – "I'm sorry Izuku, but I need you to calm down please!"- Melissa said as she dodged Izuku's savage attacks.

In one of those attacks, Izuku Melissa manages to knock Melissa down, the girl falls to the ground and Izuku jumps and lands on top of her, with his right hand he grabs her by the neck and begins to crush her on the ground.

Melissa can feel how short of breath she is. - "Izuku, please stop, it's me... I can't... breathe..."- The girl began to speak with difficulty. Out of desperation she could only say one thing. – "Someone… help me…"- However those words seem to repeat themselves in Izuku's mind.

- "Help Me!"-

Izuku starts to remember.

Flashback.

Many years ago.

Inko Midoriya, when she was still skinny, is sitting on the floor with a blanket covering her. – "Help me!"- Inko said in a playful tone.

In that, the door opens and an Izuku between three and four years old appears, the boy is dressed in an All Might onesie. – "I'm here!"- Little Izuku yelled.

Inko quickly hugs her son. – "Thank you very much All Might!"- At that Inko lets out a giggle. – "So, all this time, All Might was you, Izuku." –

Flashback end.

This memory made Izuku finally regain control of his transformation, that he can finally control himself. – "What…? What happened?"- Izuku said something disoriented, he doesn't remember what happened, the last thing he remembers is fighting Muscular and transforming, but after that he only remembers black. In that he realizes that he is hurting Melissa, he quickly releases her and backs away. – "M-Melissa?! I-I'm sorry! I don't know happened! I don't remember anything!"-

Catching her breath, Melissa hugs Izuku. – "Izuku! You're back! I'm glad you're back!"- Izuku, blushing, returns the hug.

- "I'm sorry to interrupt your romantic moment, but I need help!"- Todoroki said as he dodged Shisno's wild attacks.

Blushing, Izuku and Melissa break the hug. – "R-Right, Todoroki! Step aside!"- Izuku said, in that Todoroki moves away and Izuku manages to immobilize Shinso thanks to the fact that they both have a similar power.

Melissa and Todoroki support Izuku and manage to immobilize Shinso's legs, who was trying to free himself from the hold.

- "Shinso-kun calm down please! We are not your enemies! We are! Your friends!"-

- "Your friends!"- These words repeated in Shinso's head.

Flashback.

- "Hey, watch out for Shinso, he might use his quirk to make you do his homework for him." - A student, Shinso's classmate from high school, said quietly to another, however, Shinso could hear them.

- "His quirk is perfect for that of a villain, Brainwashing. Spooky."- Another student said. – "I don't think he can be a hero with a quirk like that."-

After school.

- "Dammit!" - Shinso screamed as he hit the ground. – "I'm going to show everyone! I'm going to become a great hero! Not matter how!"- At that, a spirit appeared in front of him, AncientGarurumon.

- "In that case... let me help you."-

UA entrance exam.

Shinso destroyed another robot that was about to hit another participant, who was distracted. Upon landing he can feel something familiar about the participant he saved. Apparently, the other participant feels the same.

After saving Uraraka.

After discovering that he is not the only chosen one, Shinso can feel that this is his chance to finally have some friend, someone who appreciates him for who he is and doesn't judge him. Shinso extends his arm. – "See you at UA, my friend"- The other boy, Izuku Midoriya, smiles and returns his handshake.

- "Yes!" –

Flashback end.

Shinso finally stops struggling. The rest release him. – "W-What happened?"-

- "It seems that you unlocked the animal spirit, but lost control of the transformation."- Todoroki said.

- "I see... Wait, what happened to the villains?"- Izuku asked.

Melissa and Todoroki hesitated to tell them what happened, however sooner or later they will find out. – "Well…"-

An explanation later...

- "W-What?!"- Shinso said.

- "Bakugo...it's my fault..."- Izuku said.

- "It is not! You weren't in control of your transformation!"- Melissa said.

- "I... If I hadn't lost control..."- Izuku said.

- "Melissa is right, it's not your fault, you changed for a reason, you couldn't know that this would happen."- Todoroki said.

- "But…"-

- "Midoriya... if it hadn't been you, it would have been me, remember I was out of control too. You'll see that they will manage to save Bakugo."- Shinso said.

His friends' words managed to calm Izuku. – "I… Yes, you are right… Thank you guys."

After this, the boys decided to return to the camp. Tonight, the good guys were defeated.

The ambulances and firemen arrived fifteen minutes after the departure of the villains. Of the forty students, fifteen lost consciousness and became critically ill due to the gas.

Nine students were seriously injured and fifteen were uninjured.

One student disappeared.

Of the six professional heroes, one suffered a head injury, she is in critical condition.

The other lost a lot of blood, but she would survive, if it hadn't been for Melissa, who explained what happened, she would have been kidnapped by the villains.

On the side of the villains, three were caught and immediately arrested, one of the three, Muscular, seems to have lost all notion of consciousness, his body is alive, but his mind is absent.

The rest of the villains disappeared without a trace.

Training camp came to an end with the worst possible result.

Hospital.

Izuku was discharged the same day he arrived. His injuries are only minor, as his transformations are the ones that take the most hits.

- "Very well, Midoriya-san, you are free to go. Luckily you don't have serious injuries, just try to rest and everything will be fine."- The doctor said.

- "Thanks."-

- "By the way... a boy came and wanted us to deliver this to you."- The doctor said as he hands Izuku a letter.

Midoriya-san:

I'm sorry I hit you there. Thank you for saving me without knowing anything about me. Get well soon so I can thank you in person.

Kota.

Izuku smiled at the letter.

After that, Izuku prepares to leave the hospital. – "Midoriya!"- A voice stops him, it was Kirishima, accompanied by the rest of class A, at least those who were not unconscious, and Bakugo, of course.

- "Guys... what's going on?"-

- "While we're here... Todoroki and I heard All Might and a policeman talking to Yaoyorozu."- Kirishima said. – "Apparently, she and Awase from class B managed to put a tracker on a villain, the one that looks like a reptile I think, while he was going back to the rest of the villains. We think maybe Yaoyorozu can make us another device."-

- "No, we have to let the professionals take over!"- Iida said. – "This is not something we can do!"-

- "We know that, but..."- Todoroki said. – "Bakugo was captured in front of me, and I couldn't do anything to avoid it."-

- "If I don't do anything, I can't call myself a hero!"- Kirishima said. – "Midoriya! We can still save him, right?"- Kirishima said while extending his arm to Izuku.

- "Do you plan to go out and rescue him by yourselves?"- Iida asked.

- "Even though we were targeted by the villains, they took Bakugo without killing him, they may need him alive."- Todoroki said. – "I will go with Kirishima."-

- "No! I understand that you are frustrated, but this is not the time to be carried away by feelings."- Shoji said.

- "We have to let All Might and the heroes handle this, plus they revoked our authorization to fight."- Tokoyami said.

- "We are all shocked by Bakugo-chan's kidnapping. However, let's be reasonable, no matter how you feel, if you guys get involved in the battle..."- Tsuyu started. – "if you break the rules, your actions won't be different from the villains."-

This made everyone quiet. – "Well... we better get going."- Sero broke the silence. – "We have to go see Jiro and Hagakure, they haven't woken up from their coma yet."-

As everyone leaves, Kirishima approaches Izuku. – "I already talked to Yayorozu, if we do, we have to leave immediately, tonight. I know you also want to save him."- Kirishima whispered to Izuku, however their conversation was overheard by two people.

Nighttime.

Outside the hospital.

Todoroki and Kirishima are waiting outside the hospital. – "Yaoyorozu said that she would think about it. I hope she helps us."- Kirishima said.

- "I hope so, even if we lose patience, everything depends on her."- Todoroki said.

In that, Yaoyorozu leaves the hospital, with a bandage in her head. However, she was not alone, Izuku is with her.

- "Midoriya…"- Krishima said with a smile. – "Yaoyorozu, what is your answer?"-

- "I…"- Yaoyorozu was going to reply, however someone cuts her off.

- "Wait!"- That person is Melissa, followed by Shinso. – "We're going too!"-

- "Melissa…"- Izuku said.

- "I heard what Kirishima said, I couldn't stop Bakugo from being kidnapped either, so I'm going too." – Melissa said. – "Also, I trust you guys have a plan to rescue Bakugo without a fight."-

Kirishima smiles at this. – "That's right! This will be an undercover operation!"-

- "I trust all of you, I was planning on going, but I know that Melissa will stop you if you come up with something."- Yaoyorozu said as she handed the tracking device to the girl. – "Also, I haven't been released from the hospital yet, so I'd better stay."-

- "Thank you, Yaoyorozu. Alright, it's time to go!"- Kirishima said, after this, the group of five left in the direction indicated by the tracker.

Villain's Bar.

Bakugo opens his eyes. In that he can see the villains, Kurogiri, Toga, Dabi, Magne, Mr. Compress and Spinner, Shigaraki and Twice were missing. – "What the fuck is happening?"-

- "Oh nothing."- Shigaraki said as he and Twice entered the room. – "How are you feeling Twice?"-

- "Very good. My mental problems are gone after receiving your gift."- Twice said.

Shigaraki nodded. - "You already know what to do."- Shigaraki said, Twice leaves the place, the rest of the villains follow him. Shigaraki addresses Bakugo. – "Katsuki Bakugo... do you know why you are here?"-

- "Of course, I'm so strong that you want me to join you!"- Bakugo said with a smile. – "Well, a pity for you! I'm not going to join some idiots!"-

Shigaraki laughs at these words – "Who do you think I am? An idiot? You are just a bait to attract All Might!"-

This surprises Bakugo. - "What the fuck are you talking about?!"-

- "Now that All Might has passed the torch to someone else, he has become unnecessary to my plans."- Shigaraki said, then the rest of the villains enter the room. – "All Might's hero days end tonight!"-

To be continued.
