Nine

Lee watched as the plan began. Aoyama opened the counter siege with his Ultimate Move Supernova, which involved firing his Navel Laser at a level that would immediately take him out of the fight from his body rejecting the Quirk, but it was still a powerful attack, and he added scattered shots from his shoulders and knees to the fray to force the girl away from the main target, who blocked the main blast. As his blast was about to end, Momo unveiled her contribution to the first attack, a pair of enormous cannons. The girl avoided her shot, only for the ground below her to collapse, allowing her to fall to where Todoroki's group was waiting. The main problem blocked his shot as well, but that was what they had assumed. As Momo fell to her knees and Aoyama collapsed, Lee flew down to them and grabbed them, flying them around behind the castle and to the spot they had picked for everyone to rest and be out of the way of the rest of the battle. He gave Momo a quick kiss before flying back up to observe the rest of the battle. Uraraka and Sero were next, Uraraka making any boulder she could get her hands on weightless before Sero hurled them and Uraraka returned their weight. The villain switched from his yellow barrier to purple lasers, still blocking the boulders one after another, but as more and more boulders joined the fray, they began to get closer. And yet, still he moved forward calmly. Finally, he got tired of the attack and rapidly overwhelmed them, forcing them to retreat past Mineta, who was the next one in line, along with Uraraka's help. They'd pre-staged a rockslide, and just needed Uraraka to use her Quirk to set it off. And then, a moment later, it began to explode down the mountain at him. For a moment, he was blocking the boulders, then Sero was swinging a weightless Mineta around as Mineta hurled his balls at the boulders as fast as he could, trapping the villain entirely. However, a moment later, the villain blasted himself free.

"The rocks didn't stop him!" Shoji warned.

"The three of them can't keep fighting!" Jiro added.

"Pull back, you three," Lee said calmly, stepping up to the edge where he'd have a clear shot. "I'll take over the next round."

"Right!" Sero said, beginning to flee just as the villain prepared to use his finger lasers.

Before he could, Lee shot a lightning bolt from his palm, forcing the villain to block it, except that the barrier wasn't what blocked it, it was compressed air, which wasn't a fantastic insulator. The lightning bolt parted around the barrier, but the metal in the villain's suit attracted it back to him, and it slammed into him hard, sending him exploding backward. Lee sighed, wiping sweat from his forehead before deploying his helmet and flying down to the flat area he'd just blasted the villain off of. Todoroki, Tokoyami, Mina, Iida, and Kirishima were all dealing with the girl, Koda was keeping the islanders' animals calm, and Toru, Ojiro, Sato, and Suu were staying with the islanders to help with emergency evacuation from the shelter if necessary. The only other person involved in the battle with the main threat, besides Bakugo and Midoriya, was Kaminari, who was standing by to help Lee absorb the villain's lightning attack when Lee goaded him into using it, or if Bakugo and Midoriya did. Finally, the villain stepped back up onto the plateau, and narrowed his eyes, watching Lee carefully.

"You're dangerous," the villain said. "You're the one that Slice said defeated both Mummy and Chimera."

"I'm Mach," Lee said. "And you're not getting past me."

"My name is Nine," the villain said, walking forward, inadvertently clearing room behind him for Lee to run, "and you're in my way."

Lee took off just ahead of a blast from Nine's lasers, racing around and around Nine a few times before leaping into the air as Nine swiped his hands in a circle, firing his lasers all the way around. As he did, however, Lee used his right boot to launch himself at Nine and swing a roundhouse kick. Nine's barrier blocked it and hurled Lee away, and Lee flipped, stopping himself with his jetpack and boots before taking off again, narrowly avoiding another blast from Nine's lasers. He hit the ground at a sprint and shot forward. Nine formed his barrier, firing a blast of compressed air, this time, but Lee spun around it, and around the barrier, throwing a punch. A massive, blue, serpentine dragon of some form erupted from Nine's back, and Lee's jetpack and boots only barely got him out of the way, his punch flashing over Nine's head with only a millimeter to spare before Lee was retreating from Nine's Quirks. He was supplementing his dragons, now two of them, with his lasers, trying to force Lee into the dragons. Finally, Lee landed ducking under a dragon, only for a blast of compressed air to explode into him, sending him exploding into a cliff. He grunted, shoving himself out of the cliff, only for both dragons to explode into him before he'd taken a step. As they pulled back, he exploded forward, ducking and spinning past lasers, air blasts, and dragons. He reached Nine from behind and threw a punch, his arm blurred below his elbow, but one of the dragons got their body in the way, as Nine couldn't turn around fast enough. The impact blasted into the dragon and failed to break through, but it did send Nine flying into the cliff himself. Lee smirked, and Nine snarled in rage, pushing himself up and glaring at Lee.

"If that's all the Quirks you have, you can't beat me," Lee said. "You're not fast enough."

"I'll show you fa-" Nine stopped, freezing for a moment before doubling over, shrieking in pain and clutching at his head.

Glowing purple lines appeared on the part of his face where his skin was visible, and Lee grinned. That was it. He was at his limit. He'd keep pushing himself, of course, but now, he was vulnerable. Lee took off like a shot, and Nine swore. His arm snapped up, firing his lasers, but the shots were inaccurate this time, and Lee spun around them easily, drilling a fist into the side of Nine's head. He shot around Nine, throwing a punch to meet him, but Nine blocked it with his barrier at the same time as a dragon exploded into Lee from the side, sending him exploding into the wall. Just as he pushed out of it, the glowing purple tubes on his back suddenly drained, injecting Nine with whatever was in it.

"It's a Quirk-enhancing drug!" Legacy warned.

"I figured," Lee nodded. "This is going to hurt."

Nine screamed in pain, leaning back just as the sky above them suddenly spiraled into a massive storm, lightning flashing between the clouds rapidly. Lee narrowed his eyes, bracing himself. Then, the lightning struck. Lee shouted in pain and effort as it slammed into him, the branch forking to also hit Kaminari, as they'd planned. But there was a lot. Lee could handle the charge, so long as he didn't over-charge. He didn't want to know what would happen if he did. Kaminari would likely fry his brain catching the bolt, but he'd be fine after he'd rested. Finally, just as Lee could feel himself reaching his limit, the bolt ended. His legs gave out as the extra power raged through him, fighting against his Quirk. He groaned quietly, struggling to get it under control. Finally, he managed to push himself up just as a massive tornado of flames erupted to life at the top of the island. He took off with his boots and jetpack, reaching it in seconds and finding purple energy raging at the bottom of the tornado. Lightning was striking all over the island, other tornados raging around it. But this one was the strongest, and Midoriya and Bakugo were staring at it worriedly. Lee landed at a run, electricity screaming over him, and took off counter to the tornado's rotation. After barely a minute, the tornado faded, only for a dragon to race toward him.

"Electro Cannon!" Lee roared, firing all of the excess power he'd gained by blocking the lightning bolt into the dragon. It was blasted apart instantly, as were the other half dozen that tried to protect it, but Lee realized a problem.

His control had slipped due to being overloaded. The excess electricity pulled at his, and as the bolt exploded into a spherical barrier around Nine, it left him drained and out of power. Nine was sent skidding backward to the very edge of the platform, gasping for breath and covered in glowing purple lines, but he had withstood the blast. Bakugo and Midoriya had done a number on him, blasting his suit jacket and armor apart above the waist, but purple energy was flying from his shoulders like wings, and he was far stronger now than before.

"Bakugo, Deku, he's yours," Lee said, then turned, barely managing to activate his jetpack and boots to fly to Katsuma and Mahoro, scooping them up and retreating to the others. "We need to evacuate!"

The others nodded, grabbing all three of them, as Lee was out of power, and fled. Todoroki's group wasn't present, but Lee wasn't worried about them. They'd had a solid plan for their fight. Lee looked back at the top of the mountain, but the fight was not going well. Bakugo and Midoriya were already being held by a pair of dragons.

"Sero," Lee said. "I need...Kaminari. I need...to recharge."

"Forget it!" Momo said. "He's too strong!"

"There's no...other choice!" Lee said. "Just get me to him!"

"Hey!" Jiro shouted, sliding down a hill with Kaminari.

Lee felt his gut drop. Kaminari was fried, and the excess power was already dispersed. Kaminari wouldn't be able to recharge him.

"Dammit, Kaminari!" Lee growled. "Your timing...sucks!"

Just then, an explosion rocked the mountain, and everyone spun to look. A tornado formed with more than double the last one's power, but something had changed. A blast of pure power and air exploded into the sky in a column, reaching deep into the storm overhead before erupting into a rainbow-colored explosion that cleared the storm entirely and filled the sky. Then, the fight began again, but something had changed. Nine held nothing back, using his lasers, dozens of dragons, and enormous blasts of compressed air, and yet Midoriya and Bakugo were able to face him now. And not only that, Bakugo's explosions and the blasts from Midoriya's power were miles beyond anything they'd used previously. And then, in a massive string of attacks from each, ending in an explosion from Bakugo that erased a trench down the side of the cliff, the battle was over. Lee made his way to the top of the cliff with his jetpack to check on Bakugo and Midoriya, and found both of them had two broken arms, and one of Midoriya's legs was broken, but both of them would live. He sighed, looking around just as Hawks arrived, dropping off All Might, who ran over to them quickly.

"They're alright," Lee assured him. "Battered, broken, and unconscious, but alright."

"That's not alright!" All Might snapped.

"Oh please," Lee snorted. "That's Midoriya every time he fights someone strong and has to use the Quirk to its full power."

"That's...true," All Might conceded. "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Lee said. "Drained and exhausted, in need of a recharge before I sleep, and with a killer migraine, but I'll live."

All might nodded. "Head back to the others. Heroes and reinforcements should be here soon."

Lee nodded and headed back the other way at a walk, but his exhaustion began to get the better of him as he did. Finally, he fell to his knees and pitched forward, only for Momo and Mina to catch him.

"Easy," Momo said. "You used too much power."

"We brought some car batteries," Mina said, grinning teasingly. "We know how much you love being recharged that way."

"You guys are the best," Lee smiled as Momo hooked a set of jumper cables to the first and passed Lee the other ends.

He drained all five and pushed himself up, then made his way down the mountain with them. He was still exhausted, but he wasn't in danger of passing out now. Momo was in much the same condition after overusing her own Quirk, and Mina was limping, her right thigh bandaged.

"What happened?" Lee asked.

Mina glanced at him, then her thigh, and shook her head. "I got stuck with a few hair needles. Nothing serious. It just hurts a lot."

Lee nodded, taking her arm over his shoulder, and she smiled, kissing him on the cheek as thanks. After about another hour, the other heroes and the military relief had arrived, and began to gather everyone. The three heroes still on the island were quickly restrained by the military and taken away, and a shelter was set up for the islanders, as well as a medical tent for anyone injured. By the next day, reconstruction and cleanup efforts were already underway, and almost everyone had recovered. Bakugo, apparently, didn't remember anything about the fight, and Lee didn't bother to ask Midoriya. It was enough to know that they'd survived.

They all helped with the cleanup effort, staying until the end of the month, then all loaded onto the freshly repaired ferry to start the trip home. As they sailed, Lee, Momo, Mina, and Toru all found a spot with a nice view away from the others and sat together, holding each other, Mina in Lee's lap.

"I hope we get a while of not needing to fight anyone," Mina said.

"That was super scary!" Toru agreed. "I need time off!"

"We all do," Momo agreed.

"Yeah!" Mina nodded. "We need a few days to use and abuse our boyfriend!"

Lee laughed. "I'd prefer a nap."

"I call first cuddle!" Toru said.

"No way!" Mina said. "He's mine tonight!"

"He'll be sleeping with me so that I can lock the door and he and I can both get a nap," Momo said.

"Well fine then," Mina said. "I'll just melt the lock and include you." She reached over to Momo, grabbing one of her breasts. "You know I love playing with these, anyway."

Momo made a whimpering sound as Mina massaged her breast before pushing the hand away. "We mean it, Mina. We need rest."

"And you can," Mina said, shifting her hips against Lee, making his member stand at attention in moments. "After I take this for a ride."

Lee groaned, hips pressing up against her before sighing and kissing her neck. "Behave, Mina. I promise I'll have time for you before I pass out, but I'd appreciate not being tortured until then."

"Pass," Mina grinned, then kissed him as she rocked her hips more.

Lee sighed, kissing her back, and after a few more seconds, Toru and Momo both sighed, forcibly separating Mina and Lee, only to each claim one of them for a kiss of their own.
