Sh4d0w Eclipse: Can't wait for the next part
Dragon Emperor0: Here it is.
SuperShadic2002: Ah, yes, Shoto Not-A-Clue Todoroki. Goddamn, Endeavor, if you can't do things right, then at least let Fuyumi talk to the poor kid about social cues…
ThermalsniperN7: I know, right?! For real!
Dragon Emperor0: It's a travesty is what it is.
Dragonlord001: You call Izumi a giantess yet she is not even giant sized. Diane from "Seven Deadly Sins" was 30 ft even, will something happen to grow Izumi to giant size later?
Dragon Emperor0: No she won't be growing to that size. We call her a giantess because she's part Jotun. Like in God of War, not all giants are giant.
ThermalsniperN7: Not that there's anything wrong with a disparity in size. Or number of limbs, say.
Dragon Emperor0: Nothing in the world.
Joanne Frances Tiano Cajilig: She should've punted that pervert! I hope in the next chapter she actually punts something…
ThermalsniperN7: She's definitely gonna punt something, I'll tell you that much.
Dragon Emperor0: Yep.
-Unforseen Simulation Joint, UA High-
"Whoa, hey, what's that thing?" Kirishima questioned as a portal opened up in the USJ and people came out of it. "Has the training already started? I thought we were rescuing people." He added.
"Stay back!" Aizawa shouted as he put on his goggles, causing the kids to flinch. "This is real, those are villains!" He stated.
"Wh-What?!" Kaminari stuttered as the seriousness of the situation sank in for him and the others.
Moments later, the figure composing the portal showed his yellow eyes. "The only real heroes I see here are Eraser Head and Thirteen. Perplexing, the schedule we retrieved said that All Might was supposed to be here." The figure noted.
'Maybe he'll show up if we start killing off his students." Another figure with hands all over his upper body mused as more villains poured through the portal.
"Thirteen, protect the students!" Aizawa told the rescue hero.
"Hang on!" Izumi exclaimed before she took Gideon and slammed it onto the stairs–creating a landslide on top of the stairs and holding it in place. "Sensei, hop on this landslide ride it down there! It'll take out some of the villains on impact!" She told him.
"Good thinking, Midoriya." Aizawa nodded as he jumped on, shooting down towards the main plaza and the villains.
As the man began throwing hands with the gutter punks in front of him, Izumi gripped her hammer and twirled it–before launching herself right into the air!
"What the–!" Mina gasped in shock as she watched her verdette friend go flying. "Is she insane?! What is she trying to do?!" She exclaimed in alarm.
"Oh no…" Katsuki groaned. "The Serpent Sin of Envy strikes again." He sighed.
"What?" Momo asked, not understanding what he meant.
"She can't stand being sidelined. It makes her jealousy rear its head." The blonde stated right as Izumi swung her hammer down as she fell and hit the largest villain of the group in the head. The impact had so much force it caused a shockwave that sent some of the lesser villains flying.
"Uh, should we be worried?" Iida asked in well placed concern.
"As long as she's not going after the ringleaders of this whole thing, she'll be fine." The explosion user told him. Sure, he knew Izumi was strong, but he didn't know anything about the leaders of this whole thing, which made him feel some worry.
Izumi growled as she saw that the large villain seemed unphased by her attack, so while still aloft she switched positions and started slamming him from side to side, but to no avail, he just kept blocking and tanking each blow–despite the force behind them.
'How the hell is this open brained freak still standing?!' She thought as she kept trying to subdue the odd looking villain. What kind of quirk left your own brain exposed in addition to having a bird-like face?
As the Jotun girl was bashing the beast around, she started to tire, which made her stagger backwards and let Gideon hit the ground.
"Creation: Bedrock Uppercut!" She groaned, letting her fist hit the ground as she fell to her hands and knees, a giant stone fist with spiked knuckles raising from the ground and hitting the giant villain in the jaw.
All this did was make the villain jerk his head back since bedrock was a pretty hard mineral. The hand villain took one look at Izumi before saying one thing.
"Nomu." He said to the beast. "Kill her." He ordered.
"Oh fuck…!" Izumi cursed before she was punched by the creature, sending her skidding across the ground as she used Heavy Metal to avoid injury.
When it started punching and slamming her around like a ragdoll, her screams of pain echoed throughout the building.
The class could only watch in horror from atop the stairs as their classmate was brutalized. Katsuki in particular could feel horror and rage building up in tandem in his soul… Along with something else he didn't recognize, but he paid it no mind.
Seconds later, the warp villain from earlier appeared behind them. "Greetings UA students. We are the League of Villains. I know it's impolite, but we came into this Haven of justice to say hello." He began. "After all, isn't this a fitting place for the Symbol of Peace to take his last breath? In fact, he was supposed to be here but yet I see no sign of him. There must've been a change in plans we could not have foreseen."
Before anything else could be said…
"DIE!" Katsuki roared ferociously as he blitzed past Thirteen with Kirishima in tow. The red eyed teen had only one thing on his mind: pulverize anyone and everyone who dared to hurt Izumi, and anyone who had a hand in it.
Correction, his Izumi.
"I'm gonna kill you! I'll kill you all! No one hurts my Izumi and gets away with it. You hear me?! No one!" The pomeranian growled as the warp gate being began to reconstitute himself.
"My my, such ferocity." The black and purple colored man noted. "Such an unbe–" He started to add before Katsuki cut him off with another explosion.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU SMOKEY MOTHERFUCKER!" He yelled angrily, firing blast after blast from his palms.
"Oh man, I know Bakugo gets angry a lot, but this is a whole other level!" Kirishima exclaimed as he backed up.
"Yeah. It almost feels like him being angry before was just an act." Sato nodded with a small gulp. "It feels like he's genuinely angry right now." He added.
"What's gotten into him?" Ochako gasped as the warp villain reappeared.
"I grow tired of your insolence, child." He growled as his smoke surrounded them all. "Begone! All of you!" He yelled, causing Katsuki to look back–and see the bird villain slamming Izumi's face into the pavement.
"IZUMI!" He yelled before he and the others were scattered all over the facility.
A moment later, the bomber found himself in the ruin zone with Kirishima. He clenched his fists, his rage skyrocketing.
"Dammit!" He yelled, punching the floor over and over again, tears starting to escape his eyes.
"Whoa, hey Bakugo, calm down man." Kirishima told him, grabbing the boy and pulling him up. "Listen, I know you're worried about Midoriya. I am too. But we can't help her while we're stuck here." He told him.
"Then we fight our way out!" The angry teen growled right as villains appeared. "Oh look, stress relief!" He grinned savagely before he charged at his new punching bags.
The students were now scattered all over the place. Tokoyami and Koda were in the squall zone, Ojiro and Hagakure were in the fire zone, Jiro, Momo and Kaminari were in the mountain zone, and Shoto was in the landslide zone with Ochako.
Iida, Mina, Sato, Sero, Shoji, Tsu and Mineta were all still at the entrance with Thirteen. And Izumi…
While the villains kept Aizawa busy, she was getting beaten to a pulp by the bird villain.
"Damn… it…" She groaned before taking another punch. It was a miracle she hadn't passed out yet.
'Damn it! Where's a window to help your student when you need one?!' The erasure hero cursed in his head as he knocked out another villain.
Izumi struggled to get up as blood bled from her forehead, right as the villain grabbed her by the hair and forced her face down into the pavement–the impact creating a crater.
"Good work, Nomu." The Hand villain chuckled. "So, brat, how do you like our bio-engineered anti-Symbol of Peace?" He asked mockingly.
"Here's… what I… think…!" The verdette managed to grit out before making a gesture with her free hand, causing a rock pillar to shoot out of the ground and hit him… right in the balls.
The hand villain let out a high pitched squeal of pain as he collapsed to his knees, holding his wounded manhood.
"Cheap… shot…" He whimpered.
"Fuck… You…" The girl groaned before she slowly fell unconscious.
(Meanwhile)
"DIE, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" Katsuki thundered as he blasted another villain away while his redheaded friend punched out the lights of another.
"That's probably the last of them." Kirishima panted. "Come on, Bakugo, let's go help Midoriya." He told the pomeranian.
"Yeah… Let's go." Katsuki breathed, his muscles still tense even as an invisible villain snuck up on him. "And when we get there, I'm going to kill the ones who hurt her. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically or in any other fancy way." He continued as the villain tried to attack him, only to get blown up without Katsuki even looking. "I'm going to kill them. Straight. Up." He vowed, calm fury flooding out of his body.
Kirishima was actually speechless. He heard that anyone would do anything for those they cared about, even taking the step others wouldn't. But Katsuki?
He took that to a new level.
"Ya know, from the way you guys don't typically get along all that much, I didn't think you'd be this angry." The redhead stated, causing the bomber to look at him like he had lobsters crawling out of his ears.
"What the–?! Are you fucking serious?!" The blonde asked in disbelief. "We've been best friends since we were kids! We constantly egg each other on to get stronger!" He told him.
"Oh, so that's what that was." Kirishima nodded as they ran towards the main plaza. "Hey, come to think of it, didn't you say you liked Midoriya?" The redhead asked.
"Not that it's any of your business, but yes I did." Katsuki responded as he ran faster. "Which is why I refuse to let her die on me. Not on my fucking watch!" He added, using his explosions to blast through the air.
"Hey, wait up!" The redhead called as he ran after him.

Meanwhile, in the landslide zone, Shoto was freezing villains left and right, while Ochako was using her quirk to float debris and use them to pelt their assailants. When they were done, all the villains were either knocked out or frozen.
"Th-They just started attacking the moment we showed up…!" One of the frozen villains uttered with a shiver.
"These kids are menaces!" Another shivered fearfully.
"So cold…!" A third shivered as well.
"You people were woefully unprepared. In fact, it seems as though you've had no training." Shoto commented as he dodged a rear attack from another villain and froze them from the staff he caught.
"Did you guys even study at all?" Ochako wondered, slightly disappointed with how vaguely easy the fight had been for her and Shoto.
The two toned boy turned back to look at her, and was surprised with how well she was fighting. Much better than in battle training. 'Huh, she's not half bad'. He thought.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile in the mountain zone…
"OH SHIT!" Kaminari yelled in fear as he dodged a villain that was quickly taken out by Momo. "That was too close! I think my life flashed before my eyes! I think I just saw the Grim Reaper! What's going on?!" He rambled.
"Can you take it down a few notches?" Jiro snapped at him as she took a machete from Momo.
"Right now we need to get rid of these enemies." Momo told them.
"Then make me a weapon too!" Kaminari told them.
"Can't you just zap all of them?!" The rock girl asked, taking a swing at another villain that tried their luck and forced them to back off.
"Weren't you paying attention during combat training?! Some partner you were!" The blonde exclaimed in exasperation. "I can cover my body in electricity, but if I shoot it out it'll go everywhere. I'd take you down along with them, or did you want shock treatment today?" He continued. "I can't even call for help because someone is jamming the signal." He added. "But if I could have something like a wire rope or cord I could use that to shock these guys one at a time." He added.
"I got that covered." Momo told him before pulling out two wire whips from her arm. "This should do the job!" She exclaimed before throwing them to him.
"Hell yeah!" Kaminari grinned as he started cracking the two whips and started shooting out arcs for lightning and shocking them like the whips were tasers.
He was fighting like the Marvel villain: Whiplash.
"I should've gotten these with my hero costume in the beginning!" The blonde laughed as he kept fighting.
"They do suit you!" Jiro chuckled as she swung at yet another villain. 'Man, he's kinda badass.' She thought as she blasted a wave of villains with her heartbeat blasts.
"Okay, it's ready!" The rich girl exclaimed as she crouched and a sheet burst from her back… which also shredded her costume, but that went unnoticed as the sheet covered her and Jiro.
"What's that? A blanket?" One of the villains laughed.
"You're looking at a sheet of insulation one hundred millimeters thick." The girl grinned. "Go Kaminari." She added.
"Heh, badass." The electric boy grinned. "Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends! You guys are fried!" He yelled as he sent out his next wave of electricity at the villains.
They all cried out in pain as they were electrocuted, the light from the voltage being visible from outside the mountain zone. After a moment, Momo raised the sheet to look around.
"Now, I'm worried about our classmates." The girl said, causing Jiro to wince.
"Yeah, Midoriya… Do you think she's even still alive?" She winced, before turning to the girl with a blush. "Also you're looking a little over exposed right now." She added.
"I do hope Midoriya is still breathing. It would be devastating to lose her so soon." The rich girl nodded in agreement. "And don't worry. I can just make new clothes." She added. It was then that Kaminari walked by.
"Kaminari, don't you dare look!" The rock girl shouted as she covered the ravenette.
Though upon closer inspection, the blonde was wandering around while babbling with a derpy look on his face.
"Uh…" The earphone girl said, before she blushed again and looked away, her hands on her cheeks. 'Oh God, he's adorable!' She thought to herself.
(Meanwhile)
Back at the entrance, things weren't looking too good. Thirteen had tried to deal with Kurogiri, but he turned her quirk against her and incapacitated her instead.
"Iida get moving!" Sato yelled as the kids surrounded the warp villain.
"Right!" The speedster yelled as he blasted away, running at top speed.
"I think not! BEGONE!" The warp user yelled as he chased after him.
However, Tsu spotted something on his person that looked like a metal collar of sorts. Taking this as an opportunity to open a window for her class rep, she rushed in and grabbed it with her tongue and hurled him away towards the stairs, while Mineta flung his balls at it, sticking him to the floor.
"RUN FOR IT, IIDA!" The short stack of the class yelled.
Iida growled as he reached the doors and pried them open as quickly as he could and squeezed through before breaking into a sprint at full speed.
'He's going to call for backup… It's over.' The warp user thought grimly.
(Elsewhere)
Back with Aizawa and Izumi, the hand villain and Nomu still had the two at their mercy, and the amalgamation had just snapped the Erasure Hero's arms like they were twigs, and broke all four of Izumi's limbs.
"Now… Which of you do I kill first?" The hand villain wondered as he mulled over his option.
"NONE OF THEM!" Katsuki roared as he blasted him away from the two, the Nomu leaping away as well.
With them out of his way, he quickly grabbed Izumi and waited for her to say something–anything– to ease his nerves.
She never did.
"No." The boy gasped as he looked at the girl in his arms. "Nononononono…." He said as Kirishima caught up with them.
"Hey, how's–Oh no…" The redhead gasped.
Katsuki was silent as he shook with a mixture of grief and concentrated fury before…
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!" He roared, his quirk blowing up around him and sending the villains flying back, allowing Kirishima to grab Aizawa.
The leader of the LoV coughed as he and his monster recovered before he looked at the distraught boy.
"Howl all you want, hero. It won't bring her back." He taunted. Katsuki slowly turned his head and glared at him with the promise of death.
"You." He growled as pebbles around him on the ground started to float around him and his body started to flicker with a sun-like aura before he raised his head. His eyes were ablaze with golden flames–his body shining and burning like the sun, the ground melting below him. "I'LL KILL YOU!" He yelled.
"What the fu–?!" The hand villain started to gasp before Katsuki was in front of him in an instant and unleashed an explosion.
The Nomu got in the way, but it was still affected, as proven by how singed it looked on top of being sent skidding back. Katsuki was undeterred, however, and unleashed a barrage of explosions while he roared in fury and grief.
"Whoa! What the hell is going on with Bakugo?" Kirishima gasped as he pulled Izumi and Aizawa away. "Hey come on guys, wake up, now's not the time to be out!" He said frantically trying to wake the two.
"Ngh… What's with… the… noise…?" The erasure hero groaned in pain as he woke up.
"It's Bakugo! He's completely lost it! Please tell me Izumi isn't dead!" The redhead begged frantically.
"Check… her… pulse…" The man got out. Kirishima quickly did so, and was immensely relieved when he felt one.
"That is a relief." He breathed before turning back to his teacher. "She's alive, but just barely. She's just unconscious." He reported. "She needs medical attention, quickly!" He added.
"... Back… Up… Should be… on… its way." The man sighed before he fell unconscious again.
"Oh man, this is bad. Like seriously bad!" He gulped as he looked back at Bakugo as he put his hand to Nomu's face and used the heat gathering in his palms to seer the creature's eyes out!
The hulking creature shrieked in total agony as it was robbed of its sight in the most painful way possible. Katsuki didn't care, however. His only objective was to make this fucker pay for what he did to his Izumi!
"AAAAAAAARRREEGHHHH!" He roared as he kept punching, until his fist went into a familiar looking Warp Gate. "Huh?!" He gasped as the Warp villain appeared.
"Tomura Shigaraki, I have grim news." The villain said, stopping the Pomeranian's assault.
"What is it, Kurogiri?" The now named Tomura questioned.
"I managed to incapacitate Thirteen, but one of the students managed to get outside of the facility. It won't be long until reinforcements arrive." The misty villain reported.
"What…?" Shigaraki growled as he started scratching his neck. "Kurogiri, you fool! If you weren't our warp gate, I'd destroy every last atom of your body!" He yelled. He kept scratching excessively for a few moments before stopping. "Welp, that's it. Game over. Back to the title screen." He sighed.
"OH HELL NO! YOU DON'T GET TO LEAVE!" Katsuki roared as he freed himself from the gate and blasted a hole in the Nomu's chest.
But what astounded him was that as soon as he lept back, the beast started rapidly regenerating.
"What the fuck?!" The blonde cursed as he jumped back, his aura flaring.
"Surprised? This creation was meant to fight All Might. It shouldn't come as a surprise that it's so strong." Tomura boasted. "Shock Absorption, Super Strength and Super Regeneration. He's like a highly effective punching bag that hits back." He added.
"Let's see how much he can fucking take!" Katsuki yelled before…
BOOM!
The sound of something being smashed open rang out, drawing everyone's attention. And in walked…
"It's All Might!" Mina cried in relief that the nightmare was over. True to her words, All Might walked in, and he had a look on his face that just roared 'so you have chosen death.'
"I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong when Aizawa and Thirteen wouldn't answer my calls." The hero began, his face contorted with anger. "So I rushed over, running into Young Iida along the way. He told me of the villainy at work here." He added, striding like a colossus of muscle.
'Whoa! I've never seen All Might look so angry before!' Kirishima thought with a gulp since the No. 1 Hero's angry face actually looked a little frightening.
"And what do I find when I arrive? Thirteen injured while Aizawa and Young Midoriya are brutalized!" He growled furiously. "Have no fear, students!" He told his charges as he ripped his tie off. "Because I am here!" He declared firmly, tearing off his tie.
"At long last, the heroic piece of trash shows up." Shigaraki rasped as Katsuki looked at his idol.
'We'll avenge Izumi together!' He thought, not realizing that his crush was still breathing.
All Might rushed down quicker than anyone could perceive, and knocked out the rest of the villains, bringing Aizawa, Izumi and Kirishima out of danger, the former two's broken bodies in his arms.
"About… time… you… showed up…" The erasure hero groaned, the rapid movement waking him up.
"I am sorry I took so long. And because of all this, you, Thirteen and Young Midoriya have been seriously injured." The blonde told his colleague apologetically. "I'll take things from here. Young Kirishima, keep them safe!" He said before giving the redhead his orders.
"Yes sir!" The boy nodded.
The man then rushed towards the villains and Katsuki, before punching Nomu, only for his punches to do absolutely nothing.
"What?!" The Symbol of Peace gasped.
"Careful! This thing has shock absorption, regeneration and super strength! It's strong enough to fight you!" Katsuki told the man. "I managed to take out its eyes, so it'll be fighting blind!" He added.
He had noticed after a bit that the damage to the eyes hadn't been undone, meaning that Katsuki managed to inflict serious burns to the creature that overpowered its healing abilities.
"Excellent work, young Bakugo!" The No. 1 Hero exclaimed. "But you should leave this to me. Go with the others, young Midoriya will surely need you." He told his student.
"What? But–" The bomber tried to protest before being cut off.
"She's still breathing. She's just unconscious." All Might interjected. This ,ade Katsuki glance at Izumi before looking back at the No. 1 Hero.
"No." He told him before he looked in Izumi's direction. "I'm staying here." He stated.
"Young Bakugo–!" The hero protested.
"Shut up!" The pomeranian yelled, taking the man aback as the Sun aura returned. "These bastards hurt Izumi, my precious little Izumi–so now I'm gonna make them hurt!" He added, tears evaporating as they poured down his face.
'He truly cares about her so much that he'll do everything he can to exact justice for what's happened.' The large man thought in amazement before smiling. 'That's the spirit of a true hero!' He added in approval before nodding at his student. "Very well. Let's fight side by side and make these villains pay!" He exclaimed.
"Now that's what I like to hear! Let's go!" Katsuki yelled with a savage grin.
The two then charged forward at the now blinded Nomu, the beast wildly doing the same.
Dragon Emperor0: Oh man, that was not what I was expecting. I didn't expect Izumi to get beaten to a pulp like Aizawa there, her powers didn't even scratch him.
ThermalsniperN7: At least she got one hit in. Tomura kinda asked for that nutshot, so I'm not complaining. Katsuki, meanwhile… Hooooooo boy, he is pissed. And he has all the rights to be. I gotta wonder, though: That powerup he got… is that what I think it is?
Dragon Emperor0: It could be. Though I do question why he hasn't gained any muscle mass if it's what I think it is… Guess we'll have to wait and see. Seriously though, if it turns out that he's part Goddess and has Sunshine, then the LoV is fucking screwed.
ThermalsniperN7: If All for One gets any delusions about taking Sunshine, then Imma laugh long and hard since I'm pretty sure that he'll fail and get burned. Sunshine isn't a quirk, last I checked. And Katsuki has chosen to stay and fight against the Nomu to avenge Izumi… Talk about absolute devotion.
Dragon Emperor0: This version of Katsuki is definitely a Chad. And I'm not complaining in the slightest, and neither is Izumi. Anyway guys, see you next time with the last two episodes of Season 1.
