U.A is considered the number 1 ranked high school for heroics in Japan. Many excellent pro heroes had studied there, that includes the number two hero Endeavor, and the number one hero All Might.
This is why so many strive to be accepted into such a successful high school. As well as the fact that All Might is teaching here.
Two weeks already pass at the start of the school year at U.A.
Bakugou walked through the entrance and headed towards his desk. The first week was hell for the first year especially Bakugou class, his teacher Aizawa decided to start them off with an assessment exam with the consequence of expelling them if they received a low score. Not that Bakugou care since he passed the exam without breaking a sweat, but he got below first place which was annoying to Bakugou. Also, that stupid alarm went off because those damn reporters were trying to get into the school to see if they could interview All Might.
Seating down, Bakugou decided to rest for a little, given that he had arrived earlier than usual. He wanted to leave the house early since his mother started her usual yelling earlier than expected. He was just about to eat breakfast before he left for school when his mother decided to yell at him for accidentally dropping his bowl.
"It was the old hag's fault for making me drop it." thought Bakugou as he remembered the incident.
"Katsuki what the hell?!"
"It's not my fault! You fucking slap me on the head for no fucking reason!"
"Just for a hit on the head you drop a fucking plate?! I thought you were supposed to be strong like you always remind us!"
"What the fuck does that have to do with me getting fucking hit for no fucking reason old hag!"
"Shut the hell up! And pick this shit up!"
"Aren't you going to help me at least old hag?!"
"Why should I?! You made the mess so pick it up yourself!"
"Fucking fine!"
"Oi Katsuki where the fuck are you going?!"
"To school, where else old hag?!"
"You didn't eat though!"
"I'm not hungry anymore, old hag!"
Bakugou turn to face the window and muttered to himself, "Acting as if she cares about me after she fucking blame me for no fucking reason." Deciding to forget it, Bakugou lifted his legs on top of his desk and closed his eyes.
"Better take a nap right now before that four eyes arrive and start bitching about my manners," said Bakugou.
As everything went black, those images appeared in his dream. Young Bakugou playing in the playground with two other boys, one had purple hair and the other green hair. They were playing heroes and running around with bright smiles on their faces. The mood quickly changes as the image of the children playing crumble to dust, flashes to a cemetery where the three boys were, with many adults surrounding them. They were lowering someone to the ground, their friend's green eyes were holding nothing but sadness as he started to cry. The image crumble once again and was replaced with older Bakugou pushing the friend with green hair to the ground, the friend with the purple hair kneeling next to him asking if he was okay. The last image that appeared was near their old school, the friend with purple hair grabbing him by the collar of his shirt with eyes fill with pure rage and tears as he shouted.
"It should have been you, not Izuku!"
Without warning, Bakugou's eyes went wide as he violently grabbed the wrist of the person's hand on his shoulder. Kirishima stares at him with wide eyes at his friend's reaction, as well as the other classmates near him.
"Uh, Bakubro I just wanted to tell you class about to start.." said Kirishima as he was taken by surprise by Bakugou's reaction.
Bakugou was cursing himself for showing this side of him, letting go of Kirishima's wrist. "Alright. Also, don't fucking do shit like that shitty hair! I can wake up on my own!" shouted Bakugou. Kirishima nodded his head and headed to his seat. Bakugou removed his legs from the desk and placed them on the ground. He ran his hand through his hair as he turned to face the window.
"Fuck! These stupid dreams or nightmares or whatever the fuck they are, is driving fucking me insane!" thought Bakugou as his face became stiff at remembering the last words his childhood friend shouted at him.
"Why?" muttered quietly Bakugou so many years passed and these feelings still don't go away. As those depressing thoughts returned, the shadows were appearing behind Bakugou's back ready to exploit this moment of weakness of his. However, the opportunity disappears as Bakugou's teacher Aizawa walks through the door.
"Okay class, for today we will be heading to U.S.J for some rescue training, So, go put on your hero suits and meet at the entrance where the bus will wait for us," said Aizawa in his usual tired voice. Class 1-A headed to the change room and started to get ready. Bakugou was putting on his hero suit quietly which was strange to his male classmates. Since he would always complain about how loud they were and to get out of his way.
"Oi Bakugou you good man?" Ask Kaminari even though he knew he was about to get chewed out by Bakugou for asking that.
Preparing himself for his friend yelling, it came as a shock when Bakugou slammed his locker and muttered "I'm fine dunce face."
He headed out of the change room without saying any other words. Kirishima shouted out at Bakugou to wait for him but Bakugou really wasn't in the mood for anything, he wanted to just go practice for a while to forget all these pathetic things in his mind.
Noticing that Kirishima was able to catch up to him and was walking next to him but saying nothing. Kirishima was staring carefully at him without saying a word which was more annoying than when he was talking nonstop like he always did.
"Spit it out shitty hair." Said Bakugou who was already in a bad mood for the shitty morning he was going through.
"Oh! I just wanted to say if you ever need a friend to talk to, I'm here, bakubro." Said Kirishima. Bakugou looked at him with raised eyebrows and Kirishima started to rephrase what he meant.
"Wait! I mean I know that there is some stuff that is personal so you don't have to tell me! Just if you need a friend to rant about things, I'm here for you, bakugou."
Bakugou knew the shitty hair meant it in a good way but his pride and ego would reject the offer. Though deep inside he wanted to change his ways, it was just difficult after so many years.
"It should have been you, not Izuku!"
Biting his bottom lip, Bakugou muttered out "whatever shitty hair." Kirishima, taking that as Bakugou accepting the offer, was smiling brightly towards Bakugou and talking excitedly about the rescue training.
"You wouldn't be smiling at me if you knew the truth…" thought Bakugou as he felt he didn't deserve Kirishima's kindness. He saw the illusion of his childhood friend with green hair next to him staring with those empty green eyes that Bakugou was one of the reasons for and the illusion disappeared once again.
As they reach the entrance, Bakugou saw at the other side of the hall, someone's fluffy purple hair past the corner of his eyes. Stopping immediately he spun around. No one was there.
"Something wrong Bakugou?" asks Kirishima curiously.
"No… I thought I saw someone that I knew a long time ago," muttered Bakugou unaware as he turned back and headed to the entrance.
"Hey, Shinsou! Let's eat lunch together! said one of his classmates, if Shinsou remembers correctly her name was Azumi and her quirk had to do with absorbing electricity and transporting it to other electrical objects. Nonetheless, Shinsou couldn't lose focus of his goal and told her that he was going to study in the library.
"What did he say, Azumi?" ask Azumi's friend.
"He said thanks for the offer but that he was going to head to the library to study," sighed Azumi.
"I swear we are barely on the second week of school and Shinsou is already hitting the books." said one of their classmates, with short pink hair.
"I know right! Hiro, you have been to the library before. what exactly does Shinsou do there?!" ask Azumi. Hiro was startled at the attention but still answer.
"From what I notice he studies about quirks and so on."
"Man, do you think the reason is that he is just a nerd?"
"Botan!"
"What! I'm not saying it like it's a bad thing!"
"I don't think it's that," interjected Hiro. The classmates who were near him turn to face him.
"What do you mean?" ask Azumi. Hiro had his head on top of his hand as he was in deep thoughts.
"I think Shinsou is trying to get himself accept into the hero class here at U.A." Said Hiro, staring at his classmates.
Shinsou let out a sneeze as he wandered down through the library looking for a book with the topic on his mind. Unlike in the district he live in, the lack of books was not a problem here in U.A. Shelves fill with books three time his height were everywhere in this huge library. Finally finding the book, Shinsou went to sit down at one of the desks. The book seemed old with the bent corners and the yellow-whitish pages, but Shinsou didn't mind.
Identifying Weaknesses and Strengths In Quirks was the book title, Shinsou knew that this book would help him in gaining more knowledge in helping him figure out his weaknesses and strengths in his own quirk along with giving him ways to identify weaknesses in his enemies. Shinsou made that promise that he will do everything he can to get accepted into the hero class and that's what he plans on doing.
Midoriya wonders if this world was cruel or was it, humans, that are cruel. He likes to believe that others wonder that as well. It was cold in his prison cell once again, his body was shaking from the cold, he thought that maybe if he closed his eyes, he could succumb to the cold. But he knew life wouldn't be that kind to him.
For being the Grim Reapers' precious treasure, they treat him like shit. Midoriya wasn't even asking that much, just a blanket was fine. Well, at any moment he was going to get called for by the ones he served since their client informed them what they wanted Midoriya to do.
"We want to Midoriya to analyze All Might, the symbol of peace, and see if he's getting weaker. Maybe even ways to exploit those weaknesses."
The boy let out an empty laugh at remembering what the man had told them. All Might, the number one hero of Japan, and the symbol of peace. Symbol of Peace? The idea that a man could represent peace sounded just pure hypocrisy. Could he stop the countless abuse that people who were quirkless experience or the discrimination against those with villainous quirks? No, he sadly can't.
No matter what one man can do or represent, he can not fight against the prejudice that those on the top of society have against those we were born at the bottom. For someone like All Might, who was on the top of society with such an amazing quirk, never face the challenges that those at the bottom face almost daily.
Being turned down just for having a quirk that was considered dangerous, the looks of disgust at being quirkless as if that made them any less human, the abuse that became too much at times that death was a blessing to them and so much more. And these so-called heroes question why people like him resort to violence or live under the dark belly of society. Well, violence was the only thing they experienced and the only thing they knew.
Midoriya always likes to think that people like him are shadows who crave sunlight but will burn and disappear if they touch it. They still wish for it as they remain in the darkness with looks of envy at the ones who get to bask in the sunlight without any care in the world.
Although Midoriya wasn't completely stupid, he knew these so-called heroes are a base in this society, if they fall then society falls with them. That's why Midoriya thought life was unfair, even if you strive for a change it would be useless.
This society is like a house of cards. On top of the house cards, you have people who are praised and loved while on the bottom you have the ones who are looked down on with either hatred or pity. Take one of the cards in the middle where it represents the heroes. Whether corrupt or not, they are the ones who maintain the balance of this unstable economy. Pull one of those cards and the whole house of cards collapses taking the ones at the top and the bottom down with it.
It was weird that Midoriya had these thoughts about heroes when he used to worship them when he was young. It shows how your views and beliefs can change once you experience the dark side of society. While he knows that not everyone with strong or amazing quirks is like that, it's hard to forget the pain he went through by people like them.
All Might, would he care about people like him or would he give disgusted looks at him? Blaming them for the flaws of this so-called perfect society. Midoriya doesn't know anymore. Those pitiful thoughts died the day when he lost hope that any heroes would rescue him.
Now he doesn't care about heroes, that they were similar to the ones who treated him like he was an abomination just for something that he biologically didn't have a choice in the matter.
"Heyo Midoriya!" Said Shi out of nowhere. Midoriya would have been startled if years of abuse weren't impending in his mind.
Midoriya turn to face Shi, noticing on top of his spiky blue hair was a white mask, along with his maniacal smile did Midoriya realize it was time. It was a pity that Shi who appearance was a bit handsome with his blue eyes, nice jaw, and charming voice had to be a psychotic manic who got turned on by pain. The prison cell door was slung open, Midoriya started to exit. Standing in front of Shi, did the man put his hands on top of Midoriya's shoulders.
Bending down next to Midoriya's ear was when he whispered. "Make sure you do a good job." Midoriya could feel his hot breath next to his ear, nodding his head knowing how it would go if he did a bad job. Shi, taking that as good obedience, whispers once again next to his ear. "Good boy."
Midoriya internally got chills from Shi's words, knowing full well of Shi's psychopathic tendencies. The times he remembers hearing behind the door in front of his prison cell, the women or men that Shi would bring over for some 'quality time' pass by. The way that they would be either drunk from alcohol or high from drugs as they were helped by Shi as he called them "Good girl" or "Good boy" as a way to coax them. It didn't take Midoriya long to realize that they never left this place, with Shi showing up one day after his 'quality time' covered in blood and complaining how they left him unsatisfied. Those eyes staring down on Midoriya as if he was prey along with the coldness Midoriya felt through his body at realizing how dangerous the people who were holding him were.
The pat on his back from Shi snaps him from his thoughts, knowing better he follows Shi's lead. Arriving at the spot that they went to last, Akumazoku was standing there with a similar mask that Shi had. Her arms were folded as she was in deep thoughts.
"Oi Akumazoku, what's with the grumpy bitch face?" said Shi.
"Fuck off, Shi! I was thinking about this job?" complain Akumazoku.
"What about this job?"
"I still think we shouldn't have taken it. This time we are exposing the grim reapers' precious treasure in front of heroes."
"This shit again. We are getting well paid just for one task that Midoriya gotta do."
"It's fucking All Might we're talking about!" shouted Akumazoku.
"I know bitch! Besides, we have a backup plan if shit hits the fan," said Shi.
"Still… master would get punished severely if the grim reaper's precious treasure ends up getting capture." Talking like Midoriya can't hear them, but that's the truth about his life. If he wasn't gifted with this quirk and his talent for analyzing fights, he would have been easily disposed of.
"You got a point, still we are bringing in good cash for the organization especially for the project that we are almost finishing. So for once think positive bitch. "
"Fine! And stop calling a bitch, fucking asshole!" After finishing their conversation, Akumazoku turn to Midoriya who was hearing the conversation with a blank expression. Pulling something from her side was another white mask.
"Here brat. Make sure to wear this right," said Akumazoku. Without saying a word, he put on the white mask that cover his entire face, leaving only his dark green eyes to expose.
Waiting for the black portal to show up once again, Akumazoku spoke to Midoriya. "Brat, we are staying in the back while all those idiots are fighting. Only listen to me and Shi, and not none of those members of the league of villains especially the asshole with the dry skin. All you gotta do is analyze All Might and once you have everything we are leaving. Got it?"
Shi decides to add some comments as well. "And Midoriya don't think about asking for any help from the heroes. You should remember they don't help people like you unlike us who took you in when everyone abandoned and hated you."
Shi went to pet his fluffy green hair as if he was trying to show an act of caring, which would have made Midoriya feel a sense of disgust. Now, he didn't know how to react, what Shi was saying was the truth. Society and the heroes that he had loved as a child abandoned him just for being quirkless, learning about the truths behind these so-called heroes, the abuse he went through by his peers and the adults that were supposed to protect him, and so much. Unlike the Grim Reapers who took him in and didn't abandon him like everyone. Sure they abused him in the beginning but as long as he was obedient they didn't hurt him that much. So, maybe they were right, that the heroes wouldn't care about him no matter what. They would probably lock him up considering that he was technically a villain.
Even though Midoriya's mind was in a disarray, he nodded his head to affirm their orders. Shi went to pet his fluffy green hair again. "Good boy," said Shi with a less maniacal smile. Midoriya cringes internally at Shi's act of affection again.
Akumazoku scoffed at Shi and muttered, "Your one fuck up person Shi." It seems that Shi heard it and glared at Akumazoku, "you're one to talk, if I remember correctly you fucking beat one of master's minions to death cause he supposedly insulted the organization about something trivial."
"And?" said Akumazoku with raised eyebrows, as if questioning what was weird about it.
"Bitch! We know that is a fucking lie! You just beat the dude to death cause you got jealous he was getting close to master!"
"The fuck are you talking about why would I do that?!"
"Cause you have a fucking sick obsession with master! That's why bitch!" shouted Shi.
"Your one to talk, for someone who has sex like a fucking rabbit and enjoys making his partners bleed out! Sick foreplay bastard!"
"Bitch you always think about getting stomp by master or fucking worst things about our master! You damn kinky sub!"
Midoriya really wants to leave for once to do this job than hear this conversation of Shi and Akumazoku, he already knew how fucking crazy they were but he rather not hear more about their murderous tendencies or dark fantasies. Before the conversation escalated, a black portal appeared in front of them. Getting back to their serious face, Shi and Akumazoku stop their banter and place their masks on their faces. Regretting his thoughts since Midoriya remembered his target, however, he had no say in the matter.
"Let's go," said Shi. Akumazoku and Shi were in front as they headed towards the black portal, Midoriya follow their lead hoping that the job would be over fast.
Arriving at the entrance of USJ, Bakugou heard all his classmate's loud excited voices. He couldn't help but find it annoying and wanted to go inside so they can get this rescue training over with. He would rather be fighting than rescuing since Bakugou can show his abilities and everyone can admire him.
"Or you want to boost that fragile ego of yours." Said one of the voices in his head. Bakugou grinds his teeth at the stupid voice comment.
"Alright students, let's head in." Said Aizawa as he guided them. Entering U.S.J, Bakugou couldn't help but admire the place. Different parts in U.S.J were of different environments that would help students specialize in real-life situations.
"Wow!" Said some of Bakugou's classmates.
"Hello, students! My name is Thirteen, and I will be one of your teachers for today's training!" Said the hero Thirteen, their astronaut suit made the students focus their attention back on their teacher. Bakugou noticed that Aizawa was whispering to Thirteen about something, to which Thirteen responded with three fingers. Finding it a hassle Bakugou ignore whatever was going on with his teachers. Thirteen was talking about the dangers of quirks and how one must use them wisely. It was making Bakugou bored.
"Remember students your quirks can be used to hurt people or to protect people. It's your decision to choose which path you want to take. Which I'm glad that all of you, as students of U.A, decide to use your quirk to protect instead of hurting others." said Thirteen as they were finishing up their speech. Bakugou flinches at Thirteen words, and those damn voices were back once again.
"Protect!? You heard that Bakugou!?"
"Do you deserve being a hero after what you did?"
"Someone who doesn't even know what that means deserves nothing but pain."
"Shut up!" Bakugou angrily thought.
Suddenly, his teacher Aizawa turn to face the middle of the U.S.J where a big fountain was. A big purple portal appeared near it, where numerous villains were walking out of it. Bakugou's classmates were confused and were wondering if this was part of the training. Bakugou could tell something was wrong.
"Thirteen protect the students!" yell Aizawa, who quickly put on his yellow goggles and was running towards the villains.
"What's going on?!" cried out one of Bakugou's classmates.
"Is this part of the training" asked Kirishima.
"They're real villains idiot!" yell Bakugou, cursing about what a day he was having.
"Shouldn't the alarms went off!" shout Yaoyorozu. All the students had fearful expressions.
"Students quickly let escape!" ordered Thirteen. Class 1-A and Thirteen were running towards the exit when another purple portal appear, this time they could hear the voice of the person.
"I'm afraid I can't let you leave, since our target is All Might but he isn't here. We decided to have a change of plan." said the man with the quirk of creating the purple portals. His body was in front of them as the purple portal with only a metal brace around his neck is visible.
"What do you want with All Might!" yell Thirteen, who was secretly getting their quirk, black hole ready
"Simply, we wish to kill him. Now to bring him out we will scatter you all and kill you!"
"I won't let you!" Thirteen was about to open one of their fingers to activate their quirk, a big black hole when Bakugou and Kirishima appeared in front of them as they launched an attack.
"Fucking die!" yell Bakugou. A loud explosion had occurred and a cloud of smoke was in front of them. As it clear up, the students and teacher saw that the man wasn't fazed by their attack and even complimented them. "As expected of U.A students. Too bad." He proceeds to open a small portal under Bakugou and Kirishima, who disappear in a flash.
"Bakugou! Kirishima!" cried out their classmates.
"You damn villain!" shouted Thirteen, who was using their quirk and made the black portal disappear with their quirk.
"Thirteen while you are experienced in rescuing, you lack in fighting experience." said the man's voice as he opened another purple portal behind Thirteen. The man mercilessly used Thirteen quirk against them, the black hole was ripping their white spacesuit.
"Thirteen!" shouted the students. Before Thirteen quirk could completely destroy them, Todoroki launched a wave of ice towards the purple portal in front of them. Which distracts the man as the purple portal behind Thirteen disappears.
Some of the students were next to Thirteen, trying to help in any way. "It looks like I'm getting distracted, let's end this quick." said the voice as he open several purple portals under some of the students. They quickly disappear through the portals, leaving only a few of the students with the injured Thirteen.
The remaining students were nervously staring at the enemy in front of them, who was blocking their only way to get any heroes. Some of the remaining students realize the life and death situation they're in and what they had to do in order for them to get help.
"l-lida w-we will distract him for you to escape." nervously muttered Uraraka. lida was startled by his classmate's request.
"I-I can't leave y-you guys behind!"
"lida with your quirk, you can escape quickly." said Sato, who was supporting the plan.
"B-but-"
"We believe in you, class president" interjected Tokoyami. lida saw their fearful but determined faces on his classmate's faces and their fighting positions, biting his bottom lip he reluctantly agreed to the plan.
"You shouldn't say your plan in front of your enemy!" said the man as he made his body made of purple smoke attack the students. Sato and Tokoyami were running towards the man on pure adrenaline as they were avoiding them as much as possible.
"It's useless, you can't escape no matter what!" yelled the man. Suddenly he felt someone on top of his neck brace. Uraraka was able to sneak up on the man even with a stiff expression, she spoke to the man.
"You're right but that doesn't mean we will give up. " Placing all her fingers on the man's neck brace, who realized that the man still had to have a physical body. The man was going to shake Uraraka off but felt someone grabbing him on the side. Looking down, it was Sato who was helping Uraraka.
"Go lida!" shouted lida's classmates, beads of sweat falling from their forehead from hidden fear. Biting his bottom lip, lida hurriedly activated his quirk engine, giving him super-speed as he sped off towards the exit. That had an opening when they were trying to escape.
"No!" shouted the man as he try to open another portal, the students didn't give him the chance as Sato lifted the man's body and started to spin him around. Uraraka fell to the ground but was able to hold control of her quirk and it made it easy for Sato to throw the man. Once lida went past the door, did his classmates feel a little relieved that someone was going to get the heroes.
The feeling disappeared when they realized the predicament they were still in. The man seeing lida escape knew he had to tell the others the bad news.
"Tsk. I have to report to Shigaraki about this." the man disappear like his other portals, however leaving a portal blocking the students from the door. Even though the villain disappear the students fell to the ground as their legs became weak due to the life and death situation they were just in.
Now they had no choice but to remain in their position, too afraid to move Thirteen due to their injuries. And only hope that the heroes come as fast as they can, and the safety of their classmates and teacher Aizawa.
Midoriya saw the numerous villains that were below. It seems that Kurogiri, the one with the body of purple smoke, had them teleport to a higher position near those villains. Shi and Akumazou were in front of him while Shigarki was standing next to them. He had all those severe hands placed everywhere on his body including his face. Midoriya looks below them to where one of the heroes was fighting against all of those villains.
Midoriya had to admit that the hero was doing a decent job at fighting all those villains, pity that exhaustion was going to hit the hero soon. His black hair floated in the air as he was tying down the villains with his capture weapon. With a quick scan with his quirk did Midoriya realize who the hero was.
Aizawa Shouta, otherwise known as the underground hero Eraserhead, his quirk Erasure grants him the ability to temporarily erase other people's powers simply by looking at them. After a few seconds of scanning did Midoriya figure out the weaknesses of Eraserhead. However, he kept it quiet, he doesn't understand why. Midoriya's mind and heart were in disarray, the thoughts of helping with the thoughts of just following orders and watch the heroes and students die in front of him were fighting for control.
Midoriya hated this when they bring him to the job, how this quirk of his was used, the way that he would have to watch from afar how the villains he provide service for would hurt others. The way the victims would stare as they died as the light from their eyes disappear. It felt like they blamed him, and the fact that Midoriya agree with them. He was a villain so why does he care about people who threw him to the side, mistreated him for so many years?
Even after so many years of abuse, these feelings were still there. Midoriya kept repeating in his mind. "Why? After everything they did, do you still care about them?"
"Oi bastard where the fuck is All Might!?" said Akumazou, this made Midoriya snap out from his thoughts. Shigaraki lets out a tsk sound from his mouth as he turns to face them.
"It seems that All Might isn't here," muttered Shigaraki as he started to scratch the back of his neck, Midoriya thought that it must be a habit of his when he was angry or probably annoyed. Midoriya was just making the guess from what he can tell from his personality.
"What the hell?! You said All Might should have been here! How the hell is Rabbit supposed to analyze All Might?!" complained Akumazou. 'Rabbit' Midoriya codename for when he was outside, which sounds strange since they call him by his real name but to the outside world he was considered dead. So, it was better to keep it that way was what the grim reapers thought.
"She's right. What the hell are we supposed to do? Wait here until he shows up with more heroes! That was not part of the deal!" said harshly Shi.
Midoriya saw Shigaraki scratching the back of his neck harder, and was surprised he wasn't bleeding.
"Shut the hell up NPCs!" shouted Shigaraki towards Shi and Akumazou. He turns back towards the fight between Eraserhead and the villains that the League of Villains recruit.
"This isn't how it was supposed to go!" muttered angry Shigaraki. Shi and Akumazou weren't backing down, Midoriya was thinking that a disagreement or worse a fight was going to happen between them and Shigaraki. To make matters worse, Kurogiri appears near Shigaraki to report about their escapee.
"Shigaraki, a student, was able to escape. We will have to escape before the heroes come," said Kurogiri. Midoriya was thinking about how the league of villains was talking about this great plan they had to defeat All Might that completely went to shit due to their miscalculation.
"They might as well retreat or they would run the risk of getting caught by the heroes." thought Midoriya. He felt that Shigaraki probably isn't going to do that, given his personality.
"This isn't supposed to go this way!" muttered angrily, Shigaraki.
"Oi if you're going to retreat, then open a portal for us so we can leave already! We ain't risking rabbit getting caught!" Shouted Shi who was already upset about the whole plan.
"Shut up! No one said we are going to retreat!" Shouted Shigaraki, who was glaring at them.
"Shigaraki if we don't retreat then more heroes will come." Inform Kurogiri.
Shigaraki was looking at the fight between Aizawa and the villains, an expression of pure bloodlust was on Shigaraki's face that even made Shi and Akumazou take a step back.
"Let's at least leave them something they remember," said Shigaraki as he watched Aizawa fighting the villians and made his request. "Release the nomu."
Midoriya did not have a single clue in what was going to happen but that sentence brought chills to his body. He turned his focus to Kurogiri, who let out a tired sigh as a purple portal was opening next to them. Midoriya knew that he hadn't felt emotions for a long time but whatever that thing was, brought him the feeling of pure fear that he hadn't experienced from a young age. Their bulky body was dark skin and muscular, its brain was on the outside and it was swaying like a mindless zombie. It looked so human but at the same time, it wasn't. That was why Midoriya felt fear, he knew about the dark belly of society from sex trafficking, drugs, murders, rapes, and so many horrible things. Along with all these things, there was one thing that people like him were prey on… human experimentation.
Midoriya knew that it was fuck up and why would anyone do such a thing. Sadly in this world, there are a lot of mess-up people, so why not? The perfect opportunity is available for these people when there are certain people who are considered less human by others so why not use those who have no voice to defend themselves.
Midoriya was kept alive for his ability to analyze, so he knows for a fact that this thing, or whatever it is, used to be a human without a doubt.
Before he could process his thoughts, Shigaraki spoke once again. "Nomu attacked the hero. Kurogiri teleports us to where the hero is. I want to see the fight. " Without a second to waste, the nomu launched itself towards Eraserhead at the speed of light. Midoriya didn't want to think that Eraserhead was as good as dead.
"Please get here on time… I don't want to see someone die again…" thought Midoriya, who for the first time hoped that the heroes would get here on time for once. He doesn't want to see an innocent person die again. The purple smoke was surrounding them as they were about to have front seats to this bloodbath.
"I'm using my quirk too much." thought Aizawa, as he wrapped his capture weapon on the last villain standing and threw them to the ground.
"I have to get to the boss of this attack!" muttered Aizawa, looking towards the direction of Shigaraki that Aizawa thought were in charge of this attack.
Suddenly he realizes that Shigaraki and the other villains weren't there anymore.
"Shit! Where did they go?!" Before Aizawa could look, a muscular body slammed against him sending him flying a few feet.
Managing to regain his balance, Aizawa landed on his feet, the hard impact made him cough some blood from his mouth. Lifting his head, Aizawa saw the human or monster in front of him.
"Do you like it, hero?" said a voice. Turning towards it, Aizawa saw the same young man with light blue unkempt hair. The young man's whole body was covered with several chop off hands. Next to the young man, was a man whose body was made of purple smoke. On the other side were a woman and a man with white masks covering their faces. The last person he saw made Aizawa flinch in surprise.
It was a young boy around the same age as his students. His curly fluffy hair was green, and even though his face was covered with a white mask Aizawa could see the boy's empty green eyes. Aizawa knew that there was no way this boy was a villain. The fact that all the boy was wearing was a long yellowish-white shirt that reached his knees, along with the fact that around his ankles were chains. Aizawa's blood was boiling with anger, sure he might be a strict teacher but Aizawa cares deeply for children.
The boy and Aizawa made eye contact for a minute when the young man spoke again.
"What do you think, hero? This nomu will be the one to kill All Might." said the young man in a murderous tone. Aizawa averts his eyes away from the boy and glares at the young man.
"What wishful thinking."
"Oh really. Why don't we put it to the test."
On command, the nomu ran towards Aizawa, who managed to use his capture weapon around the nomu body to hold them in place.
"My quirk isn't working!" thought Aizawa, when he tried to lift the nomu up. Shigaraki noticed Aizawa's stiff expression and let out a loud laugh.
"What's wrong hero?! Is it too much for you?!"
Aizawa muttered some curses, as the nomu escaped Aizawa's capture weapon, now it was in front of him. Grabbing him by the neck, the nomu proceed to slam him to the ground. Aizawa felt a huge pain throughout his body as it made contact with the ground.
A dent was created from how hard the nomu had slammed Aizawa towards the ground. Having no mercy the creature went to punch Aizawa multiple times, there could be no way the hero could be alive.
The nomu finally stopped as it lifted Aizawa's body with one hand as if it weighed nothing.
"Good job nomu." laughed Shigaraki echoed throughout the area.
Midoriya couldn't breathe, the way Eraserhead's body look as if he was dead. No! Not again!
"It's your fault!"
"No! I didn't do anything!"
"Everything is your fault! You deserve to die!"
"Why?! I didn't tell them about Eraserhead's quirk!"
"You knew by watching the fight the weaknesses of that nomu!"
"I-I couldn't even say anything!"
"Why? Didn't you say that you don't want to watch an innocent person die again?"
"I did b-but I - "
"But what? Are you nothing but a coward? Are you that selfish?"
Midoriya was grabbing his head as if telling it to stop. He doesn't want to hear those thoughts. Not now.
"Shigaraki, we must leave now. The heroes will come any minute-" Kurogiri's sentence was interrupted when an explosion occurred in front of the door of the entrance. A huge cloud of smoke was covering the area as a person was walking through it. There in his mighty presence was the one and only All Might. His expression was of pure fury at the villain attack that happened to his students.
"He's here," shouted Shigaraki as if this was the moment he was waiting his whole life. Midoriya saw Shi and Akumazou flinch in the presence of All Might. Midoriya felt the same intense pressure from the number one hero. The students' relieved voices could be heard.
"Nomu drop the body." ordered Shigaraki. The nomu mindlessly did as he was told and the body of Aizawa landed with a thud.
"Villians how dare you attack innocent children!" Shouted All Might as he disappeared from the top of the stairs to where Aizawa was dropped and disappeared once again. Appearing a good distance away from the nomu and the villains, he was standing near the water area.
All Might look down at his friend's injured body, blood dripping from his head. Aizawa appeared dead if it wasn't for the ragged breathing that shows the hints of him hanging by a thread. All Might was fearful of what internal injuries Aizawa had received from such an attack.
Furrowing his eyebrows, All Might's face was contorted to an upset expression. "Forgive me, Aizawa," said All Might. Midoriya wants this to be over, he's tired of everything. All Might is just going to make things more difficult.
"Innocent Children, these so called children are becoming heroes shouldn't they at least be prepared All Might?" Said Shigaraki with a maniacal smile. Midoriya swear this man had to have a fuck up childhood for him to be this insane in front of the number one hero.
Turning to face All Might, who was muttering something as if someone was behind. As All Might placed Aizawa on the ground, when Midoriya saw that there were three students hiding in the water. A boy with red and white split hair, a girl with long green hair, and a boy with purple balls on his head.
"Oh god, they probably saw everything." Thought Midoriya as he stared at their stiff expressions. "That's probably something they will never forget," Midoriya thought again.
"Enough! Nomu attacked them!" Ordered Shigaraki, who grew impatient. The nomu charge towards All Might and the students direction. As it lifted its arm to launch a punch, All Might countered it with a punch as well. The impact could be felt around the area and at the front entrance.
Midoriya was stunned from the show of strength of All Might quirk. The fight was going on,and the nomu was actually managing to keep up with All Might movements. However, Midoriya knew that it was lacking in ways. Looking in the students direction, Midoriya notices them rushing towards the front entrance. The boy with red and white hair was behind them, appearing to be debating in the following or to help All Might.
"He's going to help All Might." Said Midoriya out loud by accident. Realizing what he did, Midoriya rapidly turned to Shigaraki, Akumazou, and Shi. Cursing himself for this habit that he had as a child, now it was going to cost someone life.
"Oh is someone trying to interfere with my plans?" Said Shigaraki. Turning to the students, Shigaraki appears to be planning to attack those defenseless students.
"Fuck!" Thought Midoriya. His feet reacted without warning, grabbing Shigaraki by the wrist of his sleeve. Shi and Akumazou had surprise expressions at this act of his, given that he never acted out in fear of being punished. Midoriya doesn't even know why he did it.
"Oi weakling let go of me?!"
"Y-you shouldn't focus on a weakling like that s-student! He won't be able to defend himself against that nomu of yours, which is on par with All Might! Besides, you want to defeat All Might, isn't that right!" Midoriya managed to say. He knew people like Shigaraki, must be praised for them to calm down.
Shigaraki looked at him with disgust that he was used to seeing on people's faces, however after hearing Midoriya's words gave him a blank stare. Shaking his wrist from Midoriya's grasp, "Your right weakling. I shouldn't waste my strength on NPCs."
Midoriya let out a relieved sigh, it disappeared as he felt a hand through his hair and tugged him back with a strong force. Letting out a loud cry from the pain, Midoriya saw Shi's furious eyes behind the mask.
"What did I say about misbehaving Rabbit," said Shi, his eyes staring so hard that Midoriya felt they were burning holes through his head. Gulping a breath of air, Midoriya didn't have the courage to reply knowing that what he did was stupid but at least he manage to spare those children's lives.
Before he could come up with a reply All Might was still going against the nomu. The clashes between the monster and All Might could be felt throughout USJs. Thankfully it made Shi remove his grip from Midoriya's hair.
Midoriya knew better even if what that man had said was true about All Might getting weaker, All Might would come out as the winner no matter what. Given the man's willingness to protect people. He honestly still questions the job he was tasked with.
"So what you want is that if your project or whatever it's called doesn't manage to defeat All Might. To make Midoriya analyze All Might for his weaknesses for you guys to make improvements to your project…"
"Indeed, our head scientist wishes to see what improvements are needed to make the nomus better soldiers."
"Fine we accept as long as we get our payment no matter what."
He should have expected human experimentation was happening for these nomus to exist. Midoriya would have laughed at the fact that he was still naive after so many years.
Snapping from his thoughts, Midoriya saw that the nomu had its arms around All Might's stomach and proceeded to squeeze with all the strength it had.
"He's bleeding." thought Midoriya, his observing eyes noticing the small drop of blood near All Might's mouth. He might be wrong then, All Might might die today.
"Is the nomu too much for you to handle All Might!" shouted Shigaraki.
"Does he always need to provoke others?" wondered Midoriya.
The nomu grip was getting tighter, All Might appeared to be struggling due to his arms being crushed as well. The students' worried shouts could be heard, Midoriya wondered if today would be the day that these future heroes will see the downfall of the hero they consider the symbol of peace. It's a pity. Those bright eyes of those students will become dim from the loss of the man they consider the strongest.
"It will take more than this to make me go down like this, villains!" yelled All Might. It was as if All Might wasn't even giving his full potential as his muscles started to become more bulkier. With this All Might easily got out the arm lock the nomu had on him and counter it with his own attack. Proceeding to use one of his power moves, repeatedly threw punches that were so fast that it looked as if All Might had multiple arms.
"Do not fear students, for I am here! Detroit Smash!" shouted All Might as he launched one last punch that sent the nomu flying. The students' shouts were no longer filled with worry, instead it was relief and happiness.
"No! No! I thought he was weaker!" cried out Shigaraki. Midoriya was now fearful for what was going to happen now. They have to leave or they will get captured by the heroes.
"Give up villains!" ordered All Might as he stared at Shigaraki and the others. All Might had a glance at Midoriya, and a shock expression appeared on his face upon seeing the young boy. Midoriya couldn't help but flinch at the eye contact they made and quickly looked away due to fear.
"Shigaraki, we must leave now." firmly said Kurogiri, who was preparing to teleport them. Midoriya knew what that meant, he was going to be using this quirk of his on the number one hero.
"I'm done being quiet! Rabbit! Do your shit now!" shouted Akumazou, she was holding herself back for the sake of the money they would be getting. But now that shit hit the fan, Akumazou was done waiting. Biting his lip, Midoriya knew it was hopeless to fight back. Actiativing his quirk, his dark green eyes were now glowing light green. Scanning every detail of All Might from his strengths, abilities, drawbacks, and weaknesses. The more he analyzed the more pain he felt, his head felt like it was being stabbed with needles, and his nose was starting to bleed.
"Don't stop! GET EVERYTHING!" ordered Shi. Knowing he couldn't stop, he kept going. All Might noticed something was off and saw Midoriya's eyes glowing.
"Shit! They're making him use his quirk!" thought All Might as he disappeared from where he was standing. He continued his thoughts. "It must be something related to analysing, I have to avoid giving them an opportunity to use it more!"
"SHIT! He's gone!" yelled Akumazou. Midoriya was able to stop but the effects were taking place, this was a drawback of this quirk. The more he uses it, he temporarily loses one of his senses, in short, it's like he becomes a drunk person but he's sober. It looks like it had affected his balance, not as bad as last time where he couldn't even walk due to the headaches.
"Let's go Rabbit! Akumazou do it now!" shouted Shi. Midoriya try to walk but the effects were bad, who knew All Might has so much information to absorb. Shi not having it, grab Midoriya by the arm and started to guide him to where Akumazou was standing preparing to activate their back plan.
"What the hell are you doing?! The plan isn't over! Kurogiri distracts All Might!" shouted Shigaraki. While Kurogiri activated his portals to slow down All Might, Shigaraki and the grim reapers were arguing.
"It's over for us! We sort of got what your master wanted! So we are leaving! We ain't getting caught cause of this shitty plan of yalls!" shouted Akumazou, she especially was not going to risk getting Rabbit caught or her master was going to get severely punished or worst.
"No! That means master will know that my plan went to waste!" yelled Shigaraki.
"Well too bad! Think of a better plan next time!" shouted Shi, he still had a grip on Midoriya's arm. Akumazou activated their back plan, an pitch-black portal was on the ground in front of her.
"Shigaraki, it's time to leave now!" ordered Kurogiri, getting a portal around them except the grim reapers. All Might was so close to them and getting ready to capture them however luck was not on his side. As Kurogiri was teleporting them, Shigaraki clicked his tongue in displeasure and shouted to All Might.
"This is only the beginning All Might! You will meet your downfall!"
Shigaraki and Kurogiri disappeared into the mist, leaving behind the grim reapers and Midoriya as they would disappear as well.
"Stop villains!" shouted All Might, who needed to capture at least one of the high-ranking villains to know what their plans were. Shi not giving him the chance decided to use his quirk and took out his katana on his hip and a bright light was released to All Might's direction. Blindsiding him for a second, All Might saw how the villains with the white masks disappear as they enter the black portal on the ground. The last thing he saw from the villains as the black portal disappeared on the ground was the empty dark green eyes of the boy with the chains as he entered it.
The heroes and lida had arrived at the entrance a few seconds late, the only thing that remained from the USJ attack were the injuries that their colleagues received, and the tears of the students who were able to survive such an incident.
