Chapter 8: Beast
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Finals is a thing that exists and they are stupid. So, when mine ended, I took a break to sleep and spend time with my family for Christmas. Thankfully, school is out for a few weeks and I have nothing to do. Hopefully you guys like the fight.
Aizawa jumped directly into the large mass of villains. Erasing quirks left and right, he was taking out as many of the intruders as he could. He managed to keep the villains focused on him for a short while, but soon half of them broke off to fight a new opponent. Aizawa couldn't see who the new fighter was, he had a pretty good idea when a defining roar came from nearby.
Once the roar had left Abeck's mouth, everything stopped. Both heroes, all twenty students and who knows how many villains turned to look at her. She had changed, in a way that seemed both physically and mentally. She was taller, she grew wings and a tail, not to mention her eyes were blood red and bleeding black. She grew scales on her back and arms. Her scales were dark green and light blue melted out from under her scales. The nails on her hands and feet became razor sharp claws as well as her teeth sharpening even more than they already were.
Many of the people around her didn't move a muscle, any who did were almost immediately set on fire. As everyone soon found out, she could breathe blistering hot fire that had an extensive range. Her tail could bat away many of the larger villains, and her scales deflected any attempt to hit her.
Eraserhead continued to fight the enemies while making sure to steer clear of Abeck, who was currently trying to rip apart a gorilla like opponent. As the two teachers continued fighting, an enemy that looked like a black/purple cloud with eyes managed to get to Thirteen and the students. Aizawa cursed himself for letting it get away, while on the other hand Abeck had noticed and was now charging towards the class on all fours. By the time she got to the top of the stairs, most of the students had been sent through portals to various parts of the facility.
With another monstrous roar, Abeck morphed into more of a beast, and charged at the villain responsible for separating the class. Has managed to dodge any swipes the dragon made with its claws but with much difficulty. She tried burning him, scratching him, pinning him down, and even eating him. Deciding that he had enough, after narrowly avoiding another fire blast, the villain created a portal and sent the dragon into the fountain near Tomura Shigaraki.
Abeck spent about a minute laying in the fountain using all the mental power she had to try and lock the dragon away again. As her body crawled out of the fountain, she no longer had control, the dragon did. Abeck saw the bird like creature pinning down a heavily injured Aizawa. The warp villain was also there, talking to Shigaraki about a student that managed to escape. However, instead of doing anything to help Eraserhead, the dragon opened its maw and sent a wall of flames blasting at everything in the vicinity of the fountain. As the dragon closed its mouth and charged towards a new group of prey, the door of the facility blew open. All Might had just joined the fight.
From the entrance, the entire battle could be viewed. Thirteen was laying on the ground with his back injured. Aizawa was laying on the ground close to the center of the building near a seemingly uninjured bird like thing. The ground around the two was either melted or burning. Some villains were looking in All Might's direction, some were looking at Eraserhead, and others were running away from a giant dragon that was trying to eat them. Three of students were standing at the shore of the flood zone, watching in horror as one of their teachers laid unconscious on the floor and the other was close to murdering their opponents.
All Might rushed into action immediately. He sprinted down the stairs, knocked out any villains in his way and got Aizawa out of the melting section of the floor within seconds. Getting Aizawa over to the three students from the flood zone, he told them to head back to the class and that he would take care of the villains. Once Midoria and Mineta stated carrying Aizawa back to the rest of their class, All Might faced the villains.
As the battle between All Might and the Nomu ensued, the dragon was completely immersed in chasing anything that just so happened to move into its field of vision. That's why when an explosion where the other battle was taking place went off, that's where its attention was drawn. It stalked over to where the explosion was only to see the bird creature split in half and clawing into All Might's stomach. Its eyes narrowed and was prepared to attack everything in the clearing, but the appearance of more humans stopped the beast in its tracks.
A spiky, ash blond haired human managed to pin down the warp user, a human covered in ice froze half of the bird creature, and a red-haired kid attempted to grab the guy with a hand over his face. All Might was able to get free from the Nomu's grasp and Midoria also ran over to help. Shigaraki spoke a simple instruction that cause Nomu to move out of the portal that cut him in half, and loose the half of his body that was frozen. However, the extreme recover that the brain monster made surprised any nearby creatures. The half of its body that broke off grew back almost immediately.
The dragon watched in interest from a hiding spot as the humans started talking to each other in place of continuing to fight. That is, until the bird moved to attack the kid holding down the purple cloud guy and All Might jumped in the way to protect his student. He yelled at the students to leave and charged at the hand guy when the ladder rushed towards the students. The Nomu had met All Might head on to protect its master and both sent punches of equal force at each other.
The wind picked up with each punch and everyone had to hold their ground against the onslaught of air pushing them back. Slowly but surely, All Might was winning the battle as Nomu was running out of energy. Nomu took more damage when All Might threw him into the air and back to the ground. The battle was finished when All Might when far over his limit and punched his opponent through the roof of the facility.
Deciding it was time for lunch, the dragon crept out of its hiding spot and let out a slow growling hiss. The humans closest to it backed away, the villains were put on edge, and All Might was silently cursing the fact that she had showed up. Shigaraki took off running towards the symbol of peace to try and kill him before the dragon could charge. That was the worst thing anyone could have possibly done, because the dragon jumped in front of All Might, and attacked the villain. It grabbed his arm and its teeth dug into Shigaraki's shoulder blade, chest and elbow before tossing him ten feet away. The dragon charged at its prey again but was stopped by a shadowy black mass.
The beast jumped back a charged at a new target, one of the students. Midoria used One for All to try and injure the beast heading towards them, but ended up braking his arm for nothing as it jumped out of the way and raised its claw to strike. However, before the monster could strike him down, a bullet struck her back and made it skid to a stop. It looked at where the bullet hit, no injury, it then turned its attention to the thing responsible. More humans had showed up and were now standing at the entrance.
The dragon's mood worsened and the human holding the gun became its new target. It charged as fast as its four legs could move straight for the exit. Present Mic used his voice to try and stop it but only ended up making the situation worse. It flew into the air only to see many of the villain hiding behind the heroes, and the pros trying to bring down the draconic beast. It attempted to barbecue all the humans, but the fire was stopped by a wall of ice.
It roared once more before something in its brain snapped. It shook its head, but its humane side took over and Abeck became aware for the first time in what felt like forever. She saw the commotion and heard everyone screaming below her. After realizing what happened, she wanted to leave. She wanted to fly away from there as fast as possible and never come back. However, she sorted through all of her options and realized the fastest and most effective way to protect everyone was to get rid of the dragon. In order to do that, she need to knock herself out. So, she weakened her scales and divebombed into the cement.
The last thing she remembered was laying in a crater, people approaching it, then blacking out.
The police, medics and news station had shown up shortly after Abeck was knocked out. The police captured the villains, who were surprisingly happy to leave, and all of the students were checked for injuries. The only one who needed medical attention was Midoria, who was taken to the nurses' office, on account of his broken bones. Many of the pros where working on getting the media to leave, and others were racking their brains to figure out why there were so many villains and how they could improve the security system.
Abeck, who was no longer a dragon, was completely unconscious and chained to a stretcher incase she woke up again. She had sustained few visible injuries, but many of her bones crunched upon contact, so she was being taken to a hospital to be checked over. However, there were many now questioning her capability to stay calm while teaching, being a hero, or walking around town in general. A few people wanted her to be chained up for the rest of her life, while others wanted her to be killed. The final decision was given to Nezu. Whether she would be taken away from humanity or allowed to wander free would be up to him. Although, he wanted to speak to her before he made a decision.
End of chapter 8, more will be revealed about Abeck and her beast side in up coming chapters.
