"You look tired."
Izuku looked up from his seat on the roof, watching Jirou as she walked towards him, "I am…" he mumbled, "I...well, I had to deal with Toga today…"
"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked, sitting down beside him and putting an arm around him.
"Sorta? maybe...I don't know…"
"Gee, really helps me there babe." she drawled, making him chuckle quietly.
"yeah...I told AIzawa about what I knew of Toga's home life...her mother was arrested today for child abuse and quirk discrimination."
"That's good isn't it?" Jirou asked.
"You would think, she was yelling at me about it, said she hated me, that she wished she never met me…"
"Poor Count," Jirou cooed quietly, slowly guiding him to lay his head on her chest, running a soft hand through his long hair, "your daughter doesn't like you."
"Not my daughter." Izuku muttered, relaxing against her, his arms going around her.
"That's how you treat her." she chuckled, "you're her mentor, the only other person she knows of that has a similar quirk to hers, and the only one that's helping her. She didn't expect you to throw her mother in jail; despite how toxic that woman sounds she's still her mother...give her time, I'm sure she'll come around."
"Maybe...so, you voted for Iida today during the class rep thing today huh?"
"Yeah, figured he'd do better than most of the others, what about you?"
"I voted for you." he said simply, "Bakugo's too angry, and Temari will throw caution out the window to compete with Bakugo...and I was still a bit sore with Iida on his words at the Entrance exam."
"Of course you were," she sighed, giggling softly as he picked her up and rolled over, cradling her to his chest as she laid her ear against his chest, listening to his too slow heartbeat as he relaxed under her. "You didn't want to be the rep?"
"I want to be a hero, spend my time with you, and sleep." he rasped, "being a class officer is the last thing I need now."
"Being called 'Count' by more than half of the class tends to make it seem like you would be a class rep."
"That's fully Tokoyami's fault and I will stand by that proclamation."
Jirou giggled, 'you're the one who kept it going, you encouraged him.'
"And I'm fine with that, and I will stand by that proclamation." he said, smiling when she pushed him down playfully, he wrapped his arms around her, bringing her down for a chaste kiss. "I love you, my Countess." he whispered against her lips.
"And I love you, my count.' she mumbled back, resting her forehead against his.

Izuku slowly stepped off the bust alongside his classmates, staring at the gigantic dome in front of him, "Rescue training…" he mumbled, "can't say how well I'll do here…" he muttered.
"You'll do Fine." Jirou said, giving him a soft punch on the arm, "Just stick close to either Bakugou or me, and we'll make it through, alright?"
"If you say so...Kyoka…" he murmured as they all walked up the steps, his eyes widened as he saw the Hero Thirteen walk out of the dome, he tuned out most of what he said, though he did note what the place was called (Unforeseen Circumstances Joint, or USJ) and he understood more than anyone what Thirteen meant when he said that their quirks could kill; he had been close to losing control more then once and he was glad that for once he would be trained how to save, instead of destroy.
Then the lights flickered and Aizawa stepped forward, eyes narrowed as two men appeared at the foot of the stairs.
"Are...are those robots?" Kirishima asked as more people began to appear
"No, everyone step back, those are real villains!" Aizawa called, bringing his goggles down.
"Doesn't the school have alarms?" Mina asked worriedly.
"Yes, but they're not going off." Todoroki observed, "which means they've disabled the alarms, or have someone with a quirk who's interfering."
"Kaminari, try and contact the main campus," Aizawa commanded, "Thirteen, get the students out of here, I'm going to stall these villains."
"But Sensei! You're not experienced in taking down large groups-" Temari started, stopping when Aizawa's scarf started to float.
"You can't be a one trick pony Sendo, Now all of you, get out of here!" without another word Aizawa shot down the staircase, slamming into the tide of villains without any hesitance.
"Come children! Back to the buses!" Thirteen exclaimed as they all ran, only to stop as a shadowy villain appeared.
"Apologies children, but we can't just let you leave, and we want to send a message that will ring out-"
Izuku flinched back as Bakugou sent off a powerful explosion and Kirishima jumped forward alongside him.
"Did you think we'd just let you monologue without trying to attack!?" Kirishima exclaimed as his arms hardened.
"Both of you get back!" Thirteen commanded, his hand out, ready to use his quirk the second the two were clear.
"Close, but I'm not here to play games!" the smokey villain shouted as the black miasma surrounding him surged forward.
Midoriya's eyes widened as he watched Bakugou and Kirishima disappeared, "Kyoka!" he exclaimed, lunging towards her as a darker shadow slowly engulfed him, before he knew it he was falling towards a thick forest, "what the-" he started, crossing his arms in front of him as he crashed through several branches and slammed into the ground; "ow...that hurt…" he mumbled as he forced himself to his feet, his ears perking up as someone slammed into the ground beside him, "Aoyama." Midoriya muttered as he forced himself to his feet, pulling off his now destroyed goggles as he did, "guess they dropped us off together."
"Oui." Aoyama grunted as he stood up, "it seems fate has brought us together Monsieur!"
Izuku looked around, his eyes narrowing, "I'm hearing several people heading this way...I don't think they're friends."
Aoyama started to sweat, "outnumbered eh?" he asked shakily.
"Not necessarily." slowly Izuku raised a clawed hand up and pulled his mask down, popping two blood pods into his mouth before fixing his mask back in place, he stood up fully as he pulled his hood over his head, looking back at Aoyama as his eyes turned a deep red, the shadows covering his left eye making it look like a single glowing dot, "cover our back, I'll take care of the front.t."
Aoyama shuddered as a large puff of cold air was expelled from the valves on his mask, "I...will support you as best as I can…"
WVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVW
Natsuo Nakamura was a c-rate villain with a D-rate quirk, a couple of assaults and attempted burglaries were all he had under his belt, he had assumed that joining with this league of villains was a good idea; boost his street cred and give him a chance to be apart of an actual organization that would have his back.
But he felt a sliver of doubt in him as he entered the darkened forest section, a weird cold fog covering the floor of the area. The others around him didn't give it much thought, but Natsuo always trusted his gut, and it dropped when they finally found one of the students that had been dropped there, crouched down atop a destroyed tree, red eyes glowing in the dim light, the black mask he wore unnerving as heavy puffs of vapor were exhaled from it's valves.
"Well, well, well," the boy drawled, lazily looking over his opponents, "all of this, just for little. Old. me."
"Sorry kid." one of the front running goons called as he ran towards the boy, "but we're gettin' paid to put an end to you brats!" he jumped towards the boy, blades appearing from his wrists.
"You aren't the first to try." the boy said, the blades easily piercing his body; but he didn't even flinch as he kicked the man back with enough force to send him through several trees, "and you won't be the Last."
His voice turned into a growl at the last word as several dogs appeared around him, snarling and barking as they paced in front of him, "Ĥ̸̛͈̥̻a̸͕͇̺͛v̴̢̦̰́o̸̯̝͝k̸̗͗:̴̡͕̈́͠ ̷̟̫͆͌ľ̴̦̭͐ḛ̶̜͈̅t̴͇̔ͅ ̵̹̖̬̑̐́s̴̩͍̀͋l̵̬͝i̶̧̹͇̐͝p̴̭͙̥͋ ̶̱̽̍ͅt̶͍͒̽h̸̪̞͒e̶̘͍̚ ̸͕́̍d̶̫̫̫͂̄͝o̴̟͚̕g̴̹̹̅̈́s̴̨͍͝ͅ ̷̣͑͝ō̴̙̝̌f̴̹͍͒́̃ ̴̼͈̼͑́̂ŵ̴̢̮̝͝á̸̫̳̉̏r̸̢̯̪̓." he snarled, his voice distorting as the dogs surged forward, many tackling villains with nary a worry for their own safety.
"What the hell!" one grunt shouted as he threw a dog across the clearing, "is this kid really this powerful!? We'll need more reinforcements before-GAH!"
The man cried out as a oversized paw sent him flying, Natsuo let out a scream as two Grizzly bears came charging at him, he didn't even hesitate to run as he looked around, watching as his comrades were taken down by the shadowy hellhounds or the kid who was darting between his creations with reckless abandon, sending full grown men flying with simple punches and kicks, red eyes flashing as he stopped against a tree, "run, run, run, as fast as you can." he muttered as the lead mastiff came to his side, "Baskerville...Hunt."
Elsewhere.
Bakugo paused as he heard terrified screams coming from the forest area, "sounds like Midoriya's enjoying himself." Bakugo muttered as he threw an explosive punch into a nearby grunts stomach.
"Gotta admit, he's kinda terrifying when he's all juiced up." Kirishima muttered, "you think he's gonna head back to the stairs when he's done?"
"No," Bakugo growled as the two looked around the room at the defeated villains, 'he's going to go find Jirou, make sure she's okay."
"Well then we need to get back to help our classmates."
"Then go ahead and go," Bakugo muttered, turning to walk away, "i'm gonna find that warp bastard and blow him ta hell!"
"What!? Bakugo that's what got us here in the first place! We couldn't even touch him! And because of us our classmates are scattered-"
"-that shadowy fuck is their one ticket out of here." he snapped, "we take him down then they can't leave, besides-" he suddenly darted past Kirishima and caught a villain sneaking up on him by the head, an explosion knocking him, "If they only have small fries like this then our classmates can handle themselves."
Kirishima grinned, "Glad you can have such faith in our classmates, pretty manly there Bakugo."
"Just shut up, you coming or not?" Bakugo asked as he dropped the villain and began walking.
"Yeah I got your back, lets go get'em"
WVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVW
Izuku and Aoyama slowly walked out of the forest zone, Baskerville at their side, behind them the villains were tied up against one of the larger trees, several of them staring at Izuku with wide scared eyes.
"Well that was easier than I thought it would be." Aoyama sparkled as Izuku popped another blood pod into his mouth.
"Says you, I burned through four blood pods taking them down." Izuku muttered, raising his head to smell the air, "head towards the steps Aoyama, I'm smelling a few of our classmates near the mountain zone who may need some assistance."
"I think I should tag along non?" Aoyama asked, following the dark clad boy as he continued to walk, "strength in numbers after all."
"You'll be better at the front with the others…" he trailed off as another scent filled the air, stopping as he slowly looked towards the center.
"What is it?"
"I smell...blood...a lot of it…" he narrowed his eyes, "Aoyama...three of our classmates are up there in the mountain zone, go help them as best as you can...I'm going to the center."
Aoyama's eyes widened, "but...isn't that where the rest of the villains are-Midoriya wait!"
Izuku continued to walk, "help our friends Aoyama.' he called, "I'm depending on you."

Temari shook from where she crouched in the water beside Tsu and Mineta, they had barely escaped the shipwreck zone and had been intent on skirting the center and maybe take out some of the villains to give Aizawa an edge.
Until that giant bird monster slammed their teachers head into the wall and smashed both his arms like twigs.
"What do we do?" Tsu asked with a shaky voice.
"I...don't know, we can't...we can't go against this thing…" she whispered, barely catching anything the hand guy and the newly appeared warp villain said until:
"-but before we leave, let's make sure to break his spirit."
One quick lunge was all that was needed to make the villain appear in front of Tsu, his hand moving straight for her head.
"Oh shit no! SMASH!" Temari shouted, throwing a punch without even thinking, throwing out steam as she connected with something. "Tsu are you alright!?"
"Oooh, you're really powerful," Shigaraki declared, Temari's eyes widened as the smoke disappeared and the black arm of the Nomu was revealed, completely fine against the high powered hit she had just delivered, "and you even sound like him, don't tell me you're one of All-Might's little disciples."
Temari started to shake as Shigaraki finally connected his hand to the frog user, her eyes widening when nothing happened.
"You really are...so cool." Shigaraki chuckled as he looked back to Aizawa, whose head was barely up, eyes glowing red.
"Oh well, guess we can have fun in another way." Shigaraki shrugged, releasing Tsu, "Nomu, Kill them."
Temari let out a pained gasp as she was swatted away like a pesky fly, she braced herself, prepared to slam into the concrete.
Only for someone to catch her and set her down by Aizawa, a confused Tsu and Mineta also at her side.
"Are you guy's alright?" Midoriya asked, his eyes fixed on Shigaraki and the Nomu as the two watched this newcomer.
"I...Think that thing cracked...some ribs…" Temari gritted out, holding her side.
"Hmm...Tsu, Mineta, get Temari and Eraserhead back to the rest, I"ll give you all the time you need."
"But Count-" Mineta started, flinching back when the boy pulled out six blood pods.
"That thing is powerful," he mused as he popped all of the blood pods into his mouth, the inky black spiderwebs appearing in his sclera, "and these are the last of my blood pods, lets see who's stronger."
"Nomu, kill that brat."
"GO!" Midoriya roared as he charged forward, cracking the concrete underneath him as he and the beast met in the middle, dodging under it's powerful punch and raking his claws through its sides, cutting it to ribbons, his eyes narrowed as the wounds began to knit together, "a healing factor." Midoriya flipped over another attack, tearing through its neck muscles before taking them down it's back and through it's spine, it shuttered a bit as the regeneration took slightly longer to heal the spinal injuries as it suddenly spun and slammed a foot into the boys left shoulder, sending him flying across the center and slamming through a wall.
"He...shattered...all my bones in my arm…" he muttered as he forced himself to sit up, arm piecing back together, two burley black bears materialized at his side and charged alongside him;barely tanking the blows from the monstrous creature as he darted between its limbs, onces again using his claws to tear into it, only to snarl in frustration as it destroyed his two bears and attacked him once more. He darted back and actually looked surprised when Temari was once again beside him, driving her fists into the things head, stunning it for a moment as she jumped back to Izuku's side.
"You're supposed to be going to the stairs," he says as his arm finally pieces back together.
"And you're supposed to be strong." she quips, wincing as she reaches into her pocket and pulls out six more blood pods, "The Countess carries these around with her just in case, made sure me and Bakugo had a few...we're probably gonna need you at your strongest."
Izuku sighs as he takes them, glaring at the Nomu, "all or nothing huh?" he asks, as he pulls his mask down and pops them all, eyes going to their inky black state with red Irises, "I'll tear through him," he growled, minute shadows manifesting around him, "you hit the exposed injuries."
"Got it, lets go."
Together the two Heroes In Training charges forward, Midoriya's claws cut the Nomu to the bone, with Temari powering up sixty percent of All For One to deliver a devastating punch to it's exposed bones, making the monster roar in pain, they continue this tactic until the Nomu suddenly grabs Temari, throwing her across the USJ, "Temari!" Izuku called worriedly, letting out a sight gasp as the thing punched him once more, sending him crashing into the ground, his ribs completely shattered, the Nomu didn't stop here, and continued to drive it's fists into the boys body until it was sure he wouldn't stand up.
Izuku let out a wheezing cough, his mask had been torn apart under the barrage, and he could feel every splinter of his could feel his quirk trying to piece his body back together, but the damage done was beginning to exceed his blood intake, "and people...call me a monster…" he rasped, staring up at the Nomu as it looked up at the arrival of All Might, "Jirou...I'm sorry…" he mutters as his entire body lurches forward and sinks his teeth into the Nomu's arm, hot blood gushing into his mouth as the Nomu began to punch his head, trying to get him off.
With a grand tearing of flesh, Izuku was hit free of the nomu, tumbling like a ragdoll across the concrete.
"He's a monster…" izuku gasped as he spat out the mouthful of flesh, his eyes like pinpoints as he glared at the Nomu, his limbs regenerating rapidly as he gave the thing a sharp toothed grin, "its blood tastes of corruption and evil! Such a thing must not survive."
All around Izuku the shadows seemed to warp as he summoned all of his familiars, ravenous wolves and dogs bayed and howled as they slunk through the shadows, making way for the lumbering bears as the sky filled with birds of prey.
"Ǎ̶̧̡̟̙̫̘̏͛̉ǹ̶̹̙͊͛ḯ̸̧̭͕͔͋͗̽̇̀͝m̴̡̥̹̱̪̎͊̋̀̌̊ͅa̶̼̻͊̐l̴̰̥͎̄̚ ̴͕̔̅̌k̵͙̄͌i̵̪͙̲̿n̵͎̘͉̳̖̈́̾̄̓̏̆͜g̴̙͈̮̏ḑ̶̡̣̯̥͍͚͂o̵̞̎̏̂̄͝ṃ̵̨̨͇̮̑̉!̵͎͎̪̦̈͌͐̋̄"
Shigaraki and All-Might froze at the sheer bloodlust in Izuku's voice, watching in awe as the animals swarmed the Nomu, overwhelming its impressive strength with their numbers, hawks dived down to peck at its eyes and claw at its exposed brain, wolves and dogs bit and tore into its flesh as bears slammed into it. Clawing and biting wherever they could.
Meanwhile, Shigaraki was trying to gain control of his monster. "Nomu! Kill those animals and destroy All-Might! NOMU!"
"Frustrated? Angry? Perhaps a little scared?"
Shigaraki froze as a dark presence sprouted behind him, ever so slowly he looked back, and came face to face with a blood drunk Izuku, the boys claws were out completely, and his soulless black eyes glowed with red light from their pin prick centers, he seemed to step out of the shadows, a bloody grin of sharp rows of teeth bearing down upon the villain, gleaming with the fresh blood that he had just acquired, "are you man? Or monster?"
"I'll kill you!" Shigaraki snarled as he jumped at the boy, gripping his throat and activating his quirk, "die! Die! DIE!"
Izuku's eyes widened as his throat collapsed, only to reform instantly as he laughed. Swatting shigaraki away like he was nothing.
"Another monster then!" He cackled gleefully as his animals faded away, seemingly adding to the shadows at his back. Nothing remained of the nomu save a few broken bones.
"You're a freak! A monster!" Shigaraki shrieked as All-Might landed behind Izuku, wrapping the boy up in a bear hug to try and keep him controlled.
"A monster who hunts his own!" Izuku roared, struggling against All-Might's strength, and actually pulling away, "tell me, FOOL! when you came to this school did you think you'd be the only monsters creeping about!? DID YOU THINK YOU COULD COME TO MY DOMAIN AND HURT WHAT'S MINE!?"
"Kurogiri!" Shigaraki called, summoning the warp villain as Izuku broke free of All-Might, eyes flashing,

Izuku shrieked, his voice carrying across the USJ and sending a shiver of fear down the backs of all who heard it. His teeth sank into Shigaraki's arm as the villain screamed in pain. Only a last minute punch from the man saved his arm from being torn off as Izuku fell back. The portal closing.
"Young Midoriya stop!" All-Might shouted as the boy slowly got to his knees.
"All-Might…" Izuku gasped out, making the hero stop slightly as the boy slowly raised a clawed finger and pointed to the remains of the nomu.
The air shimmered and morphed as the construct Izuku had created fell apart. Revealing the Nomu, injured but alive, struggling against several of Izuku's strongest familiars.
"Restrain him...can't...hold for long…" Izuku struggled out.
"An Illusion...rest Young Midoriya! I've got this!" All-Might shot forward and engaged the beast, their battle sending pressurized air buffeting through the USJ; almost all of Izuku's familiars were blown away, save for Baskerville, who stayed crouched at his master's side.
Izuku collapsed to the ground, doing his best to keep himself together. The blood binge he had gone on had only repaired a few of his injuries, the rest had gone into the power he had just displayed, warping through shadows and casting illusions as well as his full familiar summonings had taken its toll and he was burning through the last of his blood just to keep himself stable.
And he could feel the hunger returning, the delight of having partaken in fresh blood, the craving for more, already he could see his vision blurring, his teeth elongating and sharpening further.
"IZUKU!" Bakugo shouted, running as fast as he could towards his apparently injured friend.
"Bakugo, knock me out!" Izuku commanded, his whole body shaking.
"We can't just-" Kirishima began.
CRACK!
Izuku's head shot around harshly as Bakugo clocked him with a flying straight.
"Dude! What the fuck!" Kirishima shouted, "we were coming down here to help him! Not hurt him!"
"If Izuku tells you to knock him out, you knock him out." Bakugo said gruffly, looking over his friend, "he's barely healing, and his eyes...when they're that dark there's nothing you can do but hope you can knock him out and restrain him."
As if produced by his words, the ground suddenly began to morph, forming into a restrictive fist that clenched around the unconscious vampire. His head lolling to the side.
"The teachers are here!" Kirishima cheered, stepping back a bit as Cementoss approached.
"How much blood has he drank?" Cementoss demanded to know as Temari limped towards them, being helped along by Todoroki.
"I gave him all six of the blood pods I had," She gritted out, 'and he took all of his before that."
"He also drank from the Nomu.' All-Might chipped in as he landed beside his protege, steaming slightly from sending the Nomu flying out of the USJ, "as well as the leader of this attack."
"All that blood and he's still struggling to heal?" Cementoss asked in disbelief, "we'll have to isolate him, before he wakes up and accidentally goes after someone."
"What of Aizawa and thirteen?" All-Might demanded to know as Cementoss began to move Izuku away from them.
"Already being helped, Aizawa has sustained critical injuries-"
The children tuned out their teachers as Temari slowly approached Bakugo, letting go of Todoroki as Katsuki supported her.
"He was fighting that thing all on his own…" Temari whispered hoarsely as Katsuki began guiding her to the stairs, Kirishima talking with Todoroki and comparing their battles, "that thing sent me flying...broke a couple of bones on it hehe…." she coughed and spat blood out onto the stones, "I had hoped Izuku would've been able to hold him until All-Might…"
"He did, but he had to drink that things blood to do it.' Katsuki muttered, "no telling how this'll affect him."
WVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVW
All Might sat down heavily in the waiting room of the hospital, Nezu sat next to him, quietly sipping his tea, "our casualties were minimal." Nezu said, "Aizawa and Thirteen will heal…"
"What of Young Midoriya?" the tired skeleton asked.
"He's...yet to awaken, I reviewed the footage and I must say: his power is greater than we could have imagined.
"Illusions, warping, that...that bloodlust, he hasn't exhibited any of this before today-"
"It likely has to do with the quantity of blood he ingested, and while injured as well. He pushed his powers to their limits and broke them all just to give us more time to respond."
"What do we do now? Had he been a little further gone he would've killed Nomu as well as their leader."
"We train him to the best of our abilities, and hope his heroic spirit wins over any animalistic urges."

Blood, he needed blood, he knew this, it was a fundamental part of his life; he never deviated from this, so why is he waiting? Why isn't he claiming the blood he senses pulsing just outside of his door?

No!
Izuku shook his head with a gasp as he pulled himself out of the dark edges of his mind. For a few moments his senses were overwhelmed. From the sound of electricity running through the lights and walls, to the walking of an ant in the corner of the room. A sensory overload always hit him when he had binged too much on blood.
The room he was in was pure white, as white as the straight jacket they had him in. the only real features the room had was the window and door that allowed others to see him, and the grate in the ground.

"NO." Izuku growled out, shaking his head, forcing himself to focus on the grate, sweat trickled down his face, his jaw clenched and locked as he fought against the instincts inside of himself; warring with his subconscious.
He could easily break through these restraints, he could make it through that window and pin the hero guarding him down and drain him before the first alarm could even sound, it would be so easy for him, ȇ̸͍̪͓̎̔ạ̶̢̥̱̲̒s̶͕̚y̵̟̘̱̳͋̐̏͒͝ ̸̘̰͇̒p̸̲͚͕̋̋r̴̪̆̄͘ë̴̜͙̩̟́͠y̶̮̳͙̋̆
With another gasp Izuku threw himself back against the wall, pinning himself in the corner of the room, "no...no…"
An intercom buzzed, making Izuku flinch.
"Mr. Midoriya? Can you hear me? This is the principal-"
"I hear you." Izuku said, eyes suddenly snapping to the window, his voice was as shaky as his frame. Barely able to keep a stutter out.
"I'm glad you've woken, we were worried about giving you more blood while unconscious."
"No blood." Izuku whispered, "None, not right now...I...I'm barely holding myself together…"
"We want to help you Midoriya, it's been over six hours, we need to get you blood before-"

The intercom shut off and Izuku was left to stew in his own mind.
On the other side of the glass, Nezu watched his student with a heavy heart.
"Nothing we can do for him until he stops exhibiting these withdrawal symptoms." The doctor sighed, "we may as well lock this area down and leave him be.
"No." Nezu said, "I won't leave my student alone, you may lock me up here with him if you so wish.
The doctor hesitated, then nodded, "we'll unlock it in the morning...goodnight principal Nezu."
Nezu simply inclined his head as the doctor and the hero walked out. Heavy metal shutters shutting behind them as Nezu settles into his chair.
It would be a long night for the both of them.
