Chapter 10: A Hero's Responsibility
The students that weren't scattered felt tears in their eyes as they saw the Symbol of Peace slowly walk towards them. Mina started to burst into a sadden cry as she held Thirteen's arm.
"I had a bad feeling, so I tore myself away from my chat with the principal and came. On my way, I passed young Iida and got a rough idea of what happened".
All Might tried his best to keep a smile but was incredibly furious. The thought of how frightened it must have been for the students bugged him. And the fact that his fellow Pros fought so hard because of his limit made him furious with himself. So with a furious face, he ripped off his tie and spoke.
"It's fine now! I am here"!
Mineta and his group began to arrive at the entrance as they saw All Might standing in front of them.
"All Might! Oh, thank god"! Spider-Man didn't look back as he tried to keep Aizawa awake, but he could tell that All Might wasn't smiling.
"I've been waiting, hero. You trash of society". Using his super-speed, All Might instantly defeat the remaining villains in the Central Plaza and stood next to Spider-Man and an injured Eraser Head.
"Sorry, Aizawa. Spider-Man, you tried to help correct?"
"I helped the students, sir. I'm sorry. I arrived too late to help him."
"I thank you for your assistance. Please, bring him to the entrance and keep my students safe. Hurry!"
"Understood".
Izuku put Aizawa over his shoulder and swung towards the entrance. All Might stares down the villains before beginning his attack.
"Carolina…!"
"Nomu."
"Smash"!
All Might's attack connected with the Nomu but didn't affect the monster. Instead, Nomu retaliated with a punch, which All Might dodges and counters with another punch. Meanwhile, Spider-Man just arrived at the entrance with Aizawa.
"Hatsume, I need help!"
"What is it?"
"First I need you to send an ambulance for Aizawa and Thirteen."
"Is that Spider-Man"?
Izuku landed in front of the students and surrounded him and Aizawa. "Mr. Aizawa!"
"Mei, I need to know how to stabilize Eraser Head."
"What's broken?"
"Both arms, some ribs, his nose, and he's losing a whole lot of blood."
"Okay, um… stop the bleeding and try to keep his arms in a straight position."
"Got it. Can any of you help me out?"
"I'll help."
"Me too."
"What do you need"?
Camie, Kashiko, and Shiozaki walked over to try to assist Spidey in any way they could. "I need someone to find something straight and strong like a pole or tree branch, someone to hold his head up, and finally someone to find something that could wrap around the first object".
They all got to work as Izuku used his webbing to spray any bleeding parts. Momo used her Quirk to create arm length metal poles while Camie and Mina grabbed the tree branches for them and Kashiko made sure to hold Aizawa in position. "Alright, that should stop the bleeding. Where are the…"
"We got them."
"Put those branches on his left arm and wrap it with something."
"I believe I could help with that". Shiozaki used her vine Quirk to wrap up Aizawa's arm and Izuku used his webbing for Eraser Head's right arm.
"That should stabilize him for now. The ambulance should be here for both Thirteen and him. Stay with them until they arrive."
"What are you gonna do?"
"My job".
Spider-Man used his webs to leap into the air. "Expand"!
Izuku's suit produced the web-like fabric and dived towards All Might. "You did the thing! Oh my god! Is it working properly?! Does it look cool?!"
"Oh no."
"Oh no, what?"
"All Might's in trouble"!
Izuku dive even faster as he saw that Nomu was pressing against All Might's side, while Kurogiri held him captive. As Izuku reached them he was slammed to the ground. "You two take care of All Might, I'll deal with the spider".
Octavious spun around the heroic vigilante and got ready to throw him away. "I don't think so"!
Izuku used his strength and managed to land onto the ground. "I'll take this".
Midoriya ripped one of Otto's mechanical arms. As this happened, an explosion erupted behind them. Spider-Man saw Bakugo pin down the warp villain and Todoroki freeze half of Nomu's body. With that, All Might was released from his grip and joined his students.
"Nice job!"
"YOU DAMNED MORON! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO REPAIR THIS"!
Izuku was once more slammed onto the ground and thrown towards the symbol of peace. He caught the vigilante with one hand as the other was holding onto his injury. "Oh, that looks bad."
"It feels bad."
"I can stop the bleeding with my webbing and…"
"As much as I would appreciate that, we need to focus on the task at hand".
Spider-Man stood up next to All Might and Todoroki. Bakugo and Kirishima made sure that Kurogiri didn't escape their grasp. "Don't move, you foggy bastard. If I feel like you're moving suspiciously, then I'll blow you up".
Shigaraki saw how the situation was playing out. These kids made them seem like amateurs and he didn't like that. "Nomu. You know what to do".
Nomu listened and began moving again. As it did, it's frozen limbs fell off. "Everyone, Get back"!
The Nomu broke the ice that covered its limbs and began to regenerate. "What? His Quirk wasn't shock absorption?"
"I didn't say that was all he had. This is his super-regeneration."
"Nomu has been modified to take you at 100% of your power. In short, he's a super-efficient human sandbag. Go Nomu".
Spidey and Todoroki got into a fighting stance as they saw Nomu fully healed. Izuku tried to use his webbing to slow him down, but it was futile. The Nomu was too fast and aimed an attack towards Katsuki. The attack caused a huge burst of wind to push back the students and Spidey. As the smoke cleared, Nomu had Kurogiri and Bakugou was nowhere to be seen. "Bakubro! How did you…? Did you dodge that?"
"No, Shitty hair. I didn't."
"Wait, then how"?
The group looked towards a broken wall and saw All Might in a defensive stance while coughing. "You. Do you not know how to hold back?!"
"It was to rescue my companions. I had no choice, I mean, earlier, that bastard Spider-Man, ripped off one Doc's mechanical arms. Violence for the sake of others to admire his strength. Isn't that right, hero? You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent acts as heroic or villainous, deciding what's good and what's bad. "Symbol of Peace"? Ha. You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds violence. The world will know this once we kill you!"
"That's preposterous. The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You want to enjoy this yourself, don't you, you liar"?
It was getting tense as the two of them were arguing with each other. It was five against four, but seeing how weakened All Might seemed, Izuku was ready for the worst. "Spider-Man. Get my students out of here."
"You would've been in trouble if I hadn't frozen that thing, right?"
"That was a different story, Young Todoroki. But it's fine! Just watch as a Pro gives it everything he's got."
"Sorry, to say this All Might, but I'm not leaving. Nomu and Shigaraki aren't the only threat here. I need to take care of Dr. Octopus here".
All Might could tell that Spider-Man knew what he was doing. He has fought with these guys before and he didn't want to beat them to settle a score. No, he wanted to make sure that they wouldn't hurt anyone again. All Might gave a thumbs-up as he faced the villains once more.
"Kurogiri. Nomu. Take care of All Might. Otto, you know who your target is. I'll deal with the children. Now, Let's clear this level and go home".
Shigaraki rushed the students and Octavious got ready to attack Spider-Man. "Heads up. Looks like we're fighting."
"Don't get in my Shitty hair".
Izuku decided to rush Octavious as the villain began speeding up. "I need to fight. Why? Because I am… The Symbol of Peace"!
Shigaraki and the students saw Nomu and All Might speeding at each other, with Doc Ock and Spider-Man alongside them. As both sides reached each other, All Might and Nomu fists clashed, sending a shockwave powerful enough to blow everyone away. "Hey, you talked about his shock absorption yourself earlier, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did". As this was going on, Octavious used one of his arms and stabbed Izuku in the shoulder. "Pay attention, Arachnid"!
Izuku felt blood ooze out of his arm as Otto continued to put pressure on Izuku's wound. He let out a scream as he tried to lift the arm. Fast winds kept coming from the fight next to them which made it difficult for Izuku to do anything. In a last-ditch effort, Izuku let go of the arm and webbed Octavious's face towards him. One swift punch and he was free. "We don't have to keep doing this! Just give up and no one has to get hurt anymore."
"Oh, you'd like that! Asking for mercy is for the weak"! Izuku dodged several incoming attacks and felt the winds get stronger. "Heroes are a huge joke. They think that they know what's good and bad, even though some of them end up ruining the lives of others. No one is smart enough to investigate that part and it sickens me!"
"So what?! It doesn't matter what you think of a hero! A hero's purpose is to help people because they're supposed to! If you have the power to help those in need, it is your moral obligation to do so!"
"Shut up"!
Octavious rushed towards the vigilante once more. Spider-Man was angry as he began to fight with him again. He kept avoiding his arms while also connecting his attacks. "A hero's true strength isn't his powers or his abilities! It is his responsibility in those powers! And right now, my only responsibility is to beat you and make sure everyone makes it out alive"!
Izuku didn't hold back as he destroyed another Octo-Arm and kept attacking him. He grabbed the remaining arms and wrapped them around the doctor.
"It's over, Otto! Crawler... ASSAULT!"
"Go beyond. Plus… ULTRA"!
Using the last of strength, All Might sends a devastating punch against Nomu, sending him flying out of the USJ, and defeating him. Spider-Man shot several webs towards the Octavious before rushing towards the villain and landing a fury of powerful punches! It was over. Both final attacks shook the entire U.S.J. (Mostly All Might's Smash attack). The Nomu flew out of the U.S.J. and Octavious was knocked out on the ground. "Woah! Those were like finishing moves in video games! All Might beat the shock absorption right out him!"
"And Spider-Man gave it his all to stop the other guy".
The students were in absolute awe. They saw the power of the number one hero and the strength of the infamous vigilante. As they were talking, however, Spider-Man and All Might weren't doing so well. Izuku was losing a lot of blood as his shoulder wasn't bandaged or given any sort of treatment and All Might seemed like he could move another muscle. "Hatsume? Are you still there?"
"I haven't left yet. Your suit indicates that you're injured. You're losing a lot of blood, Izuku!"
"I know. I think I might need to leave at some point. All Might just beat that Nomu thing and seems to have things under control. I'm done anyways. I'll see you at school".
Spider-Man made sure that nobody saw him and took cover behind some bushes. He took off his web backpack and got ready to change into his regular U.A. uniform. Meanwhile, All Might began taunting the villains. "What's wrong? You're not coming? You said you'd "clear" this or something, right? Come and get me if you can".
Tomura couldn't help but panic at All Might's statement. Without Nomu or Octavius by his side, he was basically a sitting duck. "Well, what's wrong?"
"If only I had Nomu again! I could…"
"Tomura Shigaraki. Look. Look at how weakened he is. Nomu dealt significant amounts of damage to All Might. We still have a chance. Look Spider-Man is also nowhere to be seen."
"What"?
Shigaraki looked over to Otto's unconscious body to see that Kurogiri was right. He was nowhere to be seen. They still had a chance. The students and All Might look over as well to see Spidey gone. The only thing that was left was a huge trail of blood. Some of the other villains began to get up, causing Kirishima and Bakugo to take a defensive stance. "I think All Might will be able to handle the main bad guys. Let's go help the others."
"Whatever".
Todoroki looked back to see All Might still standing and saw Tomura and Kurogiri begin to rush the Pro. As they were right in front of him, they were stopped as a huge flash of light hit them in the face. As Shigaraki regained his vision, a rock was thrown towards him and knocked off his mask. All Might turned as well, to see Izuku holding onto his camera. "You again!"
"Get away from All Might"!
Shigaraki put his hand through a portal and appeared in front of Izuku's face. It seemed like it was over for him until Shigaraki's hand was shot. "Are they here"?
All Might's question was answered as two more gunshots were shot at Tomura. The gunshots came from the Pro Hero: Snipe, one of the U.A. teachers and arrived alongside Iida. Now that the U.A. Pro Heroes have arrived, it was game over for the League. Kurogiri knew this and grabbed both Shigaraki and Otto. Surprisingly, a heavily damaged Thirteen shows up, using Black Hole on Kurogiri and Tomura. "I may have failed, but I will kill you next time… Symbol of Peace, All Might"!
The three of the villains disappeared leaving Izuku and All Might in the area. Izuku felt his legs shake and fell to the ground, exhausted. He webbed his camera onto a bush and left the thing on auto mode. He hoped that the camera would take shots of the action and wouldn't you know it he was right. As he scrolled through it, he found a shot of All Might placing his fist onto the Nomu's stomach before sending him off.
"Thank you".
Izuku looked up to see All… Might? No, half of All Might. Izuku saw the Symbol of Peace in a weak-looking form with half of his face as someone unrecognizable. "If it weren't for those few seconds you bought me, I would've been killed. You saved me."
"All… Might?"
"What's your name kid?"
"Um… Izuku Midoriya. General studies and support course, sir."
"Nice to meet you, young Midoriya."
"Midoriya!"
"Kirishima?"
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I…"
"Oh no. He can't see me like this kid!"
"Huh? Wait, Kirishima stop"! Suddenly a huge wall was placed between them.
"We want to make sure that all the students are safe, so please gather in front of the gate. We will deal with the injured here."
"Oh, I understand. Roger that! Hey, he said to gather in front of the gate"!
All Might felt relieved as he fell onto the floor, also exhausted. He thanked Cementoss for helping him. "Oh, right. Young Midoriya, are you injured?"
"Just a few cuts and bruises. Nothing to worry about. I'm also really tired."
"That makes two of us. That thing was really strong."
"Yeah, he was. Thank god you were here."
"I wasn't the only one who helped. Hey, Cementoss. Do you happen to see Spider-Man swing away?"
"Spider-Man? He was here?"
"Yeah. I wasn't able to thank him. He made sure to keep everyone safe and risked his own safety to take out one of the major villains."
"Villains. Wait, where do you think they could've gone"?
~Unknown Location~
At the League of Villains' hideout, a portal opened up, with Tomura, Kurogiri, and Otto exiting it. Tomura kept groaning on the floor, while Octavious was still unconscious. "My arms. My legs. We lost completely. Even Nomu was defeated! All the underlings were defeated in an instant and that damned Spider-Man knocked out the Doctor! He… he was healthy. You were wrong, Master!"
"No, I wasn't".
On the blank monitor, a mysterious person spoke. "We were unprepared. None of us anticipated that Spider-Man would be there and didn't expect the students to hold their own. It's good we did it under that cheap name. By the way, where is the Nomu"?
Kurogiri regretfully informs that he could not locate Nomu's coordinates and thus he could not save him. "I'm sorry, but I could not find him. Not even with my warp."
"Well, I supposed it cannot be helped. That's unfortunate."
"There was another kid. If he hadn't gotten in my way I would've had him."
"Was he another student?"
"Yes, but he wasn't in their class. That brat. That brat caused me to hesitate and get shot! That brat with green hair!"
"Green hair? Hmm, it's true he isn't in Class 1-A. But worry not Tomura. He might've just been there to tag along. Do you think he's a huge threat?"
"No. He's really plain looking."
"Then leave it in the past. Take all the time you need and try again. We cannot move freely which is why we need a symbol, like you. Next time, show the world that you are to be feared"!
~Outside the Unforeseen Simulation Joint~
"Alright. Everyone seems unharmed."
"So, were the rumors true? Was Spider-Man actually there?"
"Yeah, he saved us from a guy with mechanical arms, Electro and a guy named Shocker. You should've seen him."
"I know what you mean. I was with Todoroki and Bakugo when he arrived. He took out the Octopus guy while giving a manly speech."
"What did he say?"
"He said "A hero's purpose is to help people because they're supposed to! If you have the power to help those in need, it is your moral obligation to do so!" and "A hero's true strength isn't his powers or his abilities! It is his responsibility in those powers! And right now, my only responsibility is to beat you and make sure everyone makes it out alive!" It was so cool!"
"What about All Might? He was the one who made the hole in the roof right?"
"Yeah, he was, but it was expected."
"Where were you, Deku? I didn't see you with us. Were you scattered?"
"Yeah, I ended up in one of the zones and ended up hiding in the bushes. I took a bunch of pictures as well, hiding and running away from danger."
"Really? Mind if I see any?"
"No problem". Izuku showed Uraraka his camera and saw how many pictures were taken. As they were scrolling through, Izuku saw a picture of Aizawa in his (Spider-Man's) arms and he remembered something. "Hey, Detective, wait!"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering about Mr. Aizawa. How is he?"
"Oh, right. Comminuted fractures in both arms and a facial fracture. Fortunately, there does not seem to be any serious brain damage. However, his orbital floor has broken into small pieces, and his eyes may suffer from its aftereffects. On the bright side, whoever thought of stabilizing Eraser Head helped a lot. His recovery would've been longer as a result."
"That was Spider-Man's idea."
"I'll make a note of that."
"What about Thirteen?"
"Thirteen has been treated. The laceration from the back to the upper arm was bad, but Thirteen will survive. As well as All Might. We don't know about Spider-Man's condition, however. All Might said that he was stabbed which caused him to retreat. All we can do is hope he's okay. I do know that he has recovered from worse. I believe it's time for you to head back to your classrooms."
"All right, we should go. Come on, Deku. You might be able to visit our classroom."
"I'm not sure. I need to be somewhere first. Sorry".
Uraraka seemed to understand as she walked towards the bus. Before Izuku entered the vehicle, he made a call. "Hatsume, can you meet me at my house? And bring a large medkit".
~Midoriya Residence (Nighttime)~
"I don't understand how you have the determination to keep doing this."
"Ow! I just try to focus on why I do it".
Hatsume adjusted her goggles as she wanted to make sure she was doing the stitches right. "You know you're lucky that I know First-Aid as well. Otherwise, you'd be stuck with a huge wound on your shoulder."
"Yeah, so lucky…"
"What's wrong? You don't seem like your usual self."
"I just remembered something from yesterday. Remember how I told you about the bad guy who hurt my mom."
"Yeah."
"Well, that guy put her in a coma for these last few years and they might have a chance to get her back."
"Really? That's great!... But, you don't seem happy?"
"I'm beyond happy. I could finally see my mom awake again, but you're right. I'm not. The treatment costs almost one million dollars in order for her to get the actual treatment. And they gave me a generous year before they decided to pull the plug. Huh, isn't that a great way to start off my first U.A. school year? First the Stark Expo, Pro Heroes are after Spidey, the U.S.J. and now my father won't pay anything to keep my mom alive."
"What?! What is wrong with him?!"
"I don't know anymore. I also still need to find a way to get one million dollars in a year."
"I mean you could ask Osborn."
"No, no, no. He's my friend. I can't possibly ask him to spare a million dollars on me. I need to do this on my own. But I can worry about myself later. I hope that everyone else is safe".
~Osborn Residence~
"Dad, have you heard the news?"
"Everyone has Harry. In fact, I'm currently heading to a meeting with the staff of the U.A. and we're going to discuss this. I should be back before midnight. There is food in the fridge and check-in with Laura. I feel like she hasn't taken the news lightly. But not now. She told me that she wants to be alone for a few minutes."
"I understand. Take care".
Harry went back to the couch and started listening to a news report. Meanwhile, Laura was in her room going back and forth on a decision she was about to make. She sighed as she called someone on her phone.
*Bzzz*
*Bzzz*
*Bzz*
"Hello?"
"Logan? Is that you?"
"Laura?! What's wrong? You usually never call."
"Have you heard?"
"Yeah, I heard, kid. It's not who you think it was. That man should be long gone."
"How can you be so sure. He's the one who made me like this. He could still be out there, he could…"
"Laura. Calm down. If you want I could visit you and have a talk."
"You don't have to, I'm just worried. I needed someone to talk to."
"How about this. U.A. is having their annual Sports Festival. I can set up a quick meeting to talk about the possibility of that bastard still being alive. If there is a possibility he's out there, I'll find him and end this once and for all. If he's not, you can continue that normal life you deserve."
"That… sounds nice."
"Good. Now please go to sleep. You woke me up pretty early. Different time zones remember."
"Right. I'll see you then Logan".
She hung up as she felt a bit relieved. That feeling soon left her as she looked at her hands and remembered something.
*Snikt*
After years, two sharp metallic claws were sticking out of her hand with blood spewing out of her knuckles, as she started to get angry. "Why? Why did this happen… to me"?!
She slammed her fist onto her desk and broke it in half. "Hey, Laura are you alright?"
"Huh? oh no. Yeah! I just hurt myself, I'll be fine!"
"Oh, okay. I hope you feel better."
"Thanks, Harry! I'll try".
~Hatsume Residence~
Mei arrived at her house and immediately rushed to her room. She made sure to close the door and lock it. Her room was filled with tools, drawings, and several inventions she made herself. She opened her laptop and got to work on Izuku's new suit. After what happened at the U.S.J. she knew that the old one wouldn't cut it. As she was scrolling through several designs, she thought to make him before. She stopped scrolling as she saw a very old design. Not for a Spider-Man suit, but for a prototype armor.
Out of curiosity, she selected it and saw what it was about. It showcased a huge buff armor that looked like a metallic version of All Might or Endeavor. She saw several errors with it. The appearance would most likely limit mobility and speed. Not to mention, it looked like it had rockets on armor's legs. If it was to fly, then it wouldn't go far. She almost forgot what inspired her to make armor like that, but it hit her.
Every kid around her wanted to be a hero, while she just wanted to build things. She had several ideas for heroes all around the world to use her inventions. But in the deepest part of her was a desire to help people in her own way. That's why she designed an armor like that.
"I mean, it's not a bad concept, but this could use some work… well, I mean. Izuku seemed pretty okay with the damaged suit for now. I guess I could redesign the suit. Out of curiosity".
The first thing she did was remove all the weapons she thought would be great to have. Flamethrower, rockets, machine gun, lasers, yeah everything was a mess. She then focused on the design itself. She decided to make it look slimmer, more agile, and more realistic.
She didn't bother to add color and let the armor keep its metallic silver. She added flaps, stabilizers, and a power source which would be the most essential part of its design. Once she finished, she was amazed at what she made.
"I'll still need to work on it, but this… this could work!... But right now. I need to focus on something else".
~Musutafu, Japan~
After being completely stitched up and seeing Hatsume leave, the first thing Izuku did was try and search for any clues of the whereabouts of the league. And he found…
"Nothing. Not one little clue! Man, what is happening? No Taskmaster, No League, No Black Cat, No job, No money, and no mom. When did life decide to shit on me?... whatever.
At least everyone in Class 1-A is safe and the League lost several of their allies. All I can hope for is that it stays like that for a while. Give yourself some credit, Izuku. You saved All Might and put away a lot of bad guys. I just need a vacation from this".
Izuku stopped swinging as he saw the city from above. He took off his mask to get a better view. It was so peaceful. There weren't any sirens, any loud noise, or even costumed heroes on site. Midoriya tried to think of the last time he had felt like this. Before the mask, before the bullying, and before anything bad happened. As much as he tried, he couldn't remember anything.
To many, it would seem so sad or depressing, but to Izuku. He didn't care much. This is who he was now. It was his choice to put on the mask, to help others, and to accept the risks. Someday, he would be able to feel this calm once again, but until that day comes. He will continue to help people. Izuku stood up from the building and dived off of the building. "Expand"!
His wingsuit deployed as he was gliding in the city. "One final swing across the city and then I'll head home. I could really use some Pizza".
