The gunmen still at the party were shocked to see the Pro Heroes get released from their restraints. The two near All-Might found their heads knocked together once he was free while the one near Celestia was blasted by a concussive solar beam.
"You really should have figured it out. Somehow these schemes always seem to have a hole in them." Celestia said with a coy smirk.
"Now if you'll excuse us, we have an old friend to save!" All-Might announced.
The two quickly raced through the halls to the upper floors before All-Might got a call on his smartphone.
"Uncle Might! Thank goodness I got through!" Melissa's voice came from the other end. "Those villains stole some of Papa's research. He's been shot and lost some blood, but I don't think he's in any danger. You need to stop those villains from escaping, the research they took can magnify Quirks!"
"So that's what Dave was working on..." All-Might thought. "No wonder he had it shut down."
Wolfram reached the helipad with the case, where a helicopter was waiting for him.
"Is it just you, Boss? Where's everyone else?" The chopper pilot asked
"If they aren't captured by now, they will be when the security system reboots," Wolfram said. "We have no choice but to leave them. All we have to do is take this to someone who can reverse engineer it, then have it mass-produced to make a mint."
Just then, he saw some kind of purple smoke surround the helipad. As he and the pilot looked around, he felt something grab at the case. He pulled back and saw a magenta magical aura surrounding it.
"Dammit! Those brats caught up that fast?!"
He slapped the ground, launching metal pillars to keep Izuku and Twilight at bay.
"Start the chopper! Let's get out of here right now!"
The pilot quickly got the chopper started as Wolfram got on it.
"Once we get high enough we should be good!" the pilot said, getting the chopper in the air.
Suddenly, a beam of solar energy sliced through the helicopter blades, causing it to start falling out of control as Wolfram and the pilot tried to hold on.
"NEW HAMPSHIRE SMASH!"
All-Might launched himself through the chopper, grabbing both Wolfram and the pilot on the way, slamming them onto the helipad as the chopper exploded.
"I'm sorry, what was that you said earlier about having the entire island as your hostage?" Celestia asked as she floated down with her wings.
Wolfram chuckled. "Not bad...you two are just as powerful as I heard. But you forgot one thing..."
He opened the case to reveal the Quirk Amplification Device.
"...You should have made sure this was still on the chopper!"
He triggered the device and activated his Quirk, the metal constructs sending All-Might and Celestia flying into the emergency exit.
"Celestia!" Twilight cried.
"All-Might!" Izuku screamed, the two running over to their teachers. "Are you okay?!"
"We'll be fine..." All-Might grimaced. "But I think it's safe to say we know why the government wanted that device shut down."
"Looks like I can start things over again!" Wolfram laughed, now donning the device on his head. "This power is more than I imagined! If it can do this with me, then just think how many people will pay through the nose for it to enhance their own powers!"
"Gotta give him credit..." David said as he stumbled out of the stairs. "He's still focused on profit even now. But with his Quirk magnified, he can turn the entire island into a weapon. I'd hoped to tone down the enhancement level, but I had to freeze the research before I could figure out how."
"With this much power, I'm practically a GOD!" Wolfram noted with a maniacal grin. "But why just be powerful when I could also be rich?! If I kill the two greatest Heroes using this device, I can charge whatever I want to whoever wants one!"
"Jeez, hard to believe All-Might and Celestia AREN'T beloved the world over." David sarcastically noted.
"We've made a lot of enemies in our time..." Celestia sighed.
"Come on, we'll get the Shields out of here!" Twilight said as she and Izuku worked on escorting Melissa and David out of the way.
"Hey! We should be helping them!" Marco cried.
"There's nothing we can do!" Ochako said. "It's best to just let All-Might and Celestia handle things!"
Wolfram sneered as he watched All-Might and Celestia plow through his attacks before sending several metal pillars at once, only for them to get frozen over, then blasted and smashed apart. Looking to where that had come from, the mercenary villain spotted Katsuki, Shoto, Ghidorah, and Tony as they landed.
"Where the hell did THOSE brats come from?!"
"They are the product of the world we want to create!" Celestia said, her wings flaring. "A world where dignity, honor, and justice are the reality we all share and fight for!"
"For the friends, family, students, and others counting on us, we'll go beyond! PLUS ULTRA!" All-Might declared.
All-Might's power seemed to increase even further while Celestia was surrounded by a heavenly aura of solar energy. The two easily blasted through Wolfram's constructs, both of them pulling their fists back before unleashing a flaming double punch.
"RISING SUN SMASH!"
The two smashed their way right at Wolfram, but the villain just smirked.
"Somehow he knew you might make it this far."
To the two heroes' surprise, Wolfram started letting off steam as his body bulked up considerably, his skin glowing a vibrant pink and his eyes becoming black with sparking pupils.
"A second Quirk?! No, it can't be..." Celestia realized.
Wolfram grinned maniacally as he slammed both fists into All-Might and Celestia, knocking them right off the giant construct.
"While my team and I were planning this operation, I received an intriguing phone call. Seems All For One had somehow gotten wind of our scheme, and made me an offer. At first, I didn't think he was serious about you being here, but I figured it couldn't hurt to have a contingency plan!" He said as he started to form nearby metal junk into cubes. "He hooked me up with a Quirk called [Muscle Augmentation]! A simple but versatile Quirk that even a baby could handle! And since Quirks are physical power as well, that means I can also improve [Metal Manipulation]! Thanks to that, you're all nothing but insignificant trash that needs to learn when to lie down and be crushed!"
With those words, he sent the cubes he created down to crush All-Might and Celestia, only for Marco to suddenly fly in and thrust his hands out, harnessing his Iron Element to make the cubes halt in progress.
"Young Marco!"
A thin beam of light briefly flickered through the sky before the cubes were suddenly sliced into much smaller cubes that rained harmlessly from the sky. Celestia noticed the beam and smiled as her eyes briefly glanced at Twilight.
"Only a villain like you would see others as trash! You're so high on power you can't tell how precarious the perch is!" Marco said
Izuku jumped up, his body crackling with the energy of [One For All] as All-Might smiled proudly at his successor, Celestia sharing the sentiment with Twilight.
"What say the five of us give this guy a healthy dose of reality?"
"You know it!" Marco laughed, Click chirping excitedly.
The five immediately started flying forward. Wolfram growled in fury as he launched more metal cubes and pillars, only for Katsuki, Shoto, Ghidorah, and Tony to knock them aside with their own powers.
"Sorry, asshole! But we're a team!" Ghidorah said.
"And you're all out of allies! You're alone!" Tony added.
"No matter how powerful you make yourself, one man is still only one." Shoto finished.
Wolfram yelled in rage as he kept launching more of the metal tower in an effort to kill his targets, but the five heroes were just too fast and too strong, even against the Quirk Amplification Device.
"There's no way! How am I not stronger than them, even with this device!?"
"It's still only a prototype, and I was never able to properly adjust it for use with multiple Quirks," David said. "Basically, you're overloading it to the point where it's starting to melt down."
Wolfram growled. "Then I'll just smash you all to nothing with one giant attack!"
He gathered all the spare metal he could, creating a massive cube larger than the helipad.
"That's pretty big!" Ochako called out worriedly.
However, the five heroes consisting of Izuku Midoriya, Lydia 'Twilight Sparkle' Yugure, Marco Nui, Toshinori 'All-Might' Yagi, and Amaterasu 'Celestia' Taiyo, leaped right at the giant cube without fear.
"We'll give this thing everything we got!" All-Might declared.
"In order to save everyone in front of us!" Izuku added.
"No matter the cost!" Twilight continued.
"THAT'S WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A HERO!" All five declared together.
"HARMONY...SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"
Wolfram tried to brace the cube against the onslaught, but it was too strong for even his magnified power and he felt his muscles start to tear.
"No! This is impossible...!"
Marco grinned, his body surrounded by superhot plasma using his Plasma Element as he melted through the cube, allowing him and the others to burrow through.
"Let's go beyond... PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Wolfram quickly covered himself in metal wrappings, but it did no good, as he was slammed with the full force of all five heroes. The device exploded, having been overtaxed, and Wolfram found himself blacking out as his metal construct shattered from the sheer force.
David smiled as he and everyone else watched the spectacle. The sun seemed to rise in tune with this momentous victory.
Once the island authorities were alerted as to what was really going on, Wolfram and his team were rounded up and contained. David, his arm now in a sling, looked saddened as he saw Sam's body being shipped off to the morgue.
"Now I'm wondering just how long Sam was pretending..."
"If only he could have seen just how dangerous the research really was." Celestia sadly noted.
"Of course, we're gonna have to push the expo back a few days because of this whole mess," All-Might said.
David smiled. "Maybe, but I think we can do something for your class to make up for it."
"LET'S EAT!"
The class was excitedly taking part in a barbecue at one of the island's beaches, hosted by Dave and Melissa.
"To think all that was happening while most of us were stuck in our hotel rooms," Rikidou said.
"Shame I didn't get to join in on the action." Tempest chuckled.
"Awww! What a bummer!" Derpy sighed.
"We were mostly sitting in our hotel room playing UNO until the emergency went down," Tsuyu said.
"I say we had plenty of fun still!" Mina pointed out.
"Yeah, if Junko didn't try cheating that is!" Terumi said, giving his blind classmate a dirty look as she smiled innocently.
In a few days, the expo would be reopened, with plenty of time before the training camp. It was a rare chance for Class 1-A to get some peace in. After all, more trouble was likely to be right around the corner.
And so ends the I-Island Arc! Soon, we'll be getting back to the canon series of events with the Training Camp!
