Aizawa was absolutely ruthless. Izuku must have really pissed him off when he called earlier. Aizawa was moving a lot faster than the last couple of times they fought. Hitting harder and faster than Izuku had seen him hit before. But Izuku wasn't stupid. He liked to act like he wasn't the brightest and speak informally but he was smarter than he acts. He knew he couldn't keep up with Aizawa without his left arm. So he stayed a little further back than usual. Striked less and used his right to block. Even then Aizawa was letting him have it. Izuku was reeling back. He hit an air conditioning unit. As soon as Aizawa had him in a corner had hit him with a series of combinations that Izuku couldn't keep up with. Izuku was taking the hits fine he was protecting his head until Aizawa hit him right where Overhaul tore him open. Izuku didn't swing at him. Instead he kicked off the air conditioning unit and tackled Aizawa. He was about to slam his fist down on Aizawa's head when hound dog tackled him. Izuku wrapped his hand around Hound dog's muzzle to keep him from biting and kicked him out. As soon as he got up he had to step back to avoid getting whipped across the chest. He heard a bang and felt something hit his head. Snipe loaded up his revolver with Rubber bullets. He jumped over to the building snipe was on and got shot two more times on the way over. Before he could swing at Snipe he got kicked in the back of the head. He turned to see eight ectoplasms staring at him. He saw one standing back he hoped that was the original cuz he was gonna tear through the clones. It tried to block with it's metal legs but Izuku's claws cut right through it and slashed the clone's throat. It turned into ectoplasm and fell to the ground. It doesn't have blood so he can't get a power up.

"Yall really want me this damn bad? I mean the old man and his roommates coming after me is one thing but he organized all this with almost no notice and all you piss stains just had nothing better to do." mocks Izuku, "It's kinda funny in a way."

Izuku didn't have time to keep talking as the rest of the ectoplasm clones rushed him. He could handle them at least he thought he could until Aizawa wrapped up his arm and gave the scarf to hound dog to hold. The clones knocked him on the ground and started kicking him. He was certain Aizawa had told them that his quirk isn't erasable. So they know they can't cuff him. Izuku understands that they don't have an alternative he really does, but he isn't gonna lay there and take that. He rolls to the side, through some of the clones legs and knocks them over. He ties up some of the clones in the scarf as best as he could. Hounddog stopped pulling him. Izuku yanked and pulled the scarf out of Hounddog's tight grasp. Once Izuku freed himself he felt Midnight's whip crack across his chest. He lunged at her to retaliate but was cut short when Aizawa kicked him in the side of the head. The bastard did it before he crossed the gap between buildings. He fell with a crash as Aizawa landed gracefully to his side.

Fuck. God Damnit. Shit.

He landed real bad. He landed on his stomach. Where Overhaul shish kebabed him. He lifted his mask just a little as he vomited onto the street. It was crimson. He pulled his mask back down and jumped back to his feet. He looked to the side and saw Eri was staring at him. Shit she looked scared. It was fine he could do this. Hey threw a haymaker at Aizawa who ducked under it and drilled Izuku's chest. This continued for a while. It was honestly impressive how many hits Izuku could take without regeneration. This time Izuku changed his move up a little bit and tried to headbut Aizawa who mostly dodged. Izuku's head connected with his shoulder. Izuku felt a sharp pain in his back. Snipe was opening fire on his back. He would have done something about that but he found Midnight's whip wrapped around his arm. Once again they gave it to hounddog to hold him down. With his arm out of the equation Aizawa kept hitting him. Izuku would have tried to move around more but the Ectoplasms were back and if he strayed too far towards them he'd get kicked by their prosthetic legs. He was getting completely fucked here. Izuku finally hit Aizawa, granted it wasn't the best. It was a punch to the chest but he used his stump arm. The only problem was that seemed to trigger a phantom pain. Izuku stumbled back and slid Midnight's whip under his mask and bit through it.

"Alright ya know what Aizawa you were real cool at first but fuck you. Seriously you brought all these damn schmucks out here for me. Fuck you, dick rag." shouts Izuku.

"... I know what I'm doing here isn't a good thing. I really do. Tactics like this aren't encouraged among heroes. But I've seen a kid like you who wanted to fight villains and ended up dead. He was a good kid and a close friend of mine. I don't want to see you end up like him. Please don't end up like him." says Aizawa pleadingly.

"If I was your friend I'd go and get myself killed too." says Izuku… he shouldn't have said that. Shit. He really shouldn't have said that. God Damnit. He's not gonna let Aizawa know he regrets that, "Fuck outta here old man."

Aizawa just reared back and slugged the shit out of him. It was actually super impressive for someone without super strength. Hard as hell, the smacking sound echoed through the night. Although it wasn't as loud as the cracking noise. That wasn't to bring him in either. It was personal everyone there knew it. Izuku reached under his mask and pulled out a tooth that he threw at Aizawa. Aizawa threw a haymaker at Izuku who ducked under it and headbutted Aizawa and sent him to the ground with a broken nose. He was about to follow up when Hounddog tried to tackle him. Izuku jumped into the air to avoid it. The second he did he felt an ungodly amount of pain and sound. Present Mic hit him in Mid air when he couldn't dodge. Izuku's eyes rolled back in his head and he went limp as he fell to the ground. He landed… he didn't get up. The heroes moved closer. He was knocked out. The ectoplasms moved in first just to make sure they had him. Izuku gasped and his body shook. He got back up. As soon as he saw the ectoplasm he started going for the throat. He slashed his way through about twelve of them before he saw Aizawa jump over them and plant both feet right in his face. Izuku rolled back after the hit and got back to his feet. He took two steps forward before falling back to the ground. He tried to get up again but his legs just couldn't hold him. His legs felt like jelly. He tried with all the might he had left but he just couldn't. He didn't breath faster nor did his heart rate go up but he was certain he was having a panic attack. It felt weird without a heartbeat but he was certain that was what he was experiencing. The heroes moved in. To everybody's surprise Eri ran out into the street and stood over Izuku.

"Leave him alone." shouts Eri.

"Get back." says Izuku almost silently.

"Please." says Eri.

"..."

"Is that… her?" asks Aizawa.

Izuku finally got up to his knees and wrapped his arm around Eri protectively.

"Get back. I'll slash your throat." says Izuku.

This managed to stop the heroes in their tracks. The wouldn't approach a kid with malicious intent. Even if she was protecting a criminal. Aizawa took a step forward. Eri's breathing got faster more erratic. Her horn grew out of the little stub on her head and into an actual horn. It sort of started to glow.

"What are you doing?" asks Izuku surprised but still quiet.

Eri didn't answer but her horn grew again. Izuku's body began to shudder in pain. He let out a low groan but he didn't let Eri go. He felt heavier in his left side. Aizawa's eyes began to glow red and his hair floated aimlessly above his head. Eri stops glowing and Izuku's pain fades away. Izuku feels his left arm but holds it behind his back where it can't be seen. He sends his location to Giran with his left arm.

"Eri… thank you. I-I know you don't like your power and I know why." Whispers Izuku.

Eri gasps.

"I want you to know it's not your fault. It's. not. your. fault. Your power is so kind and gentle and caring. Like you." says Izuku.

Tears come to Eri's eyes.

" In a way you remind me of an angel." says Izuku

Izuku gets back on his feet and stands in front of Eri. He stares down Aizawa but something else catches his attention. A security camera… an electric pulse ran along the side. What was that? A portal opens up next to the camera. He recognizes the portal. It's kurogiri. They have a way out of this.

"Eri get on my back." says Izuku as he squats back down.

Eri complies. Izuku dashes forwards straight to Aizawa. Instead of fighting him he jumps over him onto the side of a building and leaps through the portal. Shortly after it closes behind him leaving the heroes frustrated with another failed attempt at catching him. Izuku got up and looked around. He was in All for One's warehouse.

"Where are we?" asks Eri.

"We went through a portal. I don't know if we can trust these people but they helped us out so we don't have to be scared." says Izuku.

"Is that any way to talk about your host?" asks All For one.

"Hey there big fella." says Izuku.

"Evening. Can you open a portal to send my little friend to Giran." says Izuku.

"Of course." says All For one.

In a matter of seconds a portal opens up behind Eri.

"And this portal leads to Giran, right?" asks Izuku he never outright threatened All For One but the implication was in his voice and in his glare.

"Of course." says All For One.

"Say hi to Giran for me." says Izuku as Eri goes through the portal.

Izuku takes a seat across from All For One.

"Shogi?" asks All For One gesturing to the coffee table between them with a shogi board on top.

"No." says Izuku.

The two sit there and stare at each other.

"Did you bring me here for a reason?" asks Izuku.

"I want to congratulate you and wish you luck with your concert. And to say happy holidays." says Afo.

"That it?" asks Izuku.

"Well I wanted to play shogi." says All For one.

Izuku sniffs the air.

"Do you have a cat?" asks Izuku.

All for one snaps his fingers and a cat walks out from behind some large tubes in the back of the room and into his lap.

"You look like a bond villain." says Izuku.

"I try." says Afo.

"Hell are those?" asks Izuku while nodding towards the tubes, "And why are they human sized?"

"..."

"I really should fucking kill ya. Ya know that? Seriously... what the hell. Those are human sized. What do you do to those people? You're actually a disgusting person. Like I'm a literal monster and I think your a piece of shit. If Giran wasn't the one who introduced me to you I'd try to kill you." asks Izuku.

"You think you can kill me?" asks Afo.

"... No." says Izuku.

'That's what he took from that?' thinks Izuku.

"Then why the threat?" asks Afo.

"No repercussions, you won't kill me as long as you think I could be useful to you." says Izuku.

"You really are smart." says Afo.

"You're a genius. It's the only reason I can outplay you." says Izuku.

"Elaborate." says Afo.

"You won't make me your pawn because your plans are made elaborately to be foolproof. The more elaborate the plan the easier it falls apart." says Izuku.

All for One smiles at Izuku.

"Don't smile at me, your hard enough to look at with blank face. You're about ugly as shit. Send me to Giran's. I'm sick of your cryptic bull shit." says Izuku.

All for one chuckles, "As you wish."

A portal opens.

"Don't laugh either. You're gross." says Izuku as he walks through the portal.

He picks up Eri and heads home. They've both had a long night and know that Izuku has both of his arms he has a concert to get ready for.

Authors Note

Izuku really can't catch a break but at the very least he got his left arm back. That's a plus. He also had a heart to heart with Eri even if the timing wasn't the greatest. The next chapter is gonna be the concert and Christmas party. Gifts will be exchanged and songs will be sung. Also I was thinking a lot about how I mentioned I would make Izuku fight a rogue Nomu at some point in the future and while that is still some time ahead of us, I've decided to base the fight off of spike Vs Mad pierrot from cowboy bebop. The whole episode had this great spooky atmosphere and I'd like to find a way to write that into a chapter. It was one of my favorite fights from the whole series. I hope I can do it justice. I'll also be giving the Nomu similar powers and similar weapons. Maybe I'll even do it in an abandoned theme park too. I don't know at what point it basically becomes stealing directly from Cowboy Bebop but I might just steal straight from the show, due to my lack of originality and my love for cowboy bebop. Once again I'm sorry that I mistimed the chrsitmas chapters and am having them come out after christmas. One last thing I'm considering going a little bit into Dabi's mind during the Christmas chapter. Because Christmas is supposed to be a time spent with friends and family and the last time Dabi spent time with his family was years ago and it ended horribly. Okay one last thing for real this time, I'm not sure how I would even justify Izuku going to hell for those chapters. He isn't a bad person. He even goes to church and all that. I have one idea but it feels lazy. The idea is vampires and other unholy monsters have trouble getting into heaven. Like it makes sense but it feels lazy. Either that or I just have to turn Izuku into a bad person and not only do I not want to do that, it feels like it would turn out poorly if I tried to write it. Also I'm super sorry the authors note is such a mess. It's more of a ramble than a note.

Amadeus Amadeus: I probably should have mentioned that I watched Helluva boss (and found it extremely entertaining) and was considering using it for content but I guess it slipped my mind. I like the idea of Izuku being dragged into hell because he get wrapped up in some demons business but I already planned how Izuku is going to hell, i Just haven't figured out what he's going to do there. I know that one chapter will be dedicated to finding and talking to vlad. The ideas I've come up with so far for the hell chapters are simple but I've got a couple. One follows the plot of hazbin hotel. One follows Izuku just going all Doom guy and beating the shit out of every single sinner he sees which is literally everyone until he finds vlad and gets his ass beat, but vlad finds out who he is and doesn't kill him. One follows Izuku joining I.M.P and only killing really bad criminals. Although I'm not sure about that one because it involves murder. I don't think Izuku minds killing people who are in hell mainly because he has no idea what happens. One follows Izuku sayin, "fuck it. I'm already in hell. How much worse could I get and joining in on the turf wars but I'm a little shaky on that one. One that I just came up with is Izuku backing up vlad during a turf war. At some point I'd like Izuku to ask Lucifer if it hurt when he fell from heaven. Like the cheesy pick up line. It's followed by like a twenty second stand off. Also Izuku probably finds out that Vlad wasn't always a good person and he learns a bit about other vampires.
