Izuku and Shigaraki are walking into the park. They hop over the spinning bars that let you enter the place. He can't remember what the word is. Turnstyles? Something like that.

"So how do we do this?" asks Shigaraki.

"I play tank and pull it over and you play rogue. Sneak up on it and disintegrate him." replies Izuku.

"Simple enough." says Shigaraki.

"In theory." replies Izuku.

Izuku and Shigaraki stop walking. It's singing. It can talk. Any question he had about this thing's sentience was just answered. So is he really gonna kill this thing? Think of sucks and whatever this thing is it doesn't deserve this but… damn he's still doing it.

It's a good singer too. It's an old song. An English one. Nat King Cole he thinks. Yeah, Tis autumn by Nat King Cole. He recognizes it. Summer is close to ending so it's kind of fitting.

"I've got a vague plan. Hide in one of those game stands and I'm gonna sing with him. If he comes closer we're in for a fight. If he leaves we chase." says Izuku.

Shigaraki doesn't say anything, he just shoots him a thumbs up and does what he was asked.

Izuku joins the monster in a duet. Raising his voice he sings along with it. The voice is getting closer and closer. Suddenly it stops, although he keeps singing. He knows it's nearby, it's just smart enough to stop singing. He expects it to show up at the end of the line of stands any second now.

It's right behind him. Play it cool. He starts to walk down the aisle. Slow and confident. It follows him. He knows Shigaraki can see this. He winks at him and keeps walking. He wants Shigaraki behind it. He stops singing when he gets to the end of the song. Suddenly he hears footsteps. Loud and fast. It's charging him and he takes off running. When he's put enough distance between them he whips around and empties his pistol into it. It hasn't slowed down at all. He quickly snaps the pistol back into its holster and meets the thing head on. He's had easier times stopping cars but he does manage to stop the thing. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Shigaraki jump out from behind the counter and run at him.

Apparently it sees him coming. It shoves Izuku back and whips around to swipe at Shigaraki. That's when Izuku' sees its back side, if you could call it that. It doesn't just have one face, it has like ten. There all over its body the thing doesn't have a blindspot. Shigaraki ducks under its claws and back pedals for some distance. Meanwhile Izuku sprints straight at it and spears it with his body. He sends them both tumbling about 30 feet. He ends up on top and starts slamming his fists against it. The flesh bruises and the bone cracks but it doesn't seem all that affected. It just screeches and starts swiping at him now. He jumps off of it, the force cracking the concrete beneath the beast. It takes off towards Shigaraki and jumps clean over him. Izuku sprouts his wings and launches himself after it. He lands behind it and hits the ground running. He grabs the back of it and starts wrestling it down to buy time for Shigaraki but it throws him off and onto a stationary roller coaster cart. While he's getting up it sprints to the controls, flips a lever and the coaster starts moving. Izuku loses his footing and falls back into one of the seats. When he looks up the thing is scuttling along the tracks after him like a spider.

He did not sign up for this shit.

He reloads his pistol as quickly as he can while holding onto the ride. He lets out a few shots before realizing he's about to go through a loop. He holsters the pistol and holds on for dear life or whatever he has left of one. He held on successfully but the nomu, was that what they were called, didn't take the loop; it jumped where the tracks were straight again and cut him off. It tackles him and nearly throws him off but chooses to hold him down and bite at his ribs. With his free arm Izuku starts slugging the thing as hard as he can at what he assumes is its head. He manages to squirm out and spread his wings but it grabs him and tears one off.

"JUMP." Shigaraki shouts.

Jump? Jump where? Jump why? Oh. The tracks are gone. Disintegrated. He tries to get away from it but it just has too many arms to hold him with and they go down together. They go down far and they go down hard. Izuku lands first and it lands on him, bounces off and lands again. Izuku's ribs and skull get crushed. While he's twitching and growing part of his brain back, Shigaraki capitalizes on the opportunity and finally gets his hands on the thing. It's turning to dust when the flesh just collapses and a normal sized but four armed body bursts from the flesh puddle and takes off. Izuku and Shigaraki give chase. It turns and whips around with Izuku's pistol. He goes for his revolver and draws. He's close but not close enough as he gets his middle finger shot clean off and drops the gun.

Izuku and Shigaraki skid to a halt both putting their arms in front of them placatingly. Well Shigaraki does. Izuku puts one arm out the other hand holding his hunting knife behind his back.

The thing actually stops. They've chased and beaten it and shot it and disintegrated most of its body mass and it actually stopped, it really doesn't want to hurt them.

Izuku dives to the side, throwing his knife at it. It puts a bullet through Izuku's chest and his knife gets stuck in its knee. It drops the gun, falls to the ground and starts clutching its knee.

Izuku motions Shigaraki back and walks over to it. He picks up the gun and kneels next to it.

"Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please." it begs him.

"Shh shh shh, it's okay. It's okay now. Everything is gonna be alright." Izuku whispers to it with a smile.

It looks up and smiles back at him.

BANG

Blood and gray matter stain Izuku's face. Despite not needing it he takes a deep breath and sighs. That's fucking with him. He shouldn't have done that. He can feel the soul through the blood, it no he was a good person. He deserved better than that.

He's never gonna forget that face. The hope. The need for saving. He'll never forget these lifeless eyes. Not four seconds ago were they full of hope.

Izuku sighs before picking up the body, "Let's go home."

Authors Note

Was that fucked up or what? This ones a little shorter but I'm kinda proud of this one. I think I did pretty good. Lemme know what you think. Or don't you do you.

There are gonna be a few more chapters before U.A. Just some tying up lose ends and the end of the vigilante arc.

namethename: It was such a good question I had to answer it in the authors note.
