She felt it, something inside of her reacted when Izuku's head was separated from his body. It bubbled inside of her, it called inside of her, it called for blood.
The sky darkened, the sun turned red, and the city panicked. As the freakishly black clouds formed out of nothing the warehouse was quiet. Shota looked around for a moment, before he noticed it, the blood on the floor was vibrating, bouncing, and pooling.
"Hawks light him up," Shota yelled as he hastily dumped gas on Izuku's body. Hawks sprang into action and set the body ablaze. The fire roared to life; Shota took a shaky breath in relief. He was wrong.
The fire was raging this way and that; then it seemed to start to sway, the tips of the flame no longer wild. Suddenly arms made of flame exploded from the inferno and grabbed the severed head pulling it to the body. Through the flames, they saw the body stand, and over the flames, they heard the sickening sound of bones breaking as the figure in the flames shape changed, growing taller, limbs growing longer, through the flames the head morphed with grotesque bat-like features, eyes blood red.
The flames fired out past Shota towards Hawks. Hawk's eyes widened as he deftly dodged to the side, to his horror the flame turned and came rushing back. He took the air as the inferno gave chase.
Shota and Mic turned, seeing the horror of the abomination in front of him, fur and flesh burned, blood-red eyes. It blurred past Shota appearing in front of President Mic its claws diving deep into and out of the blonde's gut. Shota screamed and charged at the beast swinging the bastard sword, the monster didn't move. With a backhand Shota went crashing out of the building, his body bouncing off the concrete, his ribs broken, possibly his sternum. Blood exploded from his mouth, and he saw it flow into the warehouse.
Hawks raced around the building attempting to escape the fire that chased him, he dove towards the back of the beast hoping to cause the flames to crash into the monster. As he narrowly dodged a claw swipe the fire split around the bat creature. Hawks raced out of the hole in the wall and up into the sky, he needed room to maneuver.
Toga saw the pro hero explode out of the building, and the blood spilled flying into the newly made exit. She knew what was coming, Toga froze and fell to her knees.
The creature stepped out as heroes and police sprang from their concealment, they froze at what they saw. It turned its head, its gaze falling upon Toga, slowly it extended its hand, and the claws lightly caressed her face. Shota got to his feet and activated his quirk more out of instinct than anything. He couldn't track it as appeared in front of him, his mind couldn't keep up with the movement, not even when his intestines spilled onto the floor.
Hawks was at a loss, tapping the earpiece he called out, "This is Hawks, I need everyone near Mustafa to converge on the docks, we have an Omega-level threat, President Mic and Eraser Head are down and may die. I am evacuating their bodies to the paramedics. Can anyone hear me?"
"I CAN HEAR YOU HAWKS; I AM ON MY WAY"
The police opened fire, they had no other recourse, and the beast did not react kindly. It tore over to their position, their screams filled the air, and their blood filled the beast.
Mt. Lady fought back the horror of the carnage she had just witnessed 10 officers had just lost their lives before she could even react. Her anger roared, springing into action, her colossal fist crashing down into this monstrosity. She did it, she got it. The other heroes felt a momentary sense of relief that ended when Mt. Lady screamed. Her hand exploded in blood and flesh, the creature had torn through the bones of her fist to get to her, it was racing up her arm its long limbs trailing behind it huge gashes being left in its wake. The blood collects above the creature's head. She swung her un-injured hand batting the thing from her, it tumbled in the air till massive wings sprouted, it was there hovering above the ground. It was uninjured, and worst of all they thought it was smiling.
Hawks zoomed past with the fire in hot pursuit, he launched his feathers slicing deep into the beast. No blood flew, he saw it heal instantly, then it disappeared. Years of training saved Hawks that day, he sensed it above him, and he managed to bring his wings up in defense and the beast drove the hero to the earth with a crushing double ax handle smash.
Death Arms raced and caught Hawks, as Kami Woods stepped forward, "LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON" The hero's ultimate move raced towards its target. The fire came darting around the beast and mimicked the projectiles intercepting them and racing up to envelope the hero who screamed as the flames engulfed him. Backdraft raced in to attempt to quelch the flames. The beast roared and the ball of blood above his head exploded out into spears that raced out and started to impale the other officers in the area.
A gunshot exploded from nowhere colliding with the head of the beast's blood exploded but froze in the air and swarmed back to the beast. As the monster's head came back into view, they could see the bullet had pierced the creature's eye, they watched in horror as it reformed. It spits the bullet on the ground below. Snipe had taken his best shot.
The teacher of U.A. rushed onto the field as a cement prison wrapped around the monster, Vlad King ran crouching in front he cupped his hands as Midnight ran and was tossed onto the top, tearing open her suit her gas began to flood into prison.
Toga had been watching the display having not moved, something inside her welled up, "MOVE!" she shouted to the rated R heroine. Midnight dived away as the Cementous's prison exploded, the gas floating down. The beast looked around him at the fresh collection of heroes and smiled. In a voice that would haunt their dreams. "Bleed for me!"
Vlad attempted to withdraw before his leg was impaled into the ground by a long claw. "I remember you," it said. Ectoplasm swarmed the monster, driving it away and allowing the blood hero to escape, it seemed to be working when the clones began to freeze and fall away. Hawks took advantage of the situation and came it at tops speed with a blade of his feathers it struck true, the creature's head did not fall from its body, instead it reached and grasped the hero, its claws piercing Hawk's torso, the fire formed and coated the heroes' wings. Another well-placed shot drove the creature back for a moment before the blood spears raced and returned to the creature. The damage healed; its muscles swelled the skin took on a metallic gleam.
Cementos managed to erect a barrier that shattered under the attack of the beast sending him flying back. Ectoplasm and Backdraft pulled Hawks back. The heroes gathered the best and took a step at its feral grin spreading. Vlad King knew they were dead, Endeavor was too far away and hospitalized, Shota was clinging to life along with President Mic, Kami Woods, and Mt. Lady was out of commission, along with Hawks. The beast blurred and was in front of them, they couldn't track it. In a single desperate act, he pushed Midnight away. Today was the day he died.
Well almost died.
"DETROIT SMASH! FALLBACK HEROES, IT IS ALL RIGHT BECAUSE I. AM. HERE."
The creature was launched back one of its wings had put itself between it and the strike. "All-Might." It said.
All-Might launched forward in a blur. His right hook landed the following uppercut the creature dodged, and the creature buried its claws into the hero's side, All-Might grit his teeth and with a massive backhand, he sent the creature back. He saw the blood on the beast's claws flow up into the monster's mouth. "All-Might?"
All-Might heard it the questioning at the end of his name, but he couldn't focus on it, they rushed each other, and the heroes couldn't follow the exchange, the flurry of blows the blood flying only to be reabsorbed. All-Might was launched into the air with a vicious uppercut, before he could recover the creature appeared above him and hammered him back into the earth, it followed the hero to the ground and drove its claws through the hero's shoulders. "all-might" it said. All-Might battled through the pain and grabbed the creature's head, his thumbs gouging out the monster's eyes, it screamed and scrambled away. He had to press his advantage, "TEXAS SMASH, CAROLINA FLURRY".
The creature was pummeled and sent flying away crashing into the side of the warehouse, it was healing but slowly, it stumbled forward, "all-might," it whispered.
"YOU MUST BE STOPPED FOUL DEMON, UNITED STATES OFFFFF SSSMMMMAAAASSSSHHH"
The devastating attack flew forward, the creature met the attack, the claws on its hand collapsing into a single blade, All-Might altered the trajectory of his all-out attack, the blade bit deeply into his forearm, carving a path up the hero's arm, All-Might pushed through his punch landing true with a sickening snap the monsters head turned rotated facing the other way. It fell there to its knees.
All-Might stepped back blood pouring from his arm. A single burst of sunlight broke free, the light a golden yellow no longer the blood red, it fell upon the beast. Its body began to smoke, "all….might". The hero froze. Its head sickly fixed itself. Like a creeping infestation, the sun began to darken, not red this time but black.
"RIP HIM APART! YOU HAVE TO TEAR HIM IN HALF."
All-Might saw a blonde girl struggling to stand.
"IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE, ALL MIGHT."
All Might stepped forward powering through the pain in his arms, he drove his hands into the creature's chest, and with a mighty roar, he tore the creature in two, its blood splattering everywhere. As the hero cleared the blood from his vision, he saw a young man with green hair standing in front of him. The man smiled, "Cool All-Might."
The yellow rays of the sun broke through the sky, and the boy fell to his knees, "Can I be a hero now? I still don't have a quirk?" the boy's eyes glazed, and he toppled over into the arms of the blonde girl who barely managed to catch him.
-Flashback-
"All-Might, do you think I can be a hero even without a quirk?"
"No young man I don't think you can…but there are always other ways that you can help others, such as being a member of the police, or a doctor. Without a quirk, you cannot be a hero. I am sorry for that but that is the truth. I trust you to keep your word about today, goodbye young Midoriya."
-Flashback Ends-
All-Might was stunned, his arm was wrecked, as he looked at this boy. This boy was vastly different from the rooftop that day. Those green eyes bored into him just like that day. The day that All-Might had failed him. He saw it, he saw the light drain from the boy with those simple words. He had tried to soften the blow albeit poorly, he had even left him on the roof that day. He knew he had devastated him; he had failed him. Now here the boy was, he had developed something? But the boy didn't call it a quirk, what had happened here today. People's lives had been lost, was this the same boy that had nearly killed Mirko and had put Endeavor in the hospital as well? Devastated Velocity. He had fought so many pro heroes today, what was that monstrous form? All-Might felt the blood slither off him and collect on the Midoriya, saw it slither into the boy's body, he tensed expecting the boy to rise but he did not.
-Toga-
She had felt it the entire time, throughout the chaos and the carnage, she was safe. Nothing was going to hurt her. She felt it in her core, she felt it in the blood.
They came and placed Izuku Midoriya in cuffs and took him into holding pending investigation as to what the hell had happened on the docks. The heroes that could be healed were dispatched to the city to calm the panic that had occurred with the sun changing colors, and the clouds. 12 Police officers were dead, and 10 more were in critical condition. Hawks, President Mic, Eraser Head, Kami Woods, and Mt. Lady were all rushed to the hospital. All-Might received a healing kiss from Recovery Girl and moved toward the city.
Nezu sat back and steepled his hands, what were they to do with the boy/beast? If left in the hands of the commission, he was sure that they would just turn him into a bioweapon. Putting him in Tartarus would only prolong the inevitable, would dampening cuffs even work on him? Could they even hold him? Maybe they could execute him? Fire? Endeavor? Yes, maybe that would be the best course of action.
But? What if he could harness this beast, make him his monster? The monster of the U.A. The boy wore human skin, but was it truly human anymore? Let the hunters execute him or at least try and when they fail come in and save the monster. Yes, make the monster his. The mammal began to giggle, the giggle turned into a cackle. This would all work out marvelously, either way, he wins, and the commission loses.
