Ok, so before we start this chapter, I just want to point out a few things:
1. Would you rather: Fight 10 Midoriya sized All Might's, or fight one All Might sized Midoriya?
2. Don't mock ANY Mental Disorder in the reviews of my stories. I have Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD myself, so mocking my kind is really triggering, so don't mock mental disorders. Otherwise I block you so you can't review my fics EVER AGAIN.
3. This chapter will contain the following:
• Mentions of kidnapping and murder
• Severed Hands
• A full on panic attack thanks to PTSD.
Feel free to skip this chapter if those things disturb you in any way.
Now that I have all of the important shit out of the way, lets get into this!
The day of Wednesday was a wonderful, despite the word Wednesday being hard to spell most of the time. It was the time of day where Heroics Class finally came after a hard day of learning stuff. The class would be learning stuff in Heroics, but at least it's actually help them later in life, you know, since Class 1A is in the Hero Course, and they're training to be heroes, so knowing how to be heroes would actually be important for them.
"Today you'll be doing rescue training to prepare you for floods, fires, and other disasters." Aizawa spoke up; the class instantly froze in place. No one had even seen him come in! They all quickly settled and sat with perfect posture. "Now, it's up to you to choose whether to wear your costume or not. Some of them may not be suitable for certain scenarios. The location we'll be training at is a bit remote, so we'll be going by bus. That'll be all. Get ready and don't waste time." He gave them a hard stare before grabbing his yellow sleeping bag and leaving the room.
"Rescue training…" Izuku murmured to himself as he grabbed his case. He thought of the many, many times he'd watched All Might's debut video growing up. This was a chance to see if he could really be a Hero capable of working in all fields! His gaze sharpened with determination as he headed for the locker room.
Izuku took a quick shower before getting dressed into his costume. He put his respirator on and checked for anything out of place (nothing) before opening the door and walking outside, where the Ochacosquad was waiting for him, as usual.
"You look super excited." Ochaco giggled as Izuku flipped through the pages of his notebook.
"Oh, um, yeah... I'm pretty excited. Thanks!" Izuku smiled, starting to bounce a little bit.
Soon, the bus arrived. The bus turned out to be an open-seating type, so everyone quickly found their own seats as Momo guided everyone onto the bus, taking her role of Class Representative with pride. Izuku ended up between Katsuki and Ochaco. Behind the three were Tenya, Tsu, and Ashido. And in front of them were Rikido, Denki, and Hitoshi.
"Soooo... Midoriya, if it's ok for me to, can I ask you some questions about your quirk?" Ochaco piped up, starting a conversation.
"Sure, Uraraka!" Izuku beamed. "Ask away."
"Okay, well... What exactly is your limit to your quirk?" Ochaco asked.
"Well, my most powerful quirks are my emitter quirks, because they steal the most power. Since the overall power that I steal is my age times the original user's age. Then there are transformation quirks. Since they're inbetween emitters and mutants, they're also the in-between of power, if that makes sense. When I take a transformation quirk, the overall power is my age times half of the original user's age. Though for mutant types, I just copy them." Izuku explained. "And I can also give my stockpiled quirks to others. If I'm giving the original user's quirk back to them, then the quirk's power is the original, but if I'm giving a person a quirk that's different to their own, then the power level is also transfered."
"So, how many quirks do you have at the moment?" Ochaco asked.
"Well, I have: 12 emitter quirks, eight transformation quirks, and five mutant quirks, which means I have 25 quirks in total." Izuku replied, smiling.
"Is there a limit to how many quirks you can have stockpiled?" Ochaco continued to ask her questions.
"From what Evaluate tells me, my limit of stockpiled quirks is 1000, which is definitely a lot." Izuku giggled. "And my other weaknesses are that I forcefully activate a quirk whenever I steal one or in a mutant type case, copy one. Speaking of mutant types, they're the hardest for me to control, since they require a ton of concentration to activate, since my body isn't fit for some mutant quirks, so my body has to try and adapt immediately. And deactivating them takes concentration as well, since my body has to reverse itself from what it adapted."
"Do you have any other notable weaknesses?" Ochaco asked.
"Well, yeah. I can't use a quirk combination of more than five quirks, as you've seen. And I can't use more than two quirks in a combination, though one day, I'll hopefully be able to use more quirks in a combination." Izuku explained.
A few minutes later, Aizawa piped up.
"We're here. Look sharp now!" Aizawa slipped out of his sleeping bag with practiced ease as he stood up and led them off the bus. A few short minutes saw everyone off the bus and walking into the gigantic dome-shaped building. When they saw what was inside the building, most of the students let out excited exclamations!
"Holy crap! Are we at Universal Studios Japan?!" Denki questioned gleefully, making several others turn and deadpan at him.
"Not quite!" A voice, that seemed like it was being heard through a speaker or old radio, called out to them. Ochako let out a loud gasp as the group turned to face the speaker. "There's the flood zone! The conflagration zone! The landslide zone! Every disaster you can imagine!" The woman speaking wore a very puffy astronaut-styled suit and yellow shoes. Her arms were held wide as if to welcome them all.
"Oh!" Izuku exclaimed, his eyes bright as he recognized the Hero. "It's Space Hero: Thirteen! She's one of the top-rated Rescue Heroes in Japan!"
"I freaking love Thirteen!" Ochaco was bouncing up and down in excitement, her brown eyes sparkling as she looked at the Pro. Izuku was fairly certain he now knew who Ochaco's favorite Hero was!
"Alright, settle down, everyone." Thirteen commanded. "This training ground that I created is the perfect site to put your heroism to the test! I call it… The Unforeseen Simulation Joint!"
"Thirteen, where's All Might? I thought he was supposed to be meeting us here." Aizawa questioned his colleague.
"Well…" Thirteen sighed, before subtly holding up three fingers. "I'm afraid he got caught up in quite a few incidents on his way to the school this morning. He's exhausted himself. He's resting in the break room right now, though he did call to tell me he would try to make it to the latter half of the class."
"That man is the height of irrationality. At this point he should just move onto the campus already and be done with it." Aizawa sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Well, no point in wasting time, we'll start without him."
"Of course. But before that, I have one or two points." Thirteen said, before pausing. "Or three… maybe four…" Her voice started sounding a bit sheepish as she continued. "Perhaps five… or six?" The entire class deadpanned and sweat dropped. "Well, as I'm sure many of you are aware; my Quirk is called 'Black Hole'. It draws in and breaks down everything." Ochaco was excitedly nodding along with their instructor, her eyes still sparkles. Izuku couldn't help but find her actions adorable. She was so cute!
"Yeah! You've used it to save countless numbers of people in almost every disaster imaginable! You break down debris and free trapped civilians and even clear roadways for medical vehicles, police, firefighters, and everything!" Ochaco did her best Izuku impression without even meaning to. She was just so excited!
"That's right! Indeed, my power is capable of saving many lives! But it would also be incredibly, frustratingly easy to use it to kill." That put a damper on the excited mood of the students, bringing down the intensity so they were all paying attention. "Just as I'm sure it would be uncomfortably easy for some of your own Quirks to take a life. In our super powered society, the usage of Quirks is heavily restricted and monitored. It may seem like a stable system, but never forget that it only takes one wrong move with an uncontrollable Quirk for people to die." Thirteen warned the Hero students. "During Eraserhead's Assessment Test, you were able to touch upon the true power of your Quirks. With All Might's person-to-person Hero Scenarios, you experienced the danger of using your Quirks against other people! Today will be a different story! Today you shall learn how your powers can be used, not in combat, but how they can be used to save lives instead!"
The Space Hero had her arms spread wide, as if to indicate the whole of the USJ behind her.
Before Thirteen could continue, the lights all over the dome began to flicker strangely. Everyone looked around in confusion at the odd phenomenon. Denki, who's quirk involved electricity, blinked and tilted his head. He recognised the signs of fluctuating electrical output after all.
"What's going on?" Aizawa questioned as he took charge, his students were his first priority in the event anything unplanned happened.
"Something's gone wrong with the power?" Thirteen sounded confused as she looked up at the flickering lights. It was his experience that drew Aizawa's attention to the small distortion forming down in the plaza. The Underground Hero glared at the anomaly as he reached into his scarves to pull up his goggles.
Ever so suddenly, a person made of purple fog with two glowing eyes appeared out of nowhere, and several villains stepped out. One of them was the guy who needed Chapstick in the previous chapter, but this time, he has SEVERED HANDS all around himself. How disturbing.
"This isn't part of the class, is it?" Ejiro questioned as everyone was looking at the large group coming from the smoke-like portal.
"No." Aizawa stated flatly, his tone dead serious. "Those are Villains."
"Thirteen, aren't there intruder sensors here?" Momo asked the Pro.
"Of course, there are! But they're not activating! I'm even using the manual override!" Thirteen revealed the small device in her hand. It was a control for the USJ's systems. The touchscreen was filled with a single large message that said, "Error. 403. System Has Timed Out. Enjoy The Chaos".
"Kaminari, try to reach the school with your personal communicator." Aizawa instructed.
"Yes sir!" Denki nodded as he tapped the device on his ear. "OW, damn it!" The blonde cried out a second later as he practically tore the communicator off his ear. Even from a distance everyone could hear the horribly loud shrieking of feedback interference coming from the device. "They've jammed the frequencies!" He called out as he held his ringing ear.
"I doubt they snuck into the main campus as well. They picked the perfect time to attack here, with the fewest Pros and multiple targets. They clearly have an objective and have brought in Quirks to reach that objective; which includes someone capable of jamming outgoing signals." Katsuki pointed out.
"Then, why come here at all? What are they trying to achieve? If they want to capture heroes they should go after the UA faculty alone!" Mina shouted out.
The large, swirling smoke-like portal closed after a large, monstrosity, of a creature emerged and stood behind the man covered in severed hands. Izuku would have tried to count how many Villains there were, but he was dealing with something he'd never dealt with before. The large creature was grating against his Quirk's sensing ability. It came off as a Mutant Type, but it wasn't just one… That shouldn't be possible in most normal circumstances!
"That big one, the monster-looking thing, it has multiple Quirks! Mutant Types, I just don't know what they are!" Izuku exclaimed. Aizawa's eyebrows rose at the information given to him by Problem Child #2.
"What do you mean?" Aizawa questioned as the class was quickly gathering between the two Pros. Multiple Quirks were an incredible rarity; most people that appeared to have two Quirks often had a hybrid of their parents with abilities from both, Todoroki was a perfect example. To actually have two completely separate Quirks was something like one in a hundred-million odds.
"I don't understand it; I've never sensed things like this before." Izuku shook his head and wiped the sweat from his brow. "The suit-wearing guy, the one that created the fog, gate, or whatever; he has two Quirks! One Mutant the other Emitter, but it's not right!"
"Not right, how?" Aizawa needed clarification. Midoriya was obviously dealing with something he'd never encountered and it was making the teen lose focus.
"His Emitter Quirk, it's one Quirk, but not really? I…I don't know how to explain it! Three quirks least, how, I don't understand… It's like someone forced three different Quirks together and made them one Quirk!" Izuku was holding his head at this point. This didn't make sense!
Something wasn't right, but there was no way of telling exactly what it was. His thoughts were starting to get a little chaotic as he was overwhelmed by the feeling.
"Huh, this is strange." The man spoke with a raspy voice. "The schedule we stole said All Might, Thirteen, Eraserhead, and Class 1-A would be here. So where's All Might?" He questioned, scratching at his neck, his red-eyes staring at everyone up on the platform with nothing but disgust.
All of Class 1-A felt a tremor go up their spines at the look. It was, to put it simply, inhuman.
"Whatever! Midoriya's here, so let's just grab the kid and go!" One of the villains snarled.
"Thirteen, get the students out of here!" Aizawa ordered as he pulled on his goggles and leapt down the stairs towards the large group of Villains. With his Capture Scarves in hand he picked out his first targets.
Thirteen was corralling the students and urging them towards the exit but that option was quickly cut off when the security shutters around the USJ began to slam closed. The humanoid fog Villain appeared in front of them. Izuku's Evaluate quirk was still trying to puzzle out what the hell was going on with this guy. His head had never hurt like this from any of his analysis'.
"Good afternoon, Hero Students." Several of the class dropped into fighting stances in front of the Villain as Thirteen quickly placed herself between the Villain and the students. "We are the League of Villains. I hope you'll forgive our audacity, but we are here today with a declaration of war." His courteous tone did nothing to hide the outright lack of care he had for their lives. It made a few of the students of Class 1-A shiver in fear. "To that end, we have come to this bastion of Heroism to kill the Symbol of Peace along with kidnap the One With All user, or as you all know him as: Izuku Midoriya." The Villain explained as though he was discussing plans of action rather than a simple declaration of war.
There was silence for a moment as the Class watched on with wide and fearful eyes. The air was getting thicker, and every student could feel it pressing against them. The tension and danger thick enough to almost choke on.
Izuku was too panicked to think, all he knew to think was, "Oh shitty shit shit shit shit shit! Fuckity fuck fuck!"
So without thinking, Izuku used a transformative combination of quirks.
Gunpoint + Jelly Surprise + Rock Plates!
Izuku accurately shot Jelly Surprise at Shigaraki, while also protecting himself with his rock plates.
"Oh, you're totally going to regret that one! Kurogiri, you know what to do." The villainous man ordered the fog guy.
Before Kurogiri could follow his leader's command, Thirteen used her quirk on the blocked entrance.
"Iida, go alert the other teachers about this! You're the fastest of us, so don't screw up and go get reinforcements!" Thirteen ordered Tenya.
"Will do!" Tenya saluted, running to do the thing he needed to do.
"No!" The humanoid fog yelled before his tactic suddenly changed and Thirteen saw a spiraling warp gate appear directly in front of her. She was going to suck it into her Quirk as well, until she felt a powerful pull on the back of her own costume. With a painful cry she deactivated her Quirk just as her suit was torn away and broken down into the warp gate behind her. The Villain had turned her own Quirk against her! She could feel her back, partially shredded by her own Quirk, and then her vision went fuzzy and she got a light-headed sensation as she collapsed to the floor.
"Thirteen!" Ochaco screamed loudly as they all watched the Pro Hero hit the ground.
"Now begone!" The Villain outright roared as his Quirk washed over the group like a tidal wave.
"This isn't good! This isn't good! This isn't good! This isn't good! This isn't good! This isn't good! This isn't good!" Izuku muttered, starting to hyperventilate, bringing back traumatic memories of his past. "Please just stop! Just stop! No! Stop! No! Stop! Stop! Please just stop! Please!"
"Midoriya…" Eijiro called softly as he slowly approached his friend, gently placing a hand on Izuku's shaking shoulder. The greenette didn't seem to notice or care at first. The only noise he made was heavy breathing that sounded like he was choking.
"Oh... Oh shit..." Katsuki soon realised something. Izuku was going through a PTSD episode.
But then, another shitty thing was happening... Everyone was being warped off to completely different zones! This was surely going to be a fun ride.
Holy shit! The League of Villains are going full circle in their plans to kill All Might and kidnap Izuku! And looks like Izuku has tapped into some of his old memories! And Tenya is getting help. Good for him. Also, finally a chapter that's more than 2,000 words! After so freaking long!
And to respond to the reviews: to Death Fury, I'm glad that you're enjoying this fic and I hope you stay with us on the ride!
Now something else that I'd like to say is thank you to whoever is reading this as I've noticed that this story is getting really really well-liked, or at least in my own fanfiction standards. So thank you to anyone who as taken time out of their day to read this. I hope that one day this fanfiction will maybe one day get it's own TV Tropes page under the My Hero Academia Fan Works!
Now remember... Go beyond... Plus Ultra!
