"The number you have dialed is not in service, or has been temporarily disconnected. Please check the number, and try again. Thank you," The phone line's message repeated, leaving Toshinori to sigh in frustration.
"Can't get through to Thirteen or Aizawa. Then again, they are teaching. Unlike me. I'm neglecting my duties because I spent the entire morning commute being heroic. An amateur move. What was I thinking?"
"Maybe I should just show up and say something inspiring at the end. Yeah, get a good ten minutes out of my hero form."
Toshinori's muscles burst with strength, stomping his foot down as he transformed.
"TIME TO JOIN MY STUDENTS- GKK!" His enthusiasm was cut short when he choked on his own blood.
"Hold your horses!" A familiar peppy and proper voice called as the door slid open.
The Hero inwardly gasped once he recognized who spoke to him, "Hello, Nezu, Sir!"
"That's me! The one who could be a mouse, or a dog, or a bear, or a life fiber being, though the only important thing is... ~I'm the principal~!"
"Your fur looks especially well groomed and glossy today, sir."
"The secret is keratin. I'm not sure the humans can get this kind of lustrous shine. But we can talk about grooming later," Nezu spoke as he reached into his pocket and showed off his phone to All Might.
The screen showed multiple articles that captured many of the heroic deeds that he had fulfilled over the course of the entire morning. "Look at the news! Shall I read them to you?"
All Might tensed up upon hearing this, expecting a lecture from the Principal.
"The fault mainly belongs to the ruffians who still cause trouble in this city despite you being here. But you also have to learn to not react every time you hear an incident."
Nezu sighed, "Your proactivity hasn't changed in all these years. Only now, your heroism must be limited due to your injury."
"Plus you've got the added work of training One for All's successor. Oh dear, you're smoking. That can't be good."
All Might was smoking up like a chimney before poofing into Small Might. A still visibly tired Toshinori was present once the smoke cleared up.
"It looks like you need to stay here in the lounge a little while longer. The other teachers will understand. They're more than capable."
"Now that I have you here, I believe you're one of the last people who I've yet to talk to in regard to Ryuko Matoi," Nezu said.
All Might perked up, not expecting the principal to divert away from a lecture.
"Oh yeah, Young Matoi. She's got some potential, though she definitely was a bit reckless out there," All Might recalled from the Battle Trials how she stepped up to the plate in two matches.
"Did you know she knew Izuku Midoriya when they were children?" Nezu inquired.
"No! No, I didn't! This is news to me. And I've been meaning to ask why there was an extra student in the hero course compared to normal. She got in on a recommendation according to the records, but that was issued just recently."
"She's a transfer student from Honnōji Academy, but there's more to the story than that."
Nezu then explained what he knew of Ryuko's history, catching All Might up to speed.
"So, she really is quirkless. You'd never think that'd be the case with the way she fights. But back to the point of her knowing Young Midoriya. Is there a reason you brought that up?" All Might straightened up.
"She lived on school grounds the first few days. But when a unit in the same building as Midoriya lives in opened up, she asked to stay there once she'd exercised the option to remain a UA student instead of returning to Honnōji," Nezu explained.
"That's great and all, but…"
"But you're concerned, given how close those two are and their living proximity, that the secret that so few know about may have another thread added to it?"
"Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. I might try to talk to Midoriya when I get the chance about One For All to make sure he remembers how serious it is to be kept away from others. We know how dangerous it is for anyone who knows the secret."
"Yes, very. But do try to make her feel welcome around here. She's had a very hard life and it seems she's experiencing far more joy and support than anywhere else she's been."
"It's good to hear that UA still fulfills the purpose of lifting up the students' spirits," Toshinori smiled.
'So Young Midoriya has a friend? That's good to know. From what I remember, he didn't have much company before getting into UA. And Young Matoi shows a great amount of care for him. I can rest easy knowing that his social life is intact.'
'Still, I'm a little concerned about not getting in touch with Thirteen or Aizawa. I hope they're doing okay," Yagi processed as he drank tea with Nezu.
…
-USJ Facility Front Gate-
Shoji's multi-arms produced extra eyes and ears in order to scout out where the rest of 1A's classmates were. After they were teleported, any knowledge of their location and well being were viable in this crisis.
"Shoji. Got them? Anything? Where is everyone?" Iida asked.
"They've been scattered across the facility. But our classmates are still here," Shoji confirmed, which prompted a relaxed sigh out of the nearby students.
"What do we do? The guy's not affected by physical attacks and can apparently teleport stuff," Sero acknowledged.
Thirteen pondered for a moment, trying to find a viable strategy.
"Class rep."
"Yes?"
"I have a job for you. Run to the school and tell the faculty what's going on here. Even with Eraser Head cancelling quirks left and right, it'll be impossible to find the one that's responsible for jamming everything. It'll be faster for you to run and get help than for us to find the perpetrator."
"Yes, but- It would be disgraceful for me to leave you all behind-"
"Go, emergency exit. There are lots of alarms outside. That's why they're keeping all of us trapped inside the USJ, right?"
"As long as you can get outside, they won't follow. Blow this bastard mist away with those engine legs!"
Both Sato and Sero stood their ground, preparing to take on the purple villain for Iida.
"Use your quirk to save others. Be a real hero!" Thirteen encouraged.
"I can help you out! Just like I did when I floated you in the cafeteria! Please Class rep! Do it!" Uraraka exclaimed to Iida, who held scepticism to the objective.
"We're out of time and out of options! It's do or die now, emergency exit!" Sero yells to Iida, hoping it would shake out some of the nerves.
Iida stood and pondered. He felt his duty as Class Rep to stay and protect his fellow classmates. He didn't want to just leave them behind. But he knew that doing this would ensure everyone's safety, and possibly victory. Iida stood in a running stance as his engines shot out, preparing for take off.
"Even if this is your only option, are you really foolish enough to strategize in front of your enemy?!" The purple mist villain launched its tendrils towards everyone.
"It won't matter if you know what we're planning or not when I'm done with you!" Thirteen's finger opened up and began vacuuming the incoming attack.
"BLACK HOLE!"
…
-Landslide Zone-
"Listen well. If you stay frozen, your cells will slowly die as your body succumbs to frostbite and hypothermia," Todoroki informed the many low-level thugs that he had frozen rather easily. Their faces expressed visible worry, knowing where their fate lied.
"Luckily for you, I wanna be a hero. So I'd like to avoid any unnecessary cruelty."
Shoto approached a villain that began to quiver as he got closer. He raised his hand as it began to emit a small fog of ice. The Half n' Half hero brought it to the thug's face, which shot more fear into him as tears began to well in his eyes.
"But I can only do that if you tell me how you plan to kill All Might. That's the only way you'll survive."
…
-Mountain Zone-
"I'M GONNA DIE!" Kamanari cried out as he ducks under an attack from a villain.
While Kaminari flees from impending danger, Yaoyorozu and Jirou held their ground against the thugs. They wielded a sword and a staff that Momo had created in order to defend themselves, though they left Kaminari out of that equation, leading him to be a screaming mess.
"Would-"
"Will you please focus?! We need to put our attention on getting away from these enemies!" Yaoyorozu shouted, cutting off Jirou at the same time.
"Then pull out a weapon for me too!" Kaminari called out, which would only further irritate Momo.
"Don't you have electrical powers? Use them!"
"He can't! He doesn't have control of where it goes. It'll end up taking us down too. Don't you remember?" Kyouka interjected.
"I can try to go at it with a lower voltage, but it'd still hurt!" Denki added.
"You'd better figure something out then! You did win the Battle Trial!" Yaoyorozu barked back, but started to question herself. It was a rather strange thing to bring up. Why did she say that?
"What does that have to do with- Ah!"
"New plan, you're gonna be our new stun gun!"
Jirou laid her boot directly into Kaminari's back, sending him to stumble towards a nearby thug.
"Hey! What's the big idea?!" The blonde's stress levels were on high alert. Without means of defending himself, he couldn't quite think things through. Once he plunged into a villain's torso, his panicked state caused him to surge his electricity out of instinct. The thug screamed in pain as he was being tazed.
"Whoa. Hey, this is working! I'm super strong! Sit back you two. You can count on me!" Kaminari announced with a thumbs up.
Unfortunately his new strategy wasn't completely fool-proof, as Jirou heard the approaching villain.
"Try electrocuting solid rock, kid!" A thug shouted as a Boulder made its way for Kaminari, an elongated arm being the source that swung the object.
Jirou plugged her jack into her amplifier to send sound waves to the concrete ball, the vibrations shattering it into pieces. The thug's arm was now off-course, his fist slammed into Kaminari's face and caused the electricity to travel through him. A chain reaction of villains was in effect as they were now at the mercy of the blonde's shock.
Another villain with dual knives leaped into action, this time targeting Jirou. Yaoyorozu swiftly created a human sized net and tossed it, catching the thug by surprise. His trajectory was now thrown off, which resulted in him joining the count of victims in Kaminari's shock treatment.
"You're lucky that worked out so well," Yaoyorozu commented.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Next time I'll ask before saving our butts," Jirou snarked. The amount of sarcasm in her voice for some reason really put Momo off. The creation quirk user scoffed as her patience seemed to be running thin.
"You really should ask for some kind of aiming gear once this is over, Kaminari!" Jirou shouted before a thug jumped from the cliff above, attempting to get the jump on her. She dodges the blades of the villain before Momo jumped to her aid.
She let out a very aggressive grunt as she swung her staff, bludgeoning the thug right over the head. The villain let out a very discomforting sound of pain as they were rendered unconscious. She stuck her foot down onto the thug's back and pointed the brunt end of her staff toward the head.
"STAY DOWN!" Yaoyorozu snapped.
"Damn! That may have been overboard, don't you think?" Kyouka asked as she took a look at the incapacitated villain.
Momo ignored Jirou's acknowledgement and kneeled down, "It's ready! It takes me a little longer to create an object this big!"
The cloth on her back began to bulge outward to the point of tearing. A glowing light began to surface from within, shining out of the rips. The light finally burst, a giant blanket surfacing from Yaoyorozu's back that was widespread enough to cover both her and Jirou.
"A blanket?"
"Is that supposed to be a shield or something?"
The nearby villains questioned.
"You're looking at a sheet of insulation 100 millimeters thick. Go for it, Kaminari," Momo said confidently.
"Heh, badass."
The sparky blonde turned his attention to the surrounding villains before raising his hands up high.
"Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends! YOU GUYS ARE FRIED!" Kaminari soon launched his lightning into the ground below, spreading it everywhere. Crackles of lightning and the screams of the villains can be heard from across the mountain. Bright flashes of yellow were engulfing the entire zone, creating a light show for the nearby ones.
Kaminari's bolts had finally subsided, his power finally gave out. And so did his brain.
While the battlefield smelled like electrocuted villain scumbag souffle, Momo and Jirou peaked at the scene from underneath the insulation sheet. It was a success, though with one minor complication.
"Now then, I'm worried about the rest of the class. We should find them right away," Yaoyorozu stated, with Jirou a little unnerved at the sight of Momo's exposed chest.
"You're looking a little overexposed right now!" Jirou noted, catching Yaoyorozu's attention.
The girl with the large bang turned back to look at Jirou, a soft smile forming.
"Huh? I can make some new clothes."
"Yaoyorozu is so punk rock," Jirou thought. Maybe she wasn't a full-on know it all.
The earphone jack girl's heart suddenly stopped as she moved to cover the creation girl up from the one person who definitely shouldn't be looking.
"Kaminari! Don't you dare look!"
While she was shielded by Jirou from the peeping eyes of Denki, Yaoyorozu stared at Kaminari, being quite befuddled at what was happening in front of her. The blonde was pacing around slowly and aimlessly, practically walking in circles. Strange mumbling and bumbling could be heard coming out of his mouth as he continuously shuffled his arms back and forth with his thumbs up. On top of that, he sported a very dumbstruck look on his face.
Momo and Kyouka soon realized that Kaminari... had a literal brain fart.
"Kaminari really is powerful. Though if he'd pulled this stunt off during the battle trial, I don't want to imagine the damage everyone else would have took," Jirou processed the scene in front of her. It was a lot harder to do with Kaminari suddenly turned into a blubbering idiot due to the max discharge as she tried to stifle a few laughs.
"Yeah, no kidding," Yaoyorozu added. Though she appeared to be bothered by something.
'I'm still not sure why I was so harsh to both of them earlier. And how I overdid things with the one villain… I've never been a spiteful or vengeful person, but I can't figure out why I can't let go of all this tension. Maybe it's because we're being attacked by villains?'
The inner turmoil she felt didn't sit well with the recommended UA hero student. It left an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
…
Midoriya, Asui, and Mineta had just escaped the dangerous endeavors of the water-based villains. They swam their way back to the courtyard that would lead towards the entrance, though slowly so that they wouldn't get spotted by other villains.
"Remember Midoriya, we're just here to see how things are going, right?" A frightened Mineta asked.
"Yeah, I know. We'll get out of here the second it seems dangerous. Hopefully it hasn't come to that," Midoriya responded.
Ryuko and Eraser Head had been holding their own, reducing the burden of stress on one another to a significant degree by working together. Now, only a handful of thugs stood in their way.
"Just a few more knuckleheads left and we're done here," Ryuko said, panting slightly. While the toll of staying in Sync Mode was a lot greater against a larger group, it wasn't as draining as the other day.
"You need to keep your guard up though. There's that hand guy who hasn't yet jumped into the fray. The same goes for the hulking monster," Senketsu pointed out.
"Stay sharp Matoi!" Aizawa grabbed Ryuko's attention after knocking out the last of deplorables. The hand-decorated villain, Tomura Shigaraki, finally decided to make his move.
"I've finally started to pick up a pattern from you, Eraser Head. Let's see if I'm right."
Aizawa tossed his binding cloth to ensnare the villain, but Shigaraki just grabbed it and held on as he continued his frontal assault. The large creature behind him remained still, not moving a single muscle.
"Why don't we send you packing like the rest of the damn rats around here!" Ryuko sneered, slashing her blade at Shigaraki.
The pastel-blue haired villain picked up on the path of the cut and hop-schotched back a few paces, landing as gracefully as a cat.
"Matoi, get out of here. Now!" Aizawa called out. "He's way more dangerous than the others we've fought. You're done here."
"Hold on! Are you-"
"You agreed that if I told you to run, you'd do so. My priority is protecting the students and thanks to your assistance, the burden I've had to deal with isn't that bad."
"But…" The Kamui wielder trailed off. She agreed to his compromise earlier, even though she knew she'd likely be disciplined later. But doing so again would be worse, especially if she were caught.
"Go and assist Thirteen. If there's any way we can get extra help up there, the faster we might be able to get out a message for backup," Aizawa stated.
"Okay. I'll do it. Though you better beat this guy to a pulp."
Matoi took a few steps back before turning tail. Aizawa smirked a little now that he was all alone. "Now, time to get to the final boss."
The pro soon turned his attention to the shaggy male in front of him.
"How touching. Do you still think you can take me on by yourself?" Shigarkai asked, his gravelly voice sounding like a visible itch. He braced himself before charging forward, now taking Aizawa head on.
Aizawa lept a short distance into the air and tossed another line of his binds to change up his attacks and catch Shigaraki by surprise. Thanks to his scrawny-like physique, the young deviant remained nimble and avoided the bind in swift movements. The erasure hero wondered why he went up against him outright. Clearly it was a strategy on the villain's end. He had to keep his distance from the shag-haired villain and hopefully ensnare him with his cloth.
Shota would begin using his binds to whip at Shigaraki, using his ranged weaponry to his advantage, which posed to greatly inconvenience the other's close ranged combat style. With the erasure hero being faster than him, the shaggy male could not close the gap between himself and the other. He was being forced to continuously dodge while being pushed back further.
It was now a test of who can maintain their stamina the longest, and who would soon fall after.
Izuku, Tsuyu, and Minoru watched the fight as it ensued. A hopeful grin remained on their faces as it seemed that their teacher was able to hold his own. Midoriya was especially grateful to see that Ryuko got away safely and headed to reunite with the rest of their classmates.
'Already got a strategy to keep me away? You're so cool, Eraser Head. But veryannoying," Shigarki snapped his fingers, which triggered a violent jerk of movement within the large creature before it sprung. Aizawa felt a sharp gust of wind blow near him, and suddenly the beast was right behind him. He barely managed to keep his eyes on the thing.
"Meet Nomu."
Aizawa's hair flared up before the monster swung a large right hook, which he just narrowingly dodged. Not getting a moment to breathe, the creature followed up on its swing with a shoulder charge right into him.
Being hit with the force of a literal bullet train, Aizawa was thrown off balance 50 meters in the air. Due to not having anything to swing off of, the hero landed into the concrete hard.
Aizawa's body greatly tensed up, groaning from the pain that stung throughout both of his arms.
'I'm sure I erased his quirk before he attacked. Which means that he must be a musclehead like All Might. Damn it."
The attack from the Nomu definitely fractured his bones, along with the harsh landing. But it was better than his arms being broken.
Before regaining his second wind, Aizawa noticed Shigaraki making his attack once again.
'First it was 23 seconds,' Shigarki began to recount in his head.
Having no option to dodge, he was forced to counter-attack. Using his cloth, Aizawa ensnared one of the villain's hands and pulled at an angle that would direct the aim away from making contact with him.
'Then it was 24 seconds.'
Shota swung his arm forward, striking Shigaraki with his elbow. A moment of brief silence engulfed the courtyard.
'And then 20. Then 17.'
"It was hard to see when you two were jumping around, but I've found your tell. It's your hair," Shigaraki noted, as Aizawa's quirk was temporarily disabled from blinking.
In that moment, his elbow started to disintegrate slowly, the bones and skin cracking to show the muscles beneath. Aizawa's agonized grunts became louder, having been slammed a few too many times and dealing with so many fractured and broken bones.
"When it drops, it means you've stopped using your quirk. You're having to blink more often. Don't push yourself too hard, now."
Shigaraki's eyes widened into a manic stare that pierced Aizawa's being.
"You might just fall apart."
Shota threw a right hook at The Pastel-Blue villain's chest to knock him off his feet. He jumped away to regain some distance before realizing that he lost all movement in his damaged arm.
'He destroyed my elbow!' Aizawa remarked to himself before a small group of thugs rushed him. Just barely being able to dodge, he was able to avoid anymore damage being dealt on him. But he was now cornered as the thugs surrounded him.
"That annoying quirk of yours isn't suited for drawn-out fights against big groups, is it? Don't you think you're out of your element here, Eraser Head?" Shigaraki mocked as he regained his footing.
Aizawa's breathing became more labored and his chest heaved, practically fighting to get more air into his lungs. Many drops of sweat slid down his face. He was getting exhausted. Shigaraki was starting to get on his nerves, but there was some merit to his point. And Aizawa hated that.
"But despite knowing that, you didn't hesitate to jump into the middle of this fight. To put your students at ease. Even letting one who wants to help you run off to safety."
Aizawa was soon jumped again by the thugs, but managed to dodge while also capturing one of them in his cloth. As a villain swung his blunt weapon, Shota used his cloth to pull the subdued villain around and use him as a shield.
The weapon struck the thug hard, knocking the wind out of him. Having just struck his teammate, the other villain attempted to rechamber before Aizawa landed a punch to his face. Two down. He soon followed up with a reverse roundhouse kick to the last villain that attempted to catch him by surprise, knocking him out cold. Three down.
"And look at you, you're still standing! You really are so cool!" Shigaraki praised Aizawa in his newfound respect for him. The Erasure Hero was clearly exhausted; Fractured arms, a destroyed elbow, and low stamina. There didn't seem to be much hope for him, but he continued to fight.
"Oh, by the way, hero. I'm sure you know this already."
A lumbering step boomed behind Aizawa, revealing Nomu once again. He didn't even hear the creature until it was right behind him.
"I'm not the final boss."
One second later, blood sprayed across the ground as Aizawa's headpiece flew through the air.
Izuku attempted to gasp, but nothing came out. His body froze up in distress as he could only stand and watch his teacher being brutalized. The sounds of flesh being ruptured and crushed rung in his ears, Aizawa's cries of pain echoed deeper in the canals.
"N-no… Mr. Aizawa…" Izuku whimpered, fear completely shooting through him.
…
-USJ Facility Front Gate-
Ryuko ran up the steps as fast as she could. Why did Mr. Aizawa have to send her away right when the fun really would have kicked into high gear?
"Just focus on assisting the others up ahead, Ryuko!" Senketsu said.
"Yeah, I know! Geez, it's like you were reading my mind," Ryuko barked back.
"Unfortunately, that's not something I'm capable of," he commented as Ryuko finally reached the top of the stairs and saw the scene unfolding in front of her.
The students looked on in awe as their instructor held down the smoke villain with her Quirk.
Uraraka turned around and saw Ryuko catching her breath.
"You made it back!" Uraraka called out.
"Yeah. And it looks like Thirteen is about to dust this asshole," Ryuko added, flashing a thumbs up to her other classmates who took notice that she'd made it back in one piece.
"Rescue Hero Thirteen, your quirk works well with clearing debris in a wide scope to handle search and rescue efforts. But with that said, you're a rescue hero, meaning you have probably little to no combat experience."
The warp villain said this as a portal slowly started to form behind the pro hero, who had no idea what was about to happen.
"Which will bode very well in my favor."
The portal fully opened behind Thirteen as the wind and whiplash from her quirk were turned against her. The villain known as Kurogiri had suddenly turned the tables on her and she was now the victim of her own attack!
"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHH!" Thirteen yelled in pain as her suit was being sucked up from her quirk. The hero being undone by her own move. The force of the vacuum was too strong. Thirteen's mind raced wildly as the pain was absolutely devastating. She couldn't react in time to stop her quirk before the damage was already being done.
The student's watch in horror as their teacher's suit is ripped to shreds in full display.
"I'm sorry. He got me."
"NO! THIRTEEN!" Ashido screamed in horror, fearing for the wellbeing of her teacher.
Ryuko could only gasp and stand there, completely terrified at how quickly the tides could turn in a fight. She knew that all too well, but to see a hero being forced into a position of mercy still shook her to her very core.
"Now that she's out of the equation, I think it's time to dispose of you children," Kurogiri said as he turned his attention to the stunned students.
"Iida! Get outta here! Now!" Sato shouted.
Iida had a million things processing in his mind right now, being practically in fight or flight mode. But he focused his senses, remembering what his priority was. The Class Rep's engines began to burn hot, preparing for launch.
"ENGIIIIINE!" Iida roared as he went in a full sprint, his engines firing up behind him. He sprinted past Kurogiri and made his way to the entrance door.
"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves," Kurogiri sneered as he immediately sprung into action.
"I simply cannot allow that."
A portal that showed a black void appeared right in front of Iida in an attempt to cut him off. He tried to fully brake in his tracks to avoid the portal, but began to slide across the floor. His speed was too great to fully stop. He was getting closer and closer to the void in front of him.
'This responsibility...was entrusted to me! Classmates, I'll keep you safe!'
Just as Iida was about to get swallowed up by the portal, Shoji jumped into the fray and wrapped his large webbed arms around the villain. He trapped it in his grasp and directed it away from the Class Rep.
"Run! I've got him!" Shoji pressed, to which Iida immediately acknowledged and began to run again.
"YOU IMPERTINENT CHILD! YOU WON'T SET FOOT OUTSIDE THOSE DOORS! " Kurogiri howled as he extended his mist-like figure to lunge at Iida once more.
With his back turned, the villain left a window of opportunity as Uraraka gasped. Now Iida was going to be chased down!
But something caught her eye the moment she turned her head. She noticed metal plating that wrapped around the mist, ever so slightly obscured.
'I'm close! But what if it's locked? Will I be able to pry it open in time?!' Iida wondered as the shadow of the villain caught up, looming over him with his menacing presence.
"BE GONE!" Kurogiri bellowed as he began to engulf Iida in the purple mist, preparing to finally warp him and stop his plan.
"HEY, GENEVA VIOLATION!"
Kurogiri looks back to find who tried speaking to him, only to be slammed down to the ground through his metal brace. The origin of the comment: a very annoyed and very pissed Ryuko Matoi.
"Seriously, you villains have a horrible habit of leaving your back unguarded. For God's sake, you're adults! Get with the fucking program!"
With the villain distracted, Iida finally made it to the front of the USJ door. Kurogiri tries to engulf the runaway student, only to be interrupted by another distraction.
"URARAKA! NOW!" Ryuko beckoned, moving to give Uraraka room to use her quirk.
"NOW! RUN, IIDA!" Uraraka called out as she lifted her arms to throw the villain upward.
Kurogiri began to float, with Sero moving toward the villain to use his quirk to stick tape to his neck brace. Sato, seeing an opportunity for some payback, rushes towards Sero's tape and tosses the bound villain away from the young speedster.
Iida pried the doors open, finally making his escape to the outside.
"ENGINE BOOST!" Iida's engines went into full gear, his speed reaching rocket speed. He ran as fast as he could, dead set on heading back to UA. Help was on the way.
With Iida now home free, Ryuko turned her attention back toward Aizawa. Her heart sank as she couldn't move. All she could do was gawk at the predicament her homeroom teacher found himself in.
…
Aizawa's muscles ached; Five hundred pounds of pure muscle sunk on his back. The Nomu held him down in place. Even with the odds literally stacked on top of him, he had to get up. Protecting the students was the top priority.
The Nomu recognized this and began to twist the hero's already damaged arm. This only increased the spams he felt throughout his body as his muscles were being torn, as well as the bones contorting and violently bending. Aizawa grunted in a restrained tone, trying to bare the struggle.
All of the agonizing strain continued to build and build, hitting just at the peak of his nerves before his arm finally completely snapped, shooting all of the pain out all at once.
"AAGHHH!" Aizawa screamed out in distress, suffering as he could just barely feel something warm and sticky dripping down his now limp arm. The crimson color leaked down onto the floor, further adding more to the puddle.
"Your quirk erasing powers sure are irritating, but it's nothing impressive. When faced with true, devastating power, you might as well be a quirkless child," The words clawed its way out of Shigaraki's mouth as he ridiculed Aizawa.
Izuku's fists clenched when he heard those words. He didn't know why, but hearing someone talking about the quirkless like that really struck a nerve with him.
Having already known that his quirk was useless against this monster, Aizawa kept himself at bay. Anymore resistance from him would result in another broken arm. Unfortunately, that did not stop the Nomu from continuously torturing him.
The creature's large hand wrapped itself around the back of Shota's head, making sure not to crush his skull in the process. It began to pull back, forcing Aizawa's spine to start bending backwards. He was being wound up like a toy before the Nomu sent him down, slamming his face into the concrete.
'Shit...Shit...Shit…!" Ryuko still remained frozen, unable to move as she continued to watch her teacher get tortured. Her mind was screaming for her to save him, but her body wouldn't move. Why…? I have to help him… But why can't I move…?'
Ryuko started questioning herself, unsure why she couldn't take action now, of all times. Clearly she had no trouble dealing with the odds against her, and she had surely seen a lot of blood in her life. What stopped her in a cold sweat?
Back then, even at Honnōji Academy, people were more likely to die in a glorious fashion. Adrenaline ran through Ryuko's veins everytime she faced death against the likes of Satsuki Kiryuin. But now, her gears stopped cold, as she watched the brutality that took place between heroes and villains.
Out here, people could die anytime. They wouldn't get a large-scale one-on-one battle like at Honnōji.
"Ryuko? Ryuko? What's wrong?" Senketsu pressed. He could feel Ryuko's pulse quickening, her chest and windpipe closing up. She wasn't breathing properly.
"I-I…" Ryuko muttered, unable to get the words out. This was the first time she had experienced being consumed by fear itself, rendering her helpless.
…
"Tomura Shigaraki."
Purple smoke built up beside Shigaraki as Kurogiri returned to his boss, while looming over the downed Aizawa.
"Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen?" Shigiraki asked.
"Sadly no, the rescue hero managed to keep me occupied long enough for one of the students to escape. Though, I managed to incapacitate Thirteen in the process."
Shigiraki however was not pleased to hear that not only a student escaped, but his right hand failed to kill the hero he was assigned to distract. He raised his hand up to his neck as he began to pant and grunt. The sounds itching its way out in a more manic state, signifying his frustration.
"Kurogiri… You damn fool… honestly, if you weren't our escape plan, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body," The Pastel-Blue villain wheezed out as his irate scratching on his neck stopped.
"Oh well, I guess it's game over. Back to the title screen. Any minute now, this place will be swarmed with pro's so there's no point in staying. And I was so looking forward to finishing this today. Let's go home." The decay villain said, sounding somewhat dejected.
"Huh? Did I hear that right? Did they say they were gonna leave?" Mineta asked with a sense of hope, but Izuku and Tsuyu still kept their suspicions.
'All Might's probably coming. Don't they want to kill him? Surely they know that UA will beef up their security after this. This is their best chance. What's going on here? Why is this "game over?," huh?'
Izuku was befuddled by the Villains' way of thinking. It was strange that they'd come all the way out here after so much time and preparation, only to then turn tail and run at the first inconvenience. It just seemed like an absolute waste of time.
"Oh, before we leave, let's kill some kids and break the Symbol of Peace. Maybe that'll wreck that bastard's pride."
Revealing that he knew of their presence, Shigaraki wasted no time in dashing toward the group, with his hand extended to use his Quirk on...Tsuyu. Midoriya could only look on in horror as the image of his classmate crumbling away repeated in his head over and over while he stood there, completely helpless and defenseless.
'Let's make this hurt.'
However, what he had feared never came to pass, as Shigiraki's hand touched Tsuyu but did not decay the frog Quirk user. This could mean one thing…
"Man, you really are so cool…Eraser Head."
Shigiraki looks back, to see Eraser Head using his Quirk to disrupt his decay ability.
"Nomu, take care of him will ya?" Shigiraki orders his weapon as Nomu grabs the top of Aizawa's beaten skull and slams it down to the ground hard enough to crack the pavement, knocking him out and deactivating his Quirk in the process.
"Now that that's done, how about I kill you brats-" Before he could finish his sentence, Midoriya blasted out of the water with his sights set on Shigaraki.
"YOU! LET HER GO! NOW!" Midoriya yells as he winds his arm back, preparing to unleash a smash, broken bones be damned.
"SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"
Midoriya unleashed the full destructive power of One For All in a single, powerful strike. Some of the nearby villains were blown away by the colossal gusts of wind released from the blow. The force also blew out the protective casing on some of the facility lights placed around the dome and rocked the water, turning the calm surface into choppy waves.
Ryuko threw her arms up in a cross formation to guard herself from the intense force that blew past her. Able to stand her ground, Matoi turned her attention to the source of the punch, finding Midoriya with a trail of smoke in front of his fist.
"Whoa… Izuku?" Ryuko remarked.
Midoriya looked down at his arm, expecting for the limb to be mangled and broken from the sheer power of One For All. But to his surprise, his arm was completely fine. There wasn't any damage!
'My arm, it's not broken? Does this mean I have control over One For All now? I can't believe it! After all that training!'
Before he could celebrate for a second, the smoke cleared. As soon as Izuku looked up, a pit formed in his stomach. In front of him he could clearly see Nomu, totally unfazed. He couldn't break his gaze from the behometh's soulless eyes, the eyes of the very thing that crippled his teacher.
'Wh...Where'd he come from…? Wait, hold on. It didn't...hurt him? No way…'
Izuku's world froze once more. This thing was a monster. Its grotesque appearance and overwhelming presence, it was as if he stared death right in the face.
"You're pretty powerful. This smash of yours, huh. Are you one of All Might's disciples? Like I care. I'm done with you either way," Shigaraki remarked, the words already seething through the Nomu's mind and triggering it to act. Its lifeless eyes snapped into place as it set its sights on Izuku.
The brutish hand reached over and immediately grabbed hold of the boy's entire arm, locking him in a hold. Midoriya attempted to pull away, but couldn't budge. He began to scream in despair as the Nomu extended its other hand toward his head.
"IZUKU!" Ryuko screamed as she suddenly rocketed back to the battlefield. She had to act now!
"Ryuko, wait! You can't!" Senkestu tried to warn her, only for his protests to fall in deaf ears.
"SCISSOR BLADE: DECAPITATION MODE!"
Before the Nomu could make another move, it was cleaved in the shoulder by the crimson blade of a screaming Ryuko Matoi.
"Don't...you...dare! Touch a single hair on his head… and I'll fucking kill you!" Ryuko threatened through gnashed teeth.
Suddenly, a wave of exhaustion and vertigo washed over Ryuko's body, loosening her grip on the scissor blade. Seeing a chance to strike, Nomu smacked the weapon from her hand and grabbed hold of Ryuko's wrist.
The monster's grip was so strong, Matoi cried out in pain. She could feel her wrist starting to crack and break as it was mere moments away from being completely destroyed by the strength of the All Might killer.
With the window of opportunity in her grasp, Tsuyu swatted Shigaraki's hand away and strung her tongue out. If she could just reach Izuku in time, she could save him, and Ryuko's intervention wouldn't be in vain.
Shigaraki lunged at Tsuyu again, his hand reaching out to grab her, while the other reached for Mineta.
"Dammit, I told you not to attack! You've been fighting in your synchronized form for a long time already. Adding this attack to the equation drained too much of your blood!"
Ryuko could only feel so, so stupid after hearing that. The one thing she was lectured on by All Might, it's the very thing that's gonna get her – NO! That's gonna get her AND Izuku killed.
She turns to meet Izuku's eyes, to see his own filled with dread… and fear for HER well-being. Tears slowly began to fill the corners of her eyes as one thought came into her mind: Because of her, Ryuko's friend was going to die in front of her. The death of a loved one, her impulsiveness and recklessness… the thing that killed her father, is going to kill her best friend, too.
'I'm sorry Izuku… Oh God! I'm so sorry.'
The build-up of tears streamed down her face and plopped onto the ground, death ever so close to the two young heroes.
Then, without any warning, the twenty-foot tall facility doors blew off their hinges, folding inward as they launched forward.
-BOOM-
Large clouds of smoke formed from under the impact, masking the perpetrator that knocked the doors down.
The students attending to Thirteen and everyone else in the facility turned their attention towards the sudden commotion.
Click…
Click…
Click...
The sound of footsteps echoed through the deathly silence.
He was here.
Uraraka and Ashido gasp in relief while Sato, Sero and Shoji smiled. The worry and panic began to wash away.
"Have no fear, students," the familiar voice called out.
"I am here!" All Might declared. His brows furrowed and his gaze focused with the intensity of a raging inferno.
"Look! We're saved!" Mineta cried out.
"He's here… All might..." Midoriya calmly said.
"Heh… 'Bout damn time," Ryuko weakly croaked, her tears beginning to dry up.
To be continued...
A/N: What's up ya'll! Aduubo here. Just wanted to drop by and always thank you guys for supporting this fic! It's awesome that it's reaching almost a thousand follows. I also wanted to clarify some things! Some sketches of previous chapters, I still do intend to make! Life has just been suuuuper busy lol. With me being sick from my second shot, along with me editing the Summer Festival comic dub for the youtube channel. Kinda funny that I'm posting that during winter lol! I'm also working on some "mistletoe" drawings that I think you guys will really like when it comes out hehe
Another thing is that people may wonder about the power scaling. In case you guys didn't know from previous chapters, one thing I said was that KLK and MHA have different ways of power scaling in respected universes: Examples being Ryuko being basically a planetary level buster while All Might himself is best known as a mountain buster at max. MHA pales in comparision to KLK.
But you guys probably missed the detail that humans are insanely buffed in KLK. How else do you think regular humans with just Goku uniforms could knock Ryuko upside her skirt? Satsuki alone, without Junketsu, could knock away people with just a glare lol. With that, you could just apply the same logic to people with quirks. So in a crossover event, we would have had to either immensely buff up the MHA characters to match up to the KLK ones, or we'd have to scale down Ryuko and others.
It's basically just a matter of having to compromise with the two because it wouldn't make sense if we tried to merge the two canon power scaling levels. I hope that explanation made sense for you guys! Hope you all have a great week!
One last thing. I read this, and now YOU ALL HAVE TO AS WELL AHAHAHAHAH
Review
Naruto-DXD6996:
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...DAMMIT! I wanted izuku to get some ecchi service that wasn't from an yandere villain with a blood fetish! Wah! Otherwise awesome but what of Kill's canon what will happen there, I could see izuku saving ryuko from satsuki kamui, or get a bit naughty when she goes a bit coco from it's effects! Man I wish a fanfic where izuku in a relationship with the sisters before canon (like inko moving to Honnō City or is best friends with ragyo/ isshin) where they help izuku in pretty much everything confidence, standing up from himself, romance I can see it ( first the girls would constantly fight over his sweet cuddles/affections/attention, from homework where satsuki wins, dates with actual brawls with it ending in izu bawling at them to stop so cute (no homo) cooking where surprisingly ryuko wins and last but hopefully NIGHTTIME SPARRING picture it izuku all red and stuttering with ryuko just as red and satsuki showing them EVERYTHING) and finally control over one for all (cuz let's face it all might is a dipshit 1 the man cannot teach, 2 is an idiot 3 should've stop that training match with baka-hoe cuz let face reality that little track suit that inko sewn together on a dime would offer no damn protection and he would of been killed because of an asshole with the ego the size of mt lady's ass ;) in reality speaking)
