TWO SYMBOLS

CHAPTER SIX: USJ ARC PART TWO

Ken: Hey there guys! Ready to read the next chapter of 'Two Symbols'?! I sure am! *Says with a large toothy grin*

Izuku: Just make sure that when you're reading you turn the lights on and don't stay to close to the computer. *Says with a smile* It's not good for your eyes.

Uraraka: Also make sure to read, review and like the story. *Smiles as brightly as Izuku* That'd mean a lot to our lovely author.

Ken: Well with that said, see ya later.

Chapter 6: USJ Arc Part 2

While the students that were sent away were fighting the Villains in the various zones, Thirteen was using her Quirk to suck up the purple misty villain and give Tenya a chance to make a move to the doors. "Ah, Black Hole, the Quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust. Such an astounding power." The villain said, praising such a powerful Quirk.

"However, you're a Rescue Hero, Thirteen; skilled at saving people from disasters. Consequently, that means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness!" He added as he opened a warp gate in front of him, before opening another right behind Thirteen, much to her shock, before she began getting sucked towards the gate by her own Quirk.

"He opened a warp gate!" Thirteen said, not believing she forgot he could do that and turn her Quirk against her, before she felt the back of her costume get ripped to shreds and reduced to dust, much to the students shock and horror.

"How unfortunate, you've turned yourself into dust." Kurogiri said wickedly, as Thirteen's Quirk deactivated from her injuries.

"I'm sorry. He got me." Said Thirteen to the students, sorry that she couldn't do more to help them. "Iida, get outta here! Go, now!" Sato shouted, knowing he needed to escape while he could, or else they're all dead.

"Use your Quirk to save others! Be a real Hero!"

Thirteen's words echoed in his head, along with those of his classmates, with Iida knowing what he had to do as his Engines activated. "Engine!" Tenya shouted as he charged right past Kurogiri and towards the exit.

"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves. I simply can't allow that!" The mist villain says narrowing his glowing yellow eyes as he opened another warp gate right in front of Tenya, much to his shock, knowing he couldn't slowdown in time.

"If other Heroes arrive, it'll be harder for us to put an end to All Might." Stated the Villain, as Tenya attempted to skid to a halt, before entering the gate.

'This responsibility… was entrusted to me! Classmates, I'll keep you safe!' Tenya thought, refusing to fail his classmates and friends, before he was surprised when Shoji jumped and grabbed hold of the warp gate.

"Run! I got him!" Shoji yelled, keeping hold of Kurogiri long enough for Iida to escape, who continued towards the doors. 'I'll be back in a flash!' Thought Iida, making a dash for the exit. "You impertinent child! You won't set a foot outside those doors!" The villain said, charging towards Iida while unknowingly revealing his metal collar, something Uraraka noticed and saw he wasn't just a cloud of mist, he had a physical body. "I have no time for this, begone!" The mist villain bellowed loudly as he was about to consume Iida and warp him away. Only to gasp in surprise, when he suddenly felt himself getting pulled away and back to his physical body, due to Uraraka grabbing his collar and negating the gravity on it.

"I may not fully know what his Quirk is, but he's wearing some kind of armor. So, he must have a physical body in here, somewhere. Now run, Iida!" Said Ochako, throwing the collar into the air, with Kurogiri unwilling being pulled alongside it.

"You pest! How dare you!" The villain yelled, with Iida making it to the doors and began prying them open. "You won't escape boy!" He adds.

"Not so fast!" Sero said, shooting a strand of tape at his collar, with Sato helping pull the Villain back and away from Iida. "Go!" Shouted Sato, spinning the villain around before tossing him across the USJ, while Iida was able to get the doors open enough to squeeze through, before instantly making a run for the school.

"Engine… Boost!" Iida shouted, running as fast as he could, refusing to waste a second on the chance the others gave him. "He's going to call for backup. It's over." Muttered the warp villain, knowing it won't be long before more Heroes arrive and stop

Mountain Area

Kaminari, Momo and Jirou were the ones sent to the mountain area of the USJ. Immediately they were bombarded by villains. However, they were able to take care of the villains mostly thanks to Kaminari's quirk. However he had short circuited his brain in the process and was now in his dumb mode. Before the students could celebrate their victory, one of the villains that had avoided the large blast of electricity grabbed the boy.

"Don't move a muscle." He says as he holds up Kaminari by the back of his shirt. "And no use of quirks otherwise I'll kill your friend here." He says stopping the two girls from charging at him.

"Dammit, Kaminari's helpless." Momo whispers to Jirou as they both stood prepared for anything the villain might think of doing to them. "Yeah, that damn villain caught us off guard. But how'd he survive that blast?"

"I should have seen this coming. I had thought they'd all be knocked out. It was foolish of me." Momo says berating herself for not seeing this coming. The villain just chuckles.

"You know, I feel a sort of brotherhood to other electrical types so I really don't want to kill him." He says before pointing his hand at the boy's face, sparks of yellow electricity begin to crackle around the hand. "But I will if you make me."

Momo and Jirou, seeing there was nothing they could do, raise their arms up in the air. Momo however, was trying to come up with a way to get themselves out of this situation. "An electrical type. He must be the one Todoroki said was jamming our communications." Jirou merely nodded after Momo said that.

The villain then decides to walk up to them while thinking of what he should do to the students. Momo and Jirou tense up slightly seeing the villain walking up to them. However, before the villain could reach them, he felt a hand on his back. He quickly turns around and was face to face with Ken.

"Yo." Ken simply says before decking the villain hard across the face, using his speed to enhance the force of the blow. The blow connects with the taller man's jaw, sending him tumbling back, letting go of Kaminari before he falls and hits the ground. "Well, that takes care of that." He says before looking up at the two girls. "You girls alright?"

"Y-yeah. Thanks for the help." Momo says with a smile.

"Where'd you come from anyway?" Jirou asks as Ken helps Kaminari to his feet.

"I was sent to the fire zone. I managed to take care of the villains there and decided to see if I could find anyone else. Guess it's a good thing I got here before things could get ugly." He says with a grin. He then looks towards the area where he was sure Aizawa was fighting. While the man was skilled, he knew that the man wouldn't last long against such a large amount of villains. Plus he still had a bad feeling about that bird-like creature.

"You guys go ahead. The entrance isn't far from here and I'm sure some of our classmates are already there. I still have somewhere to be." The boy says handing the still brain-fried Kaminari to Jirou and dashing off towards the centre of the facility. Momo, seeing where he was going yells out. "What are you doing?! You trying to get yourself killed?!"

"Yeah. Yayaorozu's right! Sensei told us not to go there. Besides he can handle himself! We need to regroup with the others!" Jirou adds but Ken merely shakes his head. "Sorry but I can't do that. I'm not gonna just stand back while Sensei risks his life for us." He shouts back as he runs farther away from them. "Besides, I'll jump in when necessary." He adds as he rushes off. Momo sighs, knowing she couldn't stop their class rep. The two girls then head to the entrance to regroup with the rest of the classmates, hoping everyone was okay.

Izuku and Tsu

The two heroes-in-training watched on with horrified expressions as their teacher was man-handled and beaten severely by the bird-like creature identified as Nomu. Izuku wanted to jump in and try to rescue his teacher, but his instincts told him that it wouldn't end well for him.

"Man. You don't look so good Eraser." The blue haired villain says with an evil grin that was hidden by the hand masking his face. Then a dark purple mist appeared beside him as the mist-looking villain now stood beside the young man. "Tomura Shigaraki." The now identified Shigaraki doesn't even turn to face his fellow villain.

"Kurogiri. Is 13 dead?" He asks the now indentified Kurogiri. "I have managed to incapacitate him but a student managed to slip past me and escape." Kurogiri says.

"What? You let a student escape?" The blue haired villain says. "Dammit Kurogiri! You can't do just one job! If you weren't my way outta here I'd have turn you to dust by now."

"Sorry Young Master." The misty villain says.

"If UA were to send more pros here then we won't be able to win. That's it game over!" Shigaraki says as he scratches his neck. "Let's just head back."

Meanwhile Izuku and Tsu who had been watching from afar and in hiding let out a small sigh of relief when they heard Shigaraki say that. Though something was bothering Izuku.

'Why the hell will they just decide to leave like that? They claimed they wanted to kill Allmight but if they leave now then all they achieved was warn UA of the threat they pose and prepare for it. What are the planning?' Izuku thought as he watched the villains closely.

"But before we do that actually. Why don't we use this opportunity to…" Shigaraki starts before in the blink of an eye he was in front of the two green haired students. "…take All Might's pride down a notch shall we?" He finishes as he goes to touch Tsu's face, ready to turn her to dust. As he grabs her face and uses his quirk, his eyes widen slightly before he chuckles.

"You really are cool Eraserhead." The villain says as he glances back at the pro hero who had fought through the pain and used his quirk to erase Shigaraki's. "But still…" The Nomu just smashes the man's face to the ground again widening the small crater.

Izuku in that moment leaps out of the water and subconsciously activates OFA on his right arm but because he didn't put a limiter on his power, he had used 100% of it. "LET HER GO!" He yells out as his fist glows with power. Shigaraki merely looks at the boy.

"Nomu…"

"SMAASH!"

Izuku then throws the full powered punch at Shigaraki and a massive shockwave happens at the collision. Izuku was shocked at what had just happened. He had used 100% of OFA in the punch and his arm while in a lot of pain and slightly damaged, wasn't entirely broken. He didn't have much time to think on it as the smoke clears and the boy's eyes widen in shock as he sees the Nomu standing before him and it had blocked it's punch. What shocked Izuku even more was that it didn't even look fazed or wounded from it.

Suddenly realization hit Izuku. 'If they had come to kill All Might then they must have had a way to. That means that…no way…' The green haired hero-in-training thought with slight fear.

"You know kid that was a nice punch." Shigaraki says from behind the Nomu. "You must be a follower of All Might since you called it a 'Smash'." The villain continued before sighing. "But in the end, you're still a kid. Nomu finish him." The creature immediately complies to the order and grabs Izuku's arm.

'Shit' Izuku cursed mentally as he immediately calls upon 10% of his quirk, his body engulfed by bright green lightning. Izuku uses the power granted to him from his quirk to try and release himself from the Nomu's hold but it was too strong for him. 'Dammit!'

Tsu sends out her tongue to grab the boy as the Nomu was about to attack the boy. However before it could, the entrance doors to the USJ are smashed open and a figure walks in through the dust. To the relief of the students, it was the no.1 hero, All Might.

"Have no fear!" He says, the expression on his face the complete opposite of the one everyone is used to seeing on his face. "For I am here!" He wasn't smiling, he was angry.

"Oh, so he came after all." Kurogiri says.

"Looks like we get to continue." Shigaraki says with a grin on his face.

"All Might!" The students who weren't warped away and were still at the entrance cry out in relief. The man just walks past them, towards the steps, his blood boiling in anger when he sees everything that had happened and how scared his students looked.

"I know you all must have been really scared, frightened and desperately fighting to survive this, giving it your all. I'm sorry for getting late but it's alright now! I'm here now!" The man's says, his voice booming through most of the USJ. He then rips off his tie as he was wearing his teaching suit instead of his hero suit.

The few conscious villains all took a step back in fear of the man. His presence and expression causing them to grow wary of the man. Most of them beginning to have second thoughts on trying to kill the man.

"H-holy shit...it's him...All Might." One of them says, his voice evident through his voice. "Y-yeah...it's the f-first time I've seen him i-in person." Another says also fearful. "

"O-oi, don't g-go quitting n-now...it's this man we came to kill…" Another much taller villain says, trying to sound confident and increase the confidence of the other villains, but they could all tell he was just as scared. The no.1 hero then glares down at them causing them to take a step back.

In an instant, before anyone knew what had happened, All Might sped past the villains, knocking them all out, each with a single blow. He then rushes towards Aizawa and grabs the man. "I apologize Aizawa. Should've been here sooner." He says before turning towards Shigaraki and the Nomu who still holding onto Izuku by his arms. In a blur, he grabs his successor, along with Tsu from the villains and dashes back some distance away from them, dropping the students.

"Woah…" Was all Izuku could mutter. He along with everyone else could barely, if at all follow his movements. "This man's fast." He mutters.

"Get back to the entrance, you three! Take Aizawa with you! His unconscious and seriously hurt! So hurry!" All Might orders the three heroes-in-training.

Meawhile Shigaraki picks up the hand that had fallen off his face while All Might had sped past him trying to save the students. Noir was standing beside him hands in his pockets as he stares at the no.1 hero. He was slightly shivering in fear as he stares at the man who was widely known as the Symbol of Peace. It didn't help that the man was just glaring at them in anger.

"All Might, you have to stay away from that bird creature. I used One For A- I mean my quirk punched it and it didn't even budge or get hurt." Izuku says from behind All Might as he got ready to charge at the villains. "They came here to kill you so that thing must be their w-"

"Young Midoriya…"

"Huh?"

All Might then turns and faces them with a smile and thumbs up. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just get Aizawa out of here!" With that said, the man advances with great speeds at the villains who stood calmly as he approached them. He crosses his arms in an 'X' before performing a downward chop but the Nomu appears and intercepts the attack and to the no.1 hero's surprise, he had taken the attack with ease.

"Gah!" All Might exclaims as he leans backwards to dodge an attack from close range by the Nomu before he then delivers a punch enhanced by the power of OFA at the Nomu's stomach but once again, the Nomu didn't seem fazed by it.

'What the-? My blows, aren't working!'The blonde hero thought in shock.

"In case you're wondering why your punches aren't affecting Nomu…" Shigaraki's rapsy voice snaps him out of his thought as the Nomu blocks another of his punches, a small shockwave formed from the collision. "...well, that's because of it's quirk. Shock Absorption. The only way you're beating it is by slowly pulling out it's guts, though I doubt it'd let you do that."

Nomu then throws a punch at All Might who dodges and pushes the arm to the side, quickly grabbing the Nomu from behind. "Well then, thanks for the info but if that's all it takes, then this will be a cinch!" He declares as he delivers a backdrop slam, slamming the Nomu onto the ground, blowing it apart and releasing a massive shockwave that could be felt through most of the USJ.

"Woah...only All Might can make a simple move like that so explosive." Ken says with a whistle. "We really got lucky he arrived when he did."

"Yeah but don't forget he's still a beginner when it comes to teaching." Tsu points out, remembering how the man read off of cards while teaching them. She then blinks when she realizes she wasn't talking to Izuku. She turns and sees Ken beside her. "Hiro? When did you get here?" She asks.

Ken just grins. "A few seconds ago. Could have been here sooner but some villains got in my way" He answers before looking towards Izuku. "Oi! Izuku quit overthinking. The man said he could handle it and he seems to be doing okay." He says as he picks Aizawa up.

Izuku barely registered Ken said as they walked towards the exit. He was the only one that knew that All Might was in more danger that people realize, given the conversations between Thirteen and Aizawa, All Might was at his limit. He turned and saw as the number one hero was struggling to hold his own against the freak of nature. He stopped in his tracks and turned around. He spoke loud enough so that Ken could hear him, "Make sure you get Aizawa-sensei out of here." He says before going into his Full Cowling form and run towards where All Might was fighting.

Ken's eyes widened before he narrows them with a low growl. "Dammit! Tsu, get sensei to safety." He says handing the injured pro hero over to the frog-girl. He didn't give her an opportunity to say anything as he activates his own quirk and rush after his brother. He catches up to the boy and the two were side by side heading towards All Might and the villains. "For someone that claims to be the smarter one, you sure are being stupid right now." Ken says but Izuku keeps looking forward. "Yeah, I know this is stupid but we still gotta do something. All Might needs help." He says.

"Quite foolish." Kurogiri says as he appears in front of the two who, upon seeing him, got ready to leap over him when Bakugo arrives and blasts away the villain. "Outta the fucking way!" He shouts, grabbing the metal body that had been hidden by the villain's purple mist, pinning him to the ground. "No funny business, or I'll blow you to pieces!"

"Katsuki?" Izuku says surprised to see the boy.

"You know, that isn't very heroic to say." Ken comments.

"Shut up, ya bastard!" Bakugo retorts angrily.

Then the Nomu's limbs were suddenly frozen in ice, giving All Might, who had been held down by the Nomu, the opportunity to free himself, although he was bleeding through his injury. The two brothers turn to see they were joined by Shoka and Kirishima. "Nice timing guys." Ken says. "Sorry about this but the symbol of peace can't be taken down by the likes of you villains." Shoka says facing Shigaraki who just scratch his neck.

"The kids have managed to pin our way out and free All Might. Gotta hand it to them, at this rate us villains will look like a laughing stock." Shigaraki states before sighing. "Nomu get rid of that blonde brat, we need to rescue our way out." He orders and much to the heroes shock and horror, the Nomu breaks it's frozen parts and instantly regenerates them.

"What the?!" All Might and Ken shout in shock. Suddenly the Nomu dashes towards Izuku who was the closest to it. The creature was so fast that none of the UA students could follow it. Time seemed to move in slow motion as the fist slowly made its way towards Izuku. All Might's eyes widened in horror as he knew even with his great speeds, he hadn't reacted in time and wouldn't be able to get to his successor in time. The only person fast enough to react was Ken, who out of pure instinct, pushed Izuku out of the way of the incoming fist. Izuku's eyes widened in horror as Ken had taken the blow for him.

Once the fist connected a giant plume of smoke hid the aftermath. Once the smoke cleared Izuku nearly cried, Ken was at the bottom of a huge crater, a large pool of blood slowly growing larger beneath him. He was barely alive but from their perspective, he looked dead. All Might gritted his teeth and glared at the villains with murder in his eyes. He couldn't believe he let it come to this. He was supposed to protect his students from harm as their teacher.

"So he took one for greenie over there, huh? Well, it doesn't mean anything. That's one down. Nomu, Kurogiri deal with All Might. I'll handle the brats." The blue haired villain orders out. Meanwhile, Izuku had rushed to where his brother was. He almost broke down seeing the state Ken was in. His limbs were broken and bent a bit and he was bleeding badly. If he wasn't treated soon, he would definitely die. With a hate-filled glare directed to the villains, he activated Full Cowling and was ready to charge them and avenge his brother when he heard All Might's voice. "Young Midoriya, go with the others. This beast is too great for you to deal with right now. I promise that I will avenge your brother, I'll be fine here. Take the others with you."

Shoka looked at All Might confused, "But I saved you with my ice, don't you think it's advantageous to have me here." All Might looked at Shoka and gave him a thumbs up, "I will not be risking any more students lives. Go to where it's safe, you'll be helping me by assuring me you are safe." Shoka nodded and she, along with the others left, leaving All Might alone to face against the villains.

Kirishima looked at Izuku who still had a look of anger on his face, he said, "Hey, I'm sorry for what happened man. Your bro's one of the manliest people I've seen, I'm sure he'll be fine." Izuku just kept looking ahead, trying his best to calm down while gently carrying his injured brother. "It'll take a miracle, let's just focus on escaping." He simply says before rushing off to the entrance.

All Might looked at the Nomu with a renewed anger. "You hurt one of my precious students, that is something I cannot forgive. Your quirk is shock absorption, not nullification. So let's see how many blows it'll take to take you down."

"I totally agree!" Shigaraki says and the Nomu immediately rushes at All Might who also advances towards it. The two throw a punch which collide and release a shockwave that blows back the surrounding trees and rubble while almost blowing away the students. The two then begin to throw a barrage of fast and powerful blows at each other, each collision cracking the ground more and more. It continued like this for a while until All Might notices that his punches were beginning to damage the creature.

"It's supposed to be able to withstand 100% of my punches. Then I'll just go beyond that!"All Might says as his punches increase in speed and power."Remember this words very clearly villain! PLUS…ULTRA!"All Might shouts out delivering a final blow that sends the creature flying out of the USJ.

The students could only stare at what they had just witnessed in awe.

'He kept throwing powerful punches until the Nomu's shock absorption couldn't handle it and it's regeneration quirk wasn't fast enough to keep up'. Shoka thought as she stared at the man.

'So this is the top…the world of the pros.' Bakugo thought with wide eyes.

"Man, it's like looking at a comic book! All Might's strength is really something!" Kirishima says loudly.

"Man, I've seriously gotten weaker. Back in my prime, it'd have taken five punches to beat that thing." Allmight said as he coughs up blood. "But I had to throw more than three hundred punches to win."

"Y-you…you cheated!" Shigaraki shouts out in anger. How? He had been told that All Might was weaker than before and yet the man had still beaten the Nomu, something created to kill him.

"Surrender now villains! I don't want to hurt you!"All Might says facing Shigaraki.

"D-dammit. How? How had he beaten Nomu?!" Shigaraki loudly asks.

"What's wrong?! Where's all the bravado from before?! You said you wanted to kill me?!"All Might says before glaring at the blue haired man causing him to subconsciously take a step back. "Come and try it if you dare!"

'T-this guy…' Shigaraki thought and was about to say something when two bullets pierced through both his legs earning a loud yelp of pain from the villain as he falls to the ground. Everyone turns towards the entrance to see that it was the hero, Snipe, who was responsible as he along with the rest of the UA staff had arrived.

'Finally…' All Might thought with a relieved sigh. He had pushed himself past his limit and was barely holding onto his muscle form. If the heroes hadn't arrived on time and the villains and had caught onto his earlier bluff. He would have been a goner. He wanted to sit down and rest but his mind wouldn't let him. One of his students, his successor's brother, no less, had been badly injured with a high chance of him not even making it. If only he had been here earlier, none of this would have happened. None of his students would have experienced something like this so soon. He just sits and looks down in slight shame, hoping that Ken Hiro Midoriya would be alright.

-Ken Hiro Midoriya. Quirk: Speed Force. This power increases his base speed by five times, allowing him to run at super human speeds but drains his stamina quickly-

-Momo Yayaorozu. Quirk: Creation. She can create any object as long as she know how it is made(It's composition, materials, structure and so on). But it takes quite a lot of energy and fat-

"16, 17, 18, 19, besides that one kid who was unconscious everyone is accounted for," a tall man wearing a tan overcoat with a matching a hat said as he did a head count of all the students. This was Naomasa Tsukauchi a detective, he was charged with making sure all the students were safe.

Tsuyu hopped toward the detective, "How is Mr. Aizawa, will he be okay." Naomasa called the hospital and put it on speaker, "Eraserhead's arms are splintered and he has facial fractures, there is no brain damage thankfully. His orbital floor has been badly damaged though, so there's no telling if his eyesight will be impaired."

Tsuyu frowned at that news and sighed in concern. Mina rushed ahead and said, "What about Thirteen?" The doctor on the phone answered immediately, "Besides some lacerations, Thirteen will be fine." This caused some relief to come to the group, it was nice to hear that not everyone was severely injured. Kirishima stepped forward before saying, "Where is All Might, he wasn't injured right?"

Naomasa was about to answer when All Might came to the group in his muscle form, "I am here, posing heroically for the students," He said, flexing his arms as he said it, "As you can see Young Kirishima, I am perfectly safe." Although, inwardly, he was gritting his teeth as he was straining his body to stay in his muscle form. He was doing this mainly to reassure his students.

Kirishima smiled and said, "Whew, I was really worried." The rest of the class had smiles on their faces seeing how well All Might was while also relieved that the man had showed up when he did. However, Momo stepped up concerned,"What of Naruto, the detective said he was unconscious and badly injured." The rest of the class look towards the detective and pro hero with concerned expressions, worried what had happened to their class rep. Iida silently gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. If only he was faster, he would have gotten help before Ken had gotten injured.

Hearing his brother's name caused Izuku to tense up, he remembered the how mangled and destroyed he looked, he didn't know what to do and just stayed silent. Kirishima opted to answer this one, "Hiro got banged up really bad when we last saw him." All Might nodded with a shameful expression. "Sadly that's true. However, he has already been taken to the UA infirmary and Recovery Girl is currently treating him. Hopefully, he would be fully recovered in no time."

Momo just nods her head with a frown. Uraraka walks up to Izuku and places a hand on his shoulder. "Deku-kun? You okay?" She asks noticing how quiet and down he was.

"I'm…fine." He answers.

"Don't worry. I'm sure Hiro-kun's gonna be okay." Uraraka says with a smile, trying to slightly brighten the green haired boy's mood. "He's pretty strong. You don't need to worry."

Izuku just glances at her before nodding. "Yeah…I hope."

UA Infirmary(Hours Later…)

'Ugh…man, my head hurts…' Ken thought as he blinked his eyes. The shift from sleep to wakefulness came slowly as he gained consciousness. The first thing he noticed and saw as his vision cleared was that he was in a white and dull looking room. The next thing he noticed that he was laying down as he stared at the roof of the room. He tried to get up from the bed he laid on when a jolt of pain shot through his body causing a small hiss to escape his lips.

"You shouldn't be moving." An elderly voice gains his attention. He turns his head to the right and sees Recovery Girl looking at him while she was seated in front of a computer. "It's good to see you're awake though. You had us all worried."

"W-what…happened?" Ken asks as he sits himself up on the bed, ignoring the small pain. Recovery Girl frowns in confusion. "Huh? You don't remember?"

Ken just blinks and trys to remember what had happened. Suddenly, everything came back to him. He remembered everything that happened. The attack at the USJ, All Might arriving and fighting that Nomu thing and the last thing he remembered was pushing Izuku out of the way of a devastating punch from the Nomu before everything turned black.

"Oh…I remember now." He says before looking all over himself to see what state he was in. Half of his upper body was covered in bandages as well as his arms. His legs were okay except he could still feel some pain when he tried to move them. His forehead was also wrapped in bandages.

"We were all told of what happened. It's a miracle you're even still alive after that. I'm surprised you're even awake right now." She says clearly surprised. Although now that she thought about it. She remembered being told that he had an unnatural recovery rate, especially since it didn't come from a quirk.

"I see…" Was all Ken said. "Wait, is everyone okay?" He asks hoping that his brother, sensei and classmates were okay. "They're fine." She answers. "Aizawa and Thirteen were seriously injured but they'll live and as for your classmates, well none were injured. In fact, you're the only one from the class that got any serious injuries." She finished and Ken sighs in relief.

"I'm glad to see you're okay Mr. Hiro." Ken's head turns to the door where a figure stood. The figure was some kind of bear-dog-mouse looking animal. He blinks trying to remember where he saw the animal before. "Wait, Principal Nezu?" He says finally remembering who he was. "What are you doing here?" He asks.

"Checking on one of my students." Nezu answers. "We were told of what happened and while what you did was reckless, it was actually really brave." The principal states. "Not many heroes are willing risk their own life to save someone like that, much less a first year student."

"Well, when it come to my brother, I can do anything to keep him safe." Ken says. He had promised himself that he would do anything to keep his family safe, even if it meant him risking his life like that. Nezu sighs. "Well that's good to know. You really had everyone worried though, please try to avoid something like this next time." Ken was about to answer when the door is opened and All Might rushes in.

"Is young Midoriya okay?!" He asks before noticing the boy sitting up on the infirmary bed. "Young Midoriya! Thank goodness you're alright!" He says loudly causing Recovery Girl to hit him with her cane.

"Quiet down." She says.

"Sorry." The tall, muscular man apologizes before turning to Ken again. "Young man. Please forgive me." He says while bowing his head down. "Eh?" Ken exclaims with a blink of his eyes. "I wasn't able to keep you safe. As your teacher, and as a hero, I'm supposed to protect my students and yet you got seriously hurt. If only I had been there from the beginning, none of this would have happened. For that, I am sorry!" The man apologizes and Ken could tell he was guilty.

"W-wait, i-is that it?" Ken asks, stuttering a bit. It's not everyday the strongest man in the world would just bow in front of you. "You don't need to apologize All Might. You did everything you could and I'm sure there was a good reason for you to not have been there." The black haired hero-in-training says. "Besides, we can't really know for sure if anything would have changed whether you were there so it's best not to think like that."

"He's right All Might." Nezu says. "Besides, everything ended okay. No one got killed. So you should stop beating yourself up too much. No one could have anticipated the attack anyway." Recovery Girl adds.

"I see…" All Might says as he gets up. "It's good to see you're okay young man! You should go see your brother though, he was extremely worried." The man says remembering the look on his successor's face when Ken got hurt and how worried the boy was.

"Sure thing." He then looks at Recovery Girl. "Am I allowed to leave now? I feel mostly okay." He asks the old woman.

"I'll have to check you first before you can leave. We have to make sure you're okay enough to walk around." She says and Ken only nods in understanding. The check-up didn't take long and Ken was allowed to leave. Recovery Girl had told him to avoid doing anything strenuous for a few days until he had fully recovered. After he had left the infirmary, he went to look for his brother. It didn't really take too long find the green haired boy seeing as he was also heading to the infirmary.

"Yo!" He calls out to the boy who looks up at him. Izuku's eyes blink in surprise before tears began to flow out his eyes. Without saying he runs at Ken and jumps at him, hugging him tightly while crying out. Ken felt a bit guilty for worrying Izuku this much.

"I-I'm so glad y-you're o-okay." Izuku says with a sniff as he tightens the hug. "W-why d-did you have to do that?"

"Well, it was either that, or it would have been you." Ken says. "I wasn't going to let some monster hurt my bro." He says before wincing a bit. "Anyway, could you let go, my body still hurts a bit." Izuku just let him go and wipes his tears.

"You had me really worried there." Izuku says. "I thought I was gonna lose you. I don't know what I'd do if I did." He added before Ken placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I feel the same. That's why I did what I did." He says. "Anyway, let's go home. Where's my stuff anyway?" He asks, realizing his hat wasn't on him.

"In class. Everyone else has gone home though. Although, I promised to call Uraraka once you were okay." Ken grins after Izuku said that. "You sure you don't just want to talk to your girlfriend on the phone." Izuku blushes a bit.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Yet."

The two brothers then took their stuff from class and left the school. Once they got home, they were met with a crying Inko who had been told what had happened. It took Ken almost an hour to calm the woman down and even then she refused to let him go for the rest of the day. Later, on he talked to Uraraka on the phone and the brown haired girl was happy he was okay.

UA High School, Days Later…

Ken sighs as he walks at a normal pace through the halls towards his classroom. At the pace he was walking, he would not be on time for class and would be late but he wasn't too worried. Their sensei had suffered serious injuries during the attack at USJ and while he was hoping the man would recover soon, he knew the man was not going to be fully recovered by now and would definitely not be teaching the class.

If only he knew.

Izuku, being the kind of person he is, decided to hurry to class, not wanting to be late. Aizawa or no Aizawa. The reason they were late in the first place was because they spent most of the night training and ended up sleeping late. His mum had stopped him from training for most of the weekend and when she did allow him to train, she made sure it wasn't anything serious. She didn't care whether he recovered fast or not.

"I wonder who our teacher will be now that sensei isn't available." He thought loudly as he crosses his arms. "It's probably gonna be someone boring." He adds. He then gained a serious expression as he thought about the villains that had attacked them at the USJ.

He thought back to that Nomu creature. He was lucky enough to survive that blow but he knew he may not be so lucky next time. He knew he had to get stronger as he was sure those League of Villains pricks weren't done. He was cut off from his thinking when he felt someone bump into his back and he heard a thud as the person fell onto the ground.

"Huh?" He exclaims as he turns to face the person. The person was a girl that looked around his age. She had long orange hair that is tied in a ponytail on the left side of her head with teal eyes and a slim build. Her bangs were split into three clumps around her eyes and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head. She was also cute now that he thought about it. She was wearing the UA school uniform for females meaning she was a student.

"You good there?" He asks as he sets out his hand. The girl looks at him before taking it and he helps her get on her feet. "Y-yeah. Sorry for bumping into you."

"Oh, no need to apologize. It was a mistake and no harm was done." Ken says. "Also you seemed to be in a rush." He points out. The girl nods her head. "Yeah. I was heading to class, I'm actually kinda late for class." She answers.

"Oh. Me too! But I'm not actually worried, my sensei's not available. What class you heading to?" He asked. "Class 1B." She answers and the boy's eyes widen slightly. "1B? So you're also a hero course student."

"Yeah. And from the way you said that, you're also a hero course student. Class 1A right?" She says, she had not seen in her class and if he was a hero course student, then he was definitely in 1A. The boy nods his head.

"Yeah. Ken Hiro Midoriya. But you can call me Hiro, I have a brother in my class and I don't want people calling us the same name." Ken answers while introducing himself.

"Itsuka Kendo. Nice meeting you Hiro-san." Kendo introduced herself with a smile. "Also I heard about the USJ, you guys okay?" She asks worriedly.

"Heh, course we are. You don't have to worry about us. We're all really tough and it'll take more than a group of thugs to take us down." Ken says with a grin. "Anyway, I think you should hurry up, you're already late as it is."

"Oh crap you're right! Nice meeting you, hope we meet each other again!" She says as she runs past him, heading to her class. Ken turns and stares at her as she ran to her class. He then shrugs before heading off to his class. He then reaches and was standing in front of the large door to class 1A. "Alright, let's see who's teaching us." He says as he enters the class.

"You're late."

"AAAH! IT'S A MUMMY!"

"Shut up Hiro!" The 'mummy' says as his eyes turn red as he glares at the boy who recognizes the person to be Aizawa. He had his whole face and right arm bandaged up except his hair and eyes. "Sensei! Why the hell are you here?! You should be resting!" He asks as he points at the man.

"That's none of your business. Now why are you late?" Aizawa asks.

"...No comment." Ken answers as he glances at the class, some of them snickering. He then looks at Aizawa who was still staring at him. "Can I go sit down?" The man sighs before nodding his head. Ken walks to his seat, and just quietly sits down.

"Alright, as I was saying, we're going to be having the annual sports festival which is coming up and…"

"Eh?! Sports Festival?!" The whole class cuts the man off, much to his annoyance. They weren't expecting this to happen so soon, especially since the villain attack was just two days ago. The man nods his head. "Don't forget that this is still a school, even though we train you to be heroes."

"But isn't it too soon. We just got attacked a few days ago. Isn't this kind of event one villains could easily try and attack." Kaminari asks a bit worried and fearful of another villain attack happening especially since they had just managed to survive one. Aizawa sighs quietly although he couldn't really blame him or any of his students for thinking like that.

"I understand your concerns Kaminari but since the school has agreed to go ahead with the event, it already has prepapred for anything. Security will most likely be five times bigger than normal but let's just forget all that, it's not the point. What you all should focus on is the opportunity the festival presents for you." Aizawa explains. "We can't just halt the event cause some villains decided to attack."

Hagakure raises her hand and Aizawa nods his head, allowing her to speak. "Sensei, you said opportunity, what do you mean by that?"

"The Sports Festival is the biggest event in Japan and possibly the world. Back before the era of quirks, we had the Olympics but it's lost it's substance with the appearance of quirks. This event will be watched by everyone in the country."

"And that includes all the pros." Momo points out with a nod.

"They'll be watching and scouting us to see if they can have us work at their agencies." Ken adds now understanding what Aizawa was trying to tell them. "That makes sense."

Aizawa nods his head. "Yes and naturally, entering a squad of a famous pro will grant you higher status and experience. Time is now limited and if you get noticed by a pro, it gives you a standing for a brighter future. This is a once in a year chance you'll get. If you're aiming to be a pro, then this is an event you can't miss." Aizawa states as he looks at every student in his class. "I expect the best out of everyone of you, got it?"

"Hai!"

Later…

"Everyone's really pumped up for this sports festival." Izuku says as he looks around the class. Everyone were talking about the event. Iida who was with her nods his head. "Yes it is! Getting fired up for something like this is natural!" He says, chopping his hand repeatedly.

"Woah calm down Iida." Ken says as he looks at the boy. Iida had, like All Might, apologized to him for not getting back up in time before he had gotten injured. Ken just told him not to worry too much but he could tell it was still bothering him a bit. "And it is quite understandable. I never really watch the festival but I hear it's a really big event." He adds remembering how people always talked about it when he was at the orphanage and the times he would see Izuku watching them over the years.

"Guys…" The three students turn to see it was Uraraka who had called them, she had her eyes covered by the bangs of her hair.

"Hm?"

"Let's do our best and crush this festival!" She says with a rather serious and determined expression on her face. It was weird seeing the normally cheerful and bubbly girl have an expression like that on her face and it caught them off guard.

"Eh?"

"I said! Let's crush this thing!" She declares again, this time catching the whole class off guard.

"Ha! That's the spirit Uraraka!" Ken says with a grin. "We'll definitely crush this festival!" Ken says as he slams his right fist into his left palm.

Later on, Ken, Izuku, Iida and Uraraka were heading towards the cafeteria when Izuku decides to ask the brown haired girl why she had decided to become a pro hero.

"Well…it kinda sounds selfish, but I'm doing this for the money." She answers surprising the freckled teen. "Money?" Uraraka nods scratching the back of her head. "Y-yeah. I know it's selfish and all and you guys have good reasons of being a hero, so I'm a bit embarrassed."

"I don't think it's something to be ashamed of. I mean, you just want to live a nice life when you're older." Iida comments and Ken nods his head in agreement.

Uraraka then goes on to explain that she was actually planning to become a pro to make enough money to give her parents a comfortable life since they were broke and there wasn't any work for their construction company.

"Wow...that's quite the admirable goal, Uraraka." Izuku says.

"I agree! Wanting to give your parents a comfortable life is admirable! Bravo!" Iida comments.

"That's a good dream you got, Uraraka." Ken says.

"Hehe…" The girl chuckles from the praise.

Ken then hears loud footsteps approaching them from the corner thanks to keen sense of hearing. 'Hm? Is that?'

"Aha! There you are!" All Might says as he runs up to the four students from a corner. "Young Midoriya! Would you care to have lunch with me?" All Might says as he brings out a small lunch box. Izuku just stares at the man with a confused expression.

"Oh my he sounds like a teenage girl." Ochaco comments. "Look at that small lunch box."

"Uh...sure." Izuku says wondering why All Might wanted to eat with him. He looks at Ken who shrugs and walks away with Ochako and Iida.

"I wonder why All Might wants to talk to Deku-kun." Uraraka thought loudly.

"Well it's probably has to do with his super strength quirk which is quite similar to All Might's." Ken answers. Although he was a bit suspicious.

"Yes. We've seen how powerful his punches are. All Might must have taken an interest in his quirk." Iida says as they reach the cafeteria and walk up to a line to order their food, not noticing Shoka Todoroki silently listening to them.

After School, Class 1A

"Okay what the fuck is this?!" Ken shouts out as he along with the rest of his class mates stood in front of their classroom door and they were blocked from leaving by a crowd of students from other classes.

"What are they here for?! They're crowding the exit?!" Uraraka asks.

Bakugo just walks forward towards the crowd with both hands in his pockets. "They're probably just checking on the competition. They wanna see the class that survived a villain attack." He says before yelling. "It's pointless though so get outta the way you fucking extras!"

"Don't just call any one you meet 'extras'!" Iida yells with a few chops of his hand.

"Hmm, I came to see what you were made of but now I only see a bunch of arrogant guys. Are you hero students all this way?" Someone from the crowd says and the person walks up. The person could only be described as a mini-Aizawa with purple hair.

"EEH?! WHAT YA SAY YOU BA-!" Bakugo was cut off as Ken shoves him aside and faces the purple haired boy. "Look man, not everyone is like boom boom over here, so please don't make any assumptions like that." He says and the boy scoffs before saying.

"It doesn't matter. I only came to warn you all. Some of us put in the general course are only there cause we couldn't make it into heroics. But from what I know even someone from that course can be taken into the hero course if they perform well enough in the sports festival and someone from the hero course can also be dropped if they don't perform as expected. Consider this a declaration of war. I intend to gain a spot in the hero courses." The boy says.

Ken only grins. "Oh? Is that so? Well then you better make it interesting then cause me and my classmates ain't gonna back down and just hand you our spots in this class. So good luck. May the best win." He says as he sets out his hand but the boy just ignores it.

"Whatever you say." The purple haired boy says.

'He's really something alright.' Uraraka, Izuku and Iida thought in unison.

Suddenly a silver haired boy then makes his way forward. "Oi! I heard you knocked around some villains and came to hear it from you but all I see are some arrogant punks who think they're better than us." The boy says and Ken looks at him blankly.

"Who are you?" He asks.

"I'm Tetsutetsu from class 1B and I don't like how you all think you're way cooler than all of us." He shouts and a few students begin to murmur agreeing with him. " Class 1B. So you're from Kendo's class huh." Ken says.

"You know our class rep?!" Tetsutetsu asks.

"Not really, only met her today, and about what you said before. I don't really care how you feel about me. You can hate me for all I care. But at the end of the day, it won't matter once I win the festival. So if you could just get out of our way, I have some training to do."

Tetsutetsu grits his teeth. "Arrogant prick." He mutters.

"Whatever mate." Ken says and the crowd later disperse giving the class room to leave. Ken then sighs as he leaves the class, Izuku, Iida and Uraraka following him.

"You know, that was pretty cool how you dealt with the whole situation." Uraraka says. "It was better than what Bakugo would have done."

Izuku nods. "Yeah Katsuki would have only made more enemies for us which would make things more harder." He says.

"Well let's not dwell too much on that. We have a festival to prepare for." Ken says before grinning. He had two weeks to get some serious training and he was going to make sure that he trained really hard for the festival.

Next Day…

Ken walks into the same forest he trained in for ten months before the UA entrance exams. He had a blue track suit on with dark blue snickers. "Alright then. In two weeks time, the sports festival will begin. I'll have to train really hard for it. There's sure to be a lot of strong contestants outside of my class." He says. He then activates his quirk, the normal light blue electrical aura shrouding his form.

"Okay, let's do this."

Alright, that's it for this chapter. It took me a while to finish this chapter but I finally did. Anyway, up next is the Sports Festival arc. Be sure to read it.

Anyway, till next time,

Read and Review.

Peace.
