This is the Season One Finale, part one. There would be three parts for the finale.
Warning: the topic of gore is ahead. Reader discretion is advised.
Izuku's pov.
I don't know what went wrong and it happened so fast.
I thought I would be killed by the hands of the Hand villain. I was ready to close my eyes and let fate does its job.
Until All Might come and save my life.
He told me to take Asui, Mineta, Mr. Aizawa, and myself to safety, and to take him back to the main entrance.
From there on I thought today would have a happy ending. All Might defeat the villains and they go to jail, then my friends and I hang out with Jessica at Pizza Buddy. Then live the rest of our lives happily ever after.
I was wrong.
Hope became despair when I turned around to see All Might bleeding. The creature, Nomu was pinned down in a German suplex hold, but it was the Mist villain's doing to create a portal causing Nomu to grip All Might's weak spot.
He told me that he was going to be fine and I believed him because he was my hero after all, but what's in front of me now, is no longer a sign that he is going to be okay. I know about All Might's secret since we met on the rooftop a year ago, and I know that All Might has reached his three-hour limit from seeing Thirteen's hand from earlier. All Might is just pushing his limits. He cannot last any longer, and I feared he would die.
I told Mineta and Asui to take care of Mr. Aizawa because All Might need my help, it's time for me to be All Might's Hero.
I ran as fast as my legs can handle, I knew I wasn't fast as Tenya, but I had to try. "All Might!" I shouted to the heavens, hoping any deity to hear my plea, and gave me the strength to help him.
As I got close there was a new portal, and with it was Kurogiri's face. I tried to slow myself up, but the momentum that I build up is being used against's me. If I passed through Kurogiri again, there is no telling where he would send me, or he'll use his portal to chop off my head once it shuts.
What I didn't expect to see was Kirishima attacking the villain at its weak spot. That's when I notice the metal brace, assuming that's where his physical body was at. Then out of nowhere, Kacchan pinned down the Mist villain with his brace. "Get out of here, Deku!" he shouted back at me, as he used another explosion to attack the metal brace on the villain's neck.
My eyes widen to see that something large was headed toward The Nomu. I ran towards Kacchan tackling him out of the way of the projectile.
Once we hit the ground that when I notice that people were riding a huge black boulder. "Wait, that black aura, I've seen it before, and is that, Denki riding on it?!"
"Hey there, Jackass!" Denki yelled out as he, Rachel, and Todoroki jumped the boulder hitting Nomu knocking off his grip on All Might.
"Booyah! Perfect hit, Good job Rachel!" Denki cheered.
"I don't take all the credit, I got the idea from Terra," Rachel said.
I was thankful that I wasn't alone in coming to help with All Might in his worst moment. There was no denying what we see on All Might's side, he was bleeding.
For the first time, the six of us see that the Symbol of Peace isn't indestructible, he can bleed just like the rest of us.
"X-Hal, All Might you're bleeding. Please let me help, I can heal you!" Rachel said offering her help.
I recall what Denki said yesterday before we met Karen and Felicity. That she healed his sprang ankle back in the Entrance Exam. I don't know the how, but it doesn't matter. If She can heal All Might, I say let her. "All Might, please let Rachel heal you, your hurt, and your bleeding. Who knows what organ Nomu destroyed from his grip."
"Wait, Goth can heal?!" Bakugo asked, and I notice that Todoroki and Kirishima were giving the same questionable expression too.
"Izuku is right All Might, there are five of us and three of them, we can fight them while Rachel patches you up!" Denki agrees with me trying to convince All Might to listen.
"No."
I paled up when All Might gave his answer.
"My answer is no." All Might said as he stood up panting to catch his breath. "I appreciate the idea of healing me, students… Though, I won't allow you five boys to fight those villains." his tone turned to a more sorrowful one. "I should have been here when it happened. The school Principal is right, that I'm a teacher now, and I have responsibilities to you, my students… 1A… 1B… and the rest of the Hero Course from the first years to the third years… I just couldn't resist answering the call for help."
All Might continues. "I'm ashamed, and I feel guilty about it, now I'm here… I'm going to save you all."
This is why I looked up to All Might, and why I wanted to be like him, but this is different now. I don't seem as invincible anymore. I know he reach his limits and Nomu attacks him in his weak spot. I can't let him continue or he is going to die.
"Please All Might I beg of you!"
"Dude, please let us help you!" Denki pleads too, but He won't listen.
"Rachel quick, Do the same thing you did to me on to All Might.!" Todoroki shouted. I wasn't sure what he meant, but Rachel grabbed All Might with her hands glowing.
"I'm sorry All Might, but you leave me with no choice." As Rachel said that, All Might fell kneeling on his knees.
"Young Iida… what did you do to me?"
"I increase your guilt and shame, the amplified emotions increase the monoamine oxidase. Your guilt and shame are what keep you down…" Rachel turned to us. "Boys, I don't know how long I could continue making All Might feel so much shame. His willpower is too strong. I can heal him, but he is fighting back and I don't think he'll stop wanting to defeat that monster, to save us, and to please his guilt. Distract Nomu the best as you can, Go!"
"You guys, I'm going to stay here and be the bodyguard for Iida R. and All Might," Kirishima said, We all nodded as the four of us get ready to face Nomu.
I know, what we're doing is disobeying the orders of the Number One Hero, but he left us with no choice, he is hurt, and I know about his weak spot.
'I'm sorry All Might, but it is now our time to be your hero… Rachel, please I don't know anything about skills in healing, please, look out for All Might..' I thought as we marched forward.
"Well, look at this Kurogiri, it seems like the brats want to play." The Hand villain said as he turned to us. "You kiddies want to play the role of the heroic Pro Heroes. Fine, I'll give you what you want." He snapped his fingers, taking Nomu's attention." Nomu, new orders," He pointed to us. "Play around with the kiddies, break your new little toys."
the Monster roars as he charges toward us like a bull.
We didn't have a plan of attack, but Todoroki send his ice attack towards Nomu. "I can only buy us some time… and he is breaking my ice easily… Perhaps, we need a plan!" He said, panting his breath.
I notice that Todoroki was panting. Now seeing him he seems tired. Perhaps it had to do with something that happened in the mountain zone.
An iceberg and a mountain had a face-off. Recalling some debris that has landed near the shore.
"I'm on It Todoroki!" Denki said as he fired his pointer discs all over the area around Nomu.
"Denki, what are you doing?!"
"Todoroki can't win. After what happened earlier with Terra. He needs help." Denki said, confirming my fear. "I used my super move twice at the mountain zone. Who knows it may work again." He smiled at me. "You know the saying, third time the charm." He said as he fired all of his pointers, but kept one in hand.
I was about to check on Kacchan, but he left with probably a plan of attack of his own.
The monster is breaking through Todoroki's Ices. Any moment now he'll be in front of us.
It is time.
"Denki, use your super move, Now!" I shouted at Denki.
"I got your back!" he flipped his disc as a coin, He charge the disc as he aims his slingshot at the monster.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Pikachu!"
"Just watch and see Bakugo because it will be a total blast!" Denki fired his disc sparkling with his electricity hitting Nomu. The impact however wasn't epic.
It hit Nomu, but the impact was so soft, it went sliding down like the disc was an egg and Nomu was the frying pan.
Bakugo's eyes widened he was disappointed with how it went. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! THAT WAS A STUPID ATTACK!" Nomu even picks it up the disc, even though the electricity around it is still sparking it does nothing to the monster. "SEE, IT DOES NOTHING THE MONSTER EVEN PICKED IT UP, LIKE IT'S NOTHING!"
Kacchan has no clue what mistake Nomu has done because Denki isn't finished, my friend chuckled.
Denki flipped two birds at Nomu as the sparks. "Fuck you Bakugo, you see no shit." We see that the other discs that he threw earlier all rise. "Hey, Hand Guy's Lover! Fuck You!" The electricity from Denki's has fired away toward his discs.
From my point of view, Denki's electricity felt like I was watching a very interesting presentation of 'Connect the dots.' as the lightning travels to each dot, it reaches the last one.
The one that Nomu picked up.
Everyone who hasn't seen Denki's super move has their eyes widened, not prepared for what's to come.
"Super move: Lightning Web!"
The lightning danced around the monster like he was a fly stuck inside a web made of electricity, trapped to be electrified by the spider that is Denki Kaminari.
Kacchan was surprised too, seeing Denki's super move in person, rather than watching it on screen, was more epic than we realize.
I wonder if this is what it's like to watch All Might in action, rather than seeing a recording of All Might.
As the electricity went fades away. the monster dropped to the ground face-first.
"Booyah, that's what I was talking about, that's the power of my fucking electricity!" Denki cheered.
Todoroki stood up trying to catch his breath. "That was amazing… I had no doubt you were going to pull that through… You took down a dozen villains and Terra… with that Super Move of yours." he said complimenting Denki.
That was the first time I hear Todoroki complimenting anyone, not even Shoji during their Battle Trial.
Kacchan, by the looks of it, didn't care about the super move or Denki as a whole. I hope that he sees that Denki is strong, and was able to defeat Nomu.
I smiled at my friend as he does the cabbage patch dance while doing sing a song about how great he is.
"Who's that guy? What's his name? Is he cool? Is he lame? Oh, you're talkin' bout what's-his-name, Denki K!"
I sweat drop, it felt like Denki is overdoing it.
"Is he lame? Is he cool? Is he breakin' every rule? Is he anybody's fool? Denki… K?"
His singing stopped, and my heart felt like it fell to my feet. I see that Todoroki thought it too, as we hear him breathing where the monster stood.
"No, fucking way!" Denki spoke about what everyone was feeling.
The hand villain sends us a spine-chilling smile as he laughs.
As the monster stood back up, his skin regenerated, showing that the burns from Denki's electricity vanish.
"Hahahaha! You see, your puny quirks are nothing for Nomu." The hand villain said. "Now, Nomu be a good obedient monster and kill your little toys." The monster roars as he charges toward us.
'Shit, that was Denki's strongest… What quirk does Nomu even have?' I thought. 'I'm trying to wrap my brain to understand what he can do, is he electricity proof, He has an exposed brain and the electricity did nothing. That's impossible.'
Todoroki is frozen, and half of his body is covered in frost. I don't think he'll be able to make an ice barrage again.
We're fucked.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY EXTRAS, LET ME SHOW YOU TRUE POWER, BITCHES." We all looked to see it was Bakugo, and he has one of his gauntlets aimed at Nomu, while the other hand was on the trigger. "YO NOMU, YOU'RE FIGHTING ME NOW. YOU LAME EXCUSE FOR THAT HAND GUY'S LOVER." He shouted at the monster.
"YOUNG BAKUGO, DON'!" I recognize All Might's voice, and he sounded concerned.
I recognize Kacchan's stance. It was back during our Battle Trail. Kacchan was planning to attack me with his gauntlets but All Might stopped our match. I know about Kacchan's quirk since he got his quirk when we were little. Now I realize, what he is planning to do to Nomu, is what he had planned for me.
"If Pikachu's lame-ass sparkly shitty attack doesn't float your boat. My Attack will you, Son of a bitch!" I heard i ping sound, My emotions rise as Todoroki, Denki, and I shielded ourselves from what was about to come. "Die!"
Raging explosions racing towards Nomu. The monster just stood there as the explosion covered the beast like it was a thick cloud of heat and destruction.
As I watch this happen to Nomu, I couldn't believe that Bakugo was planning to use this massive explosion towards me. I could have died if it wasn't for All Might stopping our match.
"God it's so hot!" Denki said as we felt the heated wind brushing towards us. He felt the ground shaking. The shaking scared me, it didn't feel like an Earthquake, but rather a massive disaster. I had only seen it in the news on live tv, but this felt like what I would assume a high-speeding car crash would feel like.
None of us felt safe. We knew that Nomu was the main target, but the impact, the heat, and the shaking had affected us too. True, we didn't feel the burns that Nomu is feeling, but we felt the other results that explosions could make, The heated winds, the carbon dioxide in the air caused by the smoke, and the terrifying shaking.
Once Upon a Time ago, I once said that Kacchan could be a great hero and that his quirk can do a lot of good. However, I was four at the time. I was daydreaming of a wonderful future from the mind of a child.
Now, I'm seeing the truth, If Todoroki, Denki, and I were civilians like four-year-old boys wanting to see Kacchan in action, I wouldn't feel safe, because what is happening is real, and I don't feel safe at all.
"Sweet Jesus… That… was intense." Denki said, his hands on his knees, and his voice was shaking. "That was… Scary… It felt like… a volcano erupted." We heard a beep on Denki's utility belt that Karen made for him, and we both frown knowing what it meant.
Denki's pointers were destroyed. The explosion probably destroyed all twenty of them.
"Fuck sake, Bakugo destroyed my pointers!" Denki said angry that his support items is destroyed.
We all cover our noses smelling an awful smell. "God, that smell… that's burnt flesh," Todoroki said.
It took me a while to make sense of what Todoroki just mentioned. Then I realize what he meant. He meant Nomu and his burnt skin from Kacchan's explosion.
Bakugo smiled. "See that villain, that is the power of the Future number one Pro Hero!" He pointed at the villains. "Watch out loser the next one is for…" He pauses to see the dust and smoke clear.
Our faces turned from relief into fear to see that Nomu was still standing.
From looking at the monster, we could see his reddish muscle layer, as its blackish onyx-colored skin starts to grow back at an impossible speed, as Nomu took a breath of air.
"No fucking way."
I was scared too, not just to see that Nomu survive Kacchan's powerful explosion, but I also witness fear within Kacchan's face.
Just like yesterday when he went marching home after that our match ended.
Flashback.
Yesterday.
It happened yesterday After the battle trial with Rachel and Denki against Tokoyami and Asui ended. Kacchan didn't stay after for All Might's final speech for our class. I just assumed he let Kacchan go, knowing his emotional state had been shattered.
Kacchan built a wall made by his pride, the praises that were showered on him, and his belief in power and strength. He builds it for years, and it only took one day for his wall to shatter.
It only took, Todoroki, Rachel, Denki, myself, and our quirks to shatter the wall that he built so hard for so long.
I believe Kacchan feels like he could never repair the wall that he build, if it could repair at all.
'That icy bastard, that Pikachu moron, and that gothic stripper! No way I can measure up to them…' he sobs. 'Fuck, Fuck, FUCK! Worst of all, you are on that list too, Deku!" his tears went flowing down. "From here on I… I'm going to… beat you, Ya Hear!'
Now.
Even now, I can still remember his words, clearly like a picture.
There was a wild cackle laughter that brought chills to our spine seeing the Hand villain laughing. "You have to say, you barking mutt. Your quirk isn't lame as shit…" he continues to laugh in every pause. "Hahaha! You weren't holding back, uh… You were trying to kill Nomu… That's what you are right… You're such a loser you turn to murder." The villain clapped enjoying the display of power that Kacchan had brought. "Bravo! Too bad, you used up all your power. Never defeating Nomu, and you said that you'll be the Number One Hero… Then again" He gave a sinister grin. "You'll be my, Number One, Looossseeerrr." He cackled louder than before.
I paled when I saw Kacchan a lot angrier. Seeing him reach a new level of his anger, I was scared of what was to come.
"FUUUCCCKKKEEERRR! I'll show you who's a loser!" He aimed his other gauntlet at Nomu once again.
Kacchan was planning to use the gauntlet once again, as he was about to fire. I've noticed that the mist villain was missing.
'Wait, where the hell is Kurogiri!' I thought trying to look for him.
"Die!" Kacchan yelled.
"Thanks, for your help, mutt." The Hand Villain said as a portal appeared in front of Kacchan's gauntlet, sending the explosion somewhere else.
This action alone caught all of our attention. Kacchan too, as his skin turned pale as a ghost. We all see what his explosion did to Nomu.
But what would happen if Nomu wasn't the target?
At the main Entrance.
The remaining students watched and cheered as the rest of their fellow classmates fought the other villains.
Asui and Mineta, we're trying their best to keep Aizawa awake. Fearing for any possible brain injuries as he has. Hero thirteen lay down on their belly facing the ground. Injured from their own quirk.
It was quiet at the main entrance since Tenya Iida left to call for help. That silence bliss ended, when a portal from Kurogiri opened, unleashing above the group. The students were unable to escape their fate as they were covered by the explosion created by their strongest classmate, Katsuki.
The Villain Tomura laughed to his heart's content.
