Izuku looked at the battlefield.
Sori was still skillfully dodging everything thrown at her by the three Ninjas. But with her feet so heavily injured she was put on the defensive, and couldn't find an opportunity to attack. Eventually, she'd start getting tired, and that would be the end of her.
Todoroki was dead even with Rain. Shoto would send massive waves of ice, and Rain would destroy them with water. Whenever Rain tried to get close, Shoto would keep him at bay with fire. Neither seemed to have an advantage, but the battle wouldn't be ending anytime soon.
Raiden and Triborg were in a bit of a stalemate. Tribog couldn't land a hit on Raiden with his lightning-fast speed, but Raiden couldn't get another good hit on Triborg, with his explosives and ability to turn into smoke.
Giza and Shredder were also seemingly locked in combat. Never had Izuku seen such a skillful battle. With both of them striking, dodging, parrying, and redirecting, with such masterful grace. Neither had managed to land a good blow on the other, however, Shredder had the ability to end it all in one blow, so if Izuku had to say who had the edge, it would be Shredder.
And Ochaco…Izuku had no idea how Ochaco was doing. Or where she even was. He just had to have faith that she'd be ok. And that she'd come back to them.
Triborg's appearance turned everything into a stalemate. Blue Blur could change the tide, but there could be casualties before then. Izuku thought. I think….it might be time for an all-or-nothing play.
Izuku pressed down on his earpiece. "Control, initiate plan B. Blitz."

"Be careful with that. If you mess up the circuitry you could destroy the whole machine!" The Fly Man scientist said as he oversaw the creation of a second Triborg, being put together by his fellow scientists.
KABOOM!
Suddenly the wall to the lab exploded, causing everyone to panic, and alarms to go off.
Keda walked through the hole in the wall, surrounded by Midoriya Foundation Army soldiers and tanks. "Alright fuckers, hands up! If you wanna make things interesting for me, you can fight back. I won't guarantee you get to keep all your limbs though."

"How the hell did they find us!?" A Foot Ninja asked as Midoriya Foundation Army Soldiers gunned them down.
"Unleash the mutants!" Another Foot Ninja screamed before getting shot. "Agh!"
A giant lion mutant suddenly started rampaging through the halls, batting aside any Foot Ninjas that got in its way, as it barreled towards the Midoriya Foundation Soldiers.
But as it was about to reach them, Gamma 2 flew in and punched its head clean off.
"Sorry, but there aren't gonna be any casualties on my watch." Gamma 2 smirked, as he took out his blaster, and started opening fire, destroying the rest of the mutants the Foot tried to unleash.

"This base is done." Gamma 1 reported as he stood in a destroyed Foot hideout, surrounded by Midoriya Foundation troops who were busy arresting survivors and piling up the bodies of the dead Foot Ninjas. "Moving to assist other raids."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sir! Our bases are being attacked!" Shouted a Foot Ninja to Shredder over their own comms.
"WHAT!?" Shredder shouted in shock and outrage. This almost caused him to eat a punch from Giza, but he managed to jump back and dodge it in time. "Which ones!?"
"All of them! All of our bases are being attacked!" The Ninja shouted, and now Shredder could hear explosions, screams, and guns in the background. "We're being completely overwhelmed-ahhhh!"
And then everything cut to static.
Midoriya! He found our bases! All of this was a trap! Shredder thought, but before he could even start forming a plan on what to do next, suddenly, he found he couldn't move an inch, as his body was immobilized by Sakio's telekinesis.
"Grrrrrrragghhhhhhhhh!" Shredder screamed out in rage, as he looked at Midoriya, his eyes filled with hate. "MIDORIYA! IZUKU!"
"I wanted to finish you off before I made any bold moves, but perhaps I should have just gone all out from the beginning." Izuku shook his head. "No matter. Finish him."
Suddenly, Shredder heard it. The sound of an icey crackling heading towards him.
And in that moment, everything made sense.

A little over a week ago, Izuku was sitting on a bench, with Giza standing by his side, as they waited in a secluded part of a park at night. Where no eyes would be on them.
Izuku was looking at something on his phone when he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching. "You're late."
He looked up and saw Sub Zero standing over him.
"I had to make sure I wasn't being followed." Sub Zero said. "They would never suspect me, but the Foot are ever vigilant."
"Well, it worked. According to our devices, you're alone." Izuku said as he set down his phone, and gave Sub Zero his full attention, before pulling out a Fractal. "This will make sure the two of us are honest. Watch. I'm poor."
Suddenly the Fractal turned red.
"My hair is green." Izuku continued, and the Fractal turned green. "Do you understand?"
"Yes. Let us get on with it. The longer I'm away, the more suspension could be aroused." Sub Zero pointed out.
"Very well. So, what are you here to offer, and what do you want for it?" Izuku asked.
"I offer you, the destruction of the Foot Clan. In its entirety." Sub Zero offered. "I can offer information on all of our bases, operations, and details on other prominent members. I know nearly all there is to know about the Foot. My family has been with them for generations after all. In return, all I wish for is a large sum of money, and a pardon for any crimes you believe I may have committed."
"You intend to live an honest life?" Izuku asked, sounding skeptical.
"Should my request be granted, I will simply have no need for forging criminal activity." Sub Zero said.
"I see…I'm not a fan of working with criminals. And I detest the idea of letting them get away scot-free for the sake of my own convenience." Izuku said. "However, this is an opportunity to crush the Foot Clan in its entirety, all at once. To all this chance to slip away due to my own preferences would be far more selfish of me. Very well. But let's make this clear, from now, until the Foot is destroyed. You work for me."

Sub Zero fired an icy blast at Shredder, quickly freezing his entire body.
"WHAT!" Rain shouted as he was holding up a water wall between him and Shoto's flames, looking at Sub Zero in shock and outrage. "Sub Zero you damned traitor!"
"All I'm doing is leaving a sinking ship." Sub Zero scoffed. "I'd suggest you do the same. But it's far too late for all of you."
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Rain heard the sounds of explosions behind him. Very quickly getting closer and closer. And when he looked behind him, Bakugo's hand was already in his face.
KABOOM!
A massive point-blank explosion hit Rain right in the face. Sending him flying, half-conscious towards Todoroki, who immediately trapped him in a massive block of ice.
"One down," Bakugo said, giving the other ninjas a fearsome grin.
"Damn it all!" Reptile looked at Sub Zero, and shot out a wave of acid from his mouth, which Sub Zero dodged, before shooting a freezing blast at Reptile, forcing the giant lizard man to jump to the side to dodge it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And then Bakugo was in his face in an instant, aiming his hand in his face.
KABOOM!
Another huge explosion burst out from his hand, hitting Reptile point blank and sending him flying, tumbling across the field.
Sub Zero then shot out another freezing blast at Reptile, freezing him completely.
"Heh. Well, it looks like you're all alone Edgy." Sori smirked, before realizing she was staring down Saibot and his dozens of clones. "I mean you have clones but does that really count?"
Saiboot said nothing, before creating more clones and running in the opposite direction.
"He thinks he can run! Ha!" Bakugo smirked, as he held up his hand, and put his other hand over it. "A.P. Scatter Shot!"
Small explosions burst out from Bakugo's palm, mowing down the clones by the dozens.
Saibot himself desperately tried to dodge each and every small explosion and succeeded…until Sori used her remaining strength, combined with her fractal, rushed in front of him, and then delivered a powerful kick to the face.
The black-garbed ninja flew back, landing on his back and skidding across the ground, before coming to a stop. Completely unconscious.
Meanwhile, Triborg noticed his comrades being defeated, as he faced off against Raiden. "Most of our forces have been defeated. Activating."
KRACKKRACKOOM!
Suddenly, Blue Blur came in, and kicked Triborg directly in the head, releasing all the energy he'd built up by running all this time, into this one attack.
Triborg's head shattered to bits, and a massive explosion of force and air burst out in all directions, sending Blue Blur flying, and forcing Raiden to cover his face for a moment.
Once everything died down, Raiden uncovered his face and saw a headless Triborg fell to its knees, and Blue Blur lying on a floor face first.
"Owwwww." Blue Blur groaned.
Raiden ran to him. "Hey, good job man! You got him!"
"Awesome. Because I just shattered my leg and I would be SCREWED if that didn't work." Blue Blur admitted, grimacing from the immense amount of pain he was in.
"It looks like everything's about wrapped up on this end," Raiden said, overlooking the battle. "Just need to get rid of that Scorpion guy and we're all good."
Meanwhile, Sub-Zero approached Izuku.
"Scorpion, he took Ochaco to this…Netherrealm you mentioned?" Izuku asked, trying to hide his panic. "How do we get her out?"
"I do not know. I do not even know if it's possible." Sub Zero explained. "The only person I've ever seen leave that realm is Scorpion."
"Then we'll have to capture him by any means necessary," Izuku said with a look of fierce determination.
CRACK!
Izuku and Sub Zero's eyes went wide, and they immediately turned their heads to see the ice around Shredder start to crack.
CRACK! CRACK!
More and more the ice started to crack until-
SMASH!
The ice shattered completely, and Shredder broke free.
"RAGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shredder let out a demonic scream, as suddenly his body started to change. His muscles grew, ripping apart his clothes and turning a sickly shade of pinkish green, as his face deformed. Turning into a hulking, grotesque monster with blades coming out of his arms.
"For fucks sake what now!?" Bakugo growled as everyone got ready to fight again.
Shredder turned to face Izuku, pure hate shining in his eyes. "MIIIIIIDOOOOORRRRIYA!"
So yeah that was chapter 2, and it turns out Sub Zero was the imposter!
Please review and have a nice day.
