Chapter 49.
One stage ends, another begins.
In the forests, several heroes are moving at high speed, the group of reinforcements is moving, among them are Eraserhead, Midnight, Present Mic, Ectoplasm, among other non-UA teachers heroes like Manual, and the Pussycats.
- "We must move quickly; those kids won't be able to handle this alone!"- One of the heroes said.
- "I wouldn't underestimate them, even though they are young, they are strong."- Aizawa said.
- "Don't let the fact that they are your students blind you Eraser."- Another hero said.
- "I'm not..."- Aizawa was going to say but something caught his attention. – "Over there!"-
All the heroes head towards what Aizawa saw and find an unconscious Techno. – "Who's this?"- Present Mic asked.
- "Elegant white clothes and a white coat over his shoulders... he is one of the bronze guard."- Aizawa said.
- "What happened to him?"- Midnight asked.
- "He was defeated... by my students."- Aizawa said.
- "Over here!"- Ectoplasm said seeing Kirishima on the ground. – "He is very badly injured..."-
- "Kirishima!"- Aizawa said seeing the status of his student.
- "What happened here?"- Other hero asked.
- "They fought and it seems like it was a draw in the end."- Ectoplasm said.
- "No… Kirishima won..."- Aizawa said. – "He made sure to defeat him so we could capture him."-
- "It seems you were right Eraser... these guys are stronger than we thought."- Another hero said. – "But now what?"-
- "You... take the villain and bring him to the police."- Aizawa said to one of the heroes. – "Midnight, take Kirishima and take him to the nearest hospital."-
- "You don't have to tell me twice."- Midnight said as she takes Kirishima into her arms.
At that moment Kirishima seems to wake up and tries to get out of Midnight's arms. – "Hey, it's okay! I'm Midnight, everything will be okay."- Midnight said.
That seems to calm Kirishima down a bit. - "Sensei... did I do it right?"- He asked with little strength.
- "Of course... you did better than you think."- Midnight said.
Meanwhile, Aizawa and the rest continue on their way.
- "Shota... I see you uneasy."- Present Mic said.
- "Of course I am... we just found one of my students badly injured."- Aizawa said. – "I just hope others have had better luck..."-
- "I'm sorry to be that kind of person... but you better watch this!"- Another hero said.
Everyone goes to the hero and sees Roku unconscious in a crater, close to him is Iida, in an even worse state than Kirishima.
- "Iida…"- Aizawa said. – "Fast! Someone take him to the hospital!"-
- "I'm on it!"- Manual said while carrying Iida. – "Hang on kid, you'll be fine!"-
- "Ragdoll, Tiger, you two take the villain to the police!"- Mandalay said.
- "The rest of us, let's go!"- Aizawa ordered. – "If they are like this... damn!"-
- "Shota! Calm down!"- Present Mic said. – "I'm sure the others will be fine, don't forget that Nezu asked Shiketsu for help."-
- "I just hope they arrived on time..."- Aizawa said as he continues on the way.
After following the path for a while, Aizawa notices that the tracker stopped indicating the path. – "This can be a good or bad thing..."- He thought.
At that moment a voice calls them. – "Sensei! Over here!"- When they turn to look they find Kaminari, Camie, Bakugo and Seiji, Bakugo is being helped to stand by Seiji while Kaminari continues sitting leaning against a tree.
Next to them are Moriko, Genma and Jotaro unconscious and tied.
- "Kaminari...what happened here?" – Aizawa asked.
- "We won!"- Kaminari said. – "Thanks to the guys from Shiketsu."-
- "I could have beaten these guys; I didn't need help!"- Bakugo said.
- "Yeah… sure."- Seiji said.
- "How are Kirishima and Iida?"- Kaminari asked.
- "Just like you, they managed to win... but they were very badly injured."- Aizawa said. – "Midnight and Manual are taking them to the nearest hospital."-
- "Sh*t... will they be okay?!"- Kaminari asked.
- "I hope so..."- Aizawa said. – "Where is Midoriya?"-
- "She is still further ahead, but Utsushimi and Shishikura say that Inasa may be helping her."- Kaminari said. – "Only the leader of these guys remained."-
- "Alright, Pixie-Bob, Mandalay, take the villains to the police."- Aizawa said. – "You four go to the hospital, Mic and I will go find Midoriya."-
- "Yes Sensei!"- Kaminari said.
- "Whatever…"- Bakugo said.
Without wasting any more time, Aizawa and Present Mic continue on their way until they finally reach the plain where they find Todoroki, Inasa and the block of ice where Hone is frozen.
- "Todoroki!"- Aizawa said.
- "Sensei… Present Mic…"- Todoroki said.
- "I see that you also won..."- Aizawa said but in that he noticed someone's absence. – "Where is Midoriya?"-
- "Another villain arrived, the guy called Alpha, he took Atanagi, Midoriya went after them."- Todoroki said.
- "Shit… Todoroki, defrost this guy and have Mic take him to the police, then you two go to the nearest hospital, the others will be there."- Aizawa said.
- "You're sure? Inasa is unharmed, he can go with you to help you."- Todoroki said.
- "Yeah! I can help you!" – Inasa said.
- "No, you guys have already done too much... more than you should have done... besides... following this streak, Midoroya must have already won."- Aizawa said.
- "Did the others win too?"- Todoroki asked.
- "Yes… all of them won."- Aizawa said.
- "Very well, whatever you say, Sensei."- Todoroki said and then began to defrost Home.
Aizawa continued on his way alone, the further he went the rain became more intense. – "Rain… Why only in this place and not further back?"- He wondered. – "I have a very bad feeling..."- Aizawa quickened his pace when he heard a thunder.
A few moments later Aizawa arrives at the place, he is surprised to see some trees still burning as well as a crater in the middle of the place, Aizawa looks around and what he saw left him frozen. – "No…"- Aizawa rushes to the center of the crater, where Izumi's body is. – "No!"-
Aizawa freaks out, Izumi is in even worse shape than Kirishima or Iida and she has a sword hole in her chest right where her heart is. – "Please… no…"- He said in desperation while putting his ear on Izumi's chest. – "Don't let it happen again... please don't let what happened to Oboro happen to you..."- Aizawa grew desperate each time until suddenly a heartbeat gave him his breath back.
That heartbeat is followed by several more, Izumi is still alive. – "Thank you... thank goodness..."- He said.
Aizawa looks around, there are no signs of Yamikumo, that and Izumi's state only means one thing... – "The mission... was a failure..." – He said.
…
…
…
Izumi's consciousness.
Izumi opens her eyes, once again finding herself inside One for All…
But this time it's different, in front of her there are seven chairs, five people sitting as well as a spirit that looks like All Might also sitting, two guys are standing with their backs to her, the seventh chair is empty.
- "Sorry for calling you so abruptly... but we have to talk."- The first wielder of One for All, Yoichi Shigaraki, said.
- "What does he mean?"- Izumi wondered, she still doesn't have a mouth. – "What do they want to talk about?"-
- "We want to talk about many things, but first we want to tell you that we are quite surprised."- The guy who spoke to her last time, the fifth user, Daigoro Banjo, told her.
- "The quirk you unlocked now... was mine."- The sixth user, En, said.
- "First Black Whip, then Float, and now Smokescreen."- The seventh user, Nana Shimura, said.
- "Your prominence with One for All is definitely amazing."- The fourth user, Hikage Shinomori, said. – "That being said, there is another matter we need to talk about."-
- "Your brother…"- Yoichi said.
The other two guys, the second and third users, only turned slightly to look at Izumi but quickly looked away.
- "You will have to excuse them... they still don't want to accept that you are the ninth." – Yoichi said.
- "Let's not get off topic... we saw what happened... what do you plan to do with your brother?"- Hikage asked. – "He betrayed you; he knows the secret of One for All, he is dangerous."-
Izumi wants to speak, but she can't, she has no mouth. – "No… you don't understand…"-
- "I don't like it... but I agree... he played with all of you and in the end he betrayed you."- Banjo said. – "He's not cool at all to me."-
- "I can understand what you feel..."- Nana said. – "At the end of the day, my grandson is a villain too, but right now we can't let compassion control us."-
- "No… I can't… you…"- Izumi thought. – "You don't understand!"- Izumi was finally able to speak.
- "And what do we not understand?"- Yoichi asked.
- "You say you saw him... but it's not true, you only saw what he wanted you to see!"- Izumi said. – "I may not know him for long, but he's my brother!"-
- "You can't let the fact that he is your family cloud your judgment."- En said.
- "But it doesn't..."- Izumi said. – "I saw it... he didn't want to fight me... because it was all a fake!"-
- "Yes… The kidnapping was a fake."- The second user said standing in front of Izumi. – "I'll tell you once and for all, girl, I don't like you... that silly childish idea of yours to wash them all... it's pathetic! That boy betrayed you all, I'm not telling you to kill him... but you have to make him pay the consequences of his actions... you have to capture him and lock him up."-
- "Don't talk about me like you know me!"- Izumi said. – "And don't talk about my brother that way either!"-
The second user is slightly surprised, he didn't expect this girl to yell at him.
- "I saw it... I saw it in his eyes, the sadness... he didn't want to fight me because we weren't supposed to follow him!"- Izumi said. – "The kidnapping was a fake... but so that the villains don't get suspicious! When I manage to reach him I forced him to fight me so he can continue with the fake!"-
Tears fall from Izumi's eyes.
- "I am the ninth user of One for All... so I will decide what I will do!"- Izumi said. – "And that will be... letting my brother do what he has planned... and if necessary help him!"-
- "What if I refuse to help you?"- The second user asked.
- "Well, don't help me then... if you don't want to help me, that's fine, take your quirks back... I don't need it!"- Izumi said. – "I won't let any of you change my ideals!"-
The second user looks at Izumi seriously and then laughs. – "For a moment I thought you would just follow what we told you... I see I was wrong..."- He said. – "I like you girl... You are the one who is firm in his beliefs and does not bend to what others say..."-
Izumi is confused, first this guy challenges her and now he flatters her... – "I'm confused…"- She simply said.
- "We were testing you..."- Yoichi said. – "Sorry for being so abrupt but it was necessary..."-
- "We wanted to know your resolution, we wanted to know what you were going to do."- Nana said.
- "You have a strong conviction... and that is why I will help you in whatever you decide to do."- The second user said.
- "Like me."- The third user said.
- "And us too."- Hikage said.
- "Get ready girl... because from now on things will get difficult for you."- The second user said.
…
…
…
Hospital.
Izumi opens her eyes, her entire body hurts, especially her chest. – "I'm in the hospital..."- She thought. – "My whole body hurts..."- Izumi tries to sit up, but the pain in her chest stops her, as she looks she notices the bloody bandage on her chest.
Yamikumo almost killed her, missing her heart by a very narrow margin.
- "No... he failed on purpose."- The second user said from her subconscious. – "The boy knew what he was doing, he aimed at the exact spot to make it seem to the other masked villain that he killed you when in reality he didn't."-
- "I see…"- Izumi thought and ignoring the pain in her body she managed to sit up. – "I need to get stronger…" –
At that moment a person enters the room, a nurse. – "You woke up..."- She said. – "W-Wait a minute, I'll go get a doctor and your teacher who was worried about you."-
After a few minutes the doctor and Aizawa enter the room.
- "Midoriya... you woke up, I didn't think you would wake up so quickly."- Aizawa said.
- "Aizawa-sensei... what happened? How are the rest?"- Izumi asked.
- "Kaminari, Bakugo and Todoroki are fine, they only have some light injuries, nothing serious."- Aizawa said. – "Kirishima and Iida... had to go to the emergency room just like you, they were very badly injured."-
- "W-Will they be okay?"- Izumi asked.
Aizawa remains silent for a few seconds. - "Luckily we arrived at the hospital in time, the doctors managed to save their lives, luckily they are expected to recover."-
This relieves Izumi.
- "Now I need you to answer me something..."- Aizawa said. – "What exactly happened? What happened so that you were very badly injured, so much so that you had a wound from being pierced by a sword in your chest?"-
- "I…"- Izumi hesitated for a moment, she can't say what really happened, she can't put her brother in danger. – "I managed to follow Atanagi-kun but the masked villain, Alpha, appeared and I had to face him... I couldn't beat him... he has multiple quirks and he managed to overwhelm me."-
- "And how did it end up in that state?"- Aizawa said. – "Or better yet... how did you survive?"-
- "When Alpha had me impaled with his sword... Atanagi-kun said that if he let me live... he would not put up any more resistance and that he would do what Tomura told him."- Izumi said. – "He sacrificed himself to save me..."-
- "I… see…"- Aizawa said. – "It must have been difficult... is there anything else you can tell me?"-
- "N-No... that was the last thing I remember before losing consciousness."- Izumi said.
- "I see... thanks for telling me... I'm glad no one died... despite how things turned out, at least you managed to capture five villains." – Aizawa said.
- "Yes but... I failed... I didn't manage to save Atanagi-kun and Iida-kun and Kirishima-kun are very badly injured because of me..."- Izumi said.
Aizawa looks at his student and crouches down to talk to her. – "I know how you feel... I failed once too... and paid a very high price... have I ever told you about Shirakumo?"- He said.
- "N-No… you haven't…"- Izumi said.
- "As you may already know, Hizashi and I went to UA together... but it wasn't always just the two of us... before there was also someone else, Oboro Shirakumo."- Aizawa said. – "The three of us were known as the three fools of UA. The three of us had planned to form our own agency when we graduated."-
- "And what happened to him?"- Izumi asked.
- "He died on a mission when we were just students..."- Aizawa said. – "I still blame myself for his death... that's why I am very strict as a teacher, so that you don't make the same mistakes as me."-
- "Sensei…"- Izumi said.
- "It's hard to lose... it's hard to fail... but as I see it there are two options, you can resign yourself or learn from it."- Aizawa places his fist on Izumi's chest. – "Don't let this failure mark you for life, make sure that next time this doesn't happen again... you've come a long way since your first day at UA... everything you've learned, all the sacrifices, everything you have been through… don't let it be in vain."-
Izumi doesn't say anything and just watches as Aizawa gets up and heads to the door to leave the room.
Aizawa opens the door and looks at Izumi one last time and smiles at her. – "Don't let failure stop you, get up and keep going, I know you can."- Aizawa said and then leaves the room leaving Izumi to think.
…
…
…
In the hospital waiting room are the three UA students who were not seriously injured, Todoroki, Bakugo, and Kaminari, with them are also the three Shiketsu students, Camie, Inasa and Seiji.
- "I think you were great; you were able to last a long time against that girl!"- Camie said to Kaminari.
- "T-Thanks… But if it weren't for you I wouldn't have been able to win."- Kaminari said.
- "Just to be clear! I didn't need your help; I could beat them alone!"- Bakugo said to Seiji.
- "Yeah… Yeah…"- Seiji said.
- "We make an amazing team!"- Inasa said to Todoroki.
- "Yes, we don't work bad as a team."- Todoroki said.
At that moment, Aizawa along with a Shiketsu teacher will approach the six. – "Shishikura, Yoarashi, Utsushimi, come here a moment, I have to talk to you about something."- The Shiketsu teacher said.
- "Todoroki, you are also coming with us."- Aizawa said.
- "Okay…"- Todoroki said.
- "Well, I guess this is goodbye... although I would like to get to know you more..."- Camie said to Kaminari before giving him a piece of paper. – "Call me."-
Kaminari looks at the paper and blushes when he sees what is written on it. – "I have a hot girl's number!"- He thought.
Without saying anything else, the four follow the two teachers. – "What do you want to talk about, sensei?"- Todoroki asked.
- "We want to talk about your participation in this mission."- Aizawa said.
- "I guess it's because we don't have a license."- Seiji said.
- "Yes, indeed, it is related."- The shiketsu teacher said.
At that, Aizawa and the other teacher give something to the four students. – "In view of what happened and having the approval of the WHA, we deliver your provisional licenses."- Aizawa said.
- "Eeeh!?"- The four are surprised. – "Are you serious?"-
- "Yes, after receiving the call from Nezu and choosing you to help UA, Eraserhead and I spoke with the WHA and convinced them to give you your licenses."- The teacher said.
- "Alright!"- Inasa said.
Todoroki looks at his license and smiles. - "I finally managed to catch up with the others."- He thought.
- "So yeah... congratulations and all that... Todoroki let's go."- Aizawa said.
…
…
…
Back in Izumi's hospital room, the girl is lying down while thinking about what she will do from now on. – "I need to get stronger…"- Just then someone knocks on the door. – "You can come in!"- Izumi said.
Saying that, Kaminari, Todoroki, and Bakugo enter the room. – "Hey, Midoriya! We hear you're awake!"- Kaminari said.
- "Guys… Wait! How are Iida-kun and Kirishima-kun?!" – Izumi asked.
- "Don't worry, they are both fine, the doctors say that their lives are no longer in danger, they just haven't woken up yet."- Todoroki said.
- "That's a relief."- Izumi said. – "If I already feel bad that they got hurt because of me..."-
- "Stop talking nonsense Deku!"- Bakugo said. – "What part of the fact that we went because we felt like it you don't understand?"-
- "Bakugo is right, I wouldn't put it that way, but he's right, you're not guilty of anything."- Kaminari said.
- "Still... in the end I failed."- Izumi said.
- "So let's make sure we don't fail next time."- Todoroki told him as he extends his hand to Izumi. – "We will become stronger together."-
Izumi looks at Todoroki and then smiles. – "Yeah!"- Izumi said and then shook Todoroki's hand.
…
…
…
Elsewhere the members of the league of villains, except Alpha, is waiting for something.
- "We've been waiting here for a long time...what exactly are we waiting for?!"- Dabi asked.
- "We are waiting for Alpha."- Shigaraki said.
- "That doesn't answer my question... what's so important that we can't wait for Alpha somewhere else?"- Dabi asked. – "I don't know... maybe somewhere that's not so close to UA."-
- "I don't like being so close to that place. / I love that place!"- Twice said.
- "I want to get out of here..."- Toga said.
- "Shut up…"- Shigaraki said.
At that moment, Alpha arrives at the scene.
- "Finally…"- Shigaraki said. – "Tell me Alpha... How did everything turn out?"-
- "Why don't you see it for yourself?"- Alpha said moving to the side and revealing his companion, Yamikumo.
Seeing Yamikumo there raises the alarms of Twice and Mr. Compress, however it surprises Toga and Dabi who looked at each other.
Shigaraki gets up and stands in front of Yamikumo, both of them staring at each other. – "It seems that the offer was authentic."- Shigaraki said. – "You are here... but how do I know I can trust you?"-
- "Why don't you ask Alpha?"- Yamikumo said.
Shigaraki looks to Alpha for answers. – "Do you remember the girl with green hair? The person you hate the most only below All Might and him?"- Alpha asked.
- "Yes… What about her?"- Shigaraki asked.
- "She's dead."- Alpha said. – "He killed her."-
Shigaraki looks back at Yamikumo who notices a slight surprise in the villain's expression. – "Is that so…"- Shigaraki said. – "Very good... I'll give you a vote of confidence... for now! If I see you doing something suspicious... I won't hesitate to kill you."-
- "That's fine by me."- Yamikumo simply said.
Shigaraki stares at Yamikumo for a few more seconds and then turns around. – "Alright, it's time to go."- He said.
At that moment Dabi and Toga approach Yamikumo.
- "Cut the shit, what the f*ck do you think you're playing?"- Dabi asked. – "What the hell are you doing here?"-
- "Ignore him. I think it's great that you're here!"- Toga said.
Yamikumo looks at Toga, then at Dabi, and finally turns around with his back to them. – "There is something I must do."- Yamikumo said while subtly looking at Alpha. – "And I can only achieve this by joining the league of villains."-
- "Dabi, Toga, stop wasting time and let's go!"- Shigaraki said and then looked once more at Yamikumo. – "And you... What should I call you?"-
Yamikumo doesn't answer, he thinks for a moment and then answers.
– "You can call me... Headhunter."-
…
…
…
UA Saga End.
To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
With this we conclude the rescue arc and at the same time the UA saga.
Things would get interesting from now on, since what comes in the next and last saga, the villain saga, would be good.
But! Not before having a transition arc, but no less important, which is the last arc of Yamikumo's past.
So yes, you will have to wait to see what comes next for the villain saga, but don't be disappointed, it's just a small arc to calm things down after everything that happened in this one.
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
