As Izuku bolted within the LEAF suit, he found that the chainsaw Nomu was patrolling a certain area. It was not designed for offense, nor for capture... but for defense. Having searched around, he found that this area in particular had no villains. Not yet, anyways. It was clear that this was the area that was being defended, and that meant... It must be their rondevu. Momo was trembling next to Awase from Class B. Kneeling down to their level, he whispered, "Has that thing hurt you?" Momo shook her head. Awase looked at him like he was nuts for being as brave as he was. Honestly, it's not bravery when you know that you won't die if they try to kill you... but he didn't mention that at all. "Good. Get out of here..." before he could say anything else, Momo handed him a small device. Whispering frantically, she told him a key detail that might give them an edge over this new threat, "It's a makeshift tracker. If you can put it on a villain, I can track it." He nodded, before gently moving her along. "Good. Get going. Awase, protect Momo so she can track the villains later. Get yourselves back to the lodge." The boy nodded, before they slowly shuffled out of the area, leading Momo, who looked back for a moment before nodding. It was as if she was saying silently, good luck, sensei. Having one beautiful girl do that was more than enough, but he had to keep his head on his shoulders. C'mon, I have Ibara. No need to think of other girls right now. Confident that they were safe, he waited until the villains arrived. More and more of them were there in due time. The patchwork man returned to the area, his body smoldering as he walked over. The blonde girl from before skipped over, vials on her filled with red liquid. I really hope that's not what I think it is... although it probably is blood. Then, a man in an elaborate outfit and mask made his appearance. He landed with perfect precision, and the patchwork man gruffly asked, "Did you get them?" "Five are right here..." He pulled out the marbles. "Did the boss tell you want he wants with them?" "He'll try to recruit them, I think." He scratched the back of his neck, before continuing, "At least the main one. The others he wants to use for those monsters." Oh, now it's on. That was enough for Izuku. Stepping out confidently, all the villains looked at him. The two who could actually have expressions raised their eyebrows. The girl spoke up, "Hey, it's the cutie that Shiggy hates! He said I could stab him!" A psycho. The patchwork man dismissed him, as if he was a student without the LEAF suit. "Meh, go ahead. He's just a student out of his league." A narcissist. The Nomu roared. A monster. The man in the mask was surprised, "He wouldn't approach without a plan. I am curious to see the show he wishes to perform." A showman. What an interesting group. "I'm afraid I cannot let you leave. You attacked us, and must face the consequences of your actions. Just a question for the showman, if I may?" He bowed, allowing the greenette to speak, and so Izuku did. "Does your quirk work if you're dead?" "Uh... no? Of course not?" Oh... good... Izuku then said, "Well, then I would advise surrender." The patchwork man spoke derisively, "Tsk, another hero wannabe. Nomu, kill him." It roared again, before launching himself at the greenette. Leaping over him, Izuku aimed the God-hand at it, and extracted an orb. Shrieking, 4 of its 6 limbs disintegrated. I must've taken a multi-limb quirk! Aiming it again, he was about to fire when the black haired patchwork man unleashed blue flame in his direction. Outrunning the blaze, he circled around, only to be pounced on by the girl. She stabbed him in the shoulder with a knife. "GAH!" He cried out, Did I take on too much? It was then that she leapt off, and he realized why. The Nomu was charging. Reflexively, he aimed the God-hand at them and ripped out another orb. It shrieked again, but this time there were no physical changes... but its behavior changed. It started attacking anything that got close, and refused to work under the man's orders. Shocked, he found himself being attacked by his own puppet. Meanwhile, Izuku turned to the one that didn't fight back so far. He called out to them, "Stop right there. Release them." He bowed, "If you insist..." then threw one at him, and unsealed it to reveal a boulder hurtling at him at high speed. Quickly leaping back, he was able to get out of the way, while aiming the gauntlet at the man with the trenchcoat. He withdrew the Amrita from him, causing the marbles to fall from him and turn back into people. The villains, now in a panic, tried to get as many as possible... but they weren't able to take so many with the boy there, and were forced to dodge as he pulled Amrita near indiscriminantly. Dabi had finally regained control over the Nomu and sent it after Izuku once more. Instead of taking another quirk, he clutched the tracker, and dodged it, placing it onto the creature while out of sight from the other villains. This won't be found in a while... then turned back to them. It was then that another villain arrived. "What, having trouble with this pip-squeak?" Dabi, annoyed, spat at the muscular blond villain. "Perfect timing. He's all yours. Kurogiri, a portal at the rondevu?" A warp gate from the mist villain reopened. They must've gotten him fixed by AFO. However, he was going to stop them when Muscular got in his way. I don't have time for this... but he couldn't get past. His suit made him fast enough to avoid the blows, but he couldn't counter. It was then that he saw them leave through the portal. The patchwork called out to him, with Tokoyami held by the neck. The blond girl was carrying Ibara, No! The patchwork man called back, "You coming?" The large "Nah, this I want to make this one BLEED!" "Suit yourself." The portal closed, and now it was just them. Izuku did the rational thing in that situation and got out of his fist range as he slammed down into the rock. Aiming at his head, he decided, You're a psycho, and don't need consideration like others. He pulled out the Amrita from his body, and it collapsed to the ground, not even twitching. He waited for the other three students to come to, leading them back to camp when they did. When the group arrived back, he was furious that the villains had apparently succeeded. Especially with Ibara. Izuku called out, "Is everyone alright?" Ragdoll called out, "Most of us are here, Midoriya. They took only two, from the looks of things." He saw, "Ibara Shiozaki and Tokoyami Fumikage... I almost saved them." "Yeah..." Qrow said, rubbing the back of his neck, sheepish and regretful. "Sorry for getting caught." "Given your quirk, I don't think it was all your fault." The greenette replied, his anger dispursing. Meanwhile, Vlad King cursed, annoyed that they actually took two their students. "Damn it... have we contacted for help?" Aizawa, the calm one, nodded, "Yes, Allmight is bringing emergency services in the hour..." It was then that a noticeable blond ran into the clearing, carrying something small and frail. It was Monoma, weeping hard over... the corpse of Kota. Izuku walked over to that as everyone, especially the Pussycats themselves, looked on with horror. The greenette, still unfazed, gave a direct order to the blond. "Monoma, set him down for a moment." He didn't hear his teacher, still mourning the boy. "I failed..." Again, he gave a direct order. Everyone was looking at him like he was deeply insensitive. Or mad, with Aizawa even looking at him like he was both. But Izuku knew what he was doing, and stated the order, gentler this time, "Monoma. Set him down." He looked up at Izuku, who was the only one unwavering in morale. Nodding slightly, he put him down. Izuku aimed the god-hand, which people had never seen in use... and fired an orb of energy. The glow spread all over the body, then vanished. Ragged breathing started up, and his fingers twitched. His eyes opened. It was clear he was in immediate pain, but it went away slowly as the Amrita rejuvenated him over time. The effect was temporary, only due to his small exposure to the energy. Izuku sighed, glad one positive thing came from tonight. "Welcome back to life." Kota looked around, and saw everyone in awe. "I..." He turned and eventually saw Monoma. Scrambling away from him, he said, "You... the man who killed mom and dad said you were on his side!" Everyone looked in continued shock as Monoma didn't move. His tears stained the earth, and he didn't deny what the boy said. Aizawa wrapped his scarf around the boy. "Neito Monoma, you are under arrest for conspiracy for violent assault on minors and endangering public safety. You're lucky Midoriya was able to revive Kota, otherwise you would have accessory to manslaughter on your record as well."
