Chapter Summary: In this third part of the U.S.J chapters, we'll see how a few of the students handle themselves against the villains that attack U.S.J .
Disclaimer: For this chapter, like the last, I'm basing it on the story, Deku: The Sharingan Hero by MrAuthor18. I would once again like to thank MrAuthor18 for allowing me to use his chapters. In this chapter, you'll see a lot of MrAuthor18's work here. But to make sure this chapter isn't 100% like MrAuthor18's, I've edited it so that the layout of it is different and there's some extra staff added to the chapter.
Chapter Eight…
(U.S.J - Part 3)
Conflagration Zone:
We begin this chapter with four students being teleported into the Conflagration Zone, Tetsutetsu 'Tsu' Tetsutetsu, Yui Kodai, Sora Tsuburaba and Fumikage Tokoyami. This zone was set up so that students could experience rescuing people in areas that were on fire. As a lot of times heroes would need to rescue people in areas where whole city blocks were on fire. So, they would need to deal with fires, breaking glass, exploding cars and many other problems created by fire. This zone was meant to help students to deal with such problems.
Now, we have Tetsutetsu, who after using her quirk, Steel, by covering her whole body with steel, she safely landed on the ground. Tetsutetsu couldn't believe what had happened, she was still trying to process everything. First she met the first every male with a quirk, who was too cute for his own good. That alone was shocking, and she had to wonder what his quirk was. Then not long after coming to U.S.J, it was attacked by villains. She didn't think that was possible.
However, the smell of something burning snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked around and realized where She was.
"I'm in the Conflagration Zone." Tsu said to herself.
"Tetsutetsu!" The steel teen heard her name being called by none other than his classmate, Yui Kodai. She was someone who had shoulder-length, bob-shaped hair, side-swept to her right, with shorter strands hanging above her eyes. She had fair skin, with an athletic build, and cerulean eyes.
Her costume was a simple red bodysuit with a white-collar trim, a matching "V" pattern running over her chest and around her upper arms, which also includes a short white skirt with a red design at the front, dipping so it follows the one in her chest. Yui wears plain vambraces and a hat that resembles the front of a baseball cap, coloured red with white U-shaped lines around the sides, with a metal piece resembling a fin attached at the back of the strap around her head.
She also has a belt at her waist and straps around her shoulders, what appears to be a yellow oval-shaped gemstone set between them on her chest, each adorned with a small pouch containing the various nuts, bolts, and all of the other small metal pieces.
"Kodai, you're here too." Tetsutetsu exclaimed, surprised to see her classmate here.
"Yes, it seems like that Mist villain scattered us in the different zones here." Yui replied, explaining the situation.
"I see… Then we must find the others immediately." Tsu said as she was worried about her classmates.
Yui nodded as she agreed with her, "Yes, we need to find all the students who ended up here with us."
"And where do you think you're going?" A sinister voice said.
The two teen heroes in training looked back and found a group of goons, ready to fight them. Yui noticed that they all had Fire Quirks in one form or another, as one of the villains' hair was on fire and it made sense to her for villains with Fire quirks to be here.
"Those villains… they knew, they exactly what was in these facilities before they gathered people. Did they gather intel somehow?" Yui murmured to herself as she realized how big of an advantage the villains had. "Tetsutetsu, we need to run away. They overwhelm us in numbers and their quirks work best here."
"Huh? I can't call myself a woman if I run away!" Tetsutetsu shot back.
Hearing this one of the goons laughed, "As if we'll let you escape that easily. Our job here is to kill you." The villain then dashed over the two teens and outstretched her hands to shoot fire at them.
"Kodai, stand back!" Tetsutetsu said as she stood in front of Yui and covered his body in steel. Once the villain stopped firing, he was surprised to see Tetsutetsu still alive and with no scratch, whatsoever.
"What the-? How?" The villain questioned in shock.
"Sorry to break it to you… But your fire is too weak for my steel." Tetsutetsu replied as her eyes showed her resolve to protect her classmate.
Seeing this, Yui quickly came to another realization. If the villains sent someone like Tetsutetsu in the Conflagration Zone despite her heat resistance, then this could only mean that the villains had no idea about their quirks. If they knew, they would've sent Tetsutetsu to the Shipwreck Zone.
"Tetsutetsu! Change of plans, we're going to fight them. Our advantage is that they have no idea about our quirks." Yui explained their current situation and Tetsutetsu could only grin as she was ready to teach these assholes the errors of their way.
"Out of my way losers!" Tetsutetsu shouted as she prepared to rush in with everything she had.
Despite the villains' attempt to use their Fire Quirks and burn Tetsutetsu, they couldn't stop her from bulldozing her way like a juggernaut. The woman of steel snickered as she took half of them out.
Yui opened her pouch and took a circular piece of metal before she threw it at the villains. Once Yui brought her fingertips together, the piece of metal then began to grow in size until it hit the remaining goons, taking them out effectively. This was thanks to her quirk, Size, this quirk allows to alter the size of nonliving objects that she has interacted with.
"Let's go. We need to get out of here before they wake up again." Yui commented and Tetsutetsu was about to follow her, until he heard the voice of one of the goons they just defeated.
"You think you kids will be able to get away." The villain said weakly before she chuckled. "Just wait until our boss, Salamander finds you. Her flames are stronger than any of us and she'll make sure to burn you all to death!" The villain then began laughing with a hint of malice, but Tetsutetsu punched her and put her out of commission. She was tired of her rambling.
"Let's go…" Tetsutetsu said as he had a bad feeling about this…
Meanwhile, Toru was also sent to the Conflagration Zone. After processing everything that just happened, she decided that it would be best to find a place to hide until all this madness ends. She was too afraid and things were getting worse by the second. Thanks to her costume consisting only of a pair of simple light blue gloves decorated by pale pink lines and light brownish-grey lace-up shoes, it was hard for others to see her. It made it easier to hide as she took her gloves off, as something floating in mid-air would make it easier for villains to suspect something.
She quickly ran in the streets and took a left after a tall building, but stopped once she spotted a big group of villains.
"They're here!" She whispered with a hint of panic. However, she calmed down a bit once she remembered that she was invisible and that the villains shouldn't be able to see her.
"It appears they're discussing something important…" She whispered as she carefully observed them. She couldn't hear exactly what they were saying because of how far she was, but she was hesitant to get closer.
"What should I do?" She asked herself. As much as she wanted to help her classmates and be useful, she was also terrified of the villains. She clenched her fists and steeled her resolve. She knew that if she wanted to be a hero, she needed to learn to overcome such fears . So, whilst she might not be able to fight these villains, she can at the very least gather information.
Toru then approached the group of villains while making sure not to make any noise. Once the distance grew shorter, she was finally able to hear the conversation.
"Hey, boss. Are you sure that this Shigaraki kid would be able to kill All Might? I mean how can I say this, she doesn't seem to me like a proper leader." One of the villains said and a few nodded in agreement.
"I know." A tall and muscular woman replied. Toru noted that she must be the leader of that group and noticed that he had a salamander tattoo on her neck. Not only that, but for some reason she was igniting her right hand's fingers with fire, one after the other.
"Then why are we here, Salamander?" asked another villain.
The villain identified as Salamander sighed and smoke could be seen coming out of her mouth. "Because I'm placing my bets on the two monsters that Shigaraki brought with her."
"You mean the Nomus?" A villain asked.
"Yes. They are the strongest human weapons ever created. They were created by the king of underground and darkness himself." Salamander explained.
"You don't mean…" gasped a villain, unable to finish what she was trying to say.
"Yes, they have multiple quirks too." Salamander admitted. This shocked Toru, other than Midoriya, she never meet or heard of someone with multiple quirks.
"I see… so Shigaraki is just a brat and nothing else." said a villain.
"A brat?" Salamander scoffed, "She's just a rat that she probably found in a dirty alleyway or something. And I think there's also another rat that has been overhearing us for a while now!" She said before firing a fireball at Toru.
"AAAHHHH!" Toru screamed in panic but managed to dodge the fireball by jumping away. She opened her eyes and tried to get up, but Salamander grabbed her by her throat. Toru then tried to break free of her grip, but her attempts proved to be pointless.
"We've found our first prey." She said before she threw her towards her followers.
Toru immediately began to cough while holding her sore throat.
"Tell me little one, where are your friends? I sent my women over a little while ago and they haven't come back yet, so I assume your friends defeated them." said Salamander.
"H, how did y, you find m, me?" Toru asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"That's simple… I sensed the amount of oxygen dropping where you were hiding,thanks to my quirk." the lead of the villains said, then with authority she asked, "Now answer my question, where are your friends?"
"I, I don't kn-" She began but was interrupted by a fireball that was fired right next to her.
"You know what I hate most in this world, it's lying… I know that there's no way a weakling like you could've ever defeated my team. So, I'll ask one more time. Where are your friends?" She asked with a very cold voice and outstretched her hand, preparing to shoot a fireball and burn Toru to death.
Seeing this, Toru began to shake in fear and cry as her life began to flash in front of her. This is it. She was going to die. But she didn't want to die here. She didn't want to die now.
"I see… Then die." Salamander coldly said with indifference, but instead of aiming at Toru, she aimed at Tetsutetsu who hardened her body with her steel and tanked the attack.
Toru then opened her eyes and saw Tetsutetsu, then her eyes drifted to a metallic object that slammed into Salamander's head.
"Aagh!" she let out a grunt in pain as she stammered.
At that moment, a young woman with long spiky, up top and on the sides, brown hair, grabbed her and ran away from Salamander and her mob. Another thing to notice was that the girl's eyes were also oval-shaped, along with her large pupils.
Her costume consisted of a black v-neck t-shirt with white hemming, black shorts with grey pockets held on by red straps. She had shorts that were tight around her calves. She also had a longer black hooded jacket with red hemming, grey pockets with white hemming, and red flannel flaps that are held down by a series of yellow buttons. Her shoes were black and yellow, with the ankle and tongue of the shoe folded down, and a single black strap. She also had fingerless gloves come to a v on her hands and are just short of her elbow. The gloves have red hemming, a yellow strap around the wrist, and a silver circle plate on the back of the hand.
"Nice job, Tsuburaba!" Tetsutetsu praised her classmate who they met up with a few minutes before. Thanks to Yui's plan, they managed to rescue Toru from danger.
"Th-Thank y-you so much… for saving me." Toru thanked Sora as she was grateful to the three of them. Her eyes were still teary and she was still shaking in fear, but she was also relieved now, knowing that she has been saved.
"I won't let you get away!" A villain shouted as she ran behind them, but slammed into an invisible wall.
Seeing this, Toru was surprised, until Sora spoke, "That's my quirk, Solid Air, I can solidify the air that I breathe out." Finally away from the villains, Sora put her down.
"Are you alright?" Sora asked, making sure that Toru wasn't injured or anything.
"I'm fine… I think I just scrapped my knee and bruised my shoulder." She replied as she got hurt when Salamander threw her.
"I'll look after her." said a voice, making them turn around to see it was Fumiko Tokoyami, and her quirk Dark Shadow.
"Tokoyami! Dark Shadow!" Toru called out in relief, glad to see her classmate and her.
"Hagakure, are you okay?" asked Dark Shadow as the sentient quirk hugged the invisible girl.
"I'm good thanks…" began Toru, but realized that she didn't know the girl's name that helped her.
"I'm Sora Tsuburaba." said with a slight smile. Then seeing there were still a few villains to deal with, she said,
"Tokoyami, can you look after Hagakure whilst my classmates and I take care of the rest of them?" asked Tsuburaba.
"That's fine." said Tokoyami, as Tsuburaba gave a nod as she ran off to help her classmates.
"Out of my way losers!" Tetsutetsu bulldozed her way again and took down a few villains, or made them fly towards Tokoyami, where Dark Shadow knocked them out. Whilst Yui took down the rest of them with the last metal pieces she had.
"It's over now. You lost, so surrender yourself." Yui told Salamander, who was the last woman standing.
However, the older woman just scoffed, "Oh please, do you really think that you snot bag kids have what it takes to defeat me?" she then fired three fireballs towards Yui to which the girl barely managed to dodge.
"Kodai!" Tetsutetsu shouted in distress, concerned about her wellbeing.
"I'm okay…" she said, but gasped as Salamander quickly appeared behind Tetsutetsu and grabbed her by her throat, after she dropped her guard earlier when Salamander shot her fireballs at Yui.
"Don't struggle if you want to live, brat, and if anyone tries something funny, I'll burn him to death." Salamander warned the young woman.
"You coward! Why don't you release him and fight us without using cheap tricks!" Sora shot back in anger.
"Tsk, you kids are really naïve to think that a villain will play fair." the villain scoffed at the young heroes.
"Fool! Didn't you see how my steel completely blocked your pathetic flames, huh?!" Tetsutetsu mocked the villain as she still attempted to struggle.
"I said don't struggle, brat!" The villain warned Tetsutetsu as she placed a hand on the young girl's forehead and activated her quirk, burning Tetsutetsu's face. "You really are an idiot. You don't understand, don't you? Even if your skin is made of metal and protecting you, what would you think would happen to the organs inside if I held you like that and burned you with the full power of my flames? Yes, they'll melt. So, if you don't want me to roast your brain, stay still." the villain continued as she raised the temperature of her flames drastically.
Tetsutetsu gasped in shock as she did indeed feel the heat reaching her brain. She never imagined that Salamander's flames could get this hot. She must have been holding back earlier. It didn't also help that she was almost out of iron.
'Tetsutetsu is almost out of iron. After fighting three mobs of villains without any rest, she was close to her limits. At this rate, she'll be burned to death!' Yui nervously thought as her neutral expression changed into a horrified one.#
'I can feel it through my flames…' Salamander thought to herself. 'They're heavily breathing. They're afraid because her fate is in my hands now.'
Salamander then looked at Toru and Sora and decided to finish them first. The villain opened her mouth wide open.
"Salamander Breath!"She shouted as a big fireball attack started to come out of her mouth.
Tetsutetsu didn't care though, she would gladly risk her life if it's to save her friends. She brought her hand to Salamander's mouth and stopped the villain before she could shoot the fireball at Toru and Tokoyami.
Salamander then freed Tetsutetsu's throat from her grasp as she started to cough after the fireball was fired in her own mouth.
However, the villain also started to raise the temperature of her flames in her hand, as she was going to turn Tetsutetsu's brain into a crisp for pulling that stunt.
"AAAHH!" Tetsutetsu screamed as the heat was unbearable. Instinctively, in the face of death, Tetsutetsu started to use every last bit of iron in her body to harden her forehead, pushing past her limits.
"Tetsutetsu!" Both Sora and Toru cried out. They were concerned about her.
Seeing this, Yui began to panic as she didn't know what to do. She didn't have anything to throw at Salamander. However, just then, she got an idea.
"It's a shame, but it's time for you to die, you shitty brat." Salamander pointed out, finally able to speak again before she got hit by something in the back of her head. It was Yui's hat. "Aaagh! You little bitch!" She growled as he finally let go of Tetsutetsu.
Tetsutetsu then fell on one knee, breathing heavily as most of her body was no longer hardened by her steel. Her head felt terrible as the pain was ringing in her head. She was getting dizzy and she felt like she was going to pass out at any moment now.
"Tetsutetsu, are you alright?" Sora asked.
"I'm fine, if I go down after something like this, then I can't call myself a hero!" Tetsutetsu shouted as she stood up again, despite the terrible headache she currently felt. She was ready to attack Salamander.
Salamander then began to clap her hands. "I commend you for your tenacity, kid, I must say, you've proved yourself to be a real woman. But for how long will you be able to keep that form, huh? Two minutes? One minute?" Salamander said as she was having fun tormenting the kids who took out her group.
Tetsutetsu groaned as her patience grew thin with this woman.
"Since you're going to die anyway and I feel a little generous, I'll tell you more about my quirk." the villain boosted about her quirk, "By creating a spark, I can manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air. When attacking, I raise the density of the oxygen surrounding my target to a level at which it becomes volatile and creates narrow pathways of oxygen between myself and the victim through which I can direct the ensuing flash fire that blossoms from the spark my body produces. As a result, I can incinerate any number of enemies in the field while deftly avoiding any adjacent allies."
Realizing just how dangerous this villain really was, Tetsutetsu decided to do everything she could to take her down as she was the only one who had a chance to do so.
"Now die, kid!" The woman shouted before she fired a Salamander Breath at Tetsutetsu, an attack that was strong enough to melt the asphalt. Tetsutetsu was quickly engulfed in the flames as she made no attempt to dodge. She was barely able to stand on her feet after all.
"Tetsutetsu!" They all shouted, thinking that the Steel Quirk User was done for.
However, the woman of steel decided to endure whatever pain she was feeling right now and ran towards Salamander as fast as she could. She wasn't able to harden all of her body and the pain of her flesh burning was nothing short of painful. But still, she kept moving forward and launched herself towards Salamander. This time, however, she focused her quirk to harden her hand as strong as possible.
"What?! No, no, no! This cannot be!" The villain shouted in panic, as Tetsutetsu finally managed to get close to her.
"Take that, bitch!" Tetsutetsu shouted in rage. She hardened fist which made contact with Salamander's face and managed to break a few of Salamander's teeth along with her nose, effectively knocking her out. Her face became one ugly mess after that punch.
Silence filled the area as the students managed to finally defeat Salamander. Everyone then sighed in relief, before Tetsutetsu spoke.
"We did it… We defeated that bastard…" Tetsutetsu collapsed on the ground, unconscious. She was covered in blood and burns. Her leg was badly burnt, probably suffering second degree burns as well as her right arm. He was severely injured and needed medical attention.
But they managed to take out all of the villains in the Conflagration Zone.
Sora then lifted Tetsutetsu with the help of Yui.
"Come on, let's go." Sora told the rest of them as they began to head towards the zone's exit.
As they got to the exit of the Conflagration Zone, Sora said to the girls from Class 1-A, "Once we get out of here, we should find the male from your class."
"What about Tetsutetsu?" asked Yui, worried about her classmate, "She's badly hurt. We need to take her out of here as soon as possible, and take her to Recovery Girl."
"I understand, but we're talking about a male here," Sora pointed out, "I don't know how he got into the Hero Course or what his quirk is, but whatever the case, I'm sure he's not strong enough to deal with these villains."
Yui could see her classmates' point. It was a known fact that males were weak against most females with quirks that give them extra strength in some sort. So, even if this male had a quirk, she didn't think it could be as strong as the villains here. To deal with All Might, it would be foolish to bring those who were weak. In her books, they only won by the leader's poor planning and luck on their side. So for this male to be able to handle himself against these villains, she didn't know if he could protect himself.
But before Yui could say anything about this, they heard Toru say, "If they were the small fry that you guys faced, as long as he doesn't face someone like the leader of this group, should be able to handle them with ease."
"You really think he could handle these villains on his own?" asked a shocked Sora, "He's just a male though. How can he do such a thing?"
"I understand where you're coming from, but Midoriya is unlike any other male out there." explained Tokoyami, "He is full of dark mystery. His quirk not only allows him to have super strength, but recently his quirk allows him to see people's movements and allow him to copy their fighting style. Or that's what he told us."
"Oh please, and you believe him?" scoffed Sora, "Him having two different abilities? He's just making it up to make himself look good. There's no way a male can have that kind of power when no female has it before."
"I too was sceptical, but we have seen him using his super strength." Hagakure informed the girls from Class 1-B, "And I tell you, his strength is nothing to laugh at. He could handle most low level villains without getting hurt. As for his ability to see movement and copying fighting styles, whilst we haven't seen it in action yet, we saw his eyes changing colour, which is the sign of him activating this power."
"What if he faces a villain like the leader we just faced?" asked a concerned Yui, "Would you get hurt if he faces them?"
"Yes, he would get hurt, but not because of the villain attacking him, not fully anyway." explained Hagakure.
"Yeah, his quirk would do that for him." Dark Shadow informed the other girls.
"What are you talking about?" asked Sora.
"Well, you see, Midoriya's quirk is a stockpiling kind." explained Hagakure, "This meant like every other male, he believed that he was quirkless. He only found out that he had a quirk ten months before the Entrance Exam, where he was training and the quirk appeared out of nowhere. Over the months later, he found out it was a Stockpiling Quirk that took a while to reveal itself. As of now, he can only use about five percent of his power, if he uses any more than five percent, his body begins to break down and so hurting himself."
"So you're saying that as he learns to control his powers, he'll get even much stronger?" asked a shocked Sora, shocked that the first male quirk user would have such a power. She thought that if a male ever got a quirk, it would be something weak, not something strong. But this quirk this male had, it sounded as if it was powerful and it had two abilities. She and Yui didn't know what to think about this.
"It would seem so." said Hagakure.
"It doesn't hurt that he is hot." smirked Dark Shadow, something that most of Class 1-A thought but wasn't willing to say out loud.
"Dark Shadow." Tokoyami and Hagakure said together in embarrassment. Embarrassed that the quirk would say such a thing. Whilst the girls from Class 1-B only meet the male quirk user, they too had to admit that the young male was somewhat good looking.
But Yui knew that they couldn't think much about this right now. The U.S.J was still under attack, and her classmate was hurt. The first thing that they had to do was to see if Thirteen can help them, if not, hide until help arrived.
"We can talk about Midoriya, his powers and looks later on. We have more important matters to deal with first." said Yui, making the rest of the group get back to the point at hand. "We need to leave here before these villains get back up and get Tetsutetsu some help or somewhere to hide until help can get to us."
The girls realized that Yui was right, they had to get from here before the villains woke up. So, with that, the five girls left to search for help or a place to hide.

Ruins Zone:
The next zone that we come to is the Ruins Zone. This zone simulates a destroyed urban environment, with buildings found in precarious conditions. This zone was designed to simulate areas that had earthquirks, or aftermaths of bombings, or when villains with giant-like quirks go on a rampage. Normally, students would have to deal with finding civilians or fighting villains who might be taking advantage of the situation at hand.
But right now, real villains has appeared in the area and we find two students from Class 1-A were fighting them. The two students were Katsumi Bakugou and Eiko Kirishima, and they were in a building fight the villains.
"DIE!" Bakugou shouted as she fired an explosion and took out two villains at the same time.
Meanwhile, Kirishima, who had hardened her arms, managed to take out a villain too.
Both of them panted as it looked like they took down a large group on their own. "Is that all of them? They're so weak." Bakugou pointed out. The moment the two of them were teleported to this zone, they were attacked by the villains waiting for them. They didn't have a moment to think about what was going on. All they could do was fight off the villains. Right now, it would seem that the two of them were able to defeat all the villains in the zone."
"All right. Let's hurry up and go save the others! If we're here, then everyone else should be inside U.S.J, too." Kirishima said as she was concerned about the safety of her classmates. "Besides because we ran off ahead, we slowed Thirteen down. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that fog, then this wouldn't have happened!" Kirishima added in frustration as she was ashamed of herself. "As women, we have to take responsibility for what we did!"
"If you want to go, then go by yourself! I'm gonna kill that warp gate." Bakugou angrily said as she hated the fact that she couldn't defeat Kurogiri at the start of all this.
"What? You're gonna act childish at a time like this? Besides, that guy's attacks are-" Kirishima began with a hint of anger, thinking that going back to defeat Kurogiri was more important than saving the others for Bakugou.
"Shut up! That gate bitch is the enemy's in and out. I'm gonna cut off their gateway route for when the time comes. It's not like we don't have a way to fight the fog." Bakugou replied, having enough of Kirishima's rambling. At the same time, a villain with an invisibility Quirk was trying to sneak up on her and jumped at her once she got close enough.
"Stop your chit-chatting! Since you've let your guard down-" the villain began, but Bakugou caught her by her head and fired an explosion. The villain was clearly wrong about Bakugou lowering her guard.
"Anyway, if these small fries are the ones assigned to us, pretty much everyone'll be fine, right?" Bakugou added.
"That reaction time was amazing…" Kirishima murmured to herself as she was amazed by Bakugou's skills. "Anyway, were you always so calm and rational?" She asked, shocked at how Bakugou was acting. "I thought you were more like—DIE! DIE! DIE!"
"I'M ALWAYS CALM AND RATIONAL, YOU SPIKY-HAIRED PUNK!" Bakugou shot back.
"Oh yeah, that's more like it." Kirishima said with smirk.
"Hmph. Then go if you want to!" Bakugou said as he threw the villain away.
"Wait! Wait! Believing in our friends! That's really womanly Bakugou! I'll follow you!" Kirishima said as she hardened her arms again. Then a thought came to her and with a smirk, she asked, "Oh does it mean that you trust Midoriya not to get hurt? He is just a male after all."
Bakugou growled at this as she said, "As, as much as I hate to admit it, with how he is, if the villains were like these guys, he'll have no problems dealing with them."
Kirishima just smirked at this, knowing how much Bakugou hated to admit this. But she did like how Bakugou was acting shy and awkward about this. But seeing this smirk, Bakugou said with a scowl, "D, don't get me wrong, he still shouldn't be a hero, as not all villains are as useless as these guys. He won't be able to handle them."
"If you say so, Bakugou, if you say so." Kirishima said with a sly smile, "Whatever the case, let's find that Wrap Gate villain and take her out."
Bakugou just grunted at this, as Kirishima smiled knowing that although she acted as she didn't, the other girl really did care about the male. Even if she wasn't willing to admit it. Whatever the case, they left the place to search for the Wrap Gate villain.

Central Plaza:
Finally, for this chapter, we find ourselves in the Central Plaza. This is the central area of U.S.J where it connects to the simulation area's as well as the main entrance. In this area, we find multiple bodies laid across the area as Aizawa and Vlad kept on dealing with all of the minions that stood in their way. After tying up two people with his scarf and knocking them out, Aizawa looked up to see Tomura Shigaraki charging straight for him with his right hand.
"Twenty-three seconds… " Shigaraki said as he ran towards Aizawa.
"Final boss?!" Aizawa said as he threw his long scarf towards him in an attempt to immobilise him.
"Twenty-four seconds… twenty seconds… seventeen seconds… "
Aizawa attempted to elbow Shigaraki in the chest, but was blocked at the last second as Shigaraki held Aizawa's elbow in a tight grip.
"Damn." Aizawa cursed as she realized her attack was stopped.
"It's hard to see because you keep moving around, but there's an instant where your hair falls." Shigaraki began as Aizawa widened his eyes. They were red and dry due to using her Quirk too much.
"That's when you have deactivated your Quirk. And the space in between has gotten shorter and shorter. Don't push yourself, Eraser Head." Tomura finished as the skin of Aizawa's elbow tore apart, revealing a gory red blood bone as cracks appeared throughout the skin of her right arm.
Aizawa jumped away from Shigaraki as she felt the pain in her right elbow. "My elbow's crumbling!"
The fodder villains took this as an opportunity to get the jump on Aizawa. But luckily, the Pro Hero dodged all of their attacks. Her breathing was heavy as the fatigue of fighting a big group for a long period of time, finally took its toll on her.
"That quirk of your isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group, is it?" the leader of the villains asked with a smirk, believing that she now got the upperhand in this fight. "Isn't this too different from your usual job? What you're good at is a short fight after a surprise attack, right? Even so, you jumped right in to fight us from the front. Was that to put your students at ease?" Shigaraki exclaimed as she taunted Aizawa, who was able to take care of the other villains who tried to ambush her even with one arm.
"Aizawa!" Vlad Queen shouted, as she charged towards her fellow teacher, but was blocked by the green monster.
"You're so cool… you're so cool… by the way, Eraser Head, you're wrong… I'm not the final boss." Shigaraki said with a hint of malice in her voice, proved by the evil smile on her face.
Aizawa gasped as she turned her head to see the huge black coloured villain with an exposed brain right behind. It moved so fast that Aizawa never even heard it make a sound.
"Those two are… Nomus. And they're the ones you really need to worry about. Not me." Shigaraki said as the Black Nomu brought its claws down towards Aizawa.
Aizawa tried to erase the Black Nomu's Quirk, but it didn't seem to have any effect as the Black Nomu still brought its hand down and pushed Aizawa to the ground and smashed her head. It broke Aizawa's arm, who shrieked in pain.
"You can erase quirks. That's wonderful, but it's nothing impressive in the face of overwhelming power. You might as well be quirkless." Shigaraki mocked the Erasure Hero with a vicious smile.
Meanwhile, Vlad Queen was now facing the Green Nomu.
"Get out of my way!" Vlad Queen shouted as she tried to punch the Green Nomu with a blood hardened fist. However, the Green Nomu was able to easily catch her fist. "That's not a problem." Vlad Queen said with a hint of confidence. Her blood then shot from her hand and started to engulf the Nomu's arms and restrained it. Vlad Queen smiled as she thought that she managed to take out the Nomu, but felt a sudden pain in her hand.
She stepped back and pulled back her hand. She looked at it and found it injured, covered in cuts and blood. "How's this possible?" Vlad Queen questioned. She looked at the restrained Nomu, but the hardened blood was immediately shattered, and what she saw shocked her. She saw sharp bones coming out of the Nomu's arms.
Seeing Vlad's shocked expression, Shigaraki began to laugh like a psychopath, "You know Vlad, I wanted to test this Nomu specifically against you. I wanted to see how your Blood Control will fare against his Bones Control. So please, make it entertaining as long as you can." Shigaraki sinisterly said.
Something's wrong, a Quirk like that one shouldn't be strong at all. In fact, it should hurt the monster when its bones pierce its muscles and skin like that. Also, it should also have a limit as to how many bones it could use just like her blood. But then why… why was their leader so confident in its abilities?
Suddenly, the Nomu pointed its fingers towards Vlad, and started to shoot its sharp long claws at the hero. Vlad made a blood shield, but unfortunately for her, the sharp claws shattered the shield and pierced her body.
"Tsk, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. I am sure you didn't slack off in your science class, but let me tell you something." Shigaraki began with a mocking tone. "When I said that Green Nomu can control his bones, I meant every bone in its body. It can also shape it and mould its bones however it likes. So please, please show me your best Hero, my Nomu here is really eager to fight." Tomura taunted the Blood Hero, proud by her Nomu's work.
Vlad Queen stood up and charged at the Nomu, whose claws came out of its knuckles this time. Vlad Queen hardened her fists with her blood and broke the Nomu's claws, only for them to quickly regenerate and almost pierce its side. Luckily for Vlad, she managed to evade the attack just in time, before uppercutting the Nomu. However, the Nomu did manage to scratch her side and tear the side of her costume.
Despite her injuries and the blood loss, Vlad tried to restrain the Nomu by shooting her blood and hardening it to effectively immobilise the Nomu, but the monster managed to break free with its brute strength and claws. It also seems like the claws became much sharper, longer and stronger than before.
"It's no use Vlad. Each time you break its bones, they'll grow stronger." Tomura pointed out, with a vicious smirk.
"I have to admit, its stronger than I suspected, but can it get past this?" Vlad decided to harden her upper body with her blood. Something that usually put a strain on her, but as things were right now, she had no other choice. She charged at the Nomu again and dodged its claws before she caught its arm and flipped it over, which was an incredible feat, considering the monster's weight. Having no intention to stop here, Vlad hardened her leg with her blood and tried to land a devastating kick to the Nomu's chest.
However, to her surprise, the Nomu's thoracic cage bones came out and protected it like a shield. Vlad was shell shocked to see that the bones didn't even break under her attack.
"Aaaghh!" The Nomu impaled Vlad's thighs with two rods of bones that came out of its wings, causing her to shriek in pain.
The Nomu then stood up again in front of Vlad and caught her in a monster hug, before Vlad felt her body being pierced everywhere by sharp bones.
"How? How is he able to use his bones like this…?" Vlad said as she fell on the ground, with a puddle of her blood forming underneath her. "Taking them out of its body like they were disposable, and even when… even when I broke them, it never felt any pain."
"You see Vlad, Bones Control isn't the only Quirk Green Nomu has. It also has Bones Regeneration and Bones Hardening. Combine those with his Bones Control and you get the perfect combination. Unlike you who can only fight short battles so that you don't lose a lot of blood, this Nomu can fight endless battles." Tomoko Shigaraki said before giving the fallen Hero one last malicious laugh.
"You w-won't… get aw-away -" The Hero passed out.
"Vlad! Vlad!" Aizawa shouted, concerned about Vlad's condition.
Aizawa's eyes turned red as she activated her quirk again and stared straight at Black Nomu, attempting to erase its quirk again. But just like last time, the Black Nomu was completely unaffected and snapped Aizawa's other arm as she grunted in pain.
'It's like its breaking a stick… I'm sure I erased its quirk.' Aizawa thought to herself, 'That means this monster is just that powerful naturally. It might be as strong as All Might!'
Here the Black Nomu picked the hero's head up and smashed into the ground, creating cracks in the concrete, and inflicting even more damage as the battle was completely one sided. Shortly after, it dislocated Aizawa's broken arm, causing her to yell out in pain.
Aizawa didn't know what to think. She believed that all hope was lost and that her students would be next. And there was very little she could do but hope that the teachers back at U.A realized what was going on and get her soon. Little did she know, but there was one last hope there and they would save her and Vlad.
To Be Continued!
Author's Note: Here ends the next chapter of The Armour Hero, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. If you did, could you please spend a few moments to leave a feedback and let me know what you thought of this chapter, as the feedback does help. Wanted to post this sooner, other than losing track of time, but personal life is getting in the way. So forgive me for taking so long to update.
As you have seen, other than changing Tsuburaba's first name, I've also altered her hair and her hero costume too. If you haven't guessed, the costume comes from Kingdom Heart as well as the name.
Once again, I would like to thank MrAuthor18 for allowing me to use part of his story for mine. I would like to ask, out of courtesy of him allowing me to use their work, if you could go to his story, Deku: The Sharingan Hero and give it a read. Whilst I haven't finished it yet, from what I can remember, it is a decent read. So you might like it too.
I'll be honest, with me being a slow writer and having learning problems, I don't know when my updates for my other stories will be. So, unless you see them updated, think of them abandoned. I'm hoping to finish and/or update a few of them, but I can't promise anything. I'm sorry about this, but I thought I would let you know what is going on with them.
Before you leave, I still would like help with naming eight males from Class 1-B. I'm still asking about this as I would like a few ideas to pick from before deciding on a name. I hope you can help me.
