Chapter Summary: In this fourth part of the U.S.J chapters, we'll see Izuku, take on the villains so that his classmates could escape.
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 Nine…
(U.S.J - Part 4)
Mountain Zone:
We begin our next chapter within the Mountain Zone. This zone simulates a rocky, mountainous area filled with cliffs, so that the students could learn how to rescue people in such areas. Sure, most heroes wouldn't need to deal with such places, but at U.A, they believed in teaching students everything that they could think of. As you wouldn't know when or where a hero would be needed.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Izuku cried out as he came out of the portal, and found himself falling in the air until he hit the ground. "Ouch! That hurt!"
He stood up and quickly began looking around him. It didn't take him much time to figure out that he landed in the Mountain Zone.
'A warp? Is that her quirk? They want to kill All Might? What in the world is going on?' Izuku thought, as many questions popped in his head, if he wasn't in danger, part of him wanted to nerd out about the Warp Gate Quirk. They were one of the rarest of quirks in the world, they allowed someone to teleport a person to another spot. Depending how powerful the quirk was, you might be able to teleport a good distance. It was even believed you could teleport across the world if the quirk was powerful enough, but no one was sure about it.
However, before he could allow himself to go off in his own thoughts, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Midoriya, so you were sent here too." Ojiro said, relieved that he found one of his classmates.
"Y, yeah, I think that mi, mist villain scattered us into small groups, a, and each group must have landed in one of the rescue zones." Izuku said thoughtfully as he thought about it. It made sense for that to happen if everyone isn't here too. "W, we must find the others and regroup."
Ojiro nodded and the two teens began searching for their classmates. Both of them were anxious about this whole thing and wanted to quickly find them before it's too late Bakugou and
"You know, the villains made a great mistake attacking us." Ojiro pointed out as she cracked her knuckles, ready for some action. "Whilst I'm no sloth in fighting, we have guys like Bakugou and Todoroki."
"Y, you're, even I, I can help with my st, strength." said Izuku, he didn't think he could win on his own, but with others to help with the other, there might be a chance. But the main problem was the villains at the Center Plaza. So he went on to say, "However, we, we can't underestimate the villains who were at the Center Plaza. M, more importantly the mist villain too. It, it seems like she can warp us anywhere. But for now, let's find the others, they're our priority right now." Izuku exclaimed, still worried about the two villains who looked like Frankenstein duplicates more than anything.
"You're right. Let's go check this way." Ojiro replied, as she pointed to the direction where all the noise was coming from.
Izuku and Ojiro descended from a cliff and found Momo, with two of the students from Class 1-B fighting some villains. Izuku immediately activated One for All Full Cowl at 7%, along with his Sharingan before he and Ojiro jumped into action.
Izuku leaped into the air and flipped forward to deliver an axe kick to the back of a villain's head, knocking her out effectively.
"Manchester Smash!"
He was followed by Ojiro who spun and swung her tail, knocking down another villain. Both of them were making quite a big entrance.
"Midoriya! Ojiro! You're both here." Momo said with a hint of relief. She was glad that two of her classmates came to help.
"I, I'm glad you guys are okay." Izuku exclaimed, happy to know that his peers were fine.
"I see… So, this is Midoriya that I've been hearing about. The first male Quirk User." said Awase, not impressed at what she was looking at. "He doesn't look all that if you ask me. Are you sure he has a quirk?"
Yona Awase had long black hair, spiked upwards and backward to her left, and rounded grey eyes, tilted inwards. She wore a wide, striped patterned headband around her forehead, pulled down quite low, to keep her hair out of her eyes.
Her costume consisted of a burgundy, baggy, full bodysuit, its collar passing her chin. She also wore shoulder pads and a bag on her belt in which he kept various items, including blocks of wood and metal to aid her quirk. Her quirk was called Weld. Her quirk allows her to fuse objects at an atomic level, although she needs to be touching both objects in order to fuse them. Her quirk is effective on both organic and inorganic material.
"I'm glad that he punished the sinners." Shiozaki simply replied.
Ibara Shiozaki was a girl of medium height with green, thorn-covered vines for hair, one set wrapped around her forehead a couple of times. She kept her vines at a reasonably manageable length: just above her waist. Her eyes are squinted and dark green with long lower eyelashes. Her quirk was called Vines. This is the reason that her hair looked like vines. She can lengthen and manipulate the vines, allowing her to attack, defend, and grapple. She also can detach them at will. The vines will grow back, provided her head receives proper sunlight and water.
Her costume consisted of a plain white robe and black knee-high boots.
"Guys, I, I know the Mist Villain's weak, weakness. If we manage to defeat the, the villains who're here, we'll be able to tell the others a, about it. Then we, we can escape and call for, for support." Izuku told them his next move. The students were all surprised that the male in front of them, whilst shy and was shuttering, had already figured out the mist villain's weakness. They were definitely impressed by his analytical skills. "Also, Yaoyorozu, can you make me a metallic staff like the one you have?"
"Sure." Momo replied, as she proceeded to create a staff out of her arm.
"Thanks, I, I prefer not to use m, my full power too often." Izuku told Momo as he took the newly made staff from Momo. Izuku learned how to use the basics of a staff from his kickboxing teacher, Mitsui. As she knew that not everything could be beaten with feet or fist, that you would need a weapon to win. So, she taught him how to use a staff.
"If you can fight with a quirk, why would you need a weapon?" asked Shiozaki.
"If, if I use my quirk at, at full power, my, my body breaks down." explained the young male hero, "So to help m, me in this fight, I, I'll be using a staff so I have to use to, too much power."
"How lame." scoffed Awase.
"Back off!" snapped Ojiro, defending her classmate, "If you want to know, his quirk is a stockpile quirk, and he only got it about a year before starting U.A. So, unlike the rest of us, he had very little time to train with it. So of course he'll have problems with it. How far would you gotten with your quirk if you only got it a few months before starting U.A?"
"She's right Awase," Shiozaki told her classmate, "you should repent for saying such things. And if the Lord deemed Midoriya worthy of the gift of a quirk, who are we to question this?"
Awase grinded her teeth at this. She only knew Shiozaki for a few days, but she knew that her classmate was a religious nut. So much so that Shiozaki was already getting on her nerves with her religious talk. But because she was her classmate, Awase said nothing, as she had three years to spend with her and she might need her help one day. So, it would be better not to say anything about it for now.
"Still, even if he has a quirk, it would be too dangerous to fight these villains." Awase pointed out. She wasn't sure if they had what it takes to beat these villains. After all, they were still freshmen. And one of them was a male who had no control of his quirk.
But before anyone could say anything, they heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them.
"Look over there ladies! There are five kids." a villain pointed out, as they came near. Then upon seeing the male, they add, with a lewd expression on her face, "Oh look at this, one of them is a male, lucky us. We can easily kill those females and have fun with the male."
"Today seems to be our day, we get to kill All Might, and have some fun." The other villain added.
"Look at his body, it's screaming rape me and his costume isn't leaving much for imagination." Another villain added. She licked her lips, as if she was a predator who had found her prey. The five students gave them a look of utter disgust at how disgusting those villains were.
"Like I'll let you!" Izuku yelled as he jumped and smacked the villain on his head with the staff. Not wanting to be the plaything to these villains. He then saw another villain closing in from the corner of his eyes and kicked her in the head without losing his momentum.
The other villain, who looked like a crocodile more than a human, tried to close in on Izuku and attack him, but a white blur quickly came in front of Izuku. It was Ojiro, who punched the Villain in the guts, knocking the air out of her lungs, before finishing her with a roundhouse kick, knocking her out.
Awase then proceeded to use her quirk to glue the knocked down villains to the ground. "At least this way we'll be sure that they won't fucking move anymore."
A villain with a camouflage quirk, tried to sneak up on Ojiro, but was immediately wrapped up in Ibara's vines. She then used her vines to slam the villain into another villain.
Honestly, with Izuku and Ojiro at the front, Awase glueing the villains together, immobilising them, and Ibara and Momo providing support with Momo's cannon and Ibara's vines. They made quick work of the villains.
"Damn, I can't believe it, this male has some skill." Awase admitted in shock. She couldn't believe that someone like Midoriya could do so well.
What they didn't know was that there was still a villain left, one who had a lightning type quirk. She was hiding, waiting for the moment they would drop their guard. And once they defeated her comrades, she made herself known and appeared from behind Izuku, hoping to take him hostage.
"Midoriya watch-" The four students tried to warn Izuku, but they were cut off once Izuku hit the villain in her stomach with his staff. This was thanks to the Sharingan still being active. Thanks to this, Izuku was able to see the blue energy coming off the villain, so he was able to hit the villain in her stomach. He followed this with swinging the staff into the villain's face, which knocked her out. It wasn't perfect, sure he could copy skills, but it would take time to master them as if they were second nature to him.
"That was close." said Ojiro, glad that her classmate was okay, "Although, I didn't know you knew how to use a staff."
"W, will, my kickboxer teacher, a, allowed me to copy her abilities to help me f, fight better." admitted Izuku, "But it, it'll take some time before I, I can master to make it my, my own."
"What do you mean by copy?" asked Awase.
"Other, other than giving me super strength, my, my quirk allows me to r, read and copy other peoples fighting st, style." Izuku informed Awase. "B, but I need to gain ex, experience to make it my, my own though."
Awase and Shiozaki were shocked to hear that Izuku could copy a person's fighting style. They hadn't heard of such an ability. They weren't sure what to think. Sure it sounds like a useful ability, but it would mean that he could copy their fighting styles and make it his own. For Shiozaki, it was too much like stealing, something she didn't agree with on the basis of the eighth commandment: Thou Shalt Not Steal. But at the same time, if the person was willing to allow Midoriya to copy their skill, who was she to say anything?
As for Awase, she wasn't sure what to feel. It seems unfair for a male to have such a quirk, one that gives superstrength and the ability to copy fighting style. She wished she had such a quirk and not some male. She felt it would be wasted on him, that it would be better in the hands of a female.
"Everyone, I think we should leave and go to the U.S.J entrance to help the others defeat that mist villain." Momo said, interrupting the thoughts of the girls from Class 1-B. Now that they have defeated all the villains in the Mountain Zone.
"Wait! I, I want to go to the Central Plaza f, first. I want to check if o, our teachers are okay." Izuku objected. He was worried ever since he saw that those strange monsters had strange quirk energies. Something was telling him that his teachers might be in trouble. He might have just gotten the ability, but he could tell that this isn't natural and whatever is up with these villains/monsters, they were more dangerous than anyone can suspect. That people were in danger and he wanted to make sure his teachers were okay, even if he was scared.
"But Midoriya, the main villains are there, they are not like these minions. We'll be getting ourselves in danger and possibly killed. Let's leave it to the Pros and focus on saving our classmates." Ojiro interjected, trying to reason with her classmate. Sure, she felt confident defeating any of those small fries any day, but the villains at the Plaza were on a whole other level. One that U.A can't prepare you to face in a single week. Heck even Izuku said earlier not to engage them, so what was he thinking now?
"He's right, our teachers will punish the sinners. It's dangerous for us to go." Ibara agreed with Ojiro.
"I, I know, but there are two villains who have multiple quirks there. Something is fishy, and I think it's bigger than either of our teachers. I mean think about it, they want to kill All Might. Surely, they didn't plan an attack like this just to lose to a bunch of students and two Pro Heroes." Izuku argued, worried about how strong those monsters could be. "And besides, I'm sure our classmates can easily take on these goons too. The real danger is out there and we're close to them. We can reach them."
"Multiple quirks? How do you know that?" asked Awase.
"I, I recently found out my quirk also allows me to know who has a quirk and where it is activated." explained Izuku, "And w, whilst this power just a, awoke in me, every in me is, t, telling me that they have m, multiple quirks."
This concerned the students. Seeing how they didn't know how Izuku's quirk worked, they didn't know if this was true or not. But seeing how worried the male was, they had to believe that he believed the risk was real.
"Okay, we can go and see how they're doing, but we can't intervene. If they truly are at risk, we run and get help somehow." Momo replied, thinking that a little look won't do them any harm. However, she would soon realize that this was a big mistake.
"Well, if you put it that way, I guess we can." Awase nervously replied, still hesitant about this whole thing. In the end, everyone agreed and Izuku was glad that he'll get the chance to check on his teachers.
o0OoO0o
Central Plaza:
As Izuku and his classmates arrived at the Central Plaza, they discovered that Izuku's deduction was unfortunately on the spot. Vlad Queen was lying in a pool of her own blood, unconscious, while Aizawa was yelling in pain as her right shoulder was being dislocated by the big black monster.
Seeing this, the students felt shivers being sent down their spines. They were consumed by their fear. Not sure what to do. They wanted to run, but their feet wouldn't listen to them. They were stuck where they were.
Izuku on the xwx e decided to keep hiding with them and not blow their cover.
However, much to their surprise, the Purple Mist Villain, Kurogiri suddenly appeared besides Tomoko.
"Tomoko Shigaraki" Kurogiri called, getting said man's attention.
"Kurogiri, did you kill Thirteen?" asked Shigaraki.
"I put Thirteen out of action, but there were students that I was unable to disperse of, and one of them was able to escape and made a run to the school." Kurogiri pointed out, referring to Tenya who was able to escape the U.S.J and call for help from the Pros.
"Huh?" Tomoko began to angrily scratch her neck. "Kurogiri… you… If you weren't our warp gate and our ride out of here, I would've crushed you to pieces!" Tomoko said with a hint of anger. She was pissed off as she realized that the Pros would be soon coming here to rescue those here. It just made their situation a lot more complicated.
The hiding students, however, were happy to hear this.
'This means that backup is on their way!' Izuku happily thought as now the situation has turned to their favour. There was still hope.
Tomoko sighed as she stopped scratching her neck, "We can't win against dozens of Pros. It is game over. Let's go home."
"Wow, our classmates were really able to defeat that Mist Villain and call for backup." Momo commented, happy to know that she has such powerful classmates.
"Did he say they're going home? Is this really the end?" Awase asked, hoping for the best.
"That's what I heard them saying." Ibara replied as everyone was starting to relax and smile, now that the villains were leaving. Izuku, however, didn't buy it.
Izuku felt that something was fishy, so he kept his Sharingan activated just in case. After all of this, they're going home? Just like that?
'No, something's wrong.' Izuku thought.
Shigaraki turned her head a little, "Oh, yeah. Before we leave, let's smash some of her pride… "
In the blink of an eye, Tomoko ran towards the five hiding students at transonic speeds, with her hand aimed straight for Momo's face.
Izuku could only watch this in fear as he was only able to track Shigaraki's speed thanks to his Sharingan. However, he had no idea if he was going to reach Momo before Shigaraki did.
"… as the Symbol of Peace!" Shigaraki continued with pure malice in her voice.
However, as she was stretching her arm to decay Momo's face, Izuku appeared in a flash.
"Detroit Smash!"
Izuku shouted before punching Tomoko right in the face, sending her flying a couple of metres away. Shigaraki didn't even know what hit her, and soon she hit the ground head first with a loud thud and lost consciousness.
"Shigaraki!" Kurogiri called out her master's name.
Seeing their collapsed master's form, the monster duo went to check on her and totally ignored the kids.
Speaking of them, the other four students were all stunned by Izuku's speed. None of them were able to see him moving… However, once they snapped out of their gaze, they realized what kind of trouble they were in now. Their presence was made known and there was no telling what was going to happen to them now.
Izuku felt a little pain in his hand, the same one he used to punch Shigaraki.
'I lost control and went to 15% for a second there, but if I hadn't done that, he would've probably hurt Momo.' Izuku thought to himself as he then looked and noticed that the two huge monsters were going towards their unconscious master. 'This is our chance!' He looked at his panicked classmates, they were too terrified to even move. 'Think Izuku, think! What should I do now? What would All Might do?' Izuku asked himself, but he quickly got his answer.
Izuku stood tall in front of his classmates, shielding them. "Everything is fine now! Why? Because I'M HERE!" Izuku said with a smile, trying his best to imitate his mentor and losing his stutter so that the other students wouldn't feel too afraid either.
It didn't mean he wasn't afraid not at all, because he was, very much so. But the thing is, his classmates needed someone to look up to in this moment of disaster and fear. They needed someone who wasn't afraid and could do what was needed, a true hero. And with the ones unconscious and the others who knew where, he knew he had to step up seeing how no one else was doing so.
This immediately succeeded in calming down his classmates and reassuring them that everything was going to be alright.
"Everyone, let's go save Sensei Aizawa and Sensei Vlad and get out of here!" Izuku shouted as his eyes were burning with determination. His intimidating Sharingan was doing an excellent job showing his conviction and sheer will as well as freezing Kurogiri in her place, who was already panicking as she had no idea what to do now.
However, they didn't know that the battle had just started…
"Yes!" Izuku's classmates responded with a hint of relief, now that the situation was turning in their favour.
"Ojiro grab Sensei Vlad, Awase you grab Sensei Aizawa, Momo and Ibara go with them to the Entrance, regroup with the others." Izuku said with a hint of authority.
"But what about you, Midoriya?" Momo asked, concerned about her classmate.
"We can't leave you behind." Awase added, "You're just a male."
"Yes a male. A male with super strength and ability to track his opponent's movements. Can you say that?" Izuku snapped at the female. At this moment, he couldn't deal with the bias against males, lives were at risk and it seemed as if no one else was doing anything about it. So, he had to step up to the mark and do something. "I'll slow down the Mist Villain. Don't worry, I know his weakness and I'll catch up to you in no time. I got you in this mess in the first place, so it's only right for me to stay."
The females were shocked at how Izuku was now acting. He lost his stutter, had confidence and was talking with authority. Something that was there before, and they had to wonder what changed.
Ojiro looked at Izuku for a moment, and seeing the look on his face, she knew that he wasn't going to change his mind. So, instead, she said "You better come back."
"I promise. Now, go!" Izuku said before giving her a thumbs up.
Ojiro and Awase carried their teachers and began to run with Ibara to the Entrance. Momo was about to do so, but Izuku stopped her.
"Yaoyorozu, I need you to create a sword, a sharp and sturdy one." Izuku requested. This was another skill that he copied from Mitsui, but unlike with the staff, she only knew the bair basics and that's what he copied. Whilst he didn't want to use a sword with just the basics, he knew that he would need more than the staff to deal with them. So, he was forced to take this path.
Momo had an uneasy look, still hesitant about leaving Izuku alone, but if this is how she can help him, then so be it. With the type of quirk that he had, she would only be in the way. This was the least she could do to help her classmate. WIth that in mind, created the sword and handed it to him.
"Thank you, now go." Izuku told her.
Momo then followed the other three students.
Izuku then turned to face Kurogiri. He wasn't going to let the Mist Villain go anywhere near his friends.
"I see you want to play Hero, huh?" Kurogiri mocked the male upon seeing this and realzing that she couldn't allow them to escape. What she didn't realize was that she was clearly underestimating the young male. He might be tame, but for his classmates, he would do whatever he could to protect them.
"Much more than you want to play as a villain." Izuku shot back, "Look around you, this game is over. The Pros are coming, your leader is down. Give up now, it will be better if you retreat."
"Indeed, you're right." admitted the villain, before going on to say, "However, my master here has a short temper, and I'm sure she'll be more than happy if I at least manage to capture the one who messed up her fun. More so seeing as you're our secondary target."
"Come at me and try your luck then." Izuku replied, taunting the villain. This is something that he learned during watching videos on the site Hero Hub. Whilst not all villains would fall for it, but a lot of villains would fall for taunts and act in ways they wouldn't if they were thinking straight.
Kurogiri charged at Izuku, thinking that Izuku was just your normal cocky and arrogant child with a strong physical enhancement quirk. More so seeing how he was a male, as she knew a lot of them were like this. But unfortunately for her, she was wrong as Izuku immediately jumped and grabbed the metal piece hanging in her body. He held her down, much to the villain's surprise who didn't expect Izuku to know about her weakness. After all, she was doing a much better job hiding it this time.
"What? How?!" Kurogiri questioned in confusion. Her weakness was exploited once again.
"My eyes here see through everything. From the moment you appeared in front of us at the Entrance, I saw that metal piece you were hiding within your mist." Izuku informed the villain.
"I see, I underestimated your quirk and judgement." Kurogiri replied as she acknowledged Izuku's skills. "Even more so thinking that you were as foolish as most males that I've dealt with."
"I also know that the key to your plan to kill All Might are these two, am I right?" Izuku asked, as he pointed towards the two monster-like villains.
"Indeed, but what will you do about them, you can't possibly defeat them. Your teachers tried and are barely alive now." smirked the villain.
"I don't need to. I already know that they were part of an experiment." this was an out and out lie, he didn't know this, but his gut was telling him something was up and an experiment was the only thing that made sense. So he bluffed the best he could and hope to buy some time for his teachers to get here. "Not only that, but they are programmed to protect your boss here if she's unconscious. So, as long as I am holding you here and not attacking her, I should be fine. Give up now, you lost Villains." Izuku said and intimidated the villain with his Sharingan power to strike fear in him.
"So young and naïve, look over there." Kurogiri smiled darkly.
Izuku looked at Shigaraki and saw that she was getting back up.
'What the -' Izuku thought to himself in shock at what he was seeing, '15% should have been enough to keep her unconscious for a while, hopeful the whole day or something. This is not good, the Pros should arrive in a few minutes, but someone should hold them until then.'
He realized it was too early to celebrate.
Shigaraki began scratching her neck before saying, "You moved well back then. Your smash. Are you a follower of All Might's?" She questioned in a very angry tone.
"Yes, I'm going to become the Greatest Hero, just like her." Izuku replied with a hint of defiance.
Tomoko began to laugh at this. "You, becoming the Greatest Hero, please, don't make me laugh, like that's going to happen. You're just a lossless male." the leader of the villains told the young male darkly, "
I was planning on killing you either way. But now, I'll make sure to make it as painful as possible." Tomoko replied as she was now pissed. After all, he hated All Might's very existence. Sure her master wanted this male alive, and maybe she would have caught the male alive. But now that he said he wanted to be like All Might, and be the next Great Hero. He had to die. "Green Nomu, kill him."
The Green Nomu charged at Izuku with its claws, trying to pierce the young man in his chest. But Izuku dodged the attack and delivered an uppercut to the monster's chin. The Nomu fell on its back and Izuku stepped on its claws, breaking his bones, only for them to regenerate again.
"I see… the Bones Control and Bones Regeneration are his Quirks." Izuku pointed out. He didn't exactly know what his quirks were per se, but he knew that the monster had multiple quirks.
"Oh, we have a perceptive student here, call me impressed. Especially for a male." Tomoko sarcastically mocked Izuku, "But even if you know about its quirks, what are you going to do about it, brat?"
"Well, I'll break its bones until it can no longer regenerate them." Izuku replied. He was sure that there must be some kind of limit to the monster's Bones Regeneration Quirk.
The Green Nomu stood up and started to shoot its long sharp claws from it fingers, but Izuku was able to dodge them easily and deflect some of them with his sword, thanks to the Sharingan.
"I see, those eyes of his." Kurogiri murmured as she started to understand what Izuku meant by his eyes could see everything.
"What's wrong Kurogiri?" Shigaraki asked.
"I think that the boy may have two quirks, or maybe a combined one." explained the mist villain as she looked at the young male, "At first glance, you can see that he has a physical enhancement quirk, but then how is he keep predicting the Nomu's attacks? How did he discover my weakness immediately? His eyes are not normal." Kurogiri deduced.
"I can see that his eyes are not normal, but having multiple quirks? Is that even possible? He's not a Nomu you know." Tomoko replied, curious about Izuku's eyes. As far as she knew, only her master had multiple quirks. How could anyone else, especially a male, have a similar quirk? If this is true, it's just another reason to kill the male. They would be a threat to her master if she let them lived.
The Green Nomu then started to grow sharp bones from its elbows and knees now, and went straight for Izuku.
"Lowest Round Kick!"
Izuku shouted as he ducked under the sharp bone coming from the Nomu's elbow, and as the Nomu tripped off its feet, Izuku prepared his next attack.
"Texas Smash!"
Izuku hit the Nomu, right in its guts and sent it flying away.
'Tsk, just before I delivered that Smash, he used his thoracic cage's bones to block my attack.' Izuku thought to himself as he quickly thought about what happened so far. 'But I managed to break his bones, but my punch didn't do as much damage as I wanted to.'
However, just then, a bony rod came out of the Nomu's wing and shot at Izuku. Izuku was taken aback by surprise as he didn't expect the Nomu to recover that quickly. Luckily for him, he managed to cut it in half with his sword at the last second. This was more luck than justment in that attack.
'Hmm, that's either some excellent reflexes the male got there or excellent perception.' Kurogiri thought as he carefully observed Izuku. Whilst Shigaraki might be her master right now, her true master would be All For One, and she would want to know such details for when they report this back to her. Sure AFO would be mad at them for killing the male, but her current master, Shigaraki wanted the male dead, and as such, it was up to her to Shigaraki to do this. 'I don't know exactly which one it is, but I'm leaning towards the latter.'
"ROOAAAAARRR!" The Green Nomu let out a mighty roar as it stood up again. It was angry at Izuku and began to pull out its vertebral column from its spine.
Izuku watched this whole process in disgust as he had never seen someone pull their spine like that.
After fully pulling it out, the Green Nomu began to swing it like a sword, ready for round two.
Izuku took his fighting stance and firmly held his sword. Yes, he was a novice at sword fighting, but right now, he had no other option but to fight with a sword. A staff wouldn't do enough damage to this monster. For the next few moments they stared at each other before Izuku charged at it. Sharp bone spikes shot at him from the Nomu's kneecaps, but Izuku deflected them all with his sword. Once he got close enough, both of them swung their swords and clashed with each other. Izuku noted that the bone was as hard as steel.
Izuku and the Nomu then began to clash swords together at a high speed. Izuku tried to slash the monster's chest, but the Nomu blocked his attack. The Nomu then tried to shoot bone spikes at Izuku again from its kneecaps, but Izuku had already perceived his attack with the Sharingan and jumped over the attack.
"That was close." Izuku admitted aloud.
However, just then, the Nomu swung its sword as fast and strong as it can. Izuku tried to parry it with his own sword, but was sent flying away.
Unfortunately for him, this wasn't the end, as the Nomu began to shoot bone spikes from its fingers. Izuku tried to dodge the incoming attacks, but one of them managed to impale his shoulder before he fell on the ground with a loud thud.
"AAAHHHH!" He yelled out in pain as blood dripped from his shoulder. It was painful, but not as painful as breaking one's bones. So, he grabbed the bone spike and winced in pain as he pulled it out of his shoulder. He was panting but still standing. He had to continue fighting because he truly believed that he was currently the only one capable of protecting his classmates right now.
'Come on Izuku, All Might and Mitsui trained you to be better than this.' Izuku told himself, as he firmly gripped his sword 'Sure, they didn't prepare you to fight a monster that uses its spine like a sword but still!'
Shigaraki made an evil smirk, "I'll give you credit, for a male you have done way better than most heroes I dealt with. But at the end of day, it's no use kid!" the leader credited the young male. She might hate doing so, but she could give credit where credit is due, and in this case, credit was very much due. Nowadays, the so-called heroes aren't as powerful as they made themselves out to be. But this male was putting them to shame, and Shigaraki hated that thought, giving her another reason to kill Izuku. She couldn't let people know that a male could be better than a female with a quirk. "There's nothing you can do to defeat a Nomu that was specifically made to kill your trash of a Symbol of Peace! Just give up and accept your death with grace!"
Hearing this, Izuku just scoffed, "Give up…"
"Still Izuku, with everything that happened to you, everything that you have done to try and become a hero and get into U.A. You ought to be proud of yourself." Izuku remembered his mother's words she gave the day that he started U.A, "No matter how much life put you down, you stood up again, you never gave up. That's what I'm proud of and hope you keep on doing. Never give up on anything you want."
Then, his memories shifted to another distant memory. "Mom… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… I promise you… I promise you that I'll never give up ever again!"
"What's so funny kid?!" Shigaraki asked with a hint of annoyance.
"What's funny is that you think I'd ever give up." Izuku told the villain with a fake smile, "But I won't… I'll stall you until the Pro Heroes come and protect my friends! Because I, I…"
Izuku began as the green lightning around him began to violently swirl around him and the scent of ozone filled the air. His Sharingan began to spin too as it showed his conviction and determination.
"…I never give up and I never go back on my word because that's my Hero… MY HERO WAY!" Izuku shouted as he charged at the Green Nomu once again. His charge alone created gusts of wind as he ran so fast towards the monster. Shigaraki and Kurogiri were taken aback by surprise as they were having a hard time tracking Izuku's speed. They didn't expect the Sharingan user to be this fast.
The Green Nomu tried to shoot bone spikes at him again from its knuckles and knees, but Izuku cut them all with his sword at an incredible rate and speed. After slashing the last one in two perfect halves and managing to get closer, the Nomu swung its sword at him, trying to cut the male down.
However, out of instinct and nothing else to think of, Izuku just threw his sword in the air over the Nomu and ducked under the attack as he slid between his legs. He then caught the sword and did a quick turnaround before he slashed his calves.
"RRRRIIIIII!" The Nomu shrieked in pain. Seeing this, Shigaraki's and Kurogiri's eyes widened in shock.
'Just who's this kid?!' Kurogiri yelled in his mind.
"I'm not done yet!" Izuku shouted as he quickly followed with a devastating kick to the monster's spine, breaking it in the process before the Nomu was sent flying away.
Izuku then jumped high in the air and threw his sword at the Nomu. His sword impaled its back and stopped it in its place as it was pinned to the ground.
"Come, Young Midoriya. This is your Hero Academia!" Izuku remembered All Might's words to him. He's a U,A student! This is his Hero Academia now, and he was going to protect it from the villains!
"Remember this because I, Izuku Midoriya, am the Hero who will become the next Symbol of Peace!" Izuku yelled as he pulled back his fist. The pain in his shoulder hurt him as blood dripped from it, but he wasn't going to stop there. He was going to finish this.
"Detroit Smaaaaash!"
Izuku brought his fist down and landed a solid punch right to the Nomu's face. The punch was powerful enough to create a crater in the ground as it came down with a loud BOOM!
Shigaraki coughed as dust filled the area, but once it settled and cleared, she only saw Izuku standing and her Nomu in a bloody mess and helplessly lying on the floor. She focused on Izuku's eyes and looked at them and only saw a burning inferno in them, but what mostly irritated her was that they reminded her of All Might.
"Oi, oi, this Nomu was made to kill All Might, not to get defeated by a mere kid!" Tomoko angrily shouted as she scratched her neck, blood could be seen dripping from it. She was clearly furious and pissed off.
"Tomoko, it's best for us to leave now. That kid managed to defeat the Nomu and the Pros will arrive any minute now. I'll retrieve the Nomu-" Kurogiri began but was interrupted.
"NO! I'm not leaving before I kill this brat!" Shigaraki shouted at him, "I know that master wants him alive, but look at him, he's only fifteen but he defeated a Nomu, Kurogiri! A Nomu! If we let him go alive, he'll prove to be a bigger threat in the future!"
Kurogiri then watched as her young master charged at the Sharingan Hero with her hands outstretched.
Izuku quickly picked his sword before he dodged Shigaraki's hand. He didn't know what the villain's quirk was, but seeing as Shigaraki ran with her hands outstretched like that, the young male knew that something bad would happen if the villain touched him.
"Die, you brat!" Shigaraki shouted as she tried to touch Izuku with her five fingers.
As Izuku dodged Shigaraki's incoming hand once again, he noticed the sudden portal that was opened behind him by Kurogiri.
"Oh, no!" Izuku jumped back and kicked Shigaraki in her chin before he did a backflip over the portal and landed on his hands first before flipping and landing on his feet.
"Phew, that was close…" Izuku let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
He then quickly grabbed his sword and jumped towards Shigaraki before he stomped her chest, pushing her down onto the floor and brought his sword right in front of the villain's face.
"Surrender, it's over now." Izuku calmly said.
Shigaraki then grabbed Izuku's sword and Izuku thought the villain was just trying to resist. However, he gasped in shock as his sword crumbled and turned into dust.
"What's this?" Izuku questioned.
Izuku jumped back as he saw Shigaraki outstretching her hand towards him. He wasn't going to let her touch him.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Izuku felt a sudden pain as two rods of bones pierced him through his back.
He looked back and was surprised to see the Green Nomu back again! This time it had bones coming out of its shoulders, elbows, knees, and knuckles. It seemed like it was getting serious now.
'You have to be kidding me, no matter how much I hit him he gets up!' Izuku thought with concern and slight fear, not knowing how to deal with this villain. No matter how much damage he dealt, the monster kept getting back up. 'It seems like it can only regenerate its bones since there's blood coming from its mouth, meaning that it's suffering internal damage, but still!'
"I finally got you, kid." Izuku looked in horror at Shigaraki whose hand was coming closer and closer.
'No! I can't die here! I can't die now! I have to escape!' Izuku thought as his eyes widened in panic. He couldn't move because of the two rods.
Izuku closed his eyes as Shigaraki's hand was only one centimetre away. Was he going to die now without even passing One for All? Was he going to fail All Might?
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.
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.
