Chapter 9: Is that a Resurrected Corpse?
The three students were relieved and somewhat excited for the beating the villains in the flood zone.
Though Izuku was worried… after all he knew they wanted to kill Toshinori.
Even with his injuries which very few knew about there had to be a way to kill him… and because of that he knew he had to see what they had.
"I think we should go to the central plaza." Said Izuku .
"What?" asked Mineta.
"Just to look… they might have something to kill All Might." Said Izuku.
"What…" said Mineta, "What do you mean."
"He's got a point… they probably wouldn't have tried anything had they not having something to beat All Might." Said Tsuyu.
Mineta was shaking.
"And you want to fight them?" asked Mineta.
Izuku shook his head no.
"I need to see if they really have something that can kill him." Said Izuku.
"So no fighting?" asked Mineta.
"No fighting." Said Izuku.
Mineta breathed a sigh of relief.
They got to the shore that was closest to the central plaza of the USJ.
They all watched Aizawa fighting the villains.
Izuku noticed there seemed to be two higher ranked villains.
One was a villain covered in hands. Izuku didn't know if they were real or not.
"There's something about those hands." Said Nana, "Something drawing me to them… I don't know why…"
"What?" asked Izuku and the other ghosts.
"I don't know…" said Nana.
"We'll worry about that later.' Thought Izuku.,
Izuku pulled his goggles over his eyes. They weren't just an accessory but had several functions, including acting like binoculars.
He looked at the other high ranking villain. It was a horrifying muscular villain with a bird like beak and the most horrifying thing of all an exposed brain.
Or rather that would be the most horrifying thing of all had Izuku not noticed the signs.
"That's villain… the one with the bird's beak… that's a resurrected corpse." Said Izuku.
"What?" asked Tsuyu and Mineta.
"There's a lot of subtle scaring and the way the muscles seem to move." Said Izuku.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT A RESURRECTED CORPSE LOOKS LIKE!" yelled Mineta.
Izuku realized he said something he shouldn't have, after all in his many years as a paranormal researcher he had seen many "Frankensteined" creatures like this one. Most of the other reincarnations wouldn't recognize the signs so that wasn't going to be of any help… though actually now that he thought about the two that would recognize the signs as well as him would probably help get rid of questions.
"It's not important…" said Izuku sweating.
After all there was no good way to explain how he knew.
However they noticed that Aizawa had started to fight the hang covered villain… who grabbed his elbow. He got his hand away but the skin on his elbow crumbled away revealing the muscle underneath.
It only got worse when the corpse attacked Aizawa. The giant muscle bound thing proceeded to slam him into the ground it was nothing and even grabbed his arm and broke it quite easily.
The three students watched in horror.
However that was when the amorphous cloud appeared.
"Kurogiri… what of Thirteen." Said the hand covered villain.
"I have put them out of commission, Tomura Shigaraki." Said Kurogiri.
"Shigaraki!" yelled the ghosts.
Izuku's eyes widened as that, as he had learned that Yoichi's family name was Shigaraki as well… though it was a made up name that his brother came up due to the fact they were orphans.
"Okay… whatever is pulling you to him has to do with my brother… that much is sure." Said Yoichi.
Izuku nodded ignoring the ghost freakout in his head.
"However I do have some bad news. One of the hero students escaped." Said the amorphous cloud called Kurogiri.
"What?" asked Tomura.
It was indeed true. Thankfully at the entrance Iida had managed to escape the budling and ran to get help.
HE was headed to the school as they spoke.
"This is game over!" said Tomura scratching his neck, "The heroes are going to come here."
"Should we make our escape?" asked Kurogiri.
"No I overheard something rather interesting… I want to know more about it/.. plus it would be a good idea to destroy All Might's pride while we're at it." Said Tomura.
Tomura was suddenly there and he grabbed Izuku's arm in a way that showed he wasn't using all fingers.
Izuku realized that his quirk was that of a five point touch quirk.
"I overheard you talking that you know that Nomu is resurrected corpse." Said Tomura, "How do you know that?"
"I learned the signs years ago.," said Izuku.
"How!" he demanded, "How do you know it's a corpse?"
"I'm not telling a villain." Said Izuku.
Izuku activated his quirk and tore away his arm fast enough.
"So that thing is a corpse?" asked Mineta.
Tomura didn't answer only angry that Izuku broke his grip.
That was when Mineta got an idea.
HE wasn't sure it will work but he didn't care that thing to him was a zombie or something.
He grabbed one of his hair balls and it hit the Nomu (as it called) in the brain.
"Get rid of that thing Nomu!" ordered Tomura.
The Nomu ripped the hair ball… and a good chunk of the brain and then collapsed.
"That worked." Said Mineta trying not to cry in relief.
"However this possible! Nomu has regeneration!" yelled Tomura.
"I don't think a regeneration quirk can effect brains." Said Izuku.
Tomura was about to say something. But then growled.
"You bastard! You killed Nomu." Said Tomura.
"They were already dead… we just freed them from the suffering you made them suffer." Said Izuku.
Tsuyu looked at him with a look on her face like she was questioning these things.
"There is no way this can get worse!" yelled Tomura.
That was when the doors opened and a very angry Toshinori showed up in his muscle bound form.
At the entrance he looked at Thirteen.
Thirteen's quirk gave her the ability to suck things up like a blackhole.
While she was using her quirk, Kurogiri used his warp gate to open one up behind her and use her quirk on herself.
She was thankfully alive but badly injured.
Toshinori looked at the injured teacher and became angrier.
"Have no fear… because I am here." Said All Might.
"He's angry." Said Izuku shaking a little.
"What?" asked Tsuyu.
"Something I always admired about All Might was his smile." Said Izuku, "He's not smiling he's angry."
And honestly he couldn't blame him, not only was he supposed to be there… but also members of his family was in danger.
He jumped down and took care of the remain villains that Aizawa didn't defeat. He then grab bed the very injured Aizawa followed by grabbing the three and getting them away from Tomura.
He brought them there.
"All Might." Sighed Izuku breathing a sighed.
"Don't worry I am here." Said All Might.
However Tomura was angry.
"Why you have to come after Nomu was killed?" asked Tomura.
"Nomu?" asked Toshinori.
He looked at the dead… well corpse.
"Is that a resurrected corpse?" asked Toshinori.
"It's dead now." Said Izuku.
"Wait… is that how you know how a resurrected corpse looks like." Said Mineta
"I guess the number one hero encounters really weird things so I guess it makes sense he taught his student." Said Tsuyu.
Toshinori looked at him.
"Katsuki told them I'm your protégée earlier." Said Izuku.
Toshinori nodded figuring something like that might happened sooner or later.
"How am I supposed to kill you now?" asked Tomura.
Yoichi subtlety appeared next to Toshinori.
"HE has ties to my brother… I don't know what exactly… but he has my last name." said Yoichi.
Toshinori scowled at that.
Tomura on other hand wanted to kill him but didn't know how;.
However that was when Nomu began to twitch and suddenly got up.
"Looks like it's brain still works after all." Said Tomura.
However Nomu started to laugh… it was a high pitched laughed that both Toshinori and Izuku both recognized.
One they were prepared for but knew when they heard it would be terrified…
Nomu looked and them and another were surprised when they saw that it now had the golden slit eyes.
"It's good to be back… Sixer… Pine Tree…" said the Nomu.
Indeed the dead Nomu was Posed by Bill.
Next Time: Bill is back in the dead Nomu's body! and he's ready to fight Toshinori and agree to help Tomura in his goal to kill him. Will it work... and what will happen when more students show up to help? Find out next time!
A/N: Bet you weren't expecting Bill back this soon...
