AN:
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you receive lots of love and chocolate today. In celebration, there's a special omake at the end of the chapter that I hope you all enjoy.
But before we get there, I'd like to share some news. I was surfing the net the other day when I decided to look up my fic. One of the hits led to Wattpad for some reason, so I checked it out, figured it was just a coincidence. Then I saw that the description was the exact same as my story description on AO3. And when I started reading the first chapter, it confirmed that it WAS my fic, only I don't remember putting it on Wattpad at all!
Apparently someone called ostens (https:-/-/-www-.-wattpad-.-com-/-user-/-dat1guy555) decided to post my story on Wattpad without me knowing (https-:-/-/-www-.-wattpad-.-com-/-story-/205237411-hero-academia-dxd (Link is now invalid. I contacted Wattpad about the issue and they disabled access)). But that's not all, because he also has a fic called "BIG TIDD". I recognized both the name and description as that of an Izuku harem fic on both FanFiction and AO3, done by UnmotivatedCartoon. I contacted him to ask him about it, and he confirmed he's not ostens. ostens also has "Lustful secrets" on his account, ANOTHER fic done by UnmotivatedCartoon.
And I'm sure it's not just our fics. Other fics he has are "R/Entitled parents", "secret quirk", "playtime", "DEKU, MULTY ALIEN-HERO", "MEMES", "LILITHS' CORD", "SAVIOR(IZUMOMO)" which is up-for adoption apparently, "IZUKU 1 SHOTS", and "Its a date(izumomo)".
I have no idea how many of these are HIS works or someone else's. All I do know is that it has to stop. Everyone, please do what you can to help stop this.
At U.A., Rias had grown anxious. Normally she would either study or go over plans for club activities, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to do so now. Maybe it was just nerves. She is going on a date with Izuku later. 'No, that can't be right…' she thought. She had taken out her phone to ask how Izuku's class was going, but Izuku's phone was out of service for some reason.
The same was true for Momo, Ibara, and Ochako. She'll have to contact them in a different way later without anyone watching. Not being able to contact any of them didn't help with her anxiety, though. 'Maybe it's just jealousy?' Izuku was attracting a lot of girls lately if what both Setsuna, that pink-skinned girl, and the Hagakure girl Ochako had mentioned were any indication.
Counting herself, that meant eight girls were at least attracted to him, possibly more. If she wanted to keep up, Rias will have to step up her game. 'I should ask Inko for advice later.' Rias smiled, wondering just what Inko would suggest. Still, that did little to ease her.
USJ, Flood Zone
"What do you mean 'fight'? Are you crazy?! These guys might be able to kill All Might, and you think we can take them?! Did you hit your head when we got warped here?!" Mineta yelled at Izuku, tears coming out of his eyes like a fountain. "The best plan is for us to just wait for a real Pro from U.A. to come and save us!"
"These guys have the advantage," said Rin. "We can't get in the water or else we're dead."
"Hey, are you even listening to me?!" Mineta demanded.
"Does that mean they knew what was in the USJ before they warped in?" Milia asked.
"Probably," said Tsuyu.
"So what should we do?" Hyde asked. "Do we wait it out or face them head-on?" He then turned toward Mineta. "Or do we use the crybaby as bait so we can get to safety?"
"I like that idea, kero," Tsuyu said.
"Grape boy's crying annoying," said Pony.
"Not a bad idea," Rin nodded.
"We should do it," Yui blurted out.
"Seriously?! That's messed up! Using me as bait? You guys are sick!" Mineta wailed.
"Sorry!" Said Hyde. "I was just trying to lighten the mood… Though it is starting to get tempting."
"Guys, stop!" Izuku scolded them. "Even if it was a joke, we can't do that to Mineta-san… even though he's… him…"
"HEY!"
"But we need to focus on stopping the villains. I know one thing. These guys don't know what our Quirks are."
"Really? What makes you so sure?" Milia asked.
"Because of Asu-"
"Kero?"
"-I mean Tsuyu-san!" Izuku quickly corrected. "They sent her here."
Everyone's eyes widened as they realized that he was, in fact, right. "Kero? That's true. If they knew that I was a frog, then they probably would've thrown me to the Conflagration Zone."
"So then they separated us because they didn't know what we could do?" Hyde asked.
"Probably," Izuku nodded. "They have the advantage in numbers, but the fact they're not trying to get into the boat supports my hypothesis. To them, we could all be as powerful as All Might. But that also means they won't be underestimating us, either."
"So we need to act fast," said Yui, who still had a neutral expression on her face.
"In that case, we should talk about our Quirks and come up with a plan," said Rin. "I'll go first. My Quirk is Scales. I can form them throughout my entire body. They can act like armor for both defense and combat. I can also fire the scales like a gun."
"Mine's Frog," Tsuyu said. "I can leap fairly high and climb up walls. My tongue can lash out up to a length of twenty meters. And I can inflate my stomach outwards… It's lined with poisonous mucus…Well, not really poisonous so much as somewhat stinging, and I can…Secrete it. The latter two are probably near useless so you can forget those."
"Uh, my Quirk is Spearfinger." Milia began, "I can turn the tips of my fingers into razor-sharp claws. They can extend up to 10 meters and can cut through anything."
"Uh, my… Quirk Horn Cannon," said Pony. To demonstrate, the horns on her head plopped off, two new ones instantly growing in place as the two horns floated around her. "My horns can… fire like cannon. Can control four."
Izuku nodded. "My power is Dragon Force. Like Rin-san I can grow scales, but also wings and horns like a dragon, increasing my strength and speed. I can also double my power every 10 seconds, but I can only do so until I hit my limit."
"Size," said Yui. "I can grow or shrink any nonliving thing I've interacted with."
"Mine is Void Red," Hyde summoned the Insulator. "I can basically control and manipulate dark energy, and can use it to create this."
"Cool~," Pony gushed in English.
Everyone then turned to Mineta. "Uh… My Quirk creates balls on my head that grow as fast as I can pull them. They stick super tight. Depending on how I'm feeling, they can even stick for a whole day. But if I pull off too many balls, I'll start bleeding. They don't stick to me, just bounce off."
The others stared at Mineta for a moment… Which was more than enough to cause the perverted boy to cry comically. "Don't look at me like that! That's why I say we wait for the Pro Heroes to come! My Quirk is useless here! We're all gonna die!"
"Dude, calm down!" Hyde said.
"How did this guy get into the hero course?" Rin sweat-dropped.
"Can we use his Quirk to incapacitate the villains?" Yui asked.
"Wouldn't they just avoid his… balls?" Tsuyu asked.
Before anyone could answer, Hyde yelled, "Look out!" He tackled Pony away just as a giant hand of water slammed down on the boat, slicing it in half. The boat rocked violently as it began to sink.
"I'm starting to get bored! Let's get this show on the road already!" One of the villains, having used his Quirk to slice the boat, yelled.
"We're running out of time!" Rin activated his Quirk and started firing his scales at the villains. They quickly scattered away from his attack. Many of them went around to dodge the attack while others stayed behind but dodged them from underwater. "Someone hurry up and come up with a plan!"
"We're gonna die!" Mineta cried.
"Hey, Midoriya! About what Kodai said. Is there any way we can use Mineta's Quirk in this?" Hyde asked.
Izuku looked out at the water, noting how all of the villains were now all concentrated near the bow. He then looked at the other teens before his eyes settled on Pony. "Tsunotori-san, you said you can control your horns, right? Does that mean you can freely control them?"
Pony, though confused for a second, nodded.
"Your big brain got a plan now, Midoriya?" Hyde asked.
Izuku nodded. "Here's my idea."
Entrance
"Shoji-kun, do you have everyone?" Iida asked.
Shoji's Dupli-Arms had erupted into a grotesque web of numerous ears and eyes, each appendage listening and observing the facility before him from as many different angles as possible. Each ear and eye twitched with every twinge of his muscles.
"They've been scattered across the facility." He answered. "But both Class 1-A and Class 1-B are still here."
The students grew a collective sigh of relief, happy that their classmates are safe. For now. They look in front to see the exit where Kurogiri was blocking their way. "What do we do?" Sero asked.
"Physical attacks do not seem to work against him," growled Jurota.
"And he can also warp anything he wants," Monoma added. "This won't be easy."
Thirteen pondered for a second before coming to a snap decision, "Students, which of you is the fastest?" she asked in a serious tone.
"Uh, me sensei," Iida raise this hand hesitantly.
Thirteen nodded. "Good. First chance you get, run past this villain and get outside to warn the school! It's our only hope!" Desperation was creeping into Thirteen's voice.
"And abandon you all?" Iida asked, eyes widened.
"Come on, Iida!" Sero shouted back over his shoulder. "You're the only one who can!"
Iida looked over his classmates and those from Class 1-B and back to the rest of the massive facility. Discounting the teachers there were 27 other lives riding on him, including his own. He turned back to Thirteen and nodded as he revved his engines again and planted his feet, ready to kick off towards the door.
"Discussing your plans in front of the enemy?" Kurogiri asked, "A bit foolish isn't it?"
"It isn't foolish when you can't do anything to prevent it!" Thirteen flipped open a finger cap and activating her Quirk. "BLACK HOLE!"
"Almost made it back to shore," Hyde said. Everyone who was sent to the Flood Zone were now in waist-deep water as they neared the central plaza.
"Mineta-san, are you sure the villains won't be able to escape," Milia asked, looking back at the aquatic villains, who were either unconscious or struggling to break away from the sticky balls. Izuku's plan had both Pony and Rin use their Quirks to corral the villains while Mineta threw as many sticky balls into the water as possible.
"They're not going anywhere," Mineta proudly said, ignoring the blood dripping from his scalp.
Milia sighed in relief. That was one problem taken care of. "Uh, Milia?" Said girl looked to her side to see Pony. "Can we talk?"
"Sure. What is it?" Milia asked.
Pony didn't say anything right away. But her big eyes showed that she seemed… confused about something. "…Why are you and Midoriya talking in English?"
"Eh?" Milia suddenly realized that Pony was talking to her in English. Of course, she didn't realize, because of the devil's gift of tongues she could talk to anyone in any language without any issue. But since Japanese wasn't Pony's first language, it makes sense for her to hear Milia and Izuku in English.
Looking at the others to make sure none were listening in, Milia replied. "It's… a little difficult to explain. I promise to give you answers when this is over, okay?"
Pony smiled and nodded. "Okay!"
"Hey, I can see the exit," Rin pointed to his left, the stairs and doorway within sight. "We should be able to make a break for it now."
"So, what next Midoriya?" Hyde asked.
Izuku looked back at the villains in the water before looking over at the other zones. "Our next priority should be to help our classmates. If those villains outnumbered us, then they'll definitely be surrounding our classmates."
"Yeah, kero," Tsuyu said with a nod.
"What about our teachers?" Yui asked.
"They should be fine," Rin reassured. "Vlad-sensei has an amazing Quirk, plus he has 1-A's teacher for backup. And if the guys we fought were any indication, our classmates will be okay."
Izuku knew that Rin was right, but that didn't ease him at all. Based on how many villains he remembered seeing at the central plaza, then it's likely that their teachers were starting to feel fatigued by now. "If they don't get backup, Aizawa-sensei and Vlad King are gonna be overrun." He said with a serious look.
"What are you saying?" Mineta fearfully asked.
"You're not seriously planning on helping them, are you?" Rin asked.
"I'm not saying we should interfere. I'm just saying we should at least help them out and take on a couple of villains to at least make it easier for them," Izuku clarified.
"Then let's split up," Hyde suggested. "Some of us go help our classmates, while the rest go help our teachers."
Everyone, even Mineta, nodded. "Okay, me, Asu-" he paused when he saw Tsuyu look at him. "I-I m-mean Tsuyu-san, Takamaki-san, and Kido-san will head to the central plaza. Everyone else will head to the other zones to help our classmates. If anyone's injured take them back to the entrance."
Landside Zone
"Oh shit! RUN!"
"I can't move!"
"I'm sinking!"
"For God's sake, you're adults aren't you? At least try to put up a fight." Todoroki said as he froze every villain who got too close. Behind him, Liana ensured several villains in a bone cage. To her right Honenuki used his Quirk to soften the ground under a number of villains before hardening it, trapping them in place.
"Your opponents are just school children, and yet you're going down so easily," Liana sighed.
"T-Th-These kids… they're monsters…" a half-frozen villain shivered.
"I think that's most of them," said Honenuki. "But this doesn't feel right…"
Todoroki nodded. "Yeah. Their objective is to kill All Might, so I had thought they gathered elite villains who could overpower him…"
"I thought so as well," Liana didn't even bat an eye as she incapacitated a villain who had sneak up from behind. Another Villain tried to move in on then, but Honenuki effortlessly softens the ground beneath him. "But these guys are just pawns. A ragtag bunch of thugs that even teenagers could beat. From what I can tell, there were only four or five truly dangerous villains here: that mist villain who warped us here, that hands villain, the one in the cloak, that brain-monster, and whoever is jamming communications."
"So what do we do?" Honenuki asked.
Liana turned to one of the villains Todoroki had frozen. "Get information," calmly, she walked up to the villain.
*Shlikt!*
Before she created a long bone blade, the edge just grazing the villain's face. "Listen, from what I can tell you and your friends have only two options. A, stay here and wait for your cells to die from frostbite and hypothermia or B, tells us how you plan to kill All Might and get arrested. Your choice…"
"She's… scary…" Honenuki quietly said to himself.
Next to him, Todoroki nodded. "All women are."
Mountain Zone
By random chance, all the students transported here were girls, much to the villain's delight. "Good! Looks like we'll have some fun, boys!" One of them said.
"Okay, this doesn't look good," said Kyoka.
"There sure are a lot of them…" Ibara said.
"They seem… happier then they should be," Reiko stated.
Itsuka, Momo, Setsuna, and Tsubasa merely narrowed their eyes when they saw how most of the villains with a leering expression. "Ibara, get ready," Momo whispered.
Ibara nodded and closed her eyes and put her hands together as if in prayer. "Looks like they want it the hard way, boys!" One of the villains proclaimed. "Let's-"
Ibara opened her eyes, and suddenly her vine hair came alive and lashed out against the Villains.
"Crucifixion."
Seconds later, half the Villains were suspended in the air, tied at their hands and feet, unable to move from the large vines holding them in place. Taking this chance, the other girls quickly charged at the villains.
Enlarging her fist, Itsuka engaged in battle against the Villains that were still free. One Villain nearly attacked her on her back, but a large rock hit him on the head just as another student, this one with pale gray hair, appeared from another place.
"Thanks, Reiko!" Itsuka said, giving her a thumbs-up before resuming her fight.
Kyoka connected her earphone jack into the speakers in her legs, creating a large and powerful sound wave, pushing back and knocking out several of the villains.
Momo had already created a metal staff and had launched herself into the fight, utterly stunning the villains, who did not know how to counter her rapid swings. With a smile, she then fired a bolt of lightning at him, burning both him and a few villains unlucky enough to be behind him black.
Tsubasa quickly absorbed the surrounding rock before delivering a series of punches and kicks to any villains near her.
A villain carrying two swords jumped down from above, swinging his blades at the closest student: Setsuna. The green-haired teen didn't have time to react as her body neatly sliced into three parts. Her head rolled to the ground, the top half followed, and later the same happened with the rest.
"Ha! That's one down!" the gloated. "Now for the-GHA!" He dropped his swords, his voice taking on an unnaturally high pitched as a leg kneed him in the groin.
"Surprise!" Setsuna shouted, her smirking head suddenly floating to the villains horror.
It wasn't long until all of the villains had been dealt with. "That's all of them," Tsubasa said, tossing an unconscious villain into a small pile of such she made.
"That was of minimal difficulty," said Reiko.
Some of the other girls turned to look at Reiko in horror. "Did you just say this was easy?" Kyoka asked. "You never say it was easy, ever!"
Reiko raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Suddenly, out of the ground emerged a villain. Before anyone could properly react he grabbed hold of the nearest student, Tsubasa, lifting her by her neck. "No one move. Hands in the air and no Quirks!" The villain shouted. "Try anything and she dies." Sparks of electricity crackled from the villain's free hand.
The girls immediately complied putting their hands in the air.
"That's why," Kyoka grumbled.
"An electric-type…" Setsuna hissed. "He must be the one jamming communications."
"Normally I don't like to kill," the villains said, his electrically charged hand inching closer to Tsubasa's head. As the villain talked, Momo glanced at Tsubasa as she dangled from the villain's grip. 'What is Tsubasa doing? She's a Rook, so she could easily overpower him.'
"So, what's it gonna be?" The villain asked.
"Here's my vote…" Tsubasa groaned. "None of the above!" Quickly, Tsubasa grabbed hold of the villain's hand with her left hand. Electricity soon transferred from the villain to Tsubasa.
"What are you…!" The villain wasn't able to finish, as Tsubasa broke free from his grip, her body now giving off electrical sparks. The villains face contorted to one of shock and pain as Tsubasa punched him in the gut, the push having more force due to the energy Tsubasa absorbed.
The villain fell to the ground, unconscious. Huffing, Tsubasa dropped to the ground not long after.
"You okay?" Kyoka asked as she and the other girls ran to Tsubasa's side.
Tsubasa panted out a response. "That…was…a rush… Remind me…to never…do that…again…"
"The alarms aren't going off," Setsuna noted. She was right. Despite the villain being down the alarms didn't trigger.
"What gives? I thought that guy was the one jamming everything." Kyoka noted.
"They must have completely fired the system." Momo guessed. "Though with him down we should be able to call the school now."
"Anyone happen to have brought their phone?" Tsubasa asked as she got up. "I forgot mine at home."
"Left mine charging at school," Kyoka answered.
"I brought mine," Itsuka said. "But it's not getting a good signal."
"Should we head back to the entrance then?" Reiko asked.
"What about Izuku-san and the others?" Ibara asked. "They could still be fighting."
"Yeah," Setsuna nodded. "Not to mention there are a lot more villains left to deal with."
"That's a good point," said Momo. "In that case, we should head to the entrance."
Central Plaza
Hyde, Izuku, Tsuyu, and Milia all reached the edge of the Flood Zone to the Central Plaza but stayed in the water to avoid detection. Eraserhead and Vlad King, surrounded by a multitude of unconscious thugs, knocked out the last person to rush them. That they were still standing despite the obvious strain was commendable, as was their readiness in the stance they took in case any other villain decided to attack.
The students each sighed in relief that their teachers were safe. But then, Shigaraki began to clap. It was a slow clap, almost mocking in the ensuing silence.
"Congrats," he said, and hooked his thumb on the pocket of his jeans. "Had fun?"
The corners of the Aizawa's lips tightened. "I've had better."
"Aww," Shigaraki smirked. "How inconsiderate of the effort those guys put in. I'll let them know you think they're scrubs."
Beside him, the cloaked figure snorted, and he muttered. "No shit."
"You can inform them through the police," Vlad replied. Despite his tone, it was obvious that both Vlad and Aizawa were panting.
"You both look really tired," Shigaraki noted. "Not surprising. Both of your Quirks aren't well suited for drawn-out fights against a large group, right? Even then, you two chose to jump right in to fight us from the front. Was that to put your students at ease?"
Aizawa's response was to throw his cloth away in an attempt to immobilize him, only for Shigaraki to grab the edge of the cloth and use it to pull himself closer to him. Aizawa attempted to elbow the Shigaraki in the chest, only to be blocked at the last second, as the Villain held Aizawa's elbow in a tight grip.
"Damn it…" Aizawa muttered as he realized his attack had failed.
"You really shouldn't push yourself, Eraserhead, especially since you need to blink more now," Aizawa gasped as his hair fell down. Then, the elbow Shigaraki caught started to turn grey like ash or stone, and then started to crack. Making the teacher grunted in pain. Shigaraki powers, whatever it was, had broken through Aizawa's sleeve. Now his arm was starting to crumble away, with his skin breaking away and showing his elbow's muscle.
Aizawa punched Shigaraki with a grunt. He jumped away, looking at his elbow. It was destroyed. Then more villains came running at him and attack, but he was able to kick them away, while also using his good arm.
"Kan, a little help," Aizawa turned to him, only to see Vlad's face being pounded into the ground by the cloaked figure, blood streaming from his head.
Acting quickly, Aizawa wrapped his capture cloth around the figure's arm. "Oh, trying to help your friend, huh?" Muscle sprouted from the villain's arm.
"You!" Aizawa hissed. He quickly activated his Quirk in response. "Why the hell are you here?!"
"Why?" the villain looked to Aizawa, his face completely covered thanks to the assistance of a white mask lined with small holes. "I came here for some fun."
"I'd be careful if I were you, Eraserhead," Shigaraki said in a mocking tone.
When he felt a presence behind him, Aizawa turned and saw the bird monster standing right behind him.
"Neither me or Muscular are the final boss."
Izuku and the others were shocked and horrified as the monster grabbed Aizawa, and slammed him on the ground. Blood flew as he goggles came off. All they could do was watch, as Aizawa was getting beaten. He was being held down, while the monster broke and bent his bad arm out of shape.
"What do you think of him? He's the bioengineered anti-Symbol of Peace. But you can call him Nomu."
Entrance
Iida, Ochako, Komuri, Shoji, Yuga, Mina, Tsuburaba, Awase, Sero, Togaru, Jurota, Celica, and Monoma were standing behind Thirteen, as the Hero used her Black Hole Quirk on Kurogiri.
"Ah, Black Hole, the Quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust," said Kurogiri, getting sucked into Thirteen's finger. "Such an astounding power. However, you're a rescue Hero, Thirteen, skilled at saving people from disasters." Kurogiri opened another portal in his body. "Consequently, that means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness."
That's when a portal opened behind Thirteen. The hero yelped as Thirteen was getting sucked in, as the students could only gasp in horror. Then, the back of Thirteen's suit was torn apart and pulled into the Black Hole. Destroying the Hero's back as it was turned into dust.
Cutting off the Black Hole's, Thirteen fell to the ground. "I'm sorry," said the Space-Hero. "He got me."
"Thirteen!" Mina screamed and ran over to her.
Even though he was scared, Iida realized this was his chance. At top speed, he headed for the exit.
"I can't let you escape," Kurogiri said, turning to the scion of the Iida family. "If the other teachers are called here, it will become harder for us."
Suddenly, Kurogiri was tackled by Shoji and Jurota, though the mist villain merely slipped out before chasing after Iida.
That was when Ochako noticed something: a metal plate within the dark mist.
'I don't know how he's doing this, but if he's wearing something like that, then he's got a physical body!' She thought, and then she decided to take the risk: she jumped forward and grabbed onto the metal plate, activating her Quirk and throwing the plate, and Kurogiri, into the air.
"Go, Iida-kun!" She cried out.
Iida reached the door and began trying to pry it open, just to find that it was locked.
"Iida, we got the door!" Shoji as he and Jurota ran towards the door, their fists winded back. Iida quickly moved as the two powerhouses punched the door open, the hinges flying off from the impact.
"You pest!" Kurogiri exclaimed, surprised by the unexpected attack, as he was thrown in the air. Due mostly to his body being a mist, he managed to regain stability, but Ochako's attack had critically thrown him off.
Shoji and Jurota then used all of their strength to pry open the doors. As they cracked them, Kurogiri speeded towards them to attack again, only for Sero to use his tap Quirk to get the villain's plate. He, along with Monoma and Togaru, grabbed the tape and yank Kurogiri away from Iida. Swinging him around, before letting him fly into the air.
This gave Shoji and Jurota time to open the door enough for Iida to squeeze through.
"Go!" they all shouted as Iida ran out the door, using his highest gear to speed off back to U.A.
"He's going to call for backup," Kurogiri sighed. Narrowing his eyes, he warped himself away to warn his leader. Both of them need to leave before the Pro Heroes arrive.
Ruins Zone
"DIE!" Bakugo shouted as he blew away yet another thug, launching him back into a pillar.
"Think that's the last of 'em," Kirishima said as he took a moment to catch his breath.
"Ha! That didn't even count as a warmup!" Tetsutetsu said, turning his body back to normal. "So what now?"
"We gotta find the rest of our class," Kirishima said. "If we're still here then they must be too. We need to find our classmates and get back to the teachers."
"If you two wanna do that, go ahead. I'm gonna go blast that Mist Man too hell." Bakugo said.
"You're joking, right?" Tetsutetsu said. "Last time we did that our attacks didn't do anything to him. Are you seriously trying to stroke your own ego at a time like this?"
"Shut up! I'm gonna take him down because he's their exit. If I cut off their escape route then they're done for! Besides, I've already got a plan!"
"Really? What's-"
*BOOM*
Kirishima was cut short by another one of the grenadier's explosions as he knocked out a thug who'd tried to sneak up from behind. "Besides, if all these villains are small fries like these guys, then our classmates can handle them."
"I'm shocked that he knew about that villain even though he was invisible," Tetsutetsu said.
"Yeah… It's so weird seeing him so calm and rational," Kirishima noted.
"Really?" Tetsutetsu blinked. "What's he normally like?"
"Well… He's always yelling 'DIE' at the top of his lungs and has a scary scowl on his face."
"SHUT UP! I'M ALWAYS CLAM AND RATIONAL, YOU IDIOTS! DIE!" Bakugo yelled, having a scary scowl on his face.
"See!" Kirishima grinned.
"Wow, you're right," Tetsutetsu said.
"Anyway, if you wanna go hunt down everyone else then fine," Bakugo turned around and headed for the exit. "I'm going to take out that mist bastard."
"Wait, hold up. I think what you're really saying if you believe in our classmates." Tetsutetsu said, pounding his arms together as he activated his Quirk.
"If you do believe in them, then that means you believe in Midoriya, too," Kirishima said, activating his Quirk with his arms, pounding them together. "We'll tag along then."
Bakugo gritted his teeth at hearing Izuku's name but decided not to say anything. "Now, what's this plan of yours?"
Downpour Zone
"KA THUNK!"
Giant words suddenly flattened four villains at once.
"Where the hell did that come from!?" One yelled in shock.
"Haha, take that!" Manga taunted.
"Get him!" Several of the surviving villains ran toward the word-bubble headed teen, only for a shadowing hand appeared from the left of them, slamming two of them into the wall.
Before the remaining villains could react, the door to the right of them popped open, two hands pulling them in the darkness. The sound of screaming and multiple punches were heard before the villains were thrown back out.
Kuroiro stepped out of the darkness while Tokoyami exited from an alley.
"Good job. That makes eight." Tokoyami gave the two 1-B students a thumbs up, which they returned.
"We're slowly reducing their numbers. We just gotta keep using the darkness to attack them." Kuroiro said.
Conflagration Zone
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Kaminari cried as a huge bulky Villain thug aimed a punch at him. He narrowly dodged the devastating blow and began to run away from the thug.
"Idiot!" Kaibara, arm rapidly spinning, threw a punch at the villain, sending him flying.
"Thanks!" Kaminari huffed.
"You're the electric guy, aren't you?" Kaibara asked the blond. "Can't you zap them or something?"
"It's not that simple," Kaminari replied. "I can only cover myself with electricity! I can discharge electricity, but it's not like I can control it! I'll hit you too!"
"Ugh, then we should just keep moving," Kaibara hissed.
"There they are!"
"Oh crap!" Kaminari gapped as several more villains charged toward them, when suddenly…
"Thunder Horn!" A dozen flying horns flew past the two heroes-in-training, hitting the villains and knowing them down.
"Huh?"
Kaminari and Kaibara turned and saw Pony, Rin and Yui Sunni g up to them. "Hey guys!" Pony greeted.
"Are we glad to see you!" Kaibara said.
"Ragh! You brats!" Kaminari shrieked as the villains began to get up.
Yui, with her usual blank look, picked up a few pebbles and threw them towards the villains. The villains were about to scoff at the pebbles thrown when Yui put her fingers together. The pebbles suddenly grew in size, taking out the villains in a surprise attack.
"Come on," she said to the two.
"Uh, yeah…" Kaminari nodded dumbly as they followed the three.
Once they were outside, Rin closed the door. Mineta, who had waited outside, quickly got to work sealing the door shut with his sticky balls.
"Thanks for the save, in there," Kaminari said.
Mineta puffed his chest out proudly. "Don't mention it."
"Uh, you stayed out here and didn't help at all." Rin pointed out, neatly popping the grape boy's inflated self-image.
"O-Only to make sure no villain got out!" Mineta quickly said.
"Speaking of… Are we sure that'll stop them?" Kaibara asked, referring to the sticky ball lined door.
"Don't worry," Mineta reassured, placing a few more sticky balls on the door for good measure. "They're not going anywhere."
"Uh, Mineta, you're head's bleeding," Kaminari pointed out.
"I know!" Mineta groaned, pulling out a paper towel from his diaper-bowl.
Izuku could only watch in horror as the two villains slowly broke Aizawa and Vlad. Muscular easily had Vlad restrain, enjoying breaking the hero's arms and legs slowly. Aizawa laid broken on the ground, Nomu manhandling him like a doll. 'I saw Aizawa-sensei use his Quirk on that Nomu thing, but his power wasn't affected in the least. Does that mean… it's as strong as All Might!?' he thought in horror.
Hyde desperately held onto his right hand, doing his best to not charge in right then and there.
"Kero," Tsuyu had lowered herself in the water.
"Midoriya-kun…" Milia's voice was low, filled with dread. "What do we do?"
"Oi. Don't mess him up too much," Shigaraki told Muscular, who had punched Vlad's face. "You already know why."
Muscular shot him a withering look, displeased at his enjoyment being interrupted. Beneath him, Vlad visibly struggled to push him off the psychotic villain. "If this is about leaving wit-"
"Shut it," Shigaraki cut in, a sneer replacing his smug expression. "Don't forget why I brought you along, Muscular. It wasn't for leaking spoilers."
The floor crumbled further as the brawny man slammed his fist on the ground. "You can't expect me to not do anything and just sit on him!"
"Yeah?"
Shigaraki's scarlet eyes took on a dangerous glint, visible from between the fingers that obscured most of his face. Muscular returned the look with one of defiance.
Before either could say or do anything, however…
"Shigaraki Tomura."
At that moment, black mist gathered behind both of them. Kurogiri had returned from the entrance.
"Kurogiri. Then is Thirteen dead?"
"I have incapacitated her." Kurogiri's form rippled. "However, I'm afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me. One was able to escape with his life."
"…Shit!" Shigaraki scraped his neck in irritation, drawing long, red lines down pale skin. "If that brat gets past the villains we stationed outside, and if the heroes get here, then it's all but guaranteed game over. The difficulty has jumped from Hard to Merciless, assuming All Might doesn't show up before them… ah." A thought came to him, and he stilled. "Say, Kurogiri. No one's seen All Might go all out, yeah?"
Muscular gave a surprised bark of laughter as he caught on. "You little shit."
"I don't believe so," Kurogiri said, narrowing his golden eyes at Muscular in disapproval before sliding his gaze back to Shigaraki. "But do consider that you risk capture if some of the heroes ignore Nomu and Muscular and head straight for you, Shigaraki."
"I'm aware," slowly, Shigaraki turned to where the students are hiding. "But at the very least, we'll get to see both those heroes, All Might, lose their cool… if we bring them some dead students."
In the blink of an eye, Shigaraki had appeared in front of the hiding students at transonic speeds, with his hand aimed straight for Tsuyu's face. Time seemed to slow down for Izuku. He stood there, frozen, seeing Shigaraki's hand about to touch Tsuyu's face. Izuku's mind flashed to when Shigaraki grabbed Aizawa's arm. The way he destroyed his elbow. The way it crumbled away.
It was going to happen to Tsuyu.
She was going to die.
Before anyone could even react, Shigaraki had already placed his hand on Tsuyu's head, placing all 5 fingers on her head.
But… nothing happened.
"Tch," Shigaraki clicked his tongue. "You really are a cool guy aren't you… Eraserhead?"
Aizawa had his head raised up, using his Quirk and staring at Shigaraki with a death glare. Shigaraki merely tilted his head for Nomu to obey and slam Aizawa's head into the floor once more.
Without thinking, Izuku jumped out of the water, a look of rage on his face. Shigaraki's clearly different from the villains they've fought, and so was Nomu. He had to save Tsuyu and get them out of there.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Izuku screamed. "DRAGON-"
"Nomu."
"SMASH!"
[EXPLOSION!]
Izuku didn't wait for the dust to clear as he hurriedly grabbed Tsuyu and Milia, pulling them away from Shigaraki. Hyde quickly followed. "Are you okay?" Izuku asked Tsuyu once he was sure they were away from Shigaraki.
"I-I'm… okay…" the frog girl was still in shock. Her heart was racing. Slowly, Tsuyu's eyes looked up to Izuku, the faintest sign of a blush forming on her cheeks. She needed to thank him for saving her once this was all over.
"Um, guys…" Hyde had taken on a stance, ready to fight at a moment's notice. The other three to where Hyde was glaring, at where the villain was. But instead of Shigaraki, they saw Nomu.
"When did he get there?" Izuku asked in shock.
"Wait…" Milia's eyes widened in horror. "Midoriya-kun's attack… didn't hurt him…?"
Izuku's eyes widened, realizing that Milia was right. The same attack that both took down a Zero-Pointer and Riser, didn't seem to do anything to Nomu.
"That was a nice punch," an unharmed Shigaraki said. "You a fan of All Might? Too bad that Nomu was created to fight and kill All Might. Still, a dragon? And a red gauntlet? Are you…" Shigaraki turned to look at Izuku for a second. "It's far too dangerous to let you leave here alive. Nomu, kill him!"
Nomu, moving at impossible speed, suddenly grabbed Izuku's right arm and squeezed it as tightly as possible, causing him to yell in pain. Nomu then slammed Izuku into the ground before squeezing its hold on his arm. Izuku screamed in pain as the Nomu broke his arm.
"Izuku!" Milia cried, extending her claws she stabbed the Nomu's arm. But the beast barely even flinched at the action, but it was enough to lose its grip on Izuku's arm, who struggled to pull his arm away. Tsuyu quickly wrapped her tongue around Izuku and pulled him away as Milia stabbed Nomu again.
"Midroiya-chan! You okay?" Tsuyu asked, visibly worried.
"Y-Yeah…" Izuku grunted out. He couldn't feel anything in his arm anymore.
[Izuku, what that hand guy said…]
Izuku mentally nodded. 'Yeah…' Izuku looked word Shigaraki, a cruel grin on his cracked lips.
"Midoriya, hang on!" Hyde called out, but before he could move in to help, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the villain who had beaten Vlad charge him, giving him just enough time to barely step to the side before a giant fist was plowed into the ground. As he skidded to a halt, Insulator readied at his side, he saw that the villain's arm was covered in a writhing mass of sinew and muscle.
"You dodged. Good," Muscular said. "It wouldn't be any fun if you just stood there and gave it to me."
Iida began to feel his engine beginning to stall. 'No, not now!' Iida gritted his teeth, begging and willing his engines to keep working. He was only about halfway to U.A., and the more time he wasted getting there, the more likely something terrible will befall one of his classmates.
A giant steel ball flying sword him suddenly stopped him in his tracks. The ball just barely hit him as he ducked, skidding to a halt.
"Look, Wrecker. A kid managed to make it out."
Emerging from the bushes and trees on either side of the road, four villains stepped out. One had the steel ball connected to a chain wrapped around his right arm and another was carrying a large crowbar.
"Ain't that Ingenium's kid brother?"
"Yeah," the one with the crowbar, the apparent leader, nodded. "We've got a bone to pick with him, don't we boys?"
Iida scowled. "I don't know what 'bone' you have with him, but that doesn't matter now. I need to get through."
"Not happening, Kidgenium," the crowbar wielding villain said. "Shigaraki hired us to make sure none of you brats make it back to U.A. in one piece. Wrecking Crew, let's wreak!"
Milia cried out in pain as the Nomu, despite the ten claws piercing its arms, easily moved before breaking the claws. "Takamaki!" Izuku cried out as he ran to her along with Tsuyu.
"I… I'm fine…" Milia muttered, blood dripping from her fingers. "I sorry… I wasn't able to hold it off."
Izuku glared at the beast. It wasn't attacking yet for some reason. "Midoriya-chan, what do we do?" Tsuyu asked fearfully.
"Whatever you're planning to do, DO IT FAST!" Hyde called out as Muscular attacked. Hyde stabbed the Insulator into the ground.
"GYRE VORTEX!"
A massive burst of dark energy caught Muscular off guard, launching him, as luck would have it, into Nomu, sending them into an adjacent wall.
"Whoa!" Hyde exclaimed. "Talk about luck."
Izuku nodded before he turned to Aizawa and Vlad King. The two weren't moving. "We gotta bet Aizawa and Vlad out of here fast!"
"Right!"
"Kero!"
Hyde and Tsuyu rushed over to the teachers while Milia stayed with Izuku. Izuku winced as he held his limp arm. [You going to be okay, brat?] Ddraig asked.
Izuku looked between where Nomu and Muscular landed before looking toward Kurogiri and Shigaraki, the later seemingly not wanting to participate yet. 'I survived against Raynare, the Port Mafia, Riser, and Momo and Ibara's cooking. I can survive this.'
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw that Kurogiri disappeared in the second he looked away.
"Where did he-"
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that," said Kurogiri. He had appeared in-between the teachers and Tsuyu and Hyde.
"Oh crap!" Hyde hissed.
Nomu squawked as it emerged from the rubble, Muscular following. Muscular's cloak had been torn and shredded, while his mask was now missing, reveling the scar over his missing left eye… and his sadistic smile.
He chuckled darkly. "Good, good~!" Muscular grinned. "You kids got some fight in ya. Now, SHOW ME YOUR BLOOD!" Muscular screeched, lunging towered Izuku. But then, bursting out of the ground, dozens of bone spikes impaled Muscular limbs, saluting the villain. "GAH! Damnit! What the hell?!" He screeched as one bone pressed its point against his neck, ready to cut the jugular at a moment's notice.
Then, out of nowhere, Bakugo came and let off an explosion in Kurogiri's side. "Get the hell out of the way, Clownfish!" He yelled and pinned the mist villain to the ground by his plates. Izuku was surprised by Bakugo's entrance, but then he saw ice forming and heading for Nomu. It reached the monster's leg and built up his body to his arm. Leaving him frozen. Looking to where the ice came from, Izuku saw Todoroki, Liana, and Honenuki standing a few feet away.
"Guys!" Izuku exclaimed, happy to see some of their classmates.
"Sorry we took so long," Kirishima said as he appeared, with Tetsutetsu jumping into the air and yelling out a battle cry as he went to attack Shigaraki. But before he could land a hit, the easily jumped away. Seeing that he didn't get him, Tetsutetsu moved away. "Damn! That would've been cool!"
"Yeah," Tetsutetsu nodded.
"Guess I found your body that time, huh, ya smoky bastard," Bakugo said with a cocky grin.
"If you even think of moving, you'll die Muscular," Liana hissed to the villain.
"One of your poorly trained thugs told me you're here because you think you can kill All Might," Todoroki told the leader. "If you can't beat any of us, then you have no chance against the Symbol of Peace."
Izuku glared at Shigaraki. "It's over. Give it up."
Hero Academia D×D Omake: Valentine's Disaster
Takes place between Chapters 12 and 13
Izuku never really understood Valentine's Day. Well, that wasn't technically true, he knew it was a day girls give chocolate to the boys they like. But as the only chocolate he ever received was from his mom, he never truly gave the day any thought.
Of course, that was before he became a devil. Now that he actually had several girls as friends now, there was a chance he'd get at least some chocolate from one of them. The thought made him blush a little. As he sat at his desk as school ended, he could hear some of his classmates talk among themselves.
"Well… What should I do now? I'm going to hang out here for a bit longer, but I don't know what to do…"
"…Not like there's anything for me to do at home, anyway. …I got it! I'll go up to the roof or something."
"I'm going to be behind the school building. You know, just because."
Three boys left the classroom, likely because most of the girls are already gone.
Izuku decided that now was as good a time as any to leave. As it was Valentine's Day, Rias said that there weren't any club activities, but they did need to meet up, so he might as well go get Ibara and head home.
"Midoriya-kun…" turning around Izuku saw a heavily blushing Milia. In her hand was a rather large box of chocolate. "This is for you…"
"Uh…" Izuku blushed heavily as he received the box from Milia. "T-Thank you, Takamaki-san."
"Y-You're welcome. I m-made them myself. P-P-Pl-Please e-enjoy!" She hurriedly left the classroom.
Izuku blinked in confusion at that. He then opened the box of chocolate she had given him. The chocolates inside had a mint smell and were a mix of regular chocolates with green-colored white chocolate.
"You got this from Takamaki?" Ochako asked once she, Izuku and Ibara arrived at the ORC room.
"Y-Yeah, I was kinda surprised," Izuku said. He had brought the chocolate with him, thinking he could share some of it with the others. "The mint makes it really good," he added
Ochako began to blush, "Then… here!" Reaching into her bag, Ochako pulled out a small bag of chocolate mochi. "H-Happy Valentine's Day, Izu-kun!"
"Uh, t-thank you," Izuku accepted the bag.
"H-Here's mine!" Ibara quickly handed Izuku a light green box.
"Oh, th-thanks," he stuttered. Opening the box Izuku found a dozen misshapen chocolates in the shape of animals, but he couldn't figure out what the animals were. Shrugging off the appearance, he took one piece before eating it. The second Izuku took a bite of Ibara's chocolate, however, his eyes widened as his mouth puckered inward. "Urgh!"
"I-Izuku-san?" Ibara worriedly asked.
Izuku struggled to speak. "It's… r-rather… sour…"
"Sour?" Ochako took one of Ibara's chocolate and took a bite. Her mouth began to pucker as her eyes watered. "SO SOUR!"
Ibara hung her head in shame. "I… guess I added too much vinegar."
'Vinegar!?'
"I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to add vinegar to chocolate," said Yuuto as he entered the clubroom, carrying two huge bags full of boxed chocolates. "Sorry that I'm late. A lot more girls gave me chocolate than I had expected."
"Wow Yuuto, that's quite a haul," said Izuku.
"Yeah," Yuuto chuckled as he placed the bags on the table. "You should've seen what it was like last year. I received so much chocolate that I could barely carry them around. Glad I was well prepared with the bags I brought."
"That makes sense," Izuku sighed.
It wasn't long after that Rias and Koneko arrived, each handing out chocolate to everyone present. Rias' chocolates were heart-shaped and delicious compared to other regular chocolates. Koneko's chocolates were all cat-shaped and were milk chocolates with a small portion of dark and white.
Kyoka and Momo were the last to arrive, each carrying a bag. "Sorry if we're late," Momo apologized. "It took a while to get our chocolate ready."
"That's fine," Rias said as Kyoka handed everyone her chocolate. Kyoka's were shaped like musical notes and were a mix of milk, dark, and white chocolate.
"These are really good, Kyoka," Ochako complimented.
"Thanks," Kyoka blushed. "Your turn Momo. You did buy your chocolate, right?" Kyoka asked.
Momo fidgeted slightly. "Actually…"
Kyoka's eyes suddenly widened in terror. "No… Please, tell me you didn't!"
Nodding, Momo oped her bag and pulled out her chocolate… if it should even be called that, given how everyone present flinched in fear at what they saw. The 'chocolate' was more purple and green than the usual chocolate brown and CENSORED. It also seemed to give off a dark aura. By some strange miracle, it didn't have any smell at all.
Kyoka's eye twitch. "…You did."
"Uh ha… is that even chocolate?" Ochako hesitantly asked.
"I just wanted to make some chocolate for everyone," Momo said, though her tone suggested she didn't expect her concoction to be… this!
"Momo, the last time you cooked, you nearly killed my dad!"
Everyone began to back away.
"T-That was an accident! I just got some of the ingredients wrong."
"'Accidents' don't result in something that is gritty yet slimy, crunchy yet soggy, burnt yet cold, and spicy yet sweet all in one!"
"What?" Izuku asked, eyes wide.
"That… doesn't sound physically possible," Ochako muttered.
Momo hung her head, "Is it okay for someone to at least try it?" She asked.
Everyone present stared at Momo and her… Mystery Dish. "Guys…" everyone but Momo looked to Kyoka. "I'm telling this as your friend. Don't do it!"
Everyone turned back to Momo, who was giving them all a hopeful look.
"I would love to," Yuuto said, "but I… had enough chocolate already!"
"N-No thanks!" Ibara stuttered.
"It doesn't matter how much you're willing to pay me, I'm not eating something like that!" Ochako said.
"I… I'm opting out," Koneko said.
"Sorry," Rias said, "but I am not going to partake in… whatever that is!" Rias' eyes suddenly widened in horror when she realized who was left.
Momo looked to Izuku expectingly. Izuku was about to say no when he saw that Momo seemed on the verge of crying. Gulping, he decided to at least take the chance. "F-Fine, but only a small bite!"
All color left Kyoka as she stared at Izuku in shock.
Slowly, Izuku took a fork and prepared a bite. But before he could even close his mouth around the utensil…
*THUD!*
Izuku collapsed, the close contact with the… entity being too much for him. All color left him as he twitched on the ground, his soul trying to escape his mouth. "Izuku/Izu-kun!" Most of the girls screamed while Yuuto watched in horror.
"Saw that coming," Kyoka deadpanned.
It took an hour and a half of Ibara using Twilight Healing to revive Izuku. During that time Rias did everything she could to destroy the abomination referred to as 'chocolate'. "I'm sorry," Momo bowed, her face red due to embarrassment and guilt.
Rias, while glad that Momo apologized, still was miffed that Izuku nearly died because of her cooking. "I think it's safe to say that you're banned from cooking without supervision."
"Amen," everyone said.
"How are you doing, Izuku-san?" Ibara asked. He had been oddly quiet, having barely taken a bite of the other girls' chocolate.
"Are you okay after that?" Ochako asked with concern.
"I…" he began. "I can't taste anything! I think whatever that thing was destroyed all my taste buds! I keep trying everyone's chocolate, but I can't taste anything!"
"Oh no," Rias said. "Just what did you put in that thing, Momo?" She demanded.
Momo blushed as she answered. "Uh, ice coffee, bell peppers, vinegar, fish sausage, among other things."
"…What?"
It took roughly a week for Izuku to regain any sense of taste.
AN:
Yes, the omake is canon. I might make it part of a side story later if you want.
Getting close to the end of the USJ now. Shigaraki is defiantly different here than how he started in canon, huh?
Also, I decided to hold a poll about who should get One For All. And please, will EVERYONE please vote this time! For crying out loud, only 33 people out of close to 400 voted! The poll will be held on my FanFiction account and will be held for two weeks. Oh, and Izuku will be an option. I want to see how many of you want him to be OP.
Fun fact, the *Shlikt* sound Liana makes when she uses her Quirk is the same as when Wolverine extends his claws when they're not coated in adamantium.
Oh, and please contribute to the TV Tropes page.
UPDATE! The poll is over. Results will be announced next chapter.
