As the mist villain surrounded the class in his mist, Tokage and Tsunotori felt someone push them out of the area and back into the light. Before they could turn around the dark mist was gone with their classmates vanished as well.
"It seems two of you escaped my grasp, no matter I will dispose of you now as well." The mist villain spread his body once again, aiming to cover them in darkness and send them away as well. Unfortunately, he wouldn't get the chance to do so.
"Pony, move!" Tokage used the other girls shorter name to get her attention quick before splitting her body into multiple pieces and separating. The mist villain tried to catch her, sending portal after portal at the girl but with her quirk she was too agile.
Tsunotori also used her quirk, launching her horns and holding onto them to drag her away. She didn't have time to position herself onto her horns as she usually did so she was forced to fly away from the portals using this method.
"You insignificant bugs, just disappear!" The mist villain grew irritated, spreading his body once again like he did with the class and catching some of Tokage's pieces inside. However, there were still some pieces that the villain missed such as her head and arms.
Tokage split her mouth from her body, sending it chasing after Tsunotori to start communicating with her. "Pony, I'm gonna try and open the door. I need you to distract him as much as you can." The horse girl nodded her head in understanding before launching another pair of horns from her head.
"Hey you! You can't even get rid of two girls; you must suck at your job!" Tsunotori tried to aggravate the villain, keeping his attention on her and away from what Tokage was doing. It seemed to work as the villain started launching more portals at the horse girl instead of the pieces of Tokage's body.
Tokage in the meanwhile had launched her hands at the door and was attempting to pry it open. It didn't need to be opened too much, just enough to allow an eye and mouth to exit through so she could fly and contact the school.
A minute of trying to pry open the door and it finally budged a small bit. This little opening allowed Tokage to get a better grip on the door and have an easier time opening the door. The villain though took notice of the door opening and turned his attention away from Tsunotori to investigate.
"You think I will allow you to escape!" The villain launched his mist body at the hands of Tokage, though it was unable to reach her as the mist began being sucked away. The villain turned to see what was causing this, only to find that Thirteen had woken up enough to activate her quirk and suck his body away from the escaping Tokage.
"Get out of here… contact the school…" Thirteen was barely holding consciousness, using all of her left-over energy to activate her quirk and giving Tokage a chance. The door opened further, enough so Tokage could slip her mouth and an eye out and begin making the trek back to campus.
'Drats, reinforcements will be coming soon. It's game over.' The mist villain though in his mind as his body continued to be sucked into the space hero's quirk. He eventually teleported himself away, leaving Thirteen and Tsunotori alone with half of Tokage's face and arms.
Tsunotori moved to Thirteen's side, checking her condition to make sure the hero would survive her injuries. There was blood leaking from the hero's back in multiple places, not enough to kill the hero in minutes, but enough that if she didn't get treatment soon, she would surely die.
With no other ideas, Tsunotori ripped a strip off her skirt and bunched it up and held it against the heroes wound. She motioned for the body of Tokage to help her, ripping another piece of her skirt and handing it to the mute body, even if she couldn't speak, she could understand what was needed of her.
Another minute passed and Tsunotori heard some heavy breathing coming up the steps that led to the plaza where Vlad and the group of villains were fighting. Thinking the breathing was a villain she activated her quirk and had two horns hovering by her side and ready to attack.
Coming up the steps was an exhausted Rin, reaching the top of the steps and collapsing. He was sweating all over and looked like he had just run a marathon. A moment later and his shadow morphed, letting Kuroiro loose who immediately moved to the downed hero's side.
"What's the situation here." Kuroiro immediately took charge, letting Rin take a breather and taking over for Tsunotori who was completely stressed from the situation and shivering all over.
"Tokage sent her mouth and an eye out of the building, she should get reinforcements soon. Thirteen, her quirk shredded her back and I didn't know what to do so I tried applying pressure, but I don't know if it's working or if I'm making anything worse, but I couldn't just do nothing, and then I heard Rin coming up the stairs and I thought you were villains, and now I think I'm having a panic attack!" Tsunotori didn't breath at all as she spoke.
Kuroiro had trouble understanding what the American girl said but understood that Tokage had sent some of her pieces to get help. They just had to hope that they would make it in time.
"You did good Pony, everything is going to be fine. Just wait for the heroes to get here and everything will be okay." Kuroiro tried to calm the girl down, comforting her that she did the right thing and that everything would be alright.
Another minute passes and a few sets of steps are heard coming up the stairs. Rin, who had recovered enough to stand up once again, held his arms up and prepared his quirk to attack. Kaibara, Tsuburaba, Absolute Zero and Shiozaki in the Zero's arms climbed the steps. Rin lowered his arms in relief, going up to the group and hugging them.
"It's good to see that you're alright. What happened to you guys?" Kaibara narrated the events of what happened to Rin while Zero walked up to the downed hero to inspect her wounds.
"Damn, that is some nasty stuff. I can't heal her, at best I can stabilize her, but until Shining gets here, we can't be sure she'll make it." Zero removed the hero's helmet, waved his hand and created another glass with the liquid he gave to Tsuburaba and let her drink it.
The liquid acted fast, the wounds on her back healing over but not vanishing completely. She wasn't gushing blood anymore, but there were still too many injuries to call her healed.
The air in the area warmed up causing some of the students to begin sweating while Zero looked up to the sky. From above the stairs came a red meteor with a fiery trail behind him. Nova Master landed in front of the group, resting Shoda who was in his arms next to Thirteen before talking with Zero.
"Possible broken ribs, needed to get him out quickly. The others who I were with should be making their way here now, try to stabilize him until Shining can get here while I go grab the other two." Nova didn't wait for a reply before blasting off into the direction he came.
Zero made another glass and let Shoda drink it, letting the boy relax in his breathing before falling asleep. Zero knew that the boy was just exhausted, and even though the liquid could help him it wasn't a full solution.
Another minute passed and in the distance a loud roar was heard. Everyone turned to look in the direction that the roar came from, the plaza where Vlad was fighting the villains. Now, there was a large beast fighting another creature, one with black skin, a bird like head and its brain exposed.
Lighting was crackling from the fight as the two beasts clashed, forcing the villains in the area to back off and focus on Vlad. Eventually, the beasts fist collided, and a bright light engulfed them blocking the views of everyone that was looking at them.
Distracting them from the display of power, more sets of steps were making their way up the stairs, this time with a man clad in black armour with two black cloaks billowing in an invisible wind. Tetsutetsu, Kodai and Honenuki had arrived at the staircase with Escuridao escorting them.
Escuridao walked up to Zero and gave a report before walking back down the stairs and jumping down. He delivered the students to Zero and he would be able to protect them, now he needed to deal with the filth that dared interrupt his king.
The air heated up once again, Nova Master returning with two more students in his arms. Komori and Kamakiri walked to the other students and let Nova fly away into the fray with the other villains. Zero just shook his head at his friends battle hungry nature.
Finally, a ball of light appeared over the group and down descended three students and a white armour-clad man. Kendo, Shishida and Bondo moved to their classmates, Kendo inspecting her classmates for any injuries and asking questions about the location of Clay.
After learning that Shoda had been injured and that Clay hadn't returned yet, the vice rep walked up to The Shining and asked him to heal Shoda and Thirteen up. Shining happily agreed and voiced that he would've done it anyway as it was in the orders that Clay had given them, but Kendo thanked him anyway.
Shining walked over to Zero who was making sure there were no incidents with the injured. When Zero noticed Shining's presence he visibly relaxed and even hugged the other hero. Shining told him to go join the battle to which Zero happily agreed to, after telling him that he had given them the liquid to stabilize them.
Shining walked over to the two, kneeling down and holding his hands out above the two injured people. His hands glowed the same warm light that they had previously and the wounds on Thirteen's back visibly healed. The skin grew back and replaced the old dead skin, not leaving a trace of any injury.
Shoda's recovery was less remarkable, the injury being inside the boy and not noticeable to the naked eye, though the boy's breathing became even calmer, returning to its regular cycles. The hero nodded his head, happy with the results and walked back to Kendo to let her know that there would be no other incidents.
Learning that there were no problems anymore, Kendo shed tears of joy as she bowed her head to the hero even after he protested against it. Some other classmates joined in thanking him and asking him to pass on their thanks to the other heroes when this was all over, to which he agreed.
Seeing that there would be no more problems here, Shining left his eight obelisks here to watch over the students. The obelisks would attack anything will hostile intent against the students, leaving him free to assist his comrades down below.
Before the students had been separated Vlad had jumped down the stairs and into the crowd of villains. The first round of villains aimed their quirks at the hero before letting loose their volley, aiming to take the hero down before he even reached the ground.
Vlad activated his own quirk, creating a shield of blood in his free hand while he held onto the blood blade in his other. The blood hardened as he held it in front of him, taking the volley head on with the shield not gaining a scratch.
"Who the hell is this guy?" Some of the villains questioned as they continued to fire. They knew that All Might and Thirteen were going to be here, but they didn't know about this third hero.
"That's Vlad King, his quirk lets him control his own blood." A knowledgeable villain exposed the villain before being his by a blood pellet. Vlad had reabsorbed the blood from the shield after the volley of projectiles had stopped and had instead moved onto making an automatic slingshot with his quirk. The pellets weren't strong enough to kill, but they were strong enough to disrupt the villains' attacks.
Vlad continued to fire blood pellets at the enemies, disrupting any attacks that he deemed a threat while also engaging in close combat with the villains using his blood blade. He tried to keep an eye on the villain at the back, the one with the misty body that let them in, but when he looked back he saw that he was gone.
'Damn, the troublesome one got away. I bet Eraser wouldn't have let him go.' Vlad continued fighting away the villains, hoping that his class had managed to escape the building and had contacted the campus.
"The schedule we collected said Eraser Head was supposed to be here, who the hell are you?" The villain at the back covered in several severed hands all across his body was scratching at his neck as he spoke. Vlad couldn't completely hear what he was saying but he understood that these guys were the ones who broke in yesterday.
After knocking another villain away and gaining some breathing room, Vlad turned his attention to the hand villain and questioned him. "So you're the one that broke in yesterday. Why have you invaded this facility?"
"It's quite simple really," the villain held his arms out wide as he continued to speak, "We came here to kill the symbol of peace!" The villains all cheered in agreement with the hand villain, Vlad scowling as he wondered if these people were crazy.
"But he doesn't seem to be here." The villain continued scratching his neck in what Vlad assumed was frustration. "After I went through all the trouble to bring all these people here and even created the perfect Symbol of Peace killing machine."
The villain motioned to the monster by his side, a black bird monster, as muscular as All Might, taller than the man as well, but with his brain exposed. It was a grotesque abomination that nearly made Vlad retch, if he hadn't been a pro for so long he would've lost his lunch already.
"Maybe if the kids are killed, he'll arrive sooner?" As if that were a signal, the villains all charged at Vlad once again, the hero going on the defensive and creating another blood shield. Vlad had a bad feeling, he needed to finish this quickly and get back to the kids.
Then, in the distance a roar was heard. The villains stopped in their tracks, curious as to what had made that sound. Then a louder roar was heard, the bird brain villain roaring in response as if it were being challenged. The hand villain raised his own hand, telling the monster to stand down while he watched the direction that the roar came from.
Vlad continued fighting the villains, making use of the distraction the roar had given him to take down a few more of the villains. Though when one last roar louder than the others, followed by what sounded like wings flapping echoed throughout the plaza, Vlad also stopped what he was doing.
Landing in the plaza was a large monster, dark red body with metallic armour, covered in sharp blades that had yellow highlights that somewhat resembled lightning bolts. The creature had two large wings of glowing orange energy, lightning crackling from the wings in a random pattern. The tail of the creature was a large orange orb with lightning bolt shaped blades encasing the orange orb, more electricity being released and zapping the ground.
The head of the monster was terrifying, sharp blades protruding from nearly every available surface and releasing lightning as well. The monsters hand also glowed dangerously with a ball of light and energy in its hand.
Vlad hadn't seen this monster before, but he had a feeling that this was one of Clay's summons. He didn't know why this monster had arrived in the plaza, but if Clay had sent it then he must've been safe for the time being.
"Nomu, deal with that monster." The bird monster roared is response, though his roar was nothing compared to the dragons. Faster than Vlad's eyes could track, the bird monster rushed at the dragon and punched it in the gut, stabbing his own hand onto the blades covering the monster's underbelly.
The Nomu roared in response, ripping its hand away from the blades and bringing a trail of electricity with him that was cut soon after. The dragon almost chuckled to itself after taking the punch and not moving, but it waved its tail around and prepared its own attack.
Pivoting on the spot, the dragon turned and slammed its tail down on the Nomu, releasing more electricity that reached some of the villains and caused them to convulse. This caused the villains to all run away from the monster, heading in the direction of Vlad who got back into a combat stance.
The Nomu pushed the tail off of its body, its movements stiff and shaking as if it took a great effort to even move a finger. The dragon wouldn't let the abomination go though, walking up to the creature and readied the blades on its arm. With one quick motion, the dragon zoomed past the creature and sliced its arm clean off, blood spurting from the wound and covering the ground.
"What the hell sort of cheat is this?" The hand villain scratched his neck harder, skin peeling and some bleeding as he continued to scratch. "Nomu, get up and kill that thing!"
Nomu roared and did something that surprised Vlad who had ended up watching the fight, it grew a brand new arm from where its old one was. The Nomu however struggled to get up, the electricity that had built up in its body locking up the beast's muscles.
The dragon didn't move, waiting for its partner to get up once again so they could finish their fight. It took a good minute before the monster was standing once again, but the creatures movements were still slow and stiff.
With another roar, the creature moved as fast as it could and reared a fist back to punch the dragon once again. The dragon snorted in amusement, rearing its own fist back with the ball of energy in it, and colliding fists in mid air and creating a ball of light.
Vlad didn't understand what was happening anymore, the bird monster was the fastest thing he had ever seen, save for All Might, and this dragon was toying with it. He didn't know the strength behind the monster as the dragon stood there without taking an ounce of damage, so he assumed that he just had a basic strength augmenting quirk.
Then the abomination did something that was completely unnatural and regrew an arm! How was anyone supposed to fight a creature that could regenerate even a lost limb.
The hand villain though, he knew of Nomu's strength. He knew of all the quirks the bird monster had, {Shock Absorption}, {Regeneration} even a few strength enhancers to match his already monstrous strength. It was supposed to be stronger than All Might, the strongest in the world! And yet here was this completely unknown creature completely annihilating Nomu.
"No, no, no, no, no, nononononononononono!" The hand villain scratched furiously, drawing a greater amount of blood from his scratching as he watched the fight. Then he heard a woosh behind him, the mist villain had returned. "You better have good news or I'm going to turn you to ash."
There was a pause as the mist villain debated whether to report what had happened, but in the end, he decided it would be better to say the truth. "I'm sorry master Tomura, but one of the students was able to escape my grasp and is on the way to collect reinforcements. I believe it would be wise to retreat now."
There was silence for a moment, then a scream of rage from the Tomura that sent chills down both Vlad's and the mist villain's spines. Then, Tomura stopped yelling and started taking deep breaths. "Fine, Kurogiri, let's get out of here." And just like that the mist villain, Kurogiri created a portal and swallowed both himself and Tomura up.
As the two villains fled from the field, there was a scream of pain and terror from one of the villains that had arrived with the two. Vlad looked over, expecting to see the dragon over the villains and attacking them, instead he found a thin, black armour-clad man controlling the shadows underneath some of the villains and having them attack for him.
"You filth have no right to interrupt my kings learning, I should rip you to shreds." The new arrival spoke in a soft voice, but it was filled with rage and aggression. A few moments later and the air started heating up, causing the man to sigh in annoyance. "Damn it. Make sure to stay out of my way Nova."
"Oh, come on Escuridao, you know I was going to be here for this fight!" A man clad in red armour flew down from the sky, fire blazing from his feet and keeping him afloat as he looked down at his enemies with his arms crossed. "Besides, I ain't the only one here."
Soon after the two arrived a third appeared, chilling the air in a complete contrast to Nova's appearance. The sound of ice travelling reached Vlad's ears and the villains were encased in ice, trapping them and stopping them from moving.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late." Another voice spoke out, so he turned to investigate who this person was, finding a familiar figure standing with ice emerging from his foot. It was one of the first monsters that Clay had shown to the class, Elemental Hero Absolute Zero.
"When's Shining getting here?" Nova questioned Zero who didn't bother to answer. Instead, Zero just pointed behind him and a ball of light descended the stairs and landed next to Vlad. Vlad was completely stunned at the appearance of all these new monsters.
"Sorry about the late introductions, I'm [Elemental Hero The Shining], but you can call me Shining." Shining held out his hand, snapping Vlad out from his stupor as he grasped the hand offered to him. "We were summoned by Clay to find and guard the students; they should all be at the top of the stairs right now."
Vlad nodded his head, grateful that someone had found and protected his students. Then, every one of the hero's stopped what they were doing, going stiff and turning their attention in one direction. Without warning, the group all charged towards the mountain zone where Clay had gone after sending the hero's away.
It took a minute for the hero's to arrive at the mountain zone, enough time for Clay to fall into a deep sleep with help from Yubel. A bit further away was three more students, the ones that Clay had gone to collect and bring back to the entrance.
"Shining, go deal with the kids." Yubel ordered the hero and he nodded his head, floating over to the kids and waving his hand over their heads healing them. Yanagi who was on the ground bleeding from her head stopped bleeding and woke up, seeing the sight in front of her with bodies of villains surrounding Clay and what looked like a demon cradling the student.
Awase and Fukidashi calmed down after having the light pass over them, regaining their senses enough for them to move away with Yanagi following the hero back to the entrance. When Clay and his monsters were alone they finally spoke to one another.
"What happened to him?" Zero was the first to break the silence, walking over to Clay and Yubel and touching his forehead, feeling the boy burning up.
"He found the girl injured and the boys fighting for their lives to protect her. He went into a rage seeing one of his classmates in pain and became an Evil Hero." The others gasped at his words, only hearing about the Evil Hero's from stories they would be told when they were younger.
"But they're the servants of the Supreme King, how is Clay able to utilize their power as well?" Nova questioned, questioning Yubel for answers as she was the oldest of the spirits that they knew.
"Because Clay is a reincarnation of the Supreme King. Escuridao knows it, that's why he calls him 'king' unlike the rest of you." Yubel dropped a bomb on the heroes as they turned their heads to Escuridao who nodded his head.
"Then that means…" Zero didn't finish his thought, his gaze returning to Yubel who nodded her head in confirmation.
"The Light of Destruction is coming."
