A few days after the UA entrance exam, Izuku was having dinner with his mother. The TV in the living room was on, broadcasting the news. As Izuku ate and chatted with his mom, his attention was drawn to the news on TV. He quickly finished his dinner and hurried to the living room to watch the broadcast.
"Mom, look at this," Izuku said, pointing to the screen. "It's a live feed from a port city on the coast."
On the screen, a group of heroes was trying to capture an unknown villain. The scene was chaotic, with dozens of local heroes already on the scene. Despite their efforts, the villain was still at large. Izuku watched closely, his heart pounding. The camera panned over several heroes who were either injured or unconscious.
"Why can't they stop him?" Izuku muttered, anxiety creeping into his voice.
His mother joined him in the living room, her face etched with concern. "It looks serious. I hope they'll be okay."
The broadcast continued to show the dire situation. More and more heroes were falling, their attempts to subdue the villain proving futile. Izuku clenched his fists, feeling a mixture of fear and frustration.
"They need more help," he said, almost to himself. "This villain is too strong for them."
Izuku's mother placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "They'll figure something out, Izuku. They always do."
But Izuku could only nod absently, his eyes glued to the screen. The villain, a hulking figure with an aura of menace, seemed unstoppable. The news anchor's voiceover provided some details.
"Authorities believe the villain might be from abroad, possibly Russia, though this hasn't been confirmed. His quirk appears to enhance his strength and give him extreme durability. So far, all attempts to subdue him have failed."
Izuku saw footage of police trying to shoot the villain, but the bullets bounced off his body, injuring other heroes in the process. It was a chaotic and desperate scene.
"Why isn't anyone stopping him?" Izuku whispered, his worry growing by the second.
Just then, a glimmer of hope appeared on the screen. "Breaking news: The number three hero, Hawks, has arrived at the scene."
"Hawks!" Izuku exclaimed, leaning forward. "Maybe he can help."
The broadcast showed Hawks swooping in, immediately evacuating the injured heroes and civilians. He moved with incredible speed, a blur of feathers and determination. Once everyone was safe, Hawks launched an attack on the villain. However, despite his best efforts, his feathers were easily destroyed by the villain's immense strength.
Izuku's heart sank as he saw Hawks struggling. "He's not strong enough to take this guy down. What are they going to do?"
Hawks managed to avoid getting hurt thanks to his speed, but his feathers were being destroyed faster than he could regenerate them. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, another figure appeared on the scene.
"It's Endeavor!" Izuku shouted, feeling a surge of relief. "Maybe he can do it!"
Endeavor wasted no time, launching a barrage of intense flames at the villain. The flames engulfed the villain, and for a moment, it looked like he might be defeated. Izuku held his breath, hoping against hope.
But as the flames began to die down, the villain emerged, still standing. His clothes were burnt to ashes, but his body was unscathed. He looked furious.
"No way," Izuku breathed. "Not even Endeavor's flames could stop him?"
The villain, now enraged, lunged at Endeavor with a powerful punch. Endeavor barely managed to dodge by igniting his flames to boost his speed. The villain's punch hit the asphalt, creating a massive crater.
"This is bad," Izuku said, his anxiety reaching a peak. "How can they beat someone like this?"
Izuku's mother hugged him tightly. "They will, Izuku. They have to. The heroes always find a way."
As the fierce battle continued on the screen, Izuku couldn't tear his eyes away, praying silently for the heroes' victory.
Endeavor's flames danced around him as he dodged another punch from the villain. His expression was grim, sweat dripping down his face. He launched another fiery attack, but the villain shrugged it off as if it were nothing more than a warm breeze.
"Dammit!" Endeavor muttered under his breath. "What is this guy made of?"
The villain, eyes burning with fury, charged at Endeavor again. The ground shook with every step he took. Despite Endeavor's best efforts, it was clear he was being pushed to his limits.
In the living room, Izuku was on the edge of his seat, his heart pounding. "Come on, Endeavor," he whispered. "You can do it."
Endeavor threw another punch, flames roaring from his fist, but the villain blocked it effortlessly. With a roar, the villain swung his massive arm, aiming straight for Endeavor's head.
Time seemed to slow down. Izuku could see the sheer power behind the villain's attack, and he knew that if it connected, Endeavor might not get up again.
"No!" Izuku shouted at the TV, his voice trembling with fear.
Just as the villain's punch was about to land, a blur of movement zipped across the screen. A massive shockwave followed, and the next moment, the villain was sent flying, crashing through several buildings before splashing into the ocean far away.
Izuku's eyes widened as the dust settled, revealing All Might standing tall, his fist still extended from the punch. "All Might!"
The Number One Hero turned to face Endeavor, who was breathing heavily but uninjured. "Are you alright, Endeavor?"
Endeavor straightened up, his pride wounded but his body intact. "I'm fine," he said, his voice steadying. "I could have handled it."
All Might gave him a knowing smile. "Of course, you could. But now's not the time for pride. We need to work together to protect everyone."
Endeavor nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Fine. But this isn't over."
Back in the living room, Izuku let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "All Might saved him," he said, his voice filled with admiration and relief. "He always saves everyone."
His mother smiled, squeezing his shoulder gently. "That's why he's the Number One Hero, Izuku. He never gives up, and neither should you."
Izuku nodded, feeling a renewed sense of determination. The road ahead was going to be tough, but watching his heroes fight with everything they had, he knew he would give it his all to become a hero worthy of standing beside them.
As All Might stood tall, surveying the scene, a tense silence fell over the area. The villain had been sent flying into the ocean, and for a moment, it seemed like the danger had passed.
"Did you see that?" Izuku exclaimed, his eyes wide with admiration. "All Might did it!"
His mother nodded, relieved. "He really is incredible."
On the scene, the gathered heroes began to relax slightly, their tense postures easing. Some started checking on the injured, while others began to discuss the next steps.
Endeavor, still catching his breath, walked over to All Might. "We need to find that villain," he said, his voice firm. "We can't assume he's defeated just yet."
All Might nodded in agreement. "You're right. Let's organize a search party. We need to be thorough."
Several heroes immediately began coordinating the search effort. Boats and helicopters were dispatched to comb the coastline and the nearby waters. The police set up a perimeter, ensuring no civilians could get close.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Izuku's attention remained glued to the TV. The news broadcast showed footage of the aftermath, with heroes tending to the injured and preparing for the search.
"All Might is leading the search," Izuku noted, his voice tinged with both worry and awe. "They need to find that villain before he causes more trouble."
His mother placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "They will, Izuku. All Might and the other heroes won't stop until they do."
As the search continued, the broadcast showed live images from the coast. Helicopters hovered over the water, their searchlights scanning the waves. Boats moved in a grid pattern, ensuring no area was left unchecked.
As the sun began to rise, the search for the villain continued tirelessly. Despite their initial success in locating him in the water, the heroes soon realized that the villain had disappeared once more. The ocean currents had clearly carried him away, and the search area had expanded significantly.
Back at the headquarters, All Might and Endeavor were in deep discussion. "We need to rethink our strategy," Endeavor said, frustration evident in his voice. "He's still out there, and we can't let our guard down."
All Might nodded, his expression serious. "We'll form a smaller, specialized team to continue the search. We can't risk more heroes getting injured. I'll also coordinate with the police and detectives to track any possible leads."
The heroes swiftly organized a smaller team, comprised of experienced individuals known for their tracking abilities and strategic thinking. Hawks, Eraser Head, and a few other skilled heroes were chosen to join the task force. The police and detectives began their own investigation, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to piece together the villain's possible whereabouts.
In the morning, Izuku watching the news from his living room, felt a mix of relief and unease. The immediate threat had passed, but the villain was still at large. His mother noticed his concern and tried to reassure him.
"Don't worry, Izuku. The best heroes are on the job. They'll find him," she said, offering him a comforting smile.
"I know, Mom," Izuku replied, trying to muster a smile in return. "I just hope they find him soon. It's scary knowing someone that powerful is out there."
His mother nodded, understanding his worry. "They will, Izuku. You need to stay focused on your own training and studies. One day, you'll be one of those heroes, too."
Izuku took a deep breath, nodding. "You're right. I need to keep working hard."
Meanwhile, the specialized task force was already in action. Hawks soared above the coastline, his keen eyes scanning for any signs of the villain. Eraser Head and the detectives meticulously examined the clues left behind, following every lead, no matter how small.
Despite their best efforts, days turned into weeks without any significant breakthroughs. The villain seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving everyone on edge.
Izuku, now back in his routine at UA, couldn't shake the feeling of unease. He trained harder than ever, driven by the desire to be ready for whatever challenges lay ahead. His classmates, too, were more focused, knowing that the world outside the school was fraught with danger.
During lunch one day, Izuku and his friends discussed the ongoing search. "Do you think they'll ever find him?" Uraraka asked, her voice tinged with concern.
"They have to," Todoroki replied, his tone determined. "The heroes won't stop until they do."
Bakugo, ever brash, added, "That villain doesn't stand a chance. Once they find him, it's over."
Izuku nodded, absorbing the determination and confidence of his friends. "We just have to trust the heroes and do our best here. We need to be ready for anything."
As the days passed, the world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for news. The small task force, along with the police and detectives, continued their relentless search, never giving up hope. Izuku, though anxious, found a measure of peace in knowing that the best heroes were on the case and that one day, he would be among them, ready to protect and serve.
For now, he focused on his training and studies, driven by the hope that the villain would soon be found and justice would prevail.
