Angel: I have some questions I forgot to answer last time that I'm gonna answer. I'd say Bakzuka or maybe Bakido would make good ship names. I honestly don't know the right pick. Erica Lindbeck for Izuka...hmmm...I'm pretty sure she voices someone else in this show in season 6 which I haven't even written yet at this time. While I like the reference to Owl House, I'm not sure if she's the right pick to be honest. When I think of Izuka's voice, I think of her having a kawaii voice, like Anya from Spy x Family. Emira from Owl House sounds a bit too mature for Izuka in my personal opinion. So while I see why that choice, I don't know if I can see it. But hey, that's just me. As for other OC characters, we'll see. I would take ideas for them, but I don't do that anymore, sorry.
"Kill the Symbol of Peace," Shigaraki informed his army before they had attacked. "All Might."
The giant portal had numerous villains step out of it. "It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains." Everyone flinched in disbelief once they realized what was going on, some of them shaking. "I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves in to this haven of justice to say hello." The purple warp man surrounded the entire class and Thirteen. Katsuki, Eijiro, and Izuka were up in front. The villain then spread his body towards them before anyone could do anything. Izuka gasped sharply and kneeled to the ground, a large yellow star appearing in front of the three like a shield to hold the energy back. Everyone gasped while looking at her, and she gritted her teeth. She held it in as much as she could, already being slid backwards.
Ochaco and Rikido were saved by Tenya as he pushed them back. "And besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might," Mezo wrapped his arms around Mina and Hanta to protect them. Momo, Denki, and Kyoka held on as much as they could. "The Symbol of Peace, to take his last breath?"
Tenya glanced back with a nervous expression, seeing the power everywhere. He couldn't even see his fellow classmates anymore, because now there was now a purple dome in front of them. "What's going on?!" He demanded at this.
"Idiots!" One of the villains finally realized who Mr. Aizawa was. "That's Eraser Head! A pro!" His scarf wrapped around the three, and they were all lifted up into the air. "He can cancel your Quirks just by looking at you!" He then threw down his arms to knock two into each other with ease.
Thirteen paused and then glanced behind her. "Class rep!" She spoke up, getting his attention.
"Yes?" He asked her immediately.
"I have a job for you. Run to the school and tell the faculty what's going on here."
"Yes, but-" Tenya gritted his teeth in protest. He couldn't just leave all of his classmates behind to deal with this. He didn't get along with every single one of them such as Katsuki, but he still cared about their well-being. "It would be disgraceful for me to leave you all behind!"
"Use your Quirk to save others," Thirteen reminded the class rep. "Be a real hero!"
He then let out a sharp gasp, recoiling back a little. His eyes shook before he gained confidence. The purple warp man shot a bunch of energy towards them. Thirteen pointed one of her fingers towards the villain, using her Quirk against him. "Black Hole!" Her finger started to suck up the purple energy like a cyclone.
Minoru gasped as he, Izuku, and Tsuyu were still surrounded by villains on the ship in the Shipwreck Zone. "Uh, what do you mean fight? Are you crazy?!" He exclaimed at her in disbelief.
The shorter boy then leaned against the ship, tears flowing down his face and snot from his nose staring at his classmate. He gasped sharply as he saw Izuku clenching a fist. As if the boy was almost...afraid of the possible outcome faced in front of them.
"Now's our chance. We can beat them!" Izuku let out a yell as he jumped off the ship.
"Take this!" He shouted angrily at the villains, his left arm pointed at them. "Delaware...Smash!" He then fired off a huge gust of wind into the water, causing it to expand. The villains all screamed as they couldn't move away in time from the huge wave that followed.
Minoru yelled while throwing balls into the water. "Take this, you villains! You can eat my sticky balls!"
The villains started heading towards the whirlpool that formed between them thanks to Izuku's power. "Move!"
"Get off me!"
The villains struggled, but were unable to move because Minoru's balls allowed them to be stuck together like glue.
"You're gonna drown me!"
A huge splash occurred and Tsuyu flew away from it, carrying her classmates. "Not too shabby. You guys are amazing. Both of you." Izuku was still clutching his arm while Minoru was shedding tears of relief. There was a small trickle of blood coming from the top of his head. He couldn't believe what just happened...they had managed to defeat them all on their own. "I guess we passed the shipwreck zone."
The ship continued to sink while the villains were still stuck together. They attempted to swim away together, though it wasn't helping much. Minoru let out a small chuckle. "I had a good poop this morning, which makes my balls stickier. They're not goin' anywhere!" Izuku looked disturbed hearing this while Tsuyu was dragging him by the cape.
"Can't believe we managed to get all of 'em at once," Izuku commented, going off into his muttering again. "It took everything I had to keep my composure. It was such a gamble, what if they'd had reserves underwater that we didn't know about? They could've..."
Words flew around him as usual. "You're creeping me out," Tsuyu stated while looking up ahead. "Stop it. Please." He let out a shocked sound while looking towards her, stopping his murmuring. "Instead of second guessing what we did, shouldn't we think about our next move?"
"Yeah, you're totally right," He agreed, wincing in pain from his broken fingers. He hissed a bit, his hand shaking.
"Are you okay?" Tsuyu asked him in concern and he looked up with a small smile.
"Yeah, fine. Don't worry above me," He put his glove back on. "We should make getting help our top priority! If we follow the shore to the exit, then we can avoid the central plaza entirely," He pointed to the steps not too far away from them. Plus, they wouldn't be getting in their teacher's way.
"Good idea," Tsuyu stared up ahead. "That way we don't run into the villains Mr. Aizawa's facing off with there," She glanced towards the center of the USJ, where Mr. Aizawa was. A few crashes went off thanks to him fending off the villains as much as he could.
Even though Mr. Aizawa had shown he could hold his own, Izuku was still worried about him. Like he had stated earlier, their teacher didn't usually fight hand-to-hand. Not to mention, he was vastly outnumbered against them... Yeah, but...can he handle them on his own? How long can he hold out against a big group like that? "If he doesn't get some backup...then he's just going to overexert himself," He explained to his classmates, getting their attention. "He'll end up defeated by those villains cause he was trying to keep us safe."
Minoru then gasped in realization at what Izuku was getting at. And he didn't like this feeling at all. "Wait. Don't tell me you're suggesting...?" Izuku didn't answer, he only gave a grunt in response. "Are you trying to get us killed or something?" Fending off villains on their own in the Shipwreck Zone was one thing. Facing off a bunch of them with Mr. Aizawa was another. Because he'd tell them to leave, therefore getting distracted trying to ensure their safety.
Izuku then turned to them. "I'm not saying that we should jump into the middle of a battle. But...maybe we can find a way to take a few of those guys out and lighten his load."
Minoru and Tsuyu stared at him as he looked up ahead, not ready to leave just yet despite what their teacher ordered. We'd had our first real fight and won, but that only gave us false hope. It made us think our powers could actually work against the enemy. We'd soon learn how wrong we were.
As much as we wanted to believe we could fight off against them, we were only first-years in the first week of the prestigious UA. Our powers could only do so much against a calculated plan like this from villains...
"So the plan was to scatter us, and then kill us," Shoto spoke up while in the Landslide Zone. He let out a small breath of cold air. "You were woefully unprepared." He stared down the field of villains that he had frozen of their entire bodies. "In fact, it looks to me as though you've had no training. You haven't the slightest idea how to use your Quirks," He then stepped up to a villain, his eyes shaking looking at Shoto in disbelief.
"This power...he froze us the instant we warped here."
"He's not a kid, he's a monster!" Another one called out since they couldn't move at all, and hadn't seen this kind of Quirk from a student before.
"So cold..."
Shoto paid them no mind at all. "Where is he?" Shigaraki's question echoed in his head. "I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who are eager to meet him."
How do they plan to kill All Might? At first I thought they'd gathered a force of elite criminals who could simply overpower him.
A villain yelled while heading towards the boy, a knife in hand. Shoto simply tapped his foot to make ice appear underneath it. He moved his head to the side to dodge the pole from another villain behind him, grabbing it and freezing it. He looked as both villains were almost entirely frozen solid just like the others. But that can't possibly be their master plan. Most of these villains are low-level thugs. Just pawns. He broke off the pole, watching the villain land with a grunt. He closed his eyes so he could think.
From what I can tell...there are only four or five truly dangerous people here. He thought of three of them: the warp man, Shigaraki, and that creature with the brain. Even though he hadn't seen their powers for himself, he could still tell right away. If that's the case, then what we need right now is more information. He glared towards the two villains that had tried to ambush him.
"Listen well," He finally spoke up to them. "If you stay frozen, your cells will slowly die as your body succumbs to frostbite and hypothermia." Both of them gasped, shaking in fear of the possibility. "Luckily for you, I wanna be a hero. So I'd like to avoid any unnecessary cruelty." He stepped forward as the villain shook in fear, tears forming from his eyes. Shoto held out his hand, frost appearing from it. "But I can only do that if you tell me how you plan to kill All Might. That's the only way you'll survive."
Denki let out a scream in the Mountain Zone. He ducked his head as a taller villain threw a punch, the boy running off. "These dudes are terrifying!" He cried out, looking up ahead. "My whole life just flashed before my eyes, I think I saw the grim reaper!" Kyoka gritted her teeth defending herself with the sword. "What's going on?"
Momo hit a villain with the pole she was holding. Denki let out a small whimper as they were cornered. "Could you maybe take it down a few notches?" Kyoka asked from his right, glancing around at all of the villains in front of them.
"Right now we need to focus on getting away from these enemies," Momo told the two of them.
Denki turned to her with panicked eyes. "Then pull out a weapon for me too!"
"You're the one with electrical powers," Kyoka retorted back to him. "Just zap 'em so we can run."
"Were you not paying attention during combat training?!" He screeched at her, as the two were partnered up during All Might's combat class. "Some partner you were. I can cover my body with electricity. But if I try to shoot it out, it'll go everywhere!" He opened up his hand as electricity sparked from it to prove his point. "I'd take you guys down along with them! Or did you want shock treatment today? I can't even call for help because there's still interference jamming the signal!" He tapped the side of his radio device, giving a thumbs up. "I'm counting on you two. I'm no help in this situation. You've gotta get us outta here. Please!"
Kyoka glanced at him with a slightly annoyed look. "You're a real damsel in distress, aren't you?" She wondered as it was ironic that the girls here were the fighters. And yet Denki was acting like he needed to be saved.
Before he could comment, he yelped and ducked from another punch headed for him. "New idea!" Kyoka raised her leg and kicked him forward. "You're my human stun gun!"
"Seriously?!" He cried out in shock while heading for the villains. "Come on!" He simply touched one, and it shocked him. "Whoa!" He murmured as he was focusing his power on the villain, and only the villain. "Hey, this is working! I'm super strong!" He then grinned while giving another thumbs up. "Sit back, you two. You can count on me!"
"You are exhausting," Kyoka remarked in disbelief. Her ears then caught a sound and she gasped, moving away.
"Try electrocuting solid rock, kid!" A villain jumped forward, Kyoka connecting one of her ears to her boots. She then emitted a powerful sound wave towards the boulder being thrown. It then shattered into pieces. One of them punched Denki in the face, only to get affected by the electrocution. A third jumped up from behind holding knives. Momo acted quickly and created a net, throwing it at him before he could hurt her classmate. He struggled to get out, landing in the middle of the shockwave.
"You're lucky that worked out so well," Momo stated to Kyoka, gripping her pole.
"I'm sorry," Kyoka retorted back to her. "Next time I'll ask before saving our butts." The electrocution finally stopped and the villains fell to the ground.
Kyoka Jiro! Her Quirk: Earphone Jack! Kyoka then moved her boot again to emit another sound wave. She can turn her own heartbeats into explosively amplified sound waves by inserting her plugs! The villains getting hit by the sound wave screamed in pain, holding their heads as they couldn't handle the sound. Plus, she can hear really quiet sounds. So hip!
"Damn it, Kaminari," Kyoka growled a bit. "You couldn't have asked for some kind of aiming gear when you put in your costume request form? I mean, come on!" A villain jumped up from above her head. She looked up and moved away just as he landed in front of her. Momo swooped and kicked him away before he could do anything.
"It's ready!" She glared up ahead, her clothes shaking as a glow came from her back. "It takes me a little longer...to create an object this big!" A large blanket popped out of her back, looming over both of the girls.
"A blanket?" One of them asked in utter confusion.
"Is it supposed to be a shield?" One of them asked in amusement.
Momo smirked while lifting up the blanket. "You're looking at a sheet of insulation 100 millimeters thick," She corrected them, looking towards the boy. "Go, Kaminari."
He smirked knowingly from what he was supposed to do. He then gave a smirk. "Heh. Badass." He then looked up ahead with a glare, electricity sparking from his body. "Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends. You guys are fried!" He hit the ground with his electricity, shocking everyone in the field. It went away a few seconds later, everyone except the three smoking and having scorch marks on them.
"Now then...I'm worried about the rest of our class," Momo commented as the smoke cleared, her costume a bit torn up. "We should find them right away." She then glanced away, as she wanted to learn more about Izuka as a friend when this was over...
"You're looking a little overexposed right now!" Kyoka pointed out to her.
"Huh?" Momo turned around with a small smile; indeed, her breasts were showing and some of the material on her back was ripped as well. "I can make some new clothes."
Momo Yaoyorozu. Her Quirk: Creation! She can create any non-living object she wants! A villain was shaking while poles were pinning him onto the ground. But she's only able to do this if she understands the molecular structure of the item she's making. The villain she caught with the net was shaking on the ground.
Kyoka glanced up at her classmate, who wasn't even fazed by the fact that her clothes were damaged. Instead, she was more concerned about the rest of the class than herself. Yaoyorozu is so punk rock. The girl then flinched as she heard footsteps. "Huh? Kaminari, don't you dare look!" She covered up Momo as the boy walked right past them. Both of them were confused to see him laughing and giving two thumbs up. He also had a dumb look on his face, blood trickling from his nose.
Denki Kaminari; Electrification! When he goes over his wattage limit, his brain short circuits and he becomes a huge idiot for a while! Listen to him babbling!
He giggled like a dumbass while the girls just watched. Momo had already recreated new clothes for herself. A hand then shot up out of the ground, which they weren't aware of.
"Remember, Midoriya, we're just here to see how things are going, right?" Minoru whispered at the Shipwreck Zone.
"Ribbit," Tsuyu whispered as well.
"Yeah, I know," He then peeked over the edge along with his two classmates. "We'll get outta here the second it seems dangerous." They looked up ahead as Mr. Aizawa was still facing the villains head-on. They could hear several hits and punches going on. One of them fell erratically to the ground after getting hit. Mr. Aizawa jumped up to the sky, two villains looking up at him. He was gripping his scarf, but they couldn't see where it was. Suddenly the scarf whisked them away and Mr. Aizawa spun around. He growled while heading towards them, using his feet to plant them into the ground with a thud. The scarves dropped around him and he panted in exhaustion. He didn't have time to take a breather as he looked up to see Shigaraki heading right for him.
"First it was 23 seconds."
"Final boss," Mr. Aizawa immediately got onto his feet, flinging his scarf right towards the villain.
"Then it was 24 seconds." Shigaraki dodged it easily, the teacher rushing towards him. "And then 20. Then 17." He reached out to the scarf and Mr. Aizawa gripped it. He used his elbow to knock into the villain hard, and Shigaraki let out a grunt. Izuku, Tsuyu, and Minoru all gasped in awe from their teacher's moves. Tsuyu then noticed something, however...
Mr. Aizawa grunted as he was actually being held back by the villain, struggling to keep his grip. His hair fell around him as Shigaraki moved his head closer. "It was hard to see when you were jumping around, but I've found your tell. It's your hair."
Mr. Aizawa's eyes widened in shock. "When it drops, it means you've stopped using your Quirk," He stated while the teacher's leg started to turn into stone, and he grunted in pain. "You're having to blink more often." Tsuyu and Izuku gasped sharply from their spot. "Don't push yourself too hard, now. You might just fall apart. Wouldn't that be a shame?" The villain held onto Mr. Aizawa's elbow, which was starting to crumble thanks to the villain, even having some blood seeping from his cracking skin. Bits and pieces of his skin slowly started to fall. Izuku gasped in horror, and Mr. Aizawa pushed the villain off of him. He then jumped backwards, as the effects had stopped. But he still had his skin crackling from his elbow.
He destroyed my elbow. He glanced behind him as a villain reached out his hand, and he ducked, knocking the villain back. He then moved away as another one attempted to attack him, rolling away from a third. He held his elbow while standing up, once again surrounded by villains. He panted while fighting off the pain as much as possible.
"That annoying Quirk of yours isn't suited for drawn-out fights against big groups, is it?" Shigaraki guessed the exact same thing Izuku said before. Mr. Aizawa gritted his teeth a little, glancing towards the man standing up. "Don't you think you're a little out of your element here, Eraser Head? You're much better at working stealthily. You're known for surprise attacks, not fighting head-to-head."
The man panted heavily, not dignifying a response at all. "But despite knowing that, you didn't hesitate to jump into the middle of this fight. To put your students at ease."
Mr. Aizawa's hair fell and another villain attacked him. He moved away, using his scarf to capture the villain. He then moved the villain in front of another that was attacking, kicking the second in the face. He spun his leg around to kick a third to the ground, panting. He gripped at his scarf, moving it away since...he couldn't entirely disagree with Shigaraki. Yes, he didn't fight hand-to-hand. Yes, he wasn't All Might...but he was still a teacher, and he still had to make sure his students were safe.
"And look at you, you're still standing! You really are so cool! Oh, by the way, hero..." He looked at something and Mr. Aizawa glanced upwards. He gasped as the creature with the brain was standing right behind him. "I am not the final boss."
The creature reached out his hand to the teacher, and blood spurted from the man. His goggles flew off to the side, Izuku letting out a terrified gasp. He could only watch helplessly as they heard their teacher getting mercilessly pounded, and relentlessly.
"No, Mr. Aizawa..." He murmured in fear for the man.
The purple warp man was still getting his energy sucked into Thirteen's finger. "Ah, Black Hole, the Quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust. Such an astounding power," He commented as she continued taking his energy as much as she could. "However, you're a rescue hero, Thirteen, skilled at saving people from disasters. Consequently...that means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness," He created another portal in the middle of his body. A third portal appeared right behind the hero and she started to get pulled backwards. The students all looked at her in concern as she let out a painful groan. They all gasped sharply as she started to get pulled in from behind.
"He opened a warp gate!" She exclaimed in disbelief. The purple warp man chuckled evilly...and then the back of her costume started to break. And once it did, particles of her started to be pulled into the portal behind her.
"How unfortunate," The villain commented as piece by piece, she started to disappear. "You've turned yourself into dust."
The students all gasped as they could only look in horror. And soon, Thirteen was unable to use her Quirk...because half of her bodysuit was ripped in half. "I'm sorry. He got me..." She groaned in pain, Mina's eyes shaking.
"Thirteen!" She cried out and Rikido turned to Tenya.
"Ida, get outta here!" The class rep gasped at the order, turning to Rikido. He could see that his fellow classmate was panicking, but was trying really hard to not let it show. "Go, now!"
Tenya was about to protest that he couldn't leave them behind now since Thirteen was injured. But once again, he recalled what the hero had said to him earlier. "Use your Quirk to save others. Be a real hero!" He then gritted his teeth; it was the only way they'd get out safely. And to get Thirteen some help. He squeezed his eyes shut as it was a hard decision, but also the right one. He then went into high gear with his engines and ran off.
"Engine!" He shouted while turning away from the purple warp villain, who noticed Tenya immediately.
"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves," He spun his body around while Tenya was rushing as fast as he could. "I simply can't allow that." Tenya gasped as he saw a portal being formed right in front of him. "If other heroes arrive, it'll be harder for us to put an end to All Might!"
The class rep slid to a stop, sparks forming from his feet. He looked up while gritting his teeth with conviction. This responsibility... He thought of his other fighting classmates such as Katsuki, Eijiro, and Shoto. Was entrusted to me! Mina and Ochaco were checking over Thirteen. Hanta and Rikido were standing in front of the three protectively. Classmates! I'll keep you safe! Mezo then lunged forward, gripping onto the purple warp villain as much as he could.
"Run!" He shouted to the shocked Tenya. "I've got him!" He rolled to a stop on the ground. Tenya slid his foot and continued running.
I'll be back in a flash!
"You impertinent child!" The purple warp villain shouted, lunging for Tenya. Ochaco gasped as she looked up, narrowing her eyes, as she could see something inside of the body... "You won't set foot outside those doors!"
I'm close! But what if it's locked? Tenya thought in a panic as he was reaching the doors. Will I be able to pry it open in time?
"I have no time for this," The villain's voice boomed and the boy glanced back to see him being chased down. "Be gone!" His body grew so that it could loom over Tenya, and he grunted as the energy was all around him. He continued running despite that.
This was it.
The moment we realized...that this was more than we bargained for during the first week of UA.
Momo had her hands on her hips while talking to Kyoka. "Ya see? Good as new," She assured Kyoka while something shot up from behind Denki. The two girls gasped sharply while Denki hadn't noticed it yet.
The evil that pros faced...
The amount of pressure they shouldered every day...
Izuku and Minoru looked up ahead in shock. Tsuyu had keep her straight face on.
We'd gotten our first look, but the worst was yet to come.
This was just only the start of it all.
Mr. Aizawa was laying on the ground, blood surrounding his head. His face was planted into the floor, so they couldn't see his face at all... "What do you think of him, Eraser Head?" Shigaraki asked with a bit of venom in his voice. His eye widened and then he gave a small hum. "Hm...he's the bioengineered, anti-Symbol of Peace." The creature with the brain...was the one responsible for the attack. "But you can call him Nomu."
The Nomu opened up his mouth to shriek, showing its sharp teeth.
In the Collapse Zone, an explosion went off from one of the buildings. Katsuki lunged towards a villain. "Say goodbye!" He shouted while knocking two back with a big explosion. The two hit the wall roughly while Eijiro clashed with one holding a pole. He disarmed the villain and then smacked him to the ground. Izuka narrowed her eyes towards two villains approaching her. She held up her bow, moving her left hand against her right wrist quickly. She then let it go, watching the shooting star smack into both villains repeatedly in a fast speed. The two then fell to the ground in pain, all of them out of breath. Katsuki's hand was smoking and Izuka's fingers were as well. They looked at the pile of villains surrounding them; they had been fighting for a while. "Think that's the last of these guys. Buncha weaklings."
"M-makes you wonder...why t-they're even here..." Izuka murmured while letting out a cough. "If these guys...were planning to kill All Might...then they must be hiding something else..."
"All right," Eijiro turned to the two, Izuka inhaling to catch her breath. "Let's hurry and find the rest of our class. If the three of us are still in the USJ, then everyone else probably is too. And not all of them have the offensive skills we do," He clenched a fist. "We gotta make sure they're safe. Especially since we screwed things up when we got in the way earlier. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that villain, then we never would've been separated like that. We have to make it up to the others!"
"Mm," Izuka gave a look of thought, thinking of her brother. She had a feeling...that he was okay, maybe a little injured if he had to defend himself too like them. And no matter who he was scattered with, they did their best as well. As for her, Katsuki, and Eijiro...well, it was a bit risky given that she didn't get along with Katsuki so much. But he was really too focused on fighting to really care what she did. "K-Kirishima-San." He turned to her curiously. "...We...we did the best we could...to save everyone," She spoke up in a serious tone. "There wasn't much more...we can do than that. These are some...pretty powerful villains after all. So...don't doubt your abilities. You've managed to get this far...right?"
He gave her a shocked expression and then gave a small smile. "Yeah...you're right. Thanks, Mido. You probably wanna make sure your brother's okay, huh? So we'll find him and the others together!"
"W-well, you're welcome, but..." She gestured to herself and he blinked. "I...I have faith in Izuku. H-he doesn't give up...even in a situation like this...o-our classmates don't either...so we shouldn't worry t-too much."
"You wanna track everyone down and mousy wants to continue stuttering, have fun," Katsuki spoke up and she gave a slightly annoyed look, turning away from him. "But I'm gonna go destroy that warpy bastard."
Izuka gasped in shock, glancing back at him in disbelief. Granted, she grew up with him, so she should've known this. But he had already seen that the villain couldn't get hit by them, so he'd probably get really hurt. She then gave a small frown. W-Why am I so concerned...? Is it because he saved me during the chaos with the security alarm at school? That shouldn't warrant anything since not too long ago, he tried to get me to talk about my brother's Quirk...is this why Izuku admires him so much? Because of his fighting spirit?
"Huh?" Eijiro recoiled back in shock. "Our physical attacks didn't hurt that guy. Come on. Don't be an idiot, man."
"Shut up!" Katsuki snapped at the red-haired boy, who gave a shocked sound. "I'm gonna take him down because he's their way in and out." A camouflaged hand came down from the ceiling, as someone was watching them. "If I cut off their escape route, they'll be stuck here and have to pay for what they've done." The invisible villain was looking right at Izuka as he smirked. If he took or attacked the girl, he could force them into a surrender. Or he could trap them into a corner or lead them to his leader. "We'll just have to figure it out." He then lunged right for Izuka, who couldn't sense what was coming.
Hope you had fun chit-chatting. Too bad you let your guard down and now I'll have a ho-
Katsuki reached out past Izuka's face to grab the villain before he could do anything to the girl. She looked at him wide-eyed for his move, wondering how he was able to sense it, yet she or Eijiro didn't. Katsuki then let out an explosion, causing the villain to scream in pain. Izuka stared at him in shock, her eyes shaking for what he did. He couldn't care less about her, and yet for the second time, he saved her life...
"Anyway," He held up the villain's head, who was passed out. "If all these villains are small fries like these guys were, then our classmates can handle 'em."
"That reaction time was insane," Eijiro commented in a bit of awe.
"Y-You...saved me?" Izuka blinked down at him as he stood up, his eyes closed as he didn't answer. "Bakugo-San, why did you-"
"Because I don't need Deku whining at me if I didn't," He interrupted, putting the villain down. "Or any of our classmates for that matter. That'd be annoying," He finished while not looking in her direction. She tilted her head while staring at him and he noticed it. "Stop looking at me like that. That guy is just a coward anyway."
She's Deku's sister for crying out loud. If anyone's gonna defeat her, it'll be me and not some lame-ass villain. He then thought of her eyes once again when he helped her during the alarm, and when their hands lingered. He then gritted his teeth in annoyance. And that's the only reason I did those things.
"Also...since when do you act so calm and rational?" Eijiro couldn't help but ask. "Usually you're all like..."
"Die! Die! Die!" He imagined Katsuki saying, and he wasn't too far off from the description.
"I'm always calm and rational, you red-haired loser!" Katsuki shouted at him, Izuka sighing a bit.
"Yeah! There you are," Eijiro pointed at him. "He's always like this, Mido? Your brother mentioned you guys go way back."
"Mm," She looked up in thought. "B-Bakugo-San...can sometimes be a bit much..." She admitted, Katsuki glancing towards her a bit too curiously. "B-but...I wouldn't say he's like that all the time. He...he does act like a person...sometimes," She glanced away while scratching her cheek. And something about her confession made Katsuki freeze a little. Izuka herself didn't know why she was bothering with saying all of this...but he had saved her life twice now, so she felt like she owed him that much. Though she still wouldn't call him someone she would regularly hang out with.
"Tch," Katsuki finally snapped out of it, turning away from her. "Whatever, mousy. Go find the others if you want to."
"Wait, hold up!" Eijiro stopped him before he could leave. "I think what you're really saying is that you believe in our classmates," He held up his arms as his skin hardened. Izuka blinked while turning to him. Eijiro then hit his arms together with a grin. "And that's thinkin' like a man, Bakugo."
He didn't confirm or deny anything to them. Izuka hummed a bit; she didn't really know if that was true or not. If it was...then Katsuki would definitely deny it. He'd probably think their classmates were just in the way, but...maybe Eijiro could've been right. She then rubbed her chin in thought. "Perhaps..." The two turned to her as she looked like her brother when he was thinking. "Maybe...it's possible that...at least some of our classmates have succeeded in their own goals...s-such as fighting those villains or even trying to get us help...I-I'm sure that at least one of them is on their way right now...to go fetch the teachers. So...so maybe finding the source a-and eliminating it would be a big help..."
The two stared at her while thinking of her assessment, none of them aware that she was actually correct. "Whoa...I'd be surprised if you ended up being wrong," Eijiro grinned, pointing at her. "That's even more of a reason to go find that guy! That's just like Midoriya, huh? He must get it from you."
"O-Oh!" She waved her hands nervously and rapidly. "I-I was just thinking, I don't know if that's actually true...! I-I was only hoping that was the case."
Katsuki scoffed at her wishful thinking, looking away once again. "Stop reminding me of Deku with the muttering. Either stay here or don't," He turned around and walked off.
"Hey, wait up!" Eijiro ran after him. Izuka stared after the two, still confused on why he saved her. She then shook her head rapidly to snap out of it. If she continued questioning it now, she wouldn't be able to focus on anything else unfortunately.
In the Fire Zone, some villains were chasing Mashirao when they had suddenly lost sight of him. "Damn it! He's too fast!" One of them hissed as they scoped the area. They then ran off to go find him. Mashirao swung down from above to knock a villain down.
"I see 'im. Up there!" One of them pointed at the pole Mashirao's tail was hanging from. He then swung away before any of them could make a move, glancing behind his back.
I have to help the others.
In the Squall Zone, some of the villains were cornering Koji, who stood in an alleyway in a panic. "We found you!" They roared while charging towards him. He didn't move, and instead, Fumikage's Dark Shadow pinned them to the wall. The shadow moved its hand away as the villains fell to the ground in pain.
"That's six of them down," Fumikage glanced at his classmate as his shadow went back to him. The two gave each other a thumbs up. Fumikage didn't seem to mind that Koji was of few words, even less so than Izuka herself sometimes. He then looked up to the sky. "We're reducing their numbers, but very slowly. I hope it helps in the long run."
Tenya was almost to the door as he ran as fast as he could. "I have no time for this," The purple warp villain loomed over him and he gasped, looking over his shoulder. "Be gone!" His energy then overtook Tenya's body and he grunted while trying to fight it. The villain was suddenly touched by Ochaco, lifting Tenya off him. He gasped while looking back in shock; if his three classmates weren't able to attack the villain earlier...it was surprising that Ochaco was even able to touch him. The villain gave a sound of shock as well.
"I don't know what his Quirk is," Ochaco started off while holding the brace. "But he's wearing some kinda weird armor. So he must have a physical body inside here somewhere!" She then threw him over her head. "Now! Run, Ida!" She shouted and he continued to run.
"You pest! How dare you!" The villain screamed as Tenya finally reached the doors. He started to pull them apart with all of his strength, getting it open slowly. "I've got you!" The villain lunged towards Tenya.
"Not so fast!" Hanta held his elbow, using his tape to capture the armor Ochaco touched. He then pulled back as hard as he could, Rikido taking the tape himself. He held back the warp villain just as Tenya was pulling the door further apart. Rikido spun around the villain over his head.
"GO!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, tossing the villain towards the ceiling. Tenya rushed out the front door, the villain growling at the successful attempt of escape.
"Engine...Boost!" Tenya's engines gained flames to help him go faster. The sooner he got to UA, the better.
"He's going to call for backup," The warp villain guessed correctly, narrowing his yellow eyes. "It's over..."
Mr. Aizawa groaned as the Nomu gripped his other arm, the one that didn't have the broken elbow. He then twisted it and a snap was heard. The teacher let out a yelp of pain, unable to get himself free. Shigaraki stared at him from up ahead.
"You can erase other peoples' powers," Shigaraki started off as he just watched. "That's irritating, but it's nothing impressive. When faced with true, devastating power, you might as well be a Quirkless child."
Mr. Aizawa let out a heavy pant, looking back with gritted teeth. He then opened his eye while staring at the creature, about to erase his Quirk. Unfortunately...the Nomu stepped on his other arm to break it. He let out another scream of pain as he closed his eyes, the creature preventing him from using his Quirk on the Nomu. He dropped his limp arm, shaking.
He's breaking my bones like they're twigs. I'm positive I erased his Quirk... He was still shaking, blood seeping from his forehead. That means he's super strong, even without powers. The Nomu grabbed onto the back of his head tightly, lifting him up. I think he's as strong as All Might. The Nomu then shoved the teacher's face into the ground hard, creating a hole. It was like the creature had no feelings at all to do this...
"No..." Minoru whimpered in horror to see their teacher getting beat to a pulp, essentially torturing him. "No!" He covered his mouth while shaking, tears in his eyes. Luckily, the villains hadn't spotted the trio yet. Tsuyu kept her head in the water, so they didn't know what she was conveying. And Izuku was just as terrified as Minoru was right about now. "I can't watch this anymore...! We should be getting out of here super-fast, shouldn't we?"
"Ribbit," Tsuyu murmured into the water.
Izuku let out a light breath, his eyes shaking. Mr. Aizawa was harsh on both him and his sister, yes...and he probably still didn't like them much now. But...that was still his teacher he had to watch get hurt like this, and he wasn't sure he could handle it. And he knew that if Izuka were here...she'd think the same thing.
The purple warp villain appeared by Shigaraki's side. "Tomura Shigaraki," He spoke up calmly.
"Kurogiri," Shigaraki turned to him. "Did you manage to kill Thirteen?"
"The rescue hero is out of commission. But there were students I was unable to disperse and one of them got outside of the facility," He reported back to the leader.
"Huh?!" Shigaraki turned to him in shock. He stared in silence and then reached out to his neck, scratching it like it was a tick or something. And he felt like this time, he was unable to stop. He growled as he used his other hand to scratch the other side. He was shaking as he felt like he couldn't stop scratching from the fact that his plan seemed to be falling apart. "Kurogiri...you fool..." He panted out breathlessly. "If you weren't our warp gate, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body." He let out a grunt as he had scratched himself so much that there was now a mark on his neck. He slowly let go and stood in silence for a few seconds. "...There's no way we can win if dozens of pros show up to stop us. It's game over. Back to the title screen. And I was looking forward to finishing this today. Damn it. Let's go home."
"Huh?" Minoru asked in surprise. "Did I hear that right? Did he say they're gonna just leave?"
"That's what it sounded like to me," Tsuyu whispered to him. He then looked back up ahead, whimpering in relief as tears came in his eyes. He hugged Tsuyu...touching her breasts.
"Yes! That's amazing! We're safe and we don't have to fight!" He whispered back in joy.
"Uh, yeah. But..." Tsuyu was frozen in shock, a blush on her face. She then shoved Minoru into the water and he struggled underneath her hold. "I have a real bad feeling about this, Midoriya."
He nodded silently in agreement. "It seems weird that they'd retreat at this point, even if help is on the way." He gave a look of dread. All Might's probably coming. Don't they wanna kill him? They must know UA will beef up their security after this. So now's their best chance. What's going on here? Why is this game over, huh? Looking at Shigaraki and Kurogiri...if they were already watching poor Mr. Aizawa get hurt, why would they suddenly back off if they desired All Might's death?
"Oh, before we leave, let's make sure the Symbol of Peace is broken," Shigaraki turned around with wide eyes, and if they could see his face, he would probably be grinning. "Let's wreck his pride." Izuku gasped as Shigaraki appeared right in front of the trio, having sensed them. "Let's make this hurt." He then reached out right towards Tsuyu, Izuku giving a look of horror as he remembered what happened to Mr. Aizawa's elbow...and imagined the same would happen to his classmate. He slowly turned over to her as for once in her life...Tsuyu actually looked a little scared. Her eyes were shaking and her mouth was slightly open. Shigaraki flinched at her expression and actually paused. "You really are so cool..."
Mr. Aizawa was staring right at him...having used his Quirk on the man before he could hurt Tsuyu. Blood was dripping down his entire head. "Eraser Head." The man groaned in pain as the Nomu lifted him up and slammed his face into the ground again. Izuku then jumped up, raising a fist.
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap! He prepared to swing his fist, gritting his teeth. This guy's clearly different from the ones we fought before! I've gotta save Asui and get us outta here! "You!" Izuku shouted in anger. "Let her go! Now! Smash!" He then punched Shigaraki, creating a giant blast from his power. It was enough to knock all of the villains in the area away, the windows breaking as well.
Izuka gasped as she felt a tremble, turning around as she, Katsuki, and Eijiro were still on their way to them. She looked up ahead wide-eyed as she knew exactly who that was. "Izuku...?" She murmured to herself in shock, as she had a small feeling of what happened. And she didn't like it because if they connected Izuku's power to All Might...then this attack was the least of her worries if her brother became a target.
"The hell did you say?" Katsuki glanced over his shoulder with a small glare, but she didn't respond. "HEY! I'm talking to you, don't act like you didn't hear me, mousy!"
"It-it...it was nothing," She denied nervously and he narrowed his eyes a bit.
"That's not what your face says," He called her out and she gave a small sound of surprise since she hadn't even turned back to them at all. "I know you're thinking about something, mousy, even if I can't see it, don't forget I know you. Almost every time you don't wanna talk to me, it's because you're hiding something." He shouldn't even care, but for some reason, it was starting to really piss him off. As if she thought he was too good to really explain herself. And she couldn't even believe he bothered to remember characteristics about her.
"Hm?" Eijiro glanced between the two in confusion, wondering just what exactly was the history between them.
"I-I'm...I'm not telling you...w-we both know you don't care," She spoke up and Katsuki gritted his teeth.
"Damn you," He growled and Eijiro turned to him.
"Whoa, let's just both calm d-"
"Shut up!" Katsuki grunted and stormed off. Izuka stared at him with a small frown on her face. She wasn't wrong, but at the same time...her defying him more often now was getting his blood boiling.
Izuku panted slowly as the smoke cleared, and then gasped in shock...that unlike every other time, his arm wasn't in pain. It...wasn't broken at all. What? My arm's not broken. I can't believe it! After all that training...now's when I'm able to get a good Smash in? Alright!
But it hadn't done much, because he had actually hit the Nomu, which seemed to not be affected. He gasped in utter shock. Where'd he come from? Wait, hold on. It didn't...hurt him? He slowly recoiled back his fist, and it finally hit him...on why this creature was here.
"If the villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him," Tsuyu explained to him and Minoru.
No way...
"You're pretty powerful," Shigaraki commented from behind the Nomu. "This smash of yours—Are you one of All Might's disciples? Doesn't matter. I'm done with you now." The Nomu glanced down at the boy, who was shaking in disbelief. The creature grabbed him by the wrist and the boy yelped as he watched the Nomu raise his other hand. Tsuyu pushed Shigaraki's hand out of the way.
"Ribbit!" She used her tongue to extend it towards the arm, Shigaraki reached out to her and Minoru. Everything felt so slow as Mr. Aizawa's blood began seeping, while Shigaraki was going to kill his classmates. Izuku looked terrified for what was going to happen...and he couldn't do a thing to stop it.
The doors suddenly were busted open, causing everyone's attention to divert towards them. Izuku opened his eyes, gasping as he looked towards the entrance. It was filling with smoke as someone came out. Mina and Ochaco gasped in relief, shaking as they felt like they could relax a bit. Mezo looked towards him wide-eyed. Hanta and Rikido smiled towards him. A shoe stomped onto the ground.
"Have no fear, students," The person was revealed to be All Might, as he had come to the rescue. And for once, he didn't have a smile on his face. Instead, he looked as mad as Katsuki could get. "I am here!"
"Look, we're saved!" Minoru cried out happily. Tsuyu let out a ribbit while Izuku was both relieved and scared.
"He's here...All Might..." He murmured as the hero stood in silence. He then tossed away his jacket, keeping his glare up ahead.
"Ah..." Shigaraki looked pleased to see him. "Looks like our game's getting a continue."
