p6lishb6kserchapter 14 .May 3: Thank you.
Monster King chapter 14 . Apr 24: Thanks.
(⌐■_■) Hey guys! Today's a special day - my fanfiction just hit its 1st Anniversary, and last month, I celebrated my birthday on the 18th. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for taking the time to read my writing, whether you've been here since the start or if this is your first time.
( •_•)⌐■-■ ...Unfortunately, starting next week, I must take a summer course that lasts until late August, and the week after that is my fall semester. So please, until I post another chapter, may God bless you all, and have a wonderful day.
Wave after wave of villains poured out from the portal, their menacing presence growing with each new arrival.
Then, last, a giant, bulky, black-skinned humanoid monster with its brain visibly exposed on the top of its head and large eyes surrounding it walks out. It has a beak-like mouth, sharp teeth, and beige pants. It wears metal knee pads resembling skulls and beige pants, leaving its bare feet and torso. His beak-like mouth has sharp teeth, and scars cover his arms. Two small, disc-shaped modules are on its head's left and right sides, emitting a faint, blue glow.
Before it could take another step forward, the grayish-blue-haired villain held out his right hand to bring it to a halt.
"The only real heroes I see are Thirteen and Eraser Head." A deep voice had spoken through the dark mist.
"Perplexing. According to the schedule we retrieved from U.A., All Might should be here as well."
The dark, foggy villain slowly morphed into a humanoid form, revealing his glowing yellow pupil-less eyes.
"So, you scumbags used the press as a cover and sneaked onto campus." Eraser Head shouted at the approaching horde of villains.
"Where is he?" The grayish-blue haired villain asked, glaring up at Class 1A.
"I went through the trouble of bringing so many eager friends to meet him. They want All Might, the great 'Symbol of Peace.' I can't believe he's not here. Maybe if I kill a few kids, he'll come out to play."
The Erasure Quirk user's long black hair stood and flared up as his scarf came undone, expanding and floating slightly in the air.
Thirteen stood before the kids with her left arm out to keep the students from stepping forth.
Tekkan could only narrow his eyes at this setback. "Guess rescue training out the window..."
Chp 15 - Encounter with the Unknown
Eijiro's voice was filled with disbelief as he questioned the security breach. "Real villains? No way. How could so many of 'em get into a U.A. facility this secure?"
The tension in the air was palpable as Tekkan pointed at the villain's portals. "It's because they came via that villain's portals," he explained, his voice strained.
"Yeah." Momo walked up and asked the Black Hole Quirk user, "Thirteen? Why aren't the alarms going off?
"Good question. I'm not sure..." she answered honestly.
"Is the entire campus under attack?" Shoto asked, chiming into the conversation.
"Or is this their only target? Either way, if the alarm sensors aren't being triggered, then one of these villains must have a Quirk that's masking their presence here? They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at a time when a class was being taught. Still, they're fools for trespassing here."
The Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk user narrowed his eyes, still troubled. "But they thought this out. Whatever their plan is, they must have a concrete objective in mind. But what is it?"
"I overheard what one of those villains said." The teenage Saiyan pointed out, glaring at the grayish-blue haired villain.
"They most likely came here to kill All Might, especially with that many villains. Since he's not here, they might hasten his arrival by killing us first." His reasoning caused more students to grow even more tense.
Aizawa stepped from his class, addressing his colleague. "Thirteen, get them out of here and alert the main campus. Actually, if they can block our sensors, then they might be jamming our regular communications, too," he said and then turned to Denki. "Kaminari, try using your Quirk to contact the school."
"Y-Yessir." The Electrification Quirk user placed a hand on the headset on his right ear to do so.
Meanwhile, Tekkan kept tapping his scouter's comm button to do the same. *BEEP!* *BEEP!* *BEEP!* *BEEP!* *BEEP!* "Tsk, nothing…"
"What are you gonna do?" Izuku asked. "You can't fight them on your own. There's too many of them. Even if you can nullify their Quirks, your fighting style is not suited for this. Your power works best in stealth and one-on-one fights. That's not gonna help with a group."
"You can't be a pro with only one trick..." he remarked, much to his surprise, as he blinked and crouched.
"I'll leave it to you, Thirteen." The Black Hole Quirk user nodded as the Erasure Quirk one jumped high and drove down the stairs straight toward the crowd of villains.
The first closet one is a man with reddish-brown hair, pistol muzzles for fingertips, two gold chains on wrists, and a metallic helmet with two greenish-blue eye holes, wearing a gray tank top and pants.
"Shooting Squad, take your aim!" He ordered with a simile.
On his left was a young woman of average build and height, brown eyes, and long gray floating dreadlocks. She wore a dark purple bodysuit with gray and light purple patterned sleeves and black boots.
"Didn't our intel say it was just gonna be Thirteen and All Might out here? Who's that?" She questioned a huge, overweight man who wore a stitched pale green suit and a dark grey gas mask with three bovine-like horns. He also sports small black boots.
"Don't recognize him…" He watched the pro hero land on the Central Plaza's floor, crouched before quickly standing, and dashed toward them. "But if he thinks he can take us down easily, he's dead."
His respirator's holes glowed red as the other two allies prepared to activate their Quirks.
"Let's gun him down!" The trio of villains yelled out in unison.
But Eraser Head gazed at them with his Erasure activated, and as the Finger Gun Quirk user aimed at him and clicked his Quirk on, no bullets fired off.
"My Quirk." Grunting, he shook his hands to fix it as the Hair Control Quirk user's hair dropped, and the Mutant Bovini Quirk user looked at his own hands in confusion. "Where're my bullets?"
Suddenly, the Erasure Quirk user closed the distance, hurling them into the air as they yelped. The pro hero grunted, then forcefully slammed their heads together and knocked them out before discarding them.
The surrounding villains gasped at this takedown as one of them scrolled them. "Idiots. That's Eraser Head! A pro! He can cancel your Quirks just by looking at you."
"Cancellation?!" A muscular man with a grayish-blue body and two extra arms approaches the black-haired adult wearing a black mask with yellow lines, beige cargo pants, and black boots.
"Bet ya can't erase the Quirk of a heteromorphic-type like me, can you?" He leaped with his arms reeled back.
The Body Morph Quirk user threw a right jab and left cross, but his opponent sidestepped, ducked under his attacks, and replied, "Yeah, you're right!"
The Erasure Quirk user reeled back his left arm to deliver a right jab to his face, launching him back before throwing his cloth toward him. "But a villain like you is only dangerous if you can reach me."
The capture cloth wrapped around its left ankle. "Good thing…"
Then a villain with dark spiky brown hair, who wore a gray mask, a simple green T-shirt, baggy jeans, and brown shoes, threw a jab at the pro hero, who quickly, without turning around, ducked under it.
To counter, Eraser Head twisted around to side kick him across his face, colliding him against several other villains.
"I've taken measures to make sure that never happens." He pulled down on the cloth that still bound the four-armed villain and hurled him against those villains into a small crater.
"Now, which one of you gutter punks is next?" Class 1A's teacher taunted, undoing his Quirk.
"There he goes, trying to intimidate us." The grayish-blue-haired villain remarked.
"He is strong, and since he's hiding behind those goggles, you can't tell what Quirk he's erasing. He's making it hard for them to work together or rely on each other's powers...How annoying."
As Eraser Head took down more villains, he scratched the left side of his neck, which was barely exposed. "The worst thing about dealing with pros is when they live up to all their hype…"
"Kurogiri," he looked at the Warp Gate Quirk user, "Go deal with the children," he requested.
"Of course, Tomura Shigaraki," Kurogiri whispered as he vanished into the purplish-black fog and then disappeared.
Back at the top of the staircase, Izuku stayed to watch the pro hero's performance, too distracted to notice that the rest of the class were running back towards the entrance, with Tekkan and Thirteen escorting them.
"W-Woah, so he really can fight this many of them alone? I guess I shouldn't have underestimated him," he uttered in awe.
Mid-jog, Tekkan turned his head around to see him still standing there. "Analyze later, Izuku, come on!"
Tenya stopped and looked over his right shoulder at the OFA Quirk user. "He's right! Mr. Aizawa can cover us! We must leave!"
The green-haired teen nodded and ran alongside the blue-haired one to catch up with the others.
Class 1A was nearing the exit, but suddenly, a swirling purplish black hole manifested on the floor; like Thirteen, the rest stopped.
The hole kept swirling until a Kurogiri emerged. He gazed down at the class as he towered over them to prevent them from escaping.
"There is no escape for any of you," his voice boomed. The teenage Saiyan exchanged gazes back at him. "The same portal villain…"
Thirteen now stood before Class 1A, including Tekkan, as Kurogiri introduced himself. "But it's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains. I apologize for inviting ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello."
"Well…he's polite." The teenage Saiyan mentally noted.
The dark, foggy villain glared down at the students before continuing. "Besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace to take his last breath?"
Class 1A kept quiet and waited. Most were too scared to move, while some kept calm."I believe he was supposed to be here today, yet I still see no sign of him. There must have been some sort of change in plans that we could not have foreseen. Ah, well, in the end, I suppose it doesn't matter…I still have a role to play."
Tekkan slowly positioned himself into his battle stance, and the Black Hole Quirk user moved his right arm behind her, flip-opening a cap on her glove's index finger as she pointed at the Warp Gate Quirk user.
Suddenly, they gasped as LM Zrya, Katsuki, and Eijiro leaped toward the dark, foggy villain. "Raaaah!/Hraaahh!/Raaawwwr!"
First, the Lycan Shifter Quirk user reeled back her right arm to jab him, and Hardening Quirk reeled back his hardened left arm to chop at the Warp Gate Quirk user. To follow up, the Explosion Quirk user then stretched out his left hand and fired an explosion.
*BOOM*
A large cloud of smoke erupted and covered everyone there.
But the red-haired teen landed with his fists up, grinning. "Did you think we were just gonna stand around and let you tear this place into shreds!?"
"Think again cuz starting with you, we'll rip you apart!" The purple-haired teen quipped, bringing up her claws.
Everyone else covered their faces from the smoke except Tekkan, who casually waved away it.
Slowly, the purplish-black fog began to rise and form. "You live up to your school's reputation," a familiar voice calmly complimented them.
As the smoke cleared slowly, Kurogiri emerged, now returned to his humanoid form. He surprised LM Zrya, Katsuki, and Eijiro while Izuku gasped.
But noticeably, a metal neck brace floated under his eyes, and a black earbud floated next to his left eye. "But you should be more careful, children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt."
"You two! GET OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT NOW!" Thirteen yelled at the three teens ahead.
"Now then..." he began, spreading his foggy body to surround the entire class, "I'll scatter you across this facility to meet my comrades..." he decided, "and your deaths! Disappear," he proclaimed fiercely as the purplish-black fog wrapped over everyone there.
"Crap! What is this!?" Kirishima shouted, using an arm to cover his face, and Bakugo and LM Zrya did the same next to him, their voices muffled by the thick fog.
Behind them, Tenya quickly whipped his head to the left to sprint towards Ochako and Rikido, grabbed them by their waists, and engine-jumped them aside. Mezo tackled Mina and Hanta to shield them both in his six arms.
However, the rest grunted as they were left to protect themselves from the Quirk's effect as the dark fog changed shape.
After getting Ochako and Rikido out of their range, Tenya looked back at the fog and was shocked to see that it had now formed into a purple dome. "What's going on?!"
Tekkan, however, calmly lowered his stand and closed his eyes, "If what that portal villain says is true, then he's just her teleporting us to other villains that are scattered across the USJ's zones because it wouldn't make sense to move us to where Mr. Aizawa is at the Central Plaza…"
Unknown to anyone, he reopened his eyes and let out a smirk. "Alright then, 'League of Villains,' let's see who I'll have me fight first…
Then, momentarily, the black-purplish fog started to warp their targets away.
Half A Minute Later-
Towards the west, a purplish-black mist appeared above a lake, swirled, and formed a warp gate. Coming out of it was Izuku, who opened his eyes, and they immediately widened. Falling toward the lake, he started panicking and braced himself.
"Wha-WAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh-"
*SPOSH*
Izuku splashed into it, submerged momentarily to look around while activating Full Cowling.
"Water? So, he must have warped me into the Flood Zone." He inwardly realized, holding his breath as he started to swim to the surface.
"They came here to kill All Might, so I guess it's a good thing he's not in class right now. But where is he?"
As he swam, he saw a humanoid shark swimming towards him with a fin, long jaw, yellow eyes, light blue skin, and dark blue hair. He wore a sleeveless jumpsuit with a diving mask and cylinder strapped to his back. "Crap, another villain!"
"First catch of the day!" The Shark Quirk user said in a gurgly voice, swimming even faster at him. "Nothin' personal, kid, but you gotta die!"
The villain opened his mouth, revealing his sharp, jagged teeth, while Izuku quickly raised his right arm and gripped its index finger with his thumb.
But before he could fire off a Delaware Smash, Tsuyu dropkicked the villain in the back, knocking him away with Minoru under her leg arm.
"Hey Midoriya! Bleh!" she greeted, shooting her long tongue out to wrap around his torso. She yanked him behind her, swimming off with the villain shouting, "Noooo!"
"See ya!" She quipped.
Moments later, when she surfaced beside a yacht in the middle of the lake, Tsysu used her tongue to lift Izuku out of the water and gently dropped him on deck. The OFA Quirk user crouched and started to cough out water.
"For a frog, you've got some pretty big boobs, Tsu," Minoru groaned, water dripping from his mouth as he leaned closer to her chest. "Perfect floaties."
"Ribbit." Tsuyu blushed, wrapping her tongue around the Pop-Off Quirk user to instead slam him on the deck, startling the One for All Quirk user.
The Frog Quirk user then climbed up the side of the boat as Izuku gratefully said,
"Thanks for getting us to safety, Asui."
When she was about to climb over the edge of a railing, Tsuyu stopped to look and correct him. "I told you to call me 'Tsu.'"
"O-O-Oh, s-sorry, I didn't mean it." He quickly apologized, waving his hands around nervously.
Tsuyu stepped over the railing before saying, "This is turning out to be a terrible day of class," she muttered,
Calming down, Izuku nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but I am more concerned about what that warp villain said…about All Might not being here."
He then put an index finger under his chin. "They knew our whole schedule and who would be here. They must have gotten into the school files while we were all stuck in the cafeteria. After all, the teachers were busy trying to get the media off school grounds. Those villains waited for the perfect time to attack just like Todoroki said."
"Hey, hold on a second." They turned to Minoru, who was standing before them. "It's not like these guys can really kill All Might." He started shadowboxing the air with confidence. "Once he shows up, he'll pound these villains until there's nothing left!"
"Think about it though," The dark green-haired teen said, getting his attention. "If the villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him."
Izuku gasped and turned his head to her as she continued. "And didn't you hear what that smoke guy said? Maybe we should worry more about not getting tortured to death Otherwise, we might not survive long enough to see All Might again. And even if he does show up, who knows if he'll make it out in one piece?"
Now, whimpering and sweating nervously, the short, dark purple-haired teen started waving an index finger toward the lake. "Oh, crap! We got company!" He warned them.
Rising from the water's surface was the Shark Quirk user. "You bastards!" He bellowed, his voice echoing across the water as a dozen other villains swam with him, their eyes glinting with malice. "I'll enjoy eating you!"
"Aaaah! A whole school of villains!" Minoru's scream echoed the fear that gripped them.
Izuku gritted his teeth and lowered his head; his hair shadowed his eyes. "I don't care what their reasons are. If they're here for All Might, the Symbol of Peace and Justice himself…"
"If they can beat him…" Tusyu and Minoru turned to face Izuku, who continued. "then we have to stop whatever these villains are planning. We have to work together and keep All Might safe. Nobody at U.A. doesn't know what's going on."
He finally looks up at them, his eyes shined with determination. "This is up to us. So, let's be heroes."
Same Time-
To the southwest, a different purplish-black warp gate appears over a city block engulfed in flames.
Exiting, Tekkan hovered midair to look around, covering his face with his left arm. "Well, I'm definitely in the Conflagration Zone…"
As he kept looking, he saw buildings on fire, their windows turning molten glass. The sounds of cracking fire, burning wood, shattering glass, creaking structures, and thick black smoke filled the air. Broken glass, twisted metal, and concrete were all over the ground. Only a bright orange light mixed with deep shadows illuminated the area.
A partially collapsed building fell nearby, and Tekkan kept thinking, "If only I could contact the others, but oh well…"
"T-Tekkan!" Snapping him from his thoughts, he gasped as he noticed Mashirao walking toward him. His right hand pulled the collar of his gi over his nose and mouth to keep out smoke.
"Yo, Mashirao." The teenage Sayian hovered down and landed in front of him. "Surprise to see you here, but at least you're alright."
The Tail Quirk user nodded while waving smoke away from his face. "Likewise Tekkan. Didn't expect that warp villain to send us here, though."
But then, emerging from a cloud of smoke and shadows behind Mashirao, a dozen villains walked out.
"Looks like we've got company," Tekkan remarked, narrowing his eyes as he assessed the threats while his friend turned around.
Tekkan then tapped his Scouter to scan their power levels, seeing how low they were compared to his. He slightly smirked, thinking, "Nothing impressive, huh?"
Mashirao took his fighting stance, gritting his teeth, but Tekkan walked in front of him and held aside his right arm to halt him. "I can take them on by myself," he said confidently.
The blond-haired teen began to protest, "You don't have to d-"
But the jet-black haired one insisted firmly, "Trust me. I've got this."
The first villain, a light-skinned male with a shaven head and a large diagonal scar over his nose, wearing a black tank top, camo cargo pants, and combat boots, lunged at Tekkan with a large, heavy, spiked iron mace with a worn, wooden handle wrapped in leather.
Tekkan's eyes locked onto the villain, and a smirk grew on his lips.
The villain sneered, having overheard the tailed alien's confident statement. "Kid, you think you can take us all alone. Hahahaha! What a joke!"
Several other villains laughed along, their voices echoing through the smoky air.
But Tekkan blitzed the villain in a blur, his right palm slamming into his chest. The villain gasped, his eyes widened in shock and pain, collapsed on his back, and fell unconscious.
"Yeah, easily." The tailed alien remarked to the defeated villain.
He turned his glare to the rest of the villains, who now hesitated, exchanging nervous glances at one another.
The remaining villains then ran toward Tekkan, who stood his ground and narrowed his eyes. "Come, met your defeat…"
The second villain, a purple-skinned man in a sleek black bodysuit with a skull-shaped full-face mask, short-sleeved black T-shirt, matching jeans, and boots, dashed at Tekkan, dual-wielding black-hilted daggers.
"Took the word right outta my mouth, kid." He attempted a rapid flurry of slashes, aiming for Tekkan's torso and neck, but Tekkan sidestepped his attacks, feeling the wind from the blades pass close to his skin.
Then, he delivered a swift elbow strike to his gut that knocked the wind out of the villain as he crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
The third villain, a broad-shouldered man with a shaved head, tattoos on his arms and neck, blue eyes, and light skin, swung a heavy metal chain at Tekkan. He wore a heavy leather jacket over a black tank top, faded jeans, black boots, and a metal-studded belt.
The chain whistled as the villain aimed for Tekkan's head. But the jet black-haired teen caught the chain midair, the force causing the metal links to rattle loudly. He then yanked the villain towards him, delivering a powerful knee strike to his abdomen, causing the villain to collapse and groan in pain.
The fourth villain, a muscular man with spiked hair, a menacing scowl, and lightly brown skin, had exposed arms covered in battle scars. He wore a black tank top, green cargo shorts, tan boots, and brown gloves and wielded a blue-hilted machete.
He charged at Tekkan, slashing wildly. Tekkan easily dodged his wild swings, feeling the air whoosh past his face. He delivered a roundhouse kick to the villain's head, sending him crashing into a nearby building wall, leaving a small crater.
The fifth villain, a tall, slender woman with an orange mohawk hairstyle, piercing orange eyes, and sharp features, wore a black leather jacket, matching pants, black boots, dark sunglasses, and a matching bandolier across her chest with a set of orange-hilted throwing knives. She threw a barrage of knives at Tekkan.
The jet black-haired teen effortlessly sidestepped them, the knives whistling past his body, closing the distance between them in a flash. He disarmed her with a quick strike to her wrist and delivered a spinning kick to her midsection, knocking her out cold.
The sixth villain, a tall man with a shaved head, a jagged scar, and weathered tan skin, wore a black tank top, camo cargo pants, blue boots, a leather belt, and fingerless gloves. He wielded a heavy spiked mace with a worn wooden handle and swung it across at Tekkan.
The mace swung down towards the jet black-haired teen's head, who ducked under the swing, feeling the mace breeze over his head, and delivered an uppercut to the villain's jaw, lifting him off the ground and rendering him unconscious before he hit the ground.
The seventh villain, an average-height woman wearing a sleek, black bodysuit with matching shoes and a white full-face mask, with short, messy jet-black hair, wielded a pair of curved, handheld sickles with wooden handles and sharpened metal blades.
She lunged at Tekkan with the sickles, attempting to slash at his midsection. But Tekkan caught her wrists mid-attack and head-butted her, causing her to drop to the ground along with her sickles, unconscious.
The eighth villain, a tall, muscular man with close-cropped dark hair and a stern, rugged face featuring a prominent jawline, profoundly tan skin, and a perpetual five o'clock shadow, wielded a double-headed axe with a wooden handle and charged at Tekkan. He wore a white tank top, brown pants, and matching shoes.
The axe swung in arcs, aiming to cleave Tekkan in half as the teenager dodged his wild swings and ended with a right hook to the face, knocking him out.
The ninth villain, a shorter, slender man with long, greasy black hair that fell into his face and pale skin, with dull gray eyes and dark circles underneath, wearing a dirty, torn black hoodie, ripped jeans, and old matching sneakers, wielded a large, rusted metal hammer with a wooden handle.
He swung the hammer at Tekkan in a wide arc, aiming for his legs. Tekkan quickly caught the handle and yanked it out of his hands to perform a spinning hook kick to the villain's head, sending him flying into a pile of burning debris.
The tenth villain, a slightly taller, lean man with wild, unkempt red hair, fair skin, and sharp, angular features, with vivid purple eyes, wearing a sleeveless black vest, tight black pants, and matching combat boots, wielding a long, black-handled, curved scythe, charged at Tekkan with a menacing grin.
Tekkan dodged his scythe slashes, and after dodging the fifth swing, he delivered a powerful side kick to his ribs, knocking him out.
The eleventh villain, a heavily muscled man with a bald head and a thick, bushy beard standing at average height, with a scar running from his forehead to his left cheek, wearing a grey tank top, matching boots, light gray jeans, and a dark gray utility vest filled with various tools, tried to tackle Tekkan.
The villain's shoulder collided with Tekkan's midsection, attempting to take him down. At the same time, the teenage Saiyan grabbed him by the shoulders and knee-kicked him in the stomach, feeling the impact reverberate through his body. Then, he delivered a hammer fist to the back of his head, knocking him out.
The twelfth villain, a slim man with short, spiky black hair, piercing gray eyes, and pale skin, was wearing a black leather jacket over a gray T-shirt, black cargo pants, white sneakers, and a gas mask. He tried charging at Tekkan with a knife in his right hand.
The blade glinted as he aimed for Tekkan's right kidney. But teenage Saiyan disarmed him with a quick strike to his wrist, feeling the knife slip from his grip, and followed up with a right palm strike to his chest, sending him flying backward into the back of a broken van, rendering him unconscious.
The thirteenth and final villain, a heavily muscled, scowling man with short gray spiked hair covered in slash marks and yellow-colored skin, wearing a no-sleeve black T-shirt, cargo shorts, and matching combat boots, charged at Tekkan bare-handed.
He threw a series of punches aimed at Tekkan's face and torse, who met him head-on. The teenage Saiyan tilted his head aside at each one, feeling the air from his fists graze his face, and delivered a powerful uppercut that lifted the villain off his feet and knocked him out cold atop one of the defeated villains.
"Welp, that was too easy." Now, Tekkan stood alone, surrounded by the unconscious bodies of the criminals. "But, I guess this is what I should've expected from regular thugs who lacked any power. Even someone like Toru could've stopped them with proper planning…"
He turned to Mashirao, a confident grin on his face. "See? I told you I've got this."
"I mean...this is the same guy who took on two recommended U.A. students alone." Mashirao stood there, his eyes wide with admiration at the display of Tekkan's prowess. "I guess so."
Further back in the burning city, the jet black-haired teen saw two dozen more villains walking towards them, their murderous intent palpable in the air.
The blond-haired teen noticed, too; his tail swished cautiously. "How many more villains are here to kill us?"
As he watched, Tekkan scanned the approaching villains' power levels and noticed similar results from his last opponents.
"Low power levels, just like the last batch," he noted dryly. "But, let's see if they're any harder to take down than the last ones."
The Ki wielder saw the Tail Quirk user standing beside him and asked, "Are you ready, Mashirao?"
With a determined nod, the blond-haired teen clenched his right hand into a fist before answering.
"Only one way to find out!" Both U.A. students began dashing toward the incoming villains.
Landslide Zone-
To the east is the uneven terrain with steep inclines and sharp declines. The area is littered with debris, including large boulders, uprooted trees, and broken infrastructure fragments like shattered roadways and collapsed utility poles. The ground itself is unstable, with sections prone to shifting and sliding.
"Aren't you embarrassed to lose to a child?" Shoto inquired, glaring down at a dozen villains he had frozen in ice from the neck down.
"For God's sake, you're adults. Put up a real fight!" he demanded from them.
Ruins Zone-
To the northeast, a sprawling area of collapsed and partially collapsed buildings, ranging from small residential houses to skyscrapers. The terrain is littered with debris, fallen power lines, overturned vehicles, and rubble. Environmental hazards include unstable ground, thick smoke and dust, and pockets of fire smoldering throughout the zone.
Inside a ruined, three-story building, Zrya, Eijiro, and Katsuki continued fighting their own opponents.
"At least I don't gotta transform to deal with them," the Lycan Shifter Quirk user thought as he dashed at a muscular man with a scar on his left cheek and a broken nose. He wore a black beanie, a black leather vest with tattoos, black shorts, brown boots, and a matching studded belt.
With a spinning back kick to the chest, LM Zrya sent him crashing into a nearby support beam.
"Jumping us the second we drop outta that portal?" she spat, wiping a strand of hair from her eyes. "But I expect no less from villains."
Eijiro hardened his right arm and delivered a left cross into his target's chest. The target was a burly-figured man with light green skin, short brown hair, and tattoos of flames running up his arms, who staggered back. He wore a ragged black tank top, matching ripped jeans, and bare webbed feet.
Clutching his midsection, he crumpled to the ground, and his eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.
"Rrah!" Katsuki roared, his voice echoing as he thrust his right palm toward a wiry man with short, spiky blue hair and a snake tattoo coiling up his left arm. He wore a green sleeveless shirt, sliver shorts, green sneakers, and a black bandana tied loosely around his neck.
The explosion caused him to fall backward, collapsing into a wall and leaving him unconscious. But the resulting shockwave almost knocked Zrya off her feet. "Hey, watch where you blast that!" she exclaimed in annoyance, glaring at Katsuki.
"Shut it, Fang Face!" Katsuki shot back, his scowl deepening as he glanced at her before focusing on another target.
Suddenly, Zrya backflipped over a baseball bat swing. The weapon came from her new opponent, a wiry man with short, light brown hair and beady black eyes. He wears a black tank top, tattered blue jeans, and scuffed grey sneakers.
The dark purple-haired teen lands gracefully and retaliates with a swift, high kick to his jaw and a front kick to his chest, sending him sprawling against a boarded-up window.
She straightened up and blinked in realization as her expression changed to one of disbelief. "Did your a*s seriously just call me 'Fang Face'?!"
Before the Explosion Quirk user could retort, the Harderning Quirk user intervened. "Now's not the time for this, guys!" he barked.
A short, stocky man with bright red hair styled into a mohawk and many piercings adorning his face was spotted. He wore a white tank top, brown cargo pants, and black boots, dual-wielding fire pokers as he ran toward Eijiro.
Yet, when close enough, the red-haired teen hit the villain's midsection with a right hook, knocking him out and causing him to fall.
The trio of U.A. students stood back to back, and their determination shined through as more villains engaged them.
Mountain Zone-
To the east is a rugged and treacherous landscape that resembles a rocky, mountainous area dominated by jagged rock formations, cliffs, and towering overhangs. Narrow paths wind around the mountainside, leading to precarious ledges and outcrops, while hidden caves and dark caverns are tucked away.
At the foot of a small mountain stood Momo, Kyoka, and Denki, surrounded by loose gravel, boulders, and a crowd of villains.
In a flash of rainbow-colored light, Momo pulled out a six-foot metal pole from her right wrist while Kyoka drew a black-hilted sword from Momo's left thigh.
Afterward, the Creation Quirk user held her pole horizontally, her feet apart and knees slightly bent, while the Earphone Jack Quirk user held a sword up with bent knees and hands at waist height, both calmly glaring at their opponents.
Yet, unlike them, the Electrification Quirk user started shaking nervously as they prepared to fight.
Downpour Zone-
To the northwest is an enclosed city block drenched in heavy rain and battered by strong winds. Buildings of different heights and designs bear visible damage, with puddles and flowing water covering the ground. The streetlights flicker and sway while signs and debris are scattered around. The overcast sky pours rain, and wind gusts cause tree branches and loose objects to move unpredictably.
Fumikage and Koji stood back to back in the middle of an interaction, surrounded by villains.
Back with Kurogiri-
The Warp Gate Quirk user stood guard several dozen meters before the USJ's entrance gates, glaring at his opponents. Thirteen stood before him determinedly, along with Rikido, Mezo, Tenya, and Hanta, while Ochako and Mina stood behind them.
Same Time- U.A. High School-
"The number you've dialed is not in service or has been temporarily disconnected. Please check the number, and then try again. Thank you."

Inside the Teacher's Lounge, Toshinori sat on a sofa, lowered his plain, red-cased phone from his left ear, and sighed. He wore a yellow suit, white undershirt, blue and matching pants, and brown shoes.
"Neither Thirteen or Aizawa are picking up. Then again they are teaching…unlike me…Neglected my duties because I spent the entire morning commute being heroic. Damn, how could I have made such an amateurish move?" The pro hero asked himself before coming up with an idea.
"Maybe I can show up at the end and say something inspiring, get a good ten minutes out of my hero form." He mused, thinking about his students.
The OFA Quirk user stood up and transformed into All Might, smiling eagerly to meet up with his class; he began saying, "Time to join my stude-" before coughing up blood and groaning.
Then, the door slid open. Nezu stood at the doorway, and a tablet was tucked under his right shoulder. "Hold your horses." U.A.'s principal entered the lounge before closing the door behind them.
All Might turned to him, blood dripping down his lips. "Principal Nezu. Good to see you." He greeted.
"Good to see you, too. I was wondering why you were late when the period started. But I guess I know why."
Nezu held his tablet to show the Symbol of Peace a news article titled, 'All Might Resolves Three Incidents in Only One Hour.'
"Look at the news. Shall I read to you? According it this you resolved three incidents in just one hour!" All Might flinched at that face while Nezu sighed before continuing.
"The fault mainly lies in the ruffians who still cause trouble in this city despite you being here. But you also have to learn not to react every time you hear of an incident. You haven't changed in all these years, always proactive in hero work. But only now, injury now heavily limited in your time as a hero. Plus, you've got the added work of coaching One for All's successor. You insist on staying the Symbol of Peace and your only justification for staying out of the spotlight is by teaching. That's why I gave you this job." Nezu explained before turning around to see steam emitting from All Might.
"Oh dear, you're smoking. That can't be good." Nezu remarked, barely concerned.
Then, a steam cloud erupted around him, dispersing as All Might reverted to base form, groaning before sitting back down.
"It looks like you need to stay in the lounge and relax a little longer," Nezu noted, walking towards the opposite sofa and climbing atop it.
"The other teachers will understand since they are more than capable. But now that you are a teacher, All Might, you should prioritized your students over your hero work. They deserve it. After all, plenty of other hero agencies are working through the city."
"Yeah, I guess you're right, principal." Toshinori reluctantly agreed, whipping his blood off his lips with the back of his left palm.
"So I was going to head over to the USJ to make an appearance now, actually, if you don't mind." He told him.
"Even if you went now, you'll probably have to return almost immediately." Nezu reminded him, reaching out to pick up a small blue teapot. He then poured tea into two small silver mugs.
"So, you should stick around and listen to some of my teaching philosophies. They could prove…"
"Great… This is turning into a lecture…" the blond-haired adult mentally lamented as U.A.'s principal slowly pushed a mug toward his friend on the table.
"Here. Drink up." Nezu offered happily before he started sipping from his mug.
"He's so long-winded when there's tea involved. And I'm still a little concerned that Thirteen or Aizawa aren't answering." Toshinori thought before shrugging.
"Meh. I'm sure they'll just fine…" Toshinori thought casually.
"Let's start by discussing Combat Petigo G as through the lens of Ethical Quirk Use." Nezu began, his paws gesturing animatedly as he delved into the topic.
"You know, you haven't changed in all these years either, sir..." Toshinori pointed out dryly.
Back in the USJ-
"Got them? Anything at all?" Tenya asked Mezo, who had his six arms spread out behind him. Three morphed into ears, two into ears, and one into a mouth.
"They've been scattered across the facility. But our classmates are still here." The Dupli-Arms Quirk user reassured his classmates, who sighed in relief before facing back at the War Gate Quirk user.
"So, what do we do against him?" Hanta asked. "The guy doesn't take damage from physical attacks, not to mention he can teleport stuff like us!"
Thirteen, who stood between the villain and the students, looked over her left shoulder at Tenya. "Iida?"
"Yes?" The Engine Quirk user answered.
"I have a job for you. Run to the school and tell the facility what's happening here." The Black Hole Quirk user began, getting a gasp from him.
"The alarms aren't going off, and our phones and radios are useless right now. One of these villains must be to blame. Even though Eraserhead is canceling other people's Quirks left and right, we're still completely sealed off from the outside world. Likely, whoever was causing this interference hid as soon as they warp into the USJ. They can be anywhere, impossible to hunt down. It'll be faster for you to run, get help, and find who else is jamming everything." She explained out loud.
But the blue-haired teen blinked in disbelief at her request. "Yes, but… it'll be disgraceful for me to leave you all behind."
"Go, man," Rikido encouraged, walking up next to him along with Hanta. There are a lot of alarms outside, and I'm pretty sure that's why they're keeping us trapped in the USJ."
"As long as you get outside, they won't follow," The Tape Quirk user added, pointing his left elbow at Kurogiri. "Blow his stupid mist away with your engine legs."
"Use your Quirk to save others! Be a real hero," Thirteen said as Mezo approached the others.
"I can help you out, too," Ochako said as Tenya turned to Ochako and Mina, who were smiling. "Okay, no prob. So, do it, Iida."
Nodding at his peers, Tenya narrowed his eyes, bending his knees as he revived up his Quirk and waited.
The dark, foggy villain began to spread his purplish-black fog toward them, especially the glasses wearer. "Even if this is your only option, are you really foolish enough to strategize in front of your enemies?!"
"It doesn't matter if you know when I'm done with you." Thirteen quipped back, pointing her left index finger at him, creating a tiny black hole inside that gloved finger to suck in the fog.
"Black Hole!"
Flood Zone-
"Uh, what do you mean 'fight'? Are you crazy?! These guys might be able to kill All Might, and you think we can take them?! " Minoru frantically questioned aboard the yacht, "Did you hit your head when we got warped here?!" he yelled.
"The best plan for us is to just wait for a real Pro from U.A. to come and save us!" he whimpered, tears falling down his face.
Izuku and Tsuyu kept watch of the still villains and looked out at them villains. "Think about it. Those villains down there clearly have an advantage in the water and assume that's where we'll fight." The One for All Quirk user noted out loud.
"Are you even listening?!"
"If that's the case, they must've known what was inside the USJ before they warped in." Tsuyu said with an index finger to her chin.
"Yeah, but for a group with such careful planning, something sticks out to me that doesn't add up," Izuku said, scratching his chin.
"They sent you here, Asu-" She glanced at him as he gasped and quickly corrected himself. "Um…whoops, I meant Tsu! Yeah, they warped you to the Flood Zone of all places."
The dark green-haired teen blinked before he told him, "That kinda fell apart on you, didn't it?"
The lighter green-haired teen sighed before admitting, "A little bit…"
"But why does it matter that she's here?!" The Pop-Off Quirk user yelled.
"It means the villains have no idea what our Quirks are!" The One for All Quirk user proclaimed, allowing the Frog Quirk user to realize, too.
"You've got a point," she said, turning her head to the left to look at the orange dome with flame designs.
"If they knew I was a frog, they would've sent me into that fire looking zone over there instead of somewhere full of water."
"They probably separated us because they didn't know what we could do and planned to overpower us once we were in smaller groups. Easier to pick us off one by one." Izuku guessed while Mineta looked scared.
"But we can use that to our advantage. They don't know what our Quirks are. So, for all they know, the three of us could be super powerful."
He nodded as he turned back to the villains, who kept floating in the water, waiting. "See, none of them are trying to climb into the boat."
"But that also means that they won't underestimate us, either. They're being smart and playing it safe. For now."
"Okay. So let's talk Quirks. I'll go first if you two want." Tsuyu suggested to Minoru and Izuku, who nodded before the two taller teens knelt.
"Obviously, I can jump high and cling to pretty much any wall. Then, of course, there's my tongue. I can stick it out about 20 meters. Oh yeah, I can spit out my stomach to clean it. That's not really useful. Finally, I can also secrete toxic mucus, which just stings a bit.
"Secrete mucus?" Minoru thought with a gasp while blushing.
"We can only use my tongue and my jump here. Forget about the last things." The Frog Quirk user concluded.
"I knew you could do everything a frog can, but that's crazy," the One for All Quirk user said, looking at his right gloved hand.
"My Quirk grants me super strength but it comes at a price. If I use my full power, I'm pretty much out of commission. For now, it's a double-edged sword until I've masted it." Izuku admitted cautiously.
Minoru raised his left hand over his hand to pull off a purple sphere from his hair before a new one instantly grew back in place. "I" 've got these sticky balls.
The Pop Off Quirk user then stuck it onto a wall. "Their strength varies, depending on how I'm feeling, they might stick to something a whole day. They grow back as fast as I pull 'em off my hair. But I'll bleed if I use too many. Oh, and they don't stick to me. I just bounce right off 'em."
To his horror, both green-haired teens stared at him in silence as he started to whimper again before resuming his crying.
"Arrrrgh! Don't look at me like that! That's why I say we wait for the pro heroes to come! My Quirk is not totally unfit for battle and we're all gonna die!" He wailed.
Izuku quickly tried to calm him down."N-No, no. You have an incredible power. Really, we just need to figure out how to use it-"
Suddenly, the One for All Quirk user saw a massive hand made of water as it sliced the middle of the yacht, causing them to tremble from the force. "W-Wah!"
"I'm starting to get bored!" A muscular man with a pale, noseless, white face with grooves under the eyes, sunken sockets, and a skull-like appearance until the water hand.
He has blue eyes, white pupils, red markings on the cranium, lipless teeth, and a gold armor-like piece surrounding his lower head. He wore a black bodysuit, grey gloves, armored boots, and a belt with his face's design. "Let's get the show on the road."
"That's a great power. Now the ship's sinking." Tsuyu pointed out. But in a panic, Minoru ran to the railing, pulled out his purple spheres, and repeatedly threw them in the water.
"You gotta calm down, they'll guess your Quir-" But Izuku paused when he noticed the Shark Quirk user splashed a few of his spheres away from him, saying, "What the heck are these things."
"Wait, they're that afraid to touch them…?"
"The boat will be fully submerged in less than a minute. And once they're in the water, they don't stand a chance against us!" The villain told his allies before glaring at the U.A. students.
The purple-haired teen stumbled back against a wall, frightened. "We're fish food!"
"So Mineta," The dark green-haired teen began, "are you sure the hero thing is really for you?" she wondered curiously.
"SHUT UP! It's weirder not to be scared right now!" the Pop Off Quirk user yelled back, "We just got outta junior high a little while ago! I didn't think I'd be facing death less then a week after starting U.A.!" he pointed out as tears kept pouring from his eyes, "I can't believe I'm gonna die without ever getting to touch Yaoyorozu boobs or Nicolas' ass!"
"Listen up…" Izuku chimed in, getting their attention
"An enemy that's certain of their victory is bound to make a mistake...All Might said something along those lines during a TV interview a while back," he added.
"Wh-What does that mean?!" Minoru asked with a stutter but then gasped as he saw the OFA Quirk user's balled left fist shaking.
"We can stop them here and now," he assured, "This is our chance! We can beat them!" he declared, activating Full Cowling as they blinked in surprise.
Izuku turned his head around to look at both classmates with a nervous yet smiling expression, getting a gasp from them.
The Shark Quirk user chuckled at their opponent's predicament. "Poor babies. Sounds like they're crying for their mommies up here." He mocked.
"Hey, now. Don't forget, Shigaraki told us not to let our guard down," the Water Control Quirk user reminded them.
"We can't judge 'em by their age but by their Quirks. They could do anything." He raised his right hand from the water to form another massive water hand.
"Of course, we'll definitely have an advantage in the water, so I'm not exactly worried."
Tsuyu held onto Minoru in her right arm while she looked over to Izuku, who planted his right foot onto the railing of the sinking yacht.
"Ahhhhh! BRING IT ON!" he yelled as he leaped off.
"Stupid move, kid!" The Water Control Quirk user shouted, balling his hand of water into a fist.
However, the One for All Quirk user raised his right arm, gripped his index finger, and aimed his right hand at the water, using their other arm to support their held-up hand. His green bioelectricity flowed and cracked around that right index finger.
"I can't unleash enough power with just 13% of One for All alone for this to work, so…I need to go 100%."
Tsuyu crouched and asked her shorter classmate. "Ready Mineta?" Minoru couldn't believe what Izuku was doing as sweat dripped down his face.
"Even though he's as scared as I am, even though he's shaking…he's still going through with this."
"Take this!" the OFA Quirk user exclaimed. DELAWARE SMAAAAASH!" he yelled as he flicked his finger to fire a massive shockwave onto the water, destroying that glove. The force also pushed the villains but started to create a giant whirlpool.
He winced in pain as his right index finger and thumb were mildly swollen and red, but he screamed out to his friends, "Tsu! Mineta, now!"
Tsuyu leaped off and shot out her tongue to wrap it around his torso to yank him away.
After undoing Full Cowling, Izuku used his left hand to reach into one of his belt pockets, pulled out a Recovery Stim, and injected it into his right forearm. At the same time, Minoru balled his hands into fists in frustration.
"What the heck, Midoriya? How do you do it? You've been acting so cool, and I'm not helping at all."
"Uwahhh!" Minoru started throwing off several of his purple spheres from his head onto the water. "Take this, you villains! You can eat my sticky balls!"
As the spheres landed in the water, the villains started to get dragged into the whirlpool.
"What's going on?"
"I'm getting dragged in!"
The water began to rise again, but the spheres began to stick to the villains' bodies as they attempted to peel it off, only to have their hands stick to it.
"Did these come from that kid?!"
"I can't get 'em off of me!"
"My hand's stuck!"
The spheres started to stick more and more villains together, preventing them from escaping. The criminals were then caught in the shockwave's vortex of water waves. The villains were then enveloped by water waves in the shockwave's vortex.
"If a strong force is applied to water's surface, the water will be pushed away, and then come rushing right back to the middle!" The One for All Quirk user explained to them.
From then on, the two shattered parts of the yacht and the criminals were hurled up out of the lake. They returned after landing, but the criminals lost consciousness once they slammed back into the water.
"Looks like we rounded 'em all up," the Frog Quirk user noted. Not too shabby." She complimented Izuku and Minoru, "You guys are pretty amazing, both of you."
"I guess we passed the Flood Zone!"
Same Time-
As the last villain fell, Tekkan, unfazed, glanced at Mashirao, who stood on one knee, breathing heavily and wiping sweat off his forehead.
"I mean, they did a little bit better this time…" Tekkan remarked aloud but shook his head. "But they weren't even a challenge."
Mashirao raised an eyebrow, and curiosity piqued as he stood up. "What do you mean, Tekkan? We took them down pretty easily."
Tekkan sighed before answering, "I know that, but I just can't grow any stronger if these types of villains aren't strong enough."
Before Mashirao could respond, far back away in the city, he noticed another dozen villains approaching. His tail swayed cautiously. "Even more villains, huh?"
Tekkan's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, he was eager to engage them. But then, a look of realization crossed his face. "I can't waste any more time here. There are more important things to do."
"Go on," Mashirao said, getting the teenage Saiyan's attention while stepping before him now, glaring at the approaching villains. "I can handle these guys myself. The rest of the class needs you, class rep."
Tekkan considered it momentarily, reaching inside his gi to pull out a Capsule and click it. Smoke appeared on his right palm as it cleared to reveal a black respirator.
"If that's the case, take this," the jet-black-haired teen said, handing it to Mashirao. It'll help filter out any more smoke."
"Thank you." The blond-haired teen took the respirator gratefully, fitting it on and adjusting it over his nose and mouth. "I'll catch up with you at the entrance once I'm done here."
Tekkan nodded, his gaze briefly flicking to his Scouter as he checked Mashirao's power level compared to the villains'.
"Alright, man." Tekkan then turned and ran in the opposite direction. After a few seconds, with a leap, he shouted, "Flying Nimbus!"
Soon, a yellow cloud zipped through the smoke and caught him in midair.
Then, he started to soar above the city, and his mind wandered. "The rest of my classmates should be able to defend themselves…but that visible-brained villain...he's different. I hope the rest of the class stays away from him because… after all…"
Tekkan then smiled in pure anticipation. "He's mine to take down!"
Preview: Eraser Head bravely takes on the villains to give his class and colleague a chance to escape. Yet, most of the students were scattered across the USJ. Thus, giving them a chance to use their combat skills against excepted enemies of justice and peace. But, with their teacher, All Might, occupied, does Tekkan have what it takes to help the rest of his Class stop this League of Villains here?
