-Chapter 6: Unforseen Consequences at the USJ; A Terrible Power Awakens-
Class 1A enters the facility, looking around in wonder at all the various scenarios that are portrayed here! And at the center of it all, was a small Hero in an astronaut outfit simply called "Thirteen" handling the announcements. Ochako herself was starstruck, as Thirteen was her absolute favorite Hero!
"Hello, class! Today, we'll be talking and demonstrating about using your Quirks to save lives! Because while we often see Heroes fighting Villains, it's more likely that Heroes will try to rescue trapped civilians when they are in danger as portrayed in these simulations! That is why this place is called the Unforseen Simulation Joint, the USJ!" Thirteen started out.
"The same Thirteen whose famous for being a premiere Rescue Hero!" Izuku geeked out. While Aizawa wanted to glare, the astronaut placed their hand in front of Aizawa, settling him down.
"The very same, Midoriya! My Quirk, Black Hole, allows me to disintegrate anything by focusing on an object with my finger. It is, however, extremely dangerous, as it can seriously harm, or even kill innocents! But, with enough Hero Training, even a Quirk as dangerous as mine or as combat-heavy as many of the teacher's Quirks can be used to save lives! With my piece said, the class will now commence!" As Thirteen finished their speech, the electricity went out, as a dark void opens up in the courtyard.
"Indeed, let the class commence!" a voice called out, a hand climbing out followed by a lanky man with a hand covering his face, eyes shooting a fierce red glare.
Aizawa and 13's face lit up with alertness, the students sans Goku feeling fearful of the portal and its inhabitants as they slowly got out of the portal. The two teachers immediately assumed defensive stances.
"Class, this is not a drill. These guys are actual villains. Huddle together, Thirteen, protect the students!" Aizawa commanded, springing forth with life as he changes into his battle outfit. Goku finally remembers him! He was the one Hero who almost actually caught him when he was a vigilante! No wonder why he felt his spine chilled by that red stare…
"Students! Behind me, now!" Thirteen backs up to the student mass.
"Hey, where's All Might? He was supposed to be here, not this scrawny bug!" A villain yelled, Aizawa's fears were confirmed: Someone has indeed infiltrated UA.
"I wonder if he'll come here faster if we slaughter these students?" Another villain yelled. Aizawa was internally in full-crisis mode upon this comment, the students' fear deepening while Goku felt lightly nervous on hearing the death threat. However, beyond that, he felt the need to protect his peers, determined they will not be harmed by that Villain and his portable Clown Car of an assistant.
"Thirteen, we need to evacuate the students immediately! I'll handle these villains!" Aizawa commands.
"I want to help, Aizawa-sensei!" Goku says, trying to move but is blocked by Thirteen.
"No Son! It's too dangerous! Get back, warn the others!" Aizawa snapped back, putting Goku in his place, as he leaps into action. As the students tried to evacuate, they are stopped by the black mist figure.
It was Kurogiri blocking the way. What few attacks landed on the black mist, simply disappeared. Except for a slight ting noise as something had hit metal.
"We are the League of Villains, and our goal is to kill All Might, the Symbol of Peace. I apologize for our intrusion, but we will not hold back even if you're just students," Kurogiri said, as he used his Quirk to teleport everyone randomly; only a few kids remained at the entrance way. There was a dome, screaming, then darkness, before it gave way to light.
Goku finds himself close to Mashirao. They band together when they see a gaggle of minor Villains approaching them.
"We'll cut you kids down!" one of them taunted."You ain't so tough!" another said, he leads the circle as it closes in on the two.
Mashirao's fear melted into a focused determination, while Goku glared around, the nervousness having easily been blown away, the two students assumed fighting poses. The villains come in, attacking like a swarm of locusts. However, their martial arts are proving difficult for these hooligans to break through. Where the long-tailed kid is vulnerable, his monkey-tailed friend was able to cover with his lightning speed and immense power. Where Goku focuses on one, Mashirao's massive tail stops the group from overwhelming them. The figurative dance ends with the two surrounded by a small army of knocked out minor villains in a decisive victory. These Villains were no different than the ones he faced when I was Kid Kong, the Saiyan had thought.
"Hey, thanks for the help, Son Goku!" Mashirao said, panting a little.
"That's what Heroes are for, Ojiro!" Goku replied in kind, also lightly panting, paling when he spotted Aizawa being surrounded by Villains. "I need to help Aizawa! I'm going to the Central Plaza!"
"Goku, he's a Pro, and as much as I'd love to help him myself, what we need to do is return to the exit and get help. We can still help him while allowing ourselves to escape that way!" the blonde-tailed kid replied.
"I know you're right, but I don't still want to leave him..." he said, dejected. The two proceed to get out of the Fire Zone and come towards the central arena.
Aizawa is fighting the ringleader, Tomura Shigaraki, He is handling him well, but Goku detours from their route when he sees an absolute massive Villain attempting to attack his teacher from behind, Mashirao looking in horror at his partner going to intercept that giant thug. Landing a massive jump kick to the beast's head, Shigaraki turned with shock as he sees a wannabe Hero attacking his main muscle and sending him skidding back, while it squawks in confusion as it looks around for what kicked it, before laying its eyes on the bold kid who kicked it. The tailed student had thankfully been able to regroup, helping the Entrance group in allowing Tenya to escape despite Kurogiri's attempts.
"Don't attack my Nomu! He's meant for the final boss, not a rank and file mook Hero like yourself!" Shigaraki said in disgust. Does this kid seriously have a death wish? He'll be more than willing to grant it.
"Son...! Get out while you still can...!" Aizawa yells, exhausted but still fighting Shigaraki, with one of his elbows reddened from being disintegrated. He was angry, but also scared out of his wits that his own student is willing to face Death himself just to rescue him. Not only that, but it had to be the one that looks like his best friend, just with an orange gi instead of a blue one, and with a wild hairstyle similar to his, though black instead of white.
The Nomu roars and attacks Goku. He blocks, but was still sent flying, knocked down by the heavy punch, as Izuku, Tsuyu, and Minoru are watching in horror from their hiding spot. However, that horror melts to shock as Goku, while being flung back, started to right himself by backflipping into his fight stance, his eyes now focused on the Nomu as he waits his next move.
"If you are able to fight despite being overwhelmed, Mr. Aizawa, then I will fight alongside you." Goku says, his gi getting tattered as he yells, the fighting spirit roaring to life in his blood, a dust cloud circling around before exploding as to escape from him. His determination is steeled, and Shigaraki felt a ting of intrigue in the boy. However, soon, he'll just be dust. He's a nobody, just a pathetic brat with parlor tricks.
"Hmm, if that's the case... Nomu, attack that boy over there and end his game! Then, show his body to All Might." Shigaraki smiled psychotically.
"Young Master, a student had escaped. We're now on a strict time limit..." Kurogiri said, and while the main Villain grimaced, he simply looked at Nomu, expecting he'll finish the job before those pesky UA Staff comes in.
"If you weren't the only one who could get us out, I would have killed you," Shigaraki coldly remarked.
The fight between Goku and the Nomu goes underway, as Goku is able to outmaneuver and attacks the Nomu, taking it down a notch. However, it looks like there's barely any damage inflicted on the beast. Regardless, Goku was still able to dodge his giant opponent's flurry of punches, and in return, give a powerful blow to Nomu in its gut. A bit too powerful, as he blew a hole in the thing's midriff with his arm going bicep deep into its gut. The most shocking thing to Goku was that it was regenerating that hole once he pulled out.
"Ah, I had neglected to tell you one thing, brat. He's got a regeneration Quirk. You're actually not bad entertainment, but you've got to go. Kurogiri, assist our pet, will ya?" Shigaraki commanded.
"As you wish, Master," Kurogiri said, and when Goku was just about to land a hit on the beak, a small portal opened as his arm went in.
Shigaraki was confused as to why his portal master won't close the portal, but then he realizes. This was a feign to throw that brat off-guard, and make him vulnerable to his weapon. The abomination landed a critical blow on the Saiyan's chest and he was sent flying into the wall. This pain was unimaginable, but before he could even get himself out, the beast lands a punch to his gut, knocking out any wind he's got. The Nomu lands blow after blow on the teen, trying to punch through the surprisingly tough body of its victim.
The world went silent, as Goku feels his life ebbing out of his mouth and the earth rumbled as more blows made their mark. Before it can land the fatal blow on the downed Saiyan, it was sent flying by All Might! As the Symbol of Peace looks to the beaten Goku, he is relieved to see he's still breathing, his eyes darting towards the Nomu and lighting up bright blue in a fierce rage.
"You can rest, Young Son... For I am here!" All Might announced, before he engaged the Nomu in combat.
"Goddamn it! That pesky Symbol's here... This is Game Over, Kurogiri. Ready evac in a few minutes, but not before I kill at least one brat, I can't come back to Sensei with a 0 K:D ratio," Shigaraki spoke.
"Of course, Young Master. There's a girl hiding nearby. She'll be your lamb that All Might could not save," Kurogiri confirmed.
"Excellent...!" the Villain was cackling, the portal opens up, Asui was stunned, this portal came out of nowhere, close to where they were hiding! "Time for you to be lamb chops, child!" He yelled. He actually got three fingers on the frog's face, before his wrist was wrenched away.
"Noooo! GODDAMN IT!" The Villain hissed, his wrist seriously stung, and in front of him, was Aizawa. Tired, yet with the fury of a thousand suns and tears in his eyes, he is ready to fight despite the injuries on his body. He is unwilling to let anyone else die, not after the shade of the past had sacrificed himself to give the rest of his classmates a chance to escape with their lives. The mourning can come later.
"You will not touch my students with your rotten fingers! Nor will your abomination kill anymore of them!" Aizawa shouted in defiance, restarting his fight against Shigaraki.
Despite only being an appetizer for the League, the blue-haired villain silently admits that Eraserhead actually pretty cool. However, despite taking numerous punches and kicks, he soon was able to catch one of his teacher's attacks and starts to choke him out.
Not too far away from the battle, Goku was coming to, half-conscious from the Nomu reckoning as he gets out very slowly from the Goku-shaped wall crater. However, what he sees, as much as his eyes can allow him to see is Aizawa being choked out by Shigaraki, intent on trying to get him to close his eyes, to Decay his body. And not too far away, he eventually sees an injured Izuku and Shoto barely saving All Might from being chopped in half by Kurogiri's portal, and a shaken Asui alongside Minoru hiding in a bush. The Saiyan can only hear his heart beating, faster and faster, fury starting to boil up in him, rejuvenating his aching body, giving him more power to fight! However, it was for that brief moment that would change everything for the young Goku.
It was as if time slowed down, his fury bubbling over into an eruption, yelling his lungs out as the earth rumbled, cratering, and fracturing, an explosion of energy bursting forth with gusts of winds, and a bright yellow beam of light erupting around him and lighting up the USJ; his tail twitching wildly, and his hair spiked up as his hands were tightly clenches into fists to his sides. Shigaraki notices the boy, an otherworldly yellow aura surrounding his body like a massive fire, his gi and undershirt torn asunder to show off his muscles bulked up, small rocks floating all around him. All around his body, his veins visible as he looks with a furious grimace that would send chills down anyone's spine, especially with blood dripping down his face on the right. He looks at his prey's eyes, noticing yellow irises surrounding the otherwise black pupils he had.
Shigaraki, convinced that the boy was broken as he looked zombie-like in his stance, didn't see it that way as his grip on Aizawa's neck loosened by this distraction, scratching the back of his neck in curiosity. If it were any other student, they should have been be incapacitated, if not just straight up killed. However, Goku isn't just any other student…
"Please... You're up again? My dear brat, you must realize that you're at least fifteen levels below all of us! You are nothing more than just a morsel for Nomu to eat..." Shigaraki said in a hushy tone, as if he's speaking with a misbehaving baby.
Goku's teeth clenched in rage, his stance came back, but he looks more hunched over, bestial. Regardless, this coward will pay dearly for attack his comrades and teachers.
"SHUT UP!" Goku roared, his malice palpable.
The shockwave of his voice reverberating throughout the dome, he gets up close to Shigaraki within the blink of an eye and punches the scrawny villain in his gut before sending him far away from Aizawa towards the rocky wall with an intense roundhouse kick, causing him to yell out in pain. However, before he can even hit the wall, he appears just in front of him and bats him away again with a backhand, this time towards the fountain. The next time he flew, the Nomu tried to catch his master, but then Goku came and landed a vicious kick to send it flying back towards a shocked All Might, it actually writhing a little in pain as the main Villain landed in the fountain.
Shigaraki, now partially buried in the marble and water, twitches in excruciating pain and becomes furious, while Aizawa looked at his student with shock and fear at the raw power he feels emanating from his student. This didn't feel like the Goku he tested at the beginning of the year, it felt more like a primal force of nature made manifest taking his form! That kid... That shade... He refused to die!
As for the 1-A kids nearby, they were stuck in place. It was like they were watching a horror movie figure made manifest, and that figure was the cheerful monkey kid they got to know for a couple days.
"W-W-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Minoru was horrified, with the only thing keeping him from shouting and running in complete panic was a hand over his mouth as he and his partner hide deeper in the bush.
"I don't know, Mineta-san, but I do not like this overwhelming feeling, ribbit." Asui replied, feeling a chill run down her own spine, her voice breaking ever so slightly as she tried to calm her own nerves. "But if Goku is still on our side, we might be able to make it out of this."
With Shoto and Izuku, the Ice-Hot Student felt a cold sweat roll down his body, while Izuku, on instinct, tried to run to his berserk friend, only for Shoto to grab his classmate.
"Midoriya, stop!" Shoto yelled, struggling to keep the thrashing Izuku from getting out of his grip. "I don't want you getting yourself killed running to Son!"
"SON-SAAAN!" Yelled a desperate Izuku, trying to get himself closer to his friend.
Finally, Katsuki and Eijiro looked on, both of them shocked. The ashened bomber, admittedly, actually felt a bit of fear make its way into his knees, causing them to lightly tremble. This Monkey...
"...What the fuck happened to him...?" Katsuki can only ask in hushed tones to his partner, who can only look on in awe.
"I have no idea, but I think our luck's finally beginning to change," Eijiro responds. "Though how is he even still up and fighting like that?"
Rage overwhelming the boy, he lets out an awful aura with his roar, which sounds like a full-on Kaiju roar mixed with his human-like body, his energy exploding into a violent fire around his body as another invisible shockwave rocks the USJ. Within the building, every minor Villain still active, outside of Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and the Nomu, felt an overwhelming dread. The USJ dome, itself creaking in trying to contain the infuriated Saiyan's roar, sounded even more like Hell, complete with a wail of tortured souls as many had lost all reasoning in the roar-induced panic.
"No! T-This is impossible! Just a moment ago, you were dying! You had your body broken by my Nomu's punches! A-And yet you came back, stronger than ever?! HACKS! I CALL HACKS! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LEVELED UP AFTER YOUR ASS WAS BEATEN RAW, YOU GODMODDING PIECE OF CRAP!" Shigaraki shouting in fury, shaking from fear and the immense pain, as Kurogiri returns to his side.
"Master, it's much too dangerous to stay around here any longer. We need to retreat, now." Kurogiri was urgent. He tries to set up a portal, but his Master refuses, shoving him out of the way as he gets up, looking around for someone to kill.
As Goku saw All Might was ready to engage in a punch off with the giant beast again, he came in to help, punching the abomination right in the face to draw its attention, causing it to squawk in confusion before roaring at the boy, who replies back with another awful roar.
"What the- Young Son, I have him under control! Run!" All Might pleaded.
As the berserk kid was close to punching out All Might, something deep within him realized something... familiar with this rage. It's similar to the rage that had consumed him so much when he became that giant ape. But, it's clearly not night outside, and as far as he knew, the full moon was not going to be out until a couple days. But, the rage was similar enough that he started to acclimate, though such a process was insanely difficult at this point in time. However, thankfully for everyone, the Goku that everyone knew started to resurface, but only with enough control such that he won't attack indiscriminately. It helped that, as he thought about his anger, he had heard Izuku shout out his name.
"No." Was all that Goku muttered, very softly, before he clenches his hands again, this time an aura burning through it as he lands his punch on the Nomu, as it punches the berserk warrior right in the face. It felt like it was being burned as it yelps in pain and yet the Saiyan simply grunted with a piercing glare, with the No. 1 Hero deciding to sucker punch the zombified super beast away. But just as he was ready to blitz the Nomu, he noticed Shigaraki and a smaller portal. Going towards Izuku's injured frame.
As if by instinct and fueled by fury, one of his hands opens up, mimicking the positioning of Katsuki's hand when he prepares an Explosion, but he is subconsciously gathering energy for a blue ball of energy that he hurls towards Shigaraki's arm. The attack lands a direct hit, causing the Villain to howl as his arm got singed as he jerked his arm out the portal.
With a feral smirk, he now focuses on the Nomu who was fighting All Might, weaving his own fists to fight the genetic monster. The two's forces in their punches wear down on Nomu faster, the young blood-lusted Saiyan keeping up, even surpassing All Might's own righteous fury. Even when the Nomu had landed a couple more blows, all they did was force Goku to back off before he dashed back into combat. Soon, the hulking abomination was barely able to keep up, its injuries taking longer to bounce back from. The student and teacher duo looked at one another, a blue pupil meeting a vivid yellow briefly flicking back to onyx, as they nodded and launched their final attack. A Beyond 100% Smash and a devastating punch, the cloud turning into a dragon that takes Nomu away, banished to the atmosphere.
With the source of his wrath seemingly destroyed, Goku started to pant heavily as he falls onto his knee, his fury deteriorating fast and his injuries' pain starting to overwhelm his body. However, he looks at All Might, whose smile was not as heavily pronounced and gave a chuckle, a grin, and a thumbs up. Then he finally falls to the ground, exhausted and unconscious, his power vanishing and the fear it held started to dissipate. Despite all that rage, he had looked peaceful in his unconscious form, a small smile staying on his face. For what felt like an eternity for him, there was nothing. Darkness had settled around his body. But, he wasn't dead, his heart was still beating, and he can still think, but the sheer exhaustion made even the thought of thinking laborious.
Suddenly. he woke up, right as he saw the Heroes near the USJ exit, with Tenya leading them, the students and more importantly, his teachers, are safe. However, he saw Thirteen had their entire back seemingly decayed. The remaining Villains that are a danger, which were just Shigaraki and Kurogiri, are long gone after the Nomu was sent flying, the rest having been routed quickly after Goku fell unconscious. Soon, his eyes locked on Izuku, who was looking at him with extreme concern.
"S-Son-san...?" Izuku said. His voice was shaking, and his left arm was purple.
"Ugh... Ow... M-Midoriya...!" Goku replied. He slowly got up, holding his arm that he punched the Nomu with his prototype Dragon Fist. It was still normal, but it burns if he tries to lift his hand any higher than his chest. Actually, his entire body was aching real badly, especially his chest. "A... are they safe...?" He asked, while he knew that they're safe, he's wondering about All Might, but most of all about Aizawa.
"They are... B-but are you okay...? It looked like you had blacked out when you got up, and you fought with such ferociousness that All Might couldn't get you to stop fighting that Nomu! The yelling and roaring was so powerful, it melted the will of any remaining Villains aside from Shigaraki and the Nomu!" Izuku commented, his voice a bit fearful, yet with some pride in it.
"R... Right. I felt an anger, a rage boil over me... I-I couldn't watch Aizawa or All Might die. But then, I saw a face of myself... morphing into a monster. And I blacked out after that...!" Goku remarked, a couple Pro Heroes bring a stretcher-bound Aizawa to the Saiyan.
"Son Goku... All Might and I... want a word with you..." Aizawa said, on a stretcher as he was still heavily injured during his fight with Shigaraki. Though his eyes were more noticeably puffy and red.
Goku feels discouraged, as he knows it's a reprimand. But he feels calm. His friends are okay, there were no dead casualties on UA's side, and much of the Villains were headed to jail. However, he was soon forced on a stretcher, his chest needing to be treated.
Some time later, when Aizawa and Goku was recovered enough to have a meeting with his student. The Saiyan, miraculously, had gotten away with just a couple of chest pads and a wrapping of gauze where those pads are located, his head having already healed up well enough it required no head wraps. In spite of his beat down, X-Rays had shown that his skeleton had been barely affected, though his ribs were fractured, so he cannot perform any rigorous exercises while he's recovering.
"Young Son Goku, sit down." All Might, or rather, Toshinori Yagi said, as he and Aizawa sat, though for Aizawa is more that he was upright in his stretcher bed, on the opposite end of the table. A support cat, white as snow with some black boots, was to his left, mewing and purring as she rubbed her body against his uncovered head gently, it wasn't very damaged compared to the rest of his body.
Goku did as he told and sat in the chair, distressed having to see All Might in that withered state. While Toshinori wouldn't have wanted Goku to see him in this skinny form, he wants to squash that berserk bug right now before this young Hero-to-Be dies for nothing.
"Son Goku, what you did at the USJ was beyond irrational. It was flat out suicidal. You really could have died that day," Aizawa's red eyes pierced Goku's soul, his voice dripping with venom.
"And what of your family, Son Gohan and Son Mikai? What would they have to think if they heard news that their child was killed by Villains?" All Might's blue eyes chilled Goku's bones, with his fatherly voice of disappointment causing Goku to feel great shame.
"I... I'm sorry. I thought I was helping... You were both being beaten by the Villains, and I cannot stand to watch either of you die..." he said, head bowed down in shame. The two teachers sighed.
"I will not forget what I've said, Son. However, I will also not forget that you've saved my life, and that you've helped your students and All Might, too. You will not be expelled today, but you need to control yourself," Aizawa said firmly.
"For your own safety, Young Son. Principal Nezu has set up a meeting with you, and I think it's imperative you take it. However, I would lie if I said I didn't need your help. I owe you a great deal with that Nomu. Regardless, as Aizawa-sensei said, I want you to control yourself so you won't needlessly sacrifice yourself," All Might replies. Goku nodded in silent agreement.
"Will it be okay if I take that meeting tomorrow?" He asked, the two teachers looking at each other before they nodded.
"That's the most rational choice you've made today," Aizawa dryly replied. "However, Toshinori will need to call for me, since I can't move."
"Don't worry about it, Shota. I have it covered. Get some rest," his partner spoke, he nods as the phone buzzed.

Dislikes: Anything Threatening His Allies
AN: Goku's Berserk Form is a dead ringer for Broly's Ikari form, though at this point in the story it's closer to a Pseudo-Ikari Form, only allowing a fraction of Ikari/Great Ape Power. Complete with an unstable lust to destroy whatever enemies he's facing and the almost complete reduction of his lexicon to the most basic words, screams, and angry roars. It's handicap is that it takes a lot out of Goku to use the form, both in mentality and stamina in exchange for boosted power and speed. I just like the words "Berserk" and "Berserker" because of Yu-gi-oh and the Berserker Soul scene, where Yami Yugi overkills Weevil Underwood/Inspector just by accident, I gave him Bardock's Riot Javelin.
Also, as it turns out, Aizawa's best friend was a Sun Wukong character, as well! So it'd make sense that Son Goku, a character that's about as close as you can get to Sun Wukong, would give Aizawa more than a few gray hairs.
