Kota was paralyzed with fear after being confronted by a masked villain. He steps back in complete fear as Muscular walks towards him.
Muscular: "I came up here scouting for a nice vantage point, and here I find someone who's not on our list. By the way, nice hat, kid. I like it. Why don't you trade me for this lame mask, huh? They made me wear it cause I'm new. Said they couldn't get a shipment of good ones in time."
he said as he removed his mask. Kota runs away but Muscular cuts him off by activating his Quirk and jumping in front of him. This made Kota scream which someone in particular heard him.
Muscular: "I think you and me should have some fun up here kid. Ready?" he said with a laugh as his hood revealed his face.
Flashback
Newscaster: water hose. Two heroes sharing one name. But this couple's bright future was cut short. Ended by one criminal's heinous actions. A truly tragic story. The villain in question is still at large, through police and heroes are on his trail, hoping to apprehend him soon. The suspect is extremely dangerous and has a power-up quirk. If you see this face, contact the police immediately. Do not approach him. Additionally, the suspect sustained a major injury to his left eye during his fight with the water hose...
Flashback end
Kota (tears): "It's you... PAPA! MAMA!"
Before muscular could crush Kota with his powered-up fist, kota was saved from getting crushed under his fist by a person. Kota looked up to see a familiar look he saw a while back.
Kota: "MISTER!!" he said with a cry as he hugged him.
Izuku: "Just what the hell did you get yourself into brat."
Muscular: "Huh! What do you think you're doing?!" he yelled in anger.
Izuku: "Why you trying to hurt this brat? What's he done to you!" he said with a menacing tone as he got Infront of Kota.
Muscular: "So you were never with us in the first place huh? Fine, guess I'll kill you too." he said as muscle tissues began to cover his
Izuku: "Stay back kid." He said as he cracked his knuckles and stretched his arms. Kota nodded as he went back a few steps.
As Muscular's muscles bulged and he prepared to attack, Izuku took a defensive stance, ready to protect Kota.
Muscular: "You're gonna regret turning on us, hero hunter."
With a roar, Muscular charged at Izuku, his fists swinging with deadly force. Izuku dodged the first blow, his reflexes honed from countless battles. He countered with a swift kick aimed at Muscular's midsection, but the villain deflected it effortlessly with his enhanced strength. Muscular lunges forward, his fists aimed at Izuku with deadly intent, but the martial artist effortlessly dodges each blow with graceful agility.
Izuku: "Tchh... thought you were stronger than that." He said with a cocky grin.
With a roar, Muscular charges forward once more, his fists raining down like a relentless storm. Izuku gracefully weaves between the blows, his movements fluid and precise.
Izuku: "Predictable". Izuku taunts, his voice laced with confidence. "You rely too much on brute force. It's about finesse, not just muscle."
Izuku POV: "It's like I'm fighting Tank top master. Only difference is that he knows a few fighting styles. Well... doesn't matter. The outcome is already clear."
Macular: "Thanks for the lesson, brat. Once I kill you, I'll put your head on my wall and use that kid's skull as a cup to drink his blood."
Muscular snarls in response, his attacks growing more frenzied as he struggles to land a hit on his elusive opponent. But Izuku remains calm, his movements like poetry in motion. He's hands following with a blue stream as the land a hot on Muscular one by one.
With a final, decisive strike, he delivers a powerful blow that sends Muscular crashing to the mountain wall, defeated. This created a large crack on the wall and sent shockwave throughout the forest.
Izuku: "Tsk... Pathetic weakling..." he said as he walked towards Kota who was on the ground.
Izuku: "Brat... You good?"
Kota nodded: "H— how are you so strong, Mister?" he asked in awe.
Izuku: "Brat, I told you not to call me that. I'm only 16."
Despite the apparent defeat, Muscular refuses to stay down. With a primal roar, he rises from the forest floor, his muscles bulging with renewed fury.
Muscular: "I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Izuku narrows his eyes, his focus sharpening as he readies himself for the next onslaught. "Persistent, aren't you? I'll give you that. But you're getting on my nerves now."
Muscular charges forward once more, his attacks wild and relentless. Izuku meets each blow with precision and skill, his movements a mesmerizing dance of combat.
Izuku: "You can keep coming at me all you want," Izuku says calmly, his voice cutting through the chaos. "But I'm getting tired of this."
With a calculated move, Izuku seizes an opening in Muscular's defence, delivering a series of rapid strikes that leave the villain staggered and disoriented. Muscular growls in frustration, his movements becoming more erratic as his strength begins to wane. But Izuku remains focused, his resolve unshaken.
Izuku: "It's over!"
In a final, decisive move, Izuku delivers a powerful blow that sends Muscular crashing to the ground once more, defeated for good.
Izuku: "Jeez, that took some time huh? Brat?"
He turned to Kota only to see him standing behind Izumi looking scared from all the fighting they did.
Izuku: "what do you want?" he said coldly.
Izumi: "Izuku... look I'm So—"
Izuku: "Save your breath. I don't need your excuse."
Izumi's expression softened, her eyes betraying a mix of guilt and longing.
Izumi: "Izuku, please, just hear me out. I know I messed up, but I want to make things right."
Izuku's gaze remained cold, his distrust evident in every line of his body.
Izuku: "You had your chance, Izumi. You made your choice."
Izumi: "I know, and I regret it every day. But I'm not the same person I was back then. I've changed, Izuku. Please, let me prove it to you."
Izuku's fists clenched at his sides, his emotions warring within him. The memories of her and Bakugo bullying him for being quirkless, the memories of his parents ignoring him and the memories of the disappointed faces when everyone found out he was quirkless flashed between his eyes.
Izuku kicked her in the stomach so hard she went crashing to the wall. It was all because of his anger and rage that she had made all these years. Izumi threw up blood as she went crashing. As she got up, she tried to reason with him,
Izumi staggered to her feet; pain etched across her face. She reached out to Izuku, desperation in her eyes.
Izumi: "Please, Izuku... I know I hurt you, but please... come back." she said as tears began to drop from her eyes.
Izuku: "Get the brat to safety. And if you and your little heroes follow me, you won't live another day. Oh, also... they wanna kidnap the Pomeranian bastard."
With that, Izuku turned away, leaving Izumi alone while she was trying to recover from the harsh kick she received. Kota stood next to Izumi as he waved at Izuku.
Kota: "Bye mister!!"
Meanwhile
Kurogiri: "Will they really be all right by themselves?"
Shigaraki: "Yeah. It's not my turn to be on stage right now. They're enough by themselves. In other words, the game has changed. Up until now, it was a role-playing game where we had all the equipment but challenged the last boss while still at level 1. I should've thought of it as a simulation game. I should be the player, using all the pieces I can to break through the higher ranks. In order to do that, I need to first
put cracks into the superhuman society."
He said while taking a sip of his drink.
Shigaraki: "The Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains. It doesn't matter
if those guys succeed or fail. Just the fact that they are there will scare the heroes."
Kurogiri: "Are they just sacrificial pawns?"
Tomura Shigaraki: "Don't be ridiculous. Do I look that heartless?"
Kurogiri POV: "Yes."
Tomura Shigaraki: "Their strength is real. Even though they're all facing different directions, they're comrades I can count on. In a society bound by rules, we're not the only ones being oppressed." He said as he held a picture of Bakugo in his hand.
Meanwhile. A few minutes earlier.
Aizawa: "Vlad, I'm leaving this place to you. I'll go protect the other students!" He said as he left the class and ran through the hallways to leave outside.
Aizawa POV: "If it's a full-scale attack... then we're in big trouble."
Dabi: "Letting your worry get ahead of you, Eraser?"
Aizawa: "Vla--"
Dabi blasts him with a large-scale flame attack at point blank range. Fortunately, Eraser Head manages to dodge Dabi's fire attack by using his scarf to pull himself near the top of the building.
Dabi: "Well, I guess you are a pro, after all."
To his Suprise, Aizawa evaded Dabi's fire attack and erased his quirk as he tried to fire at him.
Aizawa: "Nothing's gonna come out."
Aizawa wraps him in the Capturing Weapon. He pulls Dabi up and meets him in mid-air before kneeing the villain in the face. Aizawa flips Dabi around and pins him to the ground face first.
Aizawa: "Tell me your purpose, number, and positions."
Dabi: "Why?"
Aizawa: "Because otherwise this will happen." He said as he quickly broke his left arm by pulling it backward. "Your right arms next. Let's do this logically. If we get to your legs, it'll be annoying to transport you."
Dabi: "Are you in a hurry, Eraser?"
Dabi continues to be difficult, to which, Aizawa breaks his other arm as well. Suddenly a loud shock was sent throughout the forest which Aizawa noticed it coming from the mountain.
Aizawa: "What the—"
Iida: "Mr. Aizawa!" He shouted as him, Mineta, Ojiro and Koda looked breathless from all the running.
Aizawa: "You guys!"
Dabi capitalizes on the distraction and gets free from the hero while being injured.
Dabi POV: "This is about as much damage as I can take, huh?"
Dabi: "As expected of a U.A. teacher. Ehh, Hero?"
Aizawa tries to pull him in using the restraining bonds, but they slip right through as Dabi's body turns to mud.
Dabi: "Are your students important?"
Aizawa POV: "That fire earlier wasn't his Quirk?!" He thought in shock.
Dabi: "I hope you can protect them all till the end. Have fun with my friend over here. See ya later, Eraser."
Aizawa POV: "Huh? What friend." He thought as he turned towards his right to see a figure coming out the woods towards him.
Sonic: "Would you look at that? The pro hero Eraser head."
Aizawa: "I've heard about you. The wanted Criminal on 24 Hero agency HQ and the hero association."
Sonic: "Guess I'm a figure now." He said with a smirk.
Aizawa: "What do you want here?" he said with his gaurd up.
Sonic: "Just here to have some fun, Eraser Head. The League promised me a good chunk of money."
Iida: "Mr. Aizawa, what should we do?"
Aizawa: "Get back inside the building. I'll handle him."
Sonic dashed forward, his speed creating a blur. Aizawa barely managed to activate his Quirk in time, nullifying Sonic's momentum. However, Sonic's reflexes were exceptional, allowing him to pivot and strike with a swift kick. Aizawa blocked it with his arm, but the force pushed him back.
Aizawa: "You're fast, but I've dealt with speedsters before."
Sonic smirked, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Sonic: "Oh, Eraser Head, you have no idea what you're up against."
Sonic lunged again, his movements unpredictable. Aizawa used his Capturing Weapon to try and bind Sonic, but Sonic was too quick, weaving through the restraints. Aizawa realized he needed to change tactics.
Sonic: "Aren't you a responsible teacher? Letting your students run away while you face a Demon level threat." He said with a smirk.
Aizawa: "My job is to protect them. And if that means dealing with you alone, so be it."
Sonic laughed, the sound echoing through the forest. He darted around Aizawa, testing his defenses, looking for a weakness. Aizawa kept his eyes trained on him, his Quirk ready to erase Sonic's speed again.
Suddenly, Sonic vanished from sight, reappearing behind Aizawa with a knife aimed at his back. Aizawa twisted just in time, catching Sonic's wrist and flipping him over his shoulder. Sonic landed on his feet, his grin never faltering.
Sonic: "You're good, Eraser Head. But can you keep up?"
Aizawa POV: "Tchhh... I was lucky enough to even do that. I'll have to call for back up.
The two clashed repeatedly, Aizawa's Quirk giving him a slight edge, but Sonic's relentless speed and agility made it difficult to land a decisive blow. Just when it seemed like the fight might reach a stalemate, Sonic's movements became even more erratic, pushing Aizawa to his limits.
Aizawa: "You're persistent. I'll give you that."
Sonic: "Thanks, but I'm just getting started."
In a burst of speed, Sonic closed the distance, slashing at Aizawa with his knife. Aizawa blocked with his Capturing Weapon, wrapping it around Sonic's arm and yanking him forward. He delivered a powerful knee to Sonic's stomach, sending him flying back.
Sonic hit the ground hard, coughing but still managing to smirk.
Sonic: "Not bad, but I've had worse."
Sonic disappeared from sight, moving faster than Aizawa could track. Aizawa felt a sharp pain in his side as Sonic's kunai sliced through his uniform, drawing blood. Aizawa gritted his teeth, trying to stay focused, but Sonic's relentless attacks were wearing him down.
Aizawa: "Tch... I need to find an opening."
Sonic: "You're slowing down, Eraser Head. Is that all you've got?"
Aizawa lashed out with his Capturing Weapon, but Sonic dodged effortlessly, landing another series of strikes that left Aizawa reeling. Aizawa's vision blurred, his body struggling to keep up with Sonic's relentless speed.
Aizawa: "Damn it..."
Sonic: "It's over, Eraser Head."
With a final, blindingly fast strike, Sonic delivered a powerful kick to Aizawa's chest, sending him crashing into a tree. Aizawa hit the ground hard, gasping for breath, his body battered and bruised.
Sonic: "You fought well, but you're no match for me."
Aizawa struggled to stand, his vision swimming. He knew he couldn't win this fight, but he had to buy time for back up to come.
Aizawa: "You... won't get away with this."
Sonic: "Oh, I think I will. But don't worry, I won't kill you. Yet." he said as he walked towards the forest, leaving aizawa injured but counsious and alive.
Aizawa: "need to... get... to the students..." he said as he tried to get up and run while being injured.
Meanwhile
Twice: "That's no good, Dabi! You were beaten! So weak! You small fry or something?"
Dabi : Already? I'm pretty weak.
Twice: "Huh? That's ridiculous. Don't be hasty. You're strong." His other personality said. "You should think of this as the pro being very strong."
Dabi: "Make another one of me, Twice. We need something to keep the pros from leaving. But I still think Sonic took care of him.
Twice: "It doesn't matter how many times a small fry goes in! Leave it to me!"
Meanwhile
Izumi was running out of the mountains with kota on her back. She was fine apart from the fact that Izuku kicked her to the rocks.
Izumi: "We're almost there!"
Kota: "Hey look!" he said as he pointed at Aizawa.
Izumi noticed Aizawa running while being heavily injured so she called apon him to get his attention.
Izumi: "Mr. Aizawa!"
Aizawa: "Yagi...!"
Izumi: "Mr. Aizawa... I'm glad... It's terrible! There are a ton of things I need to tell you. Wait, What happened to you sir!!" she said pointing at his injured arms, face, ripped clothes, bloody cuts around him.
Aizawa: "There was a villain i had to fight off, a demon level threat."
Izumi: "That's bad news sir... My brother is also here. They also want to kidnap Kacchan!"
Aizawa: "Tchhh... I called for back up, they should arrive at any minute now, so go back to the camp with Kota."
Izumi: "Mr Aizawa, are you sure you'll be fine sir?!" she asked with a worried expression.
Aizawa: "Yes! Okay... Heres what i need you to do, tell Mandalay, the students can use their quirks to protect themselves once you dropped kota at the camp. You hear me!" he said as izumi nodded and ran off.
Meanwhile
???: "You sure there is villains over here?" A man in a dog costume said.
???: "yeah... Aizawa told me while we were on the call." a woman with rabbit ears replied.
Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise near them. As the dust cleared, it revealed the person.
???: "Seems like that jackass hero hunter might be here."
