AN:

Wow, it has been too long. Originally I was planning on saying sorry and that there was no excuse, but honestly, you all deserve some kind of explanation. Now, I want to first make it clear that I love all the stories I'm writing, but this one in particular blew up far more than I was expecting, and it was a bit overwhelming… I ended up basically forcing myself into writing sessions, and that isn't what I enjoy, writing is supposed to be something I love doing, not a chore. Now, to fix this, I placed all the suggestions from the previous chapter onto my list, but from this point forward, I am only going to add the ideas that sound fun to write on the list, you all are more than welcome to keep commenting ideas, I just do not guarantee they will be in the final draft after this. Also, each of these were supposed to be short little one offs… but I was so excited to make this one, I accidentally made it roughly as long as the previous three chapters combined… I however, I am super excited to see what you all think, so please let me know and enjoy the chapter!


Chapter 4:

"The hell is wrong with all of you?!" Bakugou roared, agitated by the stale, dreary air.

"You may not care about Deku, but some of us do!" Uraraka growled, glaring at the blond boy as the rest of her classmates slowly broke out of their stupor after watching their friend die multiple times.

"Enough, both of you!" Aizawa firmly stated as he activated his quirk to glare at his students, cutting off Bakugou's reply.

"Let's… start the next one…" Iida sighed as he laid a comforting hand on the brown haired girl's shoulder.

"Good idea!" Hizashi cheered with his usual smile before turning to the screen "Play universe!"

'Realm display function engaged, preparing universe D2FLSG1332-IM-VS-S. Visual loading… Audio loading…'

"Aw… I wanted to do that…" Kaminari sighed as he missed his chance.

"You can get the next one." Aizawa sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose as the screen began showing images.


"Looks like we're all done and dusted here, kiddos." Izuku chuckled as he walked through a round doorway and towards a railing. The green haired man appeared younger than his previous two counter parts, but was still older than the original. This Midoriya wore padded blue armor under a tattered and damaged brownish, gray cape, a metal horn pushing the hood of the cape up as it was attached to a helmet that covered the majority of his green hair. Izuku brushed his hands together as he leaned over the railing, watching lights flip on to illuminate hundreds of levels of cells below. "Ramen's on me!"


"Why is he wearing that?" Toru laughed with her fellow students as they say the horn on Midoriya's head.

"Perhaps… it is some sort of war symbol?" Yaoyorozu suggested as she struggled to keep herself composed "Like how ancient tribes wore feathered crowns?"

"I take it this one is a lot more light hearted?" Yawara Chatora, the Hero Tiger l said in a gruff tone.

"Forget what he's wearing and focus on where he is." Aizawa sighed, his eyes not leaving the screen.

"Aw, but I have a new horn buddy…" Mina giggled as she pictured their Izuku wearing plastic horns.

"It looks like some kind of prison… but what's with the destruction and embers…" Mirio thought aloud as he rubbed his chin, smiling slightly as Eri giggled with the class.

"Was it attacked?" Uraraka asked as she sobered up from her laughter, noticing the details her upper classman pointed out.


"Looking pretty good down here…" a woman with blue skin, red hair and an eye patch said as her floor lit up, dozens of floors beneath Izuku "…Just gotta check one last thing…"

The red haired woman quickly walked over to a door that was sealed shut and moved to a three prong device on the side of the door. Turning the triangular device 90 degrees to the right, red light glowed behind the prongs and the door began to open, spewing out mist as she drew her pistol and stood in front of it. The woman's singular blue eye seemed to glow through the mist as she walked forward, quickly taking out a flash light as she approached open containment pods, checking inside each of them.

"No… no… no… no!" the woman growled in a panicked tone as she reached the final, and largest, pod and found it empty "Izuku… he's gone! This isn't a prison riot, it's a prison break!"


"So it is a prison…" Aizawa said narrowing his eyes as narrowed.

"Yes, but more importantly, that appears to be some form of high containment unit and if they really escaped…" Nezu stared cheerfully, only to devolve into a sober, serious tone.

"Then something really bad is loose…" Midnight finished with a sigh as she closed her eyes in exasperation.


"The air lock on deck zero! It's the only way out this far down!" Izuku heard the woman's voice through their communicators as he jumped away from the edge in surprise, slowly turning to the mess of flames and wires that held up the platform he was standing on "They're going to escape!"

"Not if I get there first…" Midoriya said to himself as he climbed up the chamber, getting closer to the cables. Once the caped man was standing next to the burning wires he drew a black and white revolver, with the spade symbol painted on, and closed one eye as he took aim.


"Wait… he's not going to…?" Momo began, her eyes widening in realization.

"You're kidding right!?" Pixie-Bob screamed in disbelief as she put the pieces together as well "You couldn't even see the bottom when it was lit up."

"Are all of them this reckless?" Aizawa sighed, knowing what was coming next.


The blue skinned woman ran out into the center chamber, only to be met with the sound of distant gun fire "Izuku?"

The woman ran the woman ran to the edge, looking up as the platform Izuku had been standing on lost its support and began to fall into the depths below. As if in slow motion as the platform pass the one eyed woman, she saw Izuku, holding a single wire as he rode to debris down, waving his revolver at her as he passed. The flaming husk dropping quickly into the depths where it landed with a fiery explosion the illuminated the darkness.

"Izuku!" the woman yelled as she pushed off of the railing and ran away.


"Holy shit!" Sero exclaimed, only to be smacked in the head by Tsuyu, whom nodded towards the children.

"Is he actually insane?" Tiger asked in shock, as a large drop of sweat formed on his forehead.

"I… I think we need to wrap our Midoriya in bubble wrap or something…" Toru nervously chuckled as she thought of the green haired boy in a cocoon for his own protection.

"That… is manly as hell!" Kirishima shouted as his eyes filled with stars in his eyes.


A strange red and white device spun above a piece of concrete, emitting a strange, pale blue energy. With a final pulse the device shrunk into a drone like form as the blue energy sunk through the rubble below. With a grunt, Izuku shoved the slab of concrete off of him as the blue energy flowed into his body, closing the last remnants of injuries on the green haired man's body, leaving him completely healed.

"… Never felt better… ah…" Izuku groaned as he rubbed his head and rolled his neck, not bothering to look at the burning remains of the landscape as he held out his hand and allowed the drone to hover over it before the machine turned into the mysterious energy and sunk into him.


"Where did that thing come from?!" Kaminari shouted in confusion.

"It appears to be able to heal him…" Cementoss said in a gravely tone as he rubbed his chin.

"Apparently…" Midnight agreed as she narrowed her eyes at the screen "… and if he has that thing at his disposal, it would explain why he was so quick to do something so reckless…"

"That device may be able to heal his injuries, even from a fall like that, but that doesn't mean he should be so reliant on it…" Aizawa argued, groaning internally that his student was receiving more of a reason to risk his own life.

"Amazing! It's some sort of portable medical robot that is cable of transforming itself into pure energy and storing itself within the user!" Mei exclaimed as she watched the screen with heats in her eyes, bouncing in her seat "Oh, don't worry, baby, mama is gonna begin working on you as soon as she gets out of here!"

"Um, I don't think so, after this, you are going to be banned from the workshop for a long, long time…" Power Loader sighed, only for his words to fall on deaf ears.


"You see that, Petra?!" Izuku asked, picking up his revolver whilst standing up. After getting no answer Izuku asked again, "… Petra…? Guardian…? Must have knocked out the com relays with that spectacular landing…"


"Who's Petra?" Toru asked curiously.

"Probably that blue skinned chick?" Kaminari shrugged.

"And thanks to his stunt, his communications are out…" Aizawa sighed, already fearing the worst.

"That… can't be good…" Sero gulped, feeling worry building inside once more.


Looking up, Izuku saw a large humanoid creature wearing yellow with strange purple orbs strapped around its chest. Turning his gaze to the right, the green haired man spotted another creature but this one had purple flames spewing from its head. Then, the hooded man spotted another, and another, before the screen zoomed back to reveal five large humanoids standing on the ledge over him. Izuku turned to the group while sighing "And, cue the ominous music…"


"That's really not good!" Kaminari cried before being jabbed in the ear buy Jirou's earphone jack.

"No shit, Sherlock!" Kyoka seethed whilst glaring at the blond boy, the display going unnoticed by the other worried viewers.


"Okay, everybody, back in your cages!" Izuku chuckled as he held his hands up while the creatures readied their weapons. In response, the monster with a large metal symbol on its helmet raised its staff before slamming it back down, causing the crystal on the end to glow with a deep, blue energy.

"I said…"Midoriya growled, drawing his revolver with a spin as a swarm of smaller, yellow humanoids flooded out of the darkness "… 'Back in your cages'!"


"This is why you shouldn't do things recklessly." Aizawa grunted, rubbing the bridge of his nose "Now, he is surrounded by the enemy, outnumbered and with no way to call for back up."

"… I don't like where this is going…" Todoroki sighed in a monotone.


As the creatures closed in, attacking from all sides, Izuku casually shot the first one over his shoulder without turning around, causing an explosion of pale blue energy as the bullet collided into the monsters head. The hooded man spun quickly on his feet as he began moving forward, throwing a knife into another creature, killing it instantly. Finishing his spin, Midoriya shot another creature in the head before a forth, larger humanoid charged him from behind. Izuku effortlessly blocked the attack and let the creature push him backwards as he lined up his pistol with its throat, pulling the trigger and causing the creature to fall backwards, dead.


"Oh, this one's got style." Snipe chuckled as he admired the green hair man's accuracy.

"He's… just… killing them…" Mina gasped as the majority of her class stared at the screen with a mixture of shock and horror.

"It's either them or him…" Aizawa grunt, a cold, calculating gaze watching every movement on screen.

"Yeah, but… there has to be another way right?"Ochaco tried to arguing, almost looking for a reason to avoid watching the scene "I mean… Deku would never-."

"Miss Uraraka, Midoriya does not have the luxury to hold back." Nezu stated in an authoritarian tone "He isn't battling some random villain; these things were locked away for a reason and obviously have no arguments with killing him. Sometimes, one must put their own survival as their top priority…"

"…" the students didn't reply, merely letting their focus remain on the screen.


Quickly shooting another approaching creature, Izuku wasted no time in throwing a knife into the next opponent, killing it before the recently shot one hit the floor. Opening the chamber on his revolver, Midoriya spun the gun, letting the empty shells drop out before he stuffed a new set of bullets in and closed the weapon. The green haired man ducked under a swing from one of the humanoids, causing it to stumble forward as he stood up. Placing his left hand on the hammer of his revolver, Izuku quickly fired a shot it the stumbling monster before turning and shooting another two of the creatures, killing them before the green haired man fired on a red canister behind yet another creature. The canister erupted into a ball of fire, the force of the explosion taking the creature off its feet and flying towards Izuku, whom dodge it with a bow, causing the body to slam into another two creatures that were approaching from behind the man.


"Hell yeah, explosions for the win!" Bakugou cheered with a vicious grin.

"Holy shit, that was manly!" Kirishima grinned.

"… They aren't humans." Shoto said suddenly, a small hint of relief in his normal monotone voice.

"What are you talking about, Todoroki?" Yaoyorozu asked as she looked at the two tone boy with a raised eyebrow.

"Those… things Midoriya is fighting, they aren't humans." The son of Endeavor clarified.

"How can you be so sure?" Toru asked as she presumably looked at the teen.

"He's right. Those creatures physiology is too close to one another, yet too different from Midoriya's for them to be the same species. Midoriya is clearly human, which means they are not." Nezu confirmed and explained, the students nodded, the information was somehow making them feel better.


Izuku bowed slightly to the as the creatures fell, before calmly jumping over two more of the monsters that rushed his flank. More of the abominations swarmed to where the green hair man once stood, a burst of light propelled the man further into the air and onto a large piece of rubble. The rubble shook as Midoriya landed on it causing him to sway in order to regain his balance. The hooded man looked to his left and saw three more creatures already making his way over to him. Izuku pulled out a thin cylindrical device and with a click of a button he stuck the device to the side of a piece of debris, the hand held machine quickly emitting a thin, red beam of light. Midoriya shot two more of the creatures while walking away from the device, as they climbed up the side of the jagged metal, before he jump flipped to another pile as the original three creatures cross the red light, causing the machine to erupt into a massive explosion that consumed the upper portion of the platform.


"Well, he seems to be able to handle himself pretty well." Midnight commented, relief underlining her tones.

"He's getting lucky…" Aizawa said solemnly, briefly closing his eyes "and luck runs out…"


Izuku shot one of the creatures as it flew over head, the blast having forced him to slide down the ruble. Once the green haired man reached the ground once more he was quickly grabbed from behind by yet another of the four armed humanoids. The monster threw Midoriya towards a large piece of metal as the man yelped in surprise. Upon his impact, the hooded dropped his weapon as the metal shook and he fell along with it.

"Yup… that hurt…" Izuku groaned as readjusted the metal horn under his hood.


"Looks like those things are stronger than most humans…" Nezu said as he watched the creature casually throw a full grown adult.

"Guess it's a good thing that that is the first real hit he's taken than…" Pixie-Bob chuckled nervously, hoping to take the edge off of everyone's nerves.

"It doesn't matter if it's the first or not…" Tomoko Shiretoko, former Hero: Ragdoll sighed, her joyous tones still struggling to return after her encounter at the training camp "… he won't be able to take many more of those…"


The creature that had thrown Izuku ripped a jagged shard of metal from the burning pile as the green haired man picked up his revolver and began to rise to his feet. Midoriya looked towards the creature as it swung upwards, hit the man in his chest and sending him flying with another scream of surprise and pain. Izuku crashed into a fallen bridge, rolling down the structure's segments before he pulled out a knife and stabbed into the metal, stopping his descent just after reaching the final piece that was holding on by just a single coupling. Looking down, the hooded man saw another four creatures ready to attack once he hit the ground. Quickly making a decision, Midoriya shot the coupling and jumped off the bridge, distracting the creatures as the large piece of metal fell on them.


"Quick decision making, a useful trait to have." Aizawa grumbled as he stared at the screen with tired eyes.


"Sorry!" Izuku exclaimed as he jumped back to his feet and looked at the fallen creatures before he turned around with a shrug "Not sorry."


"He can keep his calm too!" Present Mic chuckled at the slight joke "That's pretty useful too, right, Shota?"

"Making jokes on a battlefield is irrational and distracting." The tried man sighed.


Izuku ran at the group of creatures, shooting one in the head as he got close and sliding under another as it leapt at him, shooting it in the head as well.


"So… manly…" Kirishima almost sobbed, covering his tears of joy with his forearm.

"He's well trained…" Snipe stated as he leaned forward slightly "Every move he's making is done with precision and accuracy."

"Indeed" Nezu giggled with a nod "but against over whelming numbers, even the best training has its limits…"


Pushing himself back to his feet, Izuku slashed his knife across one of the approaching monsters before he shot another one. Midoriya clashed with a third as the screen pulled back, showing the larger humanoids still standing above the green haired man, watching. One of the creatures readied its weapon as it stepped back and away from the group.


"Why haven't they joined in yet?" Mina asked in confusion and worry, not liking that Izuku had yet to even begin on the biggest threats.

"They're letting him tire himself out first…"Momo whispered in a horrified tone as she realized the plan for this alternate version.


Izuku punched one of the creatures away before another attacked him from behind, hitting the green haired man with enough force to send him flying into a piece of metal, which flipped with him and hit another creature. Midoriya landed in a crouched position shooting another humanoid as he caught the plank of metal with his other arm. Another creature ran into the plank, over turning it as Izuku stepped along with it, emerging from under that metal and shooting another creature in the head. The blue energy left from the shot quickly dissipated, revealing a large horde already charging the green eyed man.


"Is there no end to these things?!" Kaminari exclaimed as he ran a hand through his hair in frustration.

"At least he's handling himself better than you did at USJ…" Jirou snickered as she pointed her ear jack at the blond boy.

"… Now, why'd you have to bring that up…" the electric user sighed as he dropped his head in defeat and shame.


Izuku looked at the approaching group and shook his head slightly before he turned to run. The larger humanoid that left the group began to climb a wall as Midoriya ran by, weaving through more of the creatures. The hooded man shot one of the monstrosities as he ran by, more easily taking its place. The green haired man shot another as he reached a small pile of rubble. Izuku jumped off the pile, his revolver beginning to glow orange with a bright light of power. The orange light quickly coated Izuku, illuminating the swarm behind him as he turned around in the air and took aim with his burning, golden weapon.


"That must be this Midoriya's power!" Toru exclaimed as she bounced in her seat with excitement and anticipation.

"That looks so cool!" Sero cheered as he watched the golden energy dancing around the man like flames.

"Oui…" Aoyama agreed as he rested a hand under his chin "but it does not sparkle like moi!"

"But what does it do?" Yaoyorozu asked as she gently laid a hand across her chest.

"It seems to be some kind of energy that he can channel through his gun." Snipe analyzed as he watched the strange energy.

"If you'd all shut the hell up we're about to find out." Bakugou growled as he rolled his eyes, laying his chin on the palms of his hands.


"No!" Izuku exclaimed as another creature tackled him through the air, the orange energy dissipating as they flew before they hit the ground.


"Oh, for fuck's sake!" Katsuki roared in frustration, ignoring Iida's horrified gasp.

"Seems like those thing aren't as mindless as the look…" Midnight almost hissed as she winced at the impact the man took.

"Things are going downhill fast…" Hizashi said in a trembling voice, biting his nails.

"But, he has backup coming, right? At least that red haired girl?" Yaoyorozu asked hopeful, looking at her homeroom teacher as she desperately tried to find any hope in this situation.

"Who knows how long it would take her to arrive…" Aizawa sadly stated, closing his eyes.


The large creature that had separated from the group dropped from an overhanging post, wrapping its legs around the metal causing it to hang upside down. The creature ready its rifle once again as another of the average sized creatures approached the still downed Izuku. Midoriya began to stand up, aiming his gun at the first creature, only for it to knock the weapon out of his hand with an upward swing. As the revolver slid across the floor, the green haired man was forced to jump away as the creature slammed down on where he once was shattering the ground.


"What's he gonna do now?" Mineta asked as he watched one of the people he respected most as they were struggling to survive.

"He needs to get his weapon back, without it…." Iida said as he attempted to hold a serious and flat tone, fear and worry bubbling within for his friend.


Izuku crashed to the ground and through a thin layer of dust he spotted his revolver a few feet away. Quickly the hooded man leapt for the weapon, only for one of the creatures to grab him by his cape and yanked him away. The screen showed the large creature's sights as it looked through its scope and watched Izuku be thrown into the arms of another creature. The creature used all of its might as it shoved Midoriya head first into a wall of jagged metal, blood and flesh ripping from his face as his head bounced off of the hard surface.


"Oh, god…" Yaoyorozu gasped in terror as tears weld up in her eyes and her hands covered her mouth.

"This is… horrible…" Mina choked out as her pink skin turned pale, her eyes also swimming with tears.

"Damn it, Deku…"Bakugou growled as he glared at the screen, sparks jetting from his palms "Don't you dare lose to these extras…"


Izuku dropped to the ground, rolling onto his back as the monstrosities began to surround him. Grunts of pain rang through the air as the creature began to kick and stomp on the downed man, animalistic growls following each blow.


"This isn't right…" Kirishima seethed through grinding teeth, his fingers digging painfully into his leg "he doesn't even have a way to defend himself…"

"I don't think they care about that." Todoroki stated in a monotone voice, his heterochromatic eyes glaring at the creatures as embers danced in the air around his left side.


Suddenly, Izuku shot into the air, covered in an orange glow. The green haired man swung his arms out, a plethora of golden knives manifesting and shooting into the creatures. The horde of monsters dropped to the ground, slowly turning into burning ash as Izuku landed on his feet, blood dripping onto the metal floor.

"That's it…" Izuku growled as he walked over and picked up his revolver "Now, I'm pissed!"


"Fuck yeah!" Kaminari cheered as the children's eyes and ears were already being covered by the nearby adults.

"So, that orange light is some kind of fire ability?" Momo asked, gently laying a hand on her chest as relief filled her body.

"Kinda like Todoroki's?" Toru asked, her body swiveling to look at the two colored boy.

"His is stronger…" Shoto said, earning a few confused looks "He was able to completely disintegrate all of them with one hit each and caused far less damage to his surroundings… I may be able to produce more fire, but mine isn't that hot, and I don't have as much control…"

"Don't celebrate too early he has yet to begin on the larger threats…" Aizawa sighed, shaking his head as his class lost themselves to their emotions.

"Can't you let them be happy that their friend is still alive?" Midnight hushed the tired man, gently smacking his arm.


"Gah!" Izuku gasped as a final creature tackled him from the side and pinned him to a wall.


"How many more of those things are there?!" Mineta screeched as e curled up in his seat, his fellow students quickly going quiet.

"They just keep coming…" Toru mumbled in shock as she watched the man on the screen struggle.


Blood dripped from the green haired man's face, onto the monsters yellow helmet as he struggled to move. Midoriya slowly began to turn his revolver, inciting a roar from the creature as it pushed it back once again. Turn his head to his left, Izuku noticed that his arm was still free and quickly grabbed the creatures shoulder before pulling it closer as he threw his head forwards, the metal spike he wore piercing through the helmet and causing it to fall limp.


"… Suddenly that horn doesn't seem so funny…" Kaminari said quietly, earning a few nods of agreement, as he and the others watched Izuku kill the last creature.

"Take this as a lesson…" Aizawa groaned, snapping his students out of their stupor "Even if something doesn't look dangerous, anything can be if used correctly."

"… I wonder if mine can do that…" Mina asked herself softly as she gently rubbed the horns on her head.


Izuku leaned back into wall as his horn slid out of the creature's skull. With a grunt, Midoriya began to limp through the battlefield littered with corpses and ash towards where the larger creatures continued to watch him from above. "Is that really… all you've got?" Izuku shouted between pants, his body injured and struggling to move as his jaw showed signs of being fractured as his words were slightly distorted.


"Looks like that was the last of the small fries…" Snipe said as he watched the screen intently.

"But now he has a much larger problem to deal with…" Cementoss replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Was that meant to be a pun?" Present Mic asked as he turned his attention from the screen to his fellow teacher.

"Is taunting them really a good idea?" Mandalay interrupted, as she watched the screen with worry.

"I don't think anything he does is a 'good idea'." Aizawa answered as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.


The screen showed the sniper scope focused on Izuku's wobbling form as he came to a standstill, the rifle charging with purple energy.

"Help me out here little buddy…" Midoriya mumbled as he lifted his left hand and released the blue energy that reformed into the small drone from early.


"I completely forgot about that thing!" Sero exclaimed as he bounced with joy, smiling broadly.

"Ha! Doesn't matter how much damage they do to him, that little machine can just fix it all!" Kirishima laughed as a grin split across his face "So Manly!"

"But why has that creature taken a shot yet? It's had Midoriya in its sights for a while now…" Momo asked herself as she gently rubbed her chin before her eyes widened with horror and realization "Unless…!"


Once the drone materialized the scope quickly moved onto it, wasting no time in firing the purple energy. The blast pierced clean through its target, shattering the machine and causing a pulse of blue energy to explode through the area, covering everything in a blinding light.


"That's why you shouldn't rely so heavily on something like that…"Aizawa mumbled as he closed his eyes.

"What just happened?" Kaminari croaked out as he watched the screen in shock, his smiling melting off his face.

"That's what they were waiting for…" Yaoyorozu said as she once again felt fear grip her heart.

"What do you mean?" Mina asked as she turned to the taller girl.

"She's right…" Nezu said sadly, earning the attention of the students "They must have known Midoriya possessed that device, so they sent those creatures after him, not to kill him, but to draw it out so they could destroy it…"

"They knew all along…" Todoroki stated in his usual monotone voice "They were planning that from the very beginning…"

"It would seem so…" Nezu confirmed, his usual cheer smile now a grim and saddened husk.

"… That poor baby…" Mei mumbled, only to be ignored as the reality sunk into everyone present in the room.


Izuku pushed himself off the ground as the light disappeared and the final shards fell down, his hood blown down and blood still dripping from his face. Looking up, the green haired man was met with the sight of the larger creatures all jumping down into the pit with him. Izuku face hardened as he watched them slowly approach, one dragging a large, spiked metal ball connected to a chain creating sparks as it moved forwards. The towering monster lifted the ball, causing it to burst into flames as it walked in front of the rest.

"… I'm coming home…" Izuku said as he swallowed the lump growing in his throat and looked down at the revolver in his hand, turning it to show the spade symbol painted on the side "… Ace…"


"Who's Ace?" Toru asked as she presumably tilted her head.

"Ace was his son…"Snipe answered, his voice dry and emotionless.

"How do you know?" Aizawa asked as he raised an eyebrow at the western themed hero.

"I may not be as smart as you or Nezu, but I've been in enough battles to know that tone…" Snipe replied, taking off his hat and placing it in front of his chest in a silent prayer "… to know what it means…"


Izuku forced himself to stand up straight as he pulled his hood up once more. The green haired man raised his gun once more, his arm shaking as it struggled with its own weight as the tall creature began moving towards him at a faster rate, moving its arms back as it prepared to attack. Midoriya kept his eyes locked on the creature as it swung the burning ball forward, the roar of flames echoing through the air. Half of the hooded man's face was covered in an eerie orange glow as the rattling of chains over took the flames and the screen cut to black.


"Wh-why didn't he try to dodge?" Mina asked as she stared in shock and horror.

"He could barely walk, he couldn't have dodged if he wanted to…"Midnight answered, biting the inside of her cheek.

"…" The room remained silent no one knew what to say, what they could say.


With a thunderous boom, a silhouette came crashing through the darkness, revealing it to be the other side of a wall, with the large creature standing in the center of the hole, its ball and chain slowly coming to a stop at its side. The black and white revolver that belonged to this Izuku bounced onto the concrete floor, clanking across the ground before coming to a stop and the screen turned to static.


"He's not…" Uraraka choked as she bit back a sob in realization, he voice cracking as she struggled against a scream in her throat "He couldn't be…"

"We are watching major events… Not all of them will be victories…" Nezu said as he dropped his head and closed his eyes, unconsciously rubbing the scar across his right eye "… Not all of them will be pleasant…"
