Chapter 19:
(Okay, so I'm basically almost finished with Season One of the series, which is cool. The only arc I ever finished originally was the Training Camp Arc. Anyways, there's not much of a change in events here, but I hope you enjoy the chapter)
Toshinori walked ahead, seeing Ochaco and Mina crying tears of joy, "I couldn't shake the feeing that something had gone wrong when Aizawa and Thirteen didn't answer my calls. So, I hurried over, running into Young Iida on the way." He told the students.
Rikido, Hanta and Mezo were glad he finally made it. "He told me of the villainy at work here." He frowned as he explained, "I can't believe all of this went down while I was resting. I hate to think these children must be." He remembered Tenya explaining everything to him, and then saw Thirteen, "And how hard my colleagues had to fight in order to protect them." He concluded the only thing he could do now was make sure things would be okay. "That's my duty as the Symbol of Peace." He then shouted, "Have no fear, students." He ripped off his tie, not showing any smile, "Because I am here!"
Lucas looked at Toshinori, "He made it…" Lucas then looked over at Aizawa, and felt ashamed of himself.
Izuku looked at how All Might wasn't smiling, "He's here…All Might!" He said, Tomura stood up, "After all this waiting…The heroic piece of trash shows up."
Toshinori threw his jacked to the side, and the lesser villains became anxious. None of these guys have met him in person, not even expecting him to be so huge. All Might rushed in almost immediately and took them out with incredible celerity. He grabbed Aizawa, as he was unconscious. "I'm sorry, Aizawa. I should've been here." He said, Lucas felt more ashamed. "I was careless…I rushed in ahead, the one I said NOT to do…Still, I couldn't bare to see Sensei fight them alone…I didn't listen to him." He berated himself, "I got too emotional and let that be my judgement." All Might grabbed the other three, putting down Aizawa. "Wh-What just—" Lucas didn't realized he moved, "Everybody back to the entrance. And take Aizawa with you. He doesn't have much time." All Might said, "R-Right." Lucas went and lifted up Aizawa with his powers, Tsuyu said "Ribbit" and Izuku turned to his mentor, "You saved us, All Might." He said.
Shigaraki panted, as All Might knocked out one if his hands that were attached to him, "No, no, no, it wasn't supposed to go this way. He's still fast, Father." He said, picking up the hand, "But somehow he managed to hit me." He sighed, realized he wasn't prepared, that a government hero relies on violence. "I couldn't even see him when he moved, but he's not as fast as I thought he would be. Not as fast as he used to be. I guess it's true after all," he grinned underneath his mask, "All Might really is getting weaker.
Izuku remembered the Nomu has some sort of resistance to One For All's ability in strength, "All Might, you can't! That brain villain took One For—I-I smashed him and didn't break my arm this time, but he wasn't fazed at all." He warned him that the villain was too strong. "Young Midoriya!" He turned to them, and gave them his smile. "I got this!" He said, giving a peace sign. Izuku looked hesitant to leave, but decided it was better that they did.
The three students left for the entrance. All Might went in for a Carolina Smash, but it wasn't effective. He tried to throw a few punches, but still the Nomu resisted it. It screeched at him.
"Doesn't even matter where I punch you, does it?" He asked, "That's because Nomu here has shock absorption, All Might. The only way you're going to hurt him is to slowly gouge out his flesh." Shigaraki explained, basically saying he can't take him down normally.
"Of course, I don't think he'll sit back and let you do that. You've finally met your match." All Might continued to fight, "Thanks for telling me how to beat him. All I have to do is wear him down, then it's onto you."He grabbed Nomu from behind, and slammed from behind.
"Once we get to the entrance, I need to heal the injuries." Lucas said, "Are you sure? You tried to heal Midoriya's injuries before, you could get hurt badly trying to fix up Mr. Aizawa." Tsuyu asked, "I'm willing to take that risk. Besides, I didn't listen to Sensei. I need to make this right." Lucas said, believing himself to be the blame.
Izuku had his focus, "It's possible they have a way to kill him. But even if they do, there's not really anything we can do to help him now." He said, worried about All Might. "If we tried to, we'd risk getting taken hostage." Izuku pushed all his thoughts away and decided to trust that All Might will be able to handle this.
"Maybe we were worried about these bad guys for nothing, All Might's unstoppable." Tsuyu said, Izuku remembered when he read the morning news and saw all the headlines about All Might and recalled when Thirteen and Aizawa were talking about why he didn't show up.
"He must've been absent because he'd used too much of his power! He shouldn't be using One For All now!" Izuku then recalled everything he knew and learned from All Might. The stuff he went through that now limited his ability, he saw everyone else cheering him on, believing he's got this.
But as the smoke cleared, they saw that fhe Nomu snuck in for an attack, with Kurogiri backing him up. All Might grunted in pain, realizing the monster found his weak spot. Tomura kept mocking him for how he tried to stop him.
"If this is your best, you picked the wrong place to attack. You should just give up now." All Might said, Shigaraki panted again, and scratched his neck, "Kurogiri." The villain said, the Nomu tried to pull him in. Kurogiri planned to shut the warp off as soon All Might was halfway through it. "Asui, Lucas." Izuku said, "Yeah, what is it, Midoriya?" Tsuyu asked, "You two try to go on without me." Lucas looked at his friend, "Izuku, wait!"
Izuku already started running, Lucas just took a deep breath of fear, "Tsu, we should go back. I don't wanna leave Izuku, but we need to get Mr. Aizawa back to the entrance." Lucas said. As soon as he fixes up Aizawa as best he can, he'll go back for his friend. He hopes, at least, the pros will get here on time.
Izuku ran, out of all things. He won't let All Might die, he won't, there's so many things the pro has yet to teach his protege, and he won't let things end like this! "I'm coming!" All Might looked at him, "Midoriya, no! What are you doing?!" He tried to reach out for his mentor, "How foolish." Kurogiri said, trying to trap Izuku, but was interrupted by an explosion.
Katsuki landed a hit on the villain. "Get outta my way, Deku!" He shouted, taking down Kurogiri and putting him on the ground. Ice charged in and froze the Nomu. Shoto wasn't too far behind!
"One of your poorly trained thugs told me you're here because you think you can kill All Might." He said, only showing aggression in his voice. All Might realized Todoroki was precise on how he froze of the villain, he loosened the Nomu's grip and broke free. He flinched in pain, and Kirishima jumped up to attack Tomura. Eijirou missed,
"Come on, that was going to be cool." Katsuki grinned, "Guess I found your body that time, ya smoky prick!" He said.
"The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by delinquents like you." Shoto said.
"Kacchan! Everyone!" Izuku started tearing up, but then rubbed his eyes and showed his anger.
"Looks like they've got it for now." Lucas said, grunting through his pain, using his powers to mend Aizawa's injuries as they walk toward the entrance. "You need to let them handle it, we need to hurry." Tsuyu said, trying to get him to focus.
"R-Right." Aizawa started groaning, "He's gonna kill me when he regains consciousness." Lucas was already dreading the punishment.
"Hey! We're all up here!" Ochaco shouted from the entrance.
"Guys, Mr. Aizawa needs help!" Lucas said, from up by the entrance.
Ochaco, Rikido, Hanta, Mezo and Mina looked and saw that Aizawa was unconscious. Rikido and Ochaco ran to help them out.8
"Don't worry." Thirteen said, getting Mina's attention. "All Might will take care of this." Thirteen explained with limited breathing, "When the other teachers get here, it'll get dangerous." Thirteen told Mina to find someplace to hide.
(Back with Izuku)
Tomura looked around, brats had gotten the best of Nomu and Kurogiri. "Kurogiri, how could you let this brat get the best of you?" He asked, "You've gotten us into a real jam here."
Katsuki kept his smirk, "Heh, you got careless, you dumb villain. It wasn't hard to figure you out. Only certain parts of you turn into that smoking warp gate. You used that mist to hide your actual body, as a kind of distraction." He realized that's why they missed when he and Eijiro attacked him before. "But if you didn't have a body, you wouldn't be wearing this neck armor, right? You're not immune to physical attacks if they're well aimed." Kurogiri tried to move, but Katsuki used his Quirk.
"Don't move. You try anything funny, and I blow you up right now." He said, making a bugger death threat. Kirishima looked at him, "Oh, that doesn't sound very heroic."
Tomura was astonished by how two kids took down his two strongest men, but he won't let them make the League of Villains look like amateurs.
"Nomu." He called to the creature, which it was let out of the portal.
The Nomu lost both an arm and leg from the ice, the students look at it.
"How is that thing still moving?" Izuku asked, All Might looked at the student, "Stay back, everyone!" He shouted, the Nomu was regenerating his arm and leg.
"What is this? I thought you said his power was shock absorption." All Might said, "I didn't say that was his only Quirk. He also has super-regeneration." Tomura explained, "Nomu's been modified to take you on, even at 100% of your power."
Tomura had the Nomu go for Bakugo, trying to free Kurogiri.
All Might tried to move, but then realized the Nomu was fast as well.
Dust went into the air, Izuku felt an incredible force, push him down a bit, when got back up, the dust cleared. Kacchan was gone, but Nomu freed Kurogiri.
"Kacchan!" Izuku cried out, but then realized he was right there. "Kacchan? Whoa, that's awesome, you dodged him." Katsuki looked at Deku with shock, "Shut up, no I didn't, you stupid nerd." He said, passively. He then went into his thoughts, "That speed…I couldn't even see him coming."
"Then how'd you get over here?" Kirishima asked, the dust clear and a wall was destroyed.
Toshinori panted and coughed. But he managed to get Bakugo safely out of harm's way,
"These are kids, and you didn't hold back?" Toshinori asked.
Tomura walked up a little, "I had no chouce, he was threatening my companion." He said, "Besides, these kids are no angel. The plain-looking one?" He called out Midoriya, "He tried to kill me with a maxed-out punch." He explained, "What kind of "hero" does something like that? You think you can get away with being as violent as you want if you say it's for the sake of others." Tomura raised his hands up, "Well, you know what, All Might? That pisses me off. Why do people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic and others are villainous? Casting judgement as to what's "good" and what's "evil." You think you're the Symbol of Peace?" He laughed a bit, "You're just a government sponsored instrument of violence. And violence always breeds more violence. I'll make sure the world understands that once you're dead."
Toshinori just continued to frown, "You're nothing but a lunatic. Criminals like you, you always try and make your actions sound noble." He said, "But admit it, you're only doing this because you like it! Isn't that right?"
Tomura merely squinted his eyes, "He's got me figured out. "We've got them outnumbered." Shoto explained, "And Kacchan found the mist-guy's weakness." Izuku said, "These dudes may act really tough, but we can take 'em down now with All Might's help." They readied themselves.
"Don't attack." All Might said, "Get out of here." Shoto stood still, "You would've been in trouble earlier if it weren't for me, remember? You need our help." He said, "I thank you for your assistance, but this is different."
Shoto looked at him, as All Might prepared a fist. "It's gonna be all right. Just sit back and watch a pro at work." Izuku looked over, "But you're too hurt. You're bleeding. And you're almost out of ti-" Izuku stopped himself from revealing crucial information about All Might's time limit. Toshinori gave thumbs up.
"I have only a minute in this form. My power's declining than I thought it would." He tried to stay strong, "Let's clear this level and go home." Tomura said, having his cohorts go after All Might while. He handled the children. "Even so, I have to stop these villains…" Shigaraki went straigh for them, "Heads up, we're fighting after all." Eijirou said.
"Because I am…the world Symbol of Peace and Justice!"
Then, the Nomu and All Might struck each other, sending a huge gust of wind, sending everyone else flying.
"Weren't you listening?! One of his powers is shock absorption!" Tomura said, "Yeah? What about it?" Toshinori said, he was fighting the Nomu head on. With barrages of punches shot at each other, it sent a huge shockwave of wind.
All Might realized that he had shock absorption, not nullification. Meaning there was a limit to how much that creature could take.
"He's giving it his all, even though he's injured." Izuku thought, "Those punches aren't random punches, either. They're targeted, and every single one of them…is more than 100% of his power." The fight went beyond just the punched and went into the air.
"A real hero…will always find a way for justice to be served!" All Might said, grabbing the Nomu, spinning it around him and throwing it back to the ground!
As it tried to get up, he landed back on the ground. "Now for a lesson. You may have heard these words before. But I'll teach you what they really mean!" He visualized taking tons of colored energy and focusing into his punch. "Go beyond! Plus Ultra!" He shouted, sending the Nomu flying out of the USJ.
It shook the facility. Tokoyami and Koda were wondering what was going on from the Squall Zone, while Ojiro was still fighting some villains in the Fire Zone when he felt the shaking.
The kids that were by the entrance were astonished by the strength that was seen. Lucas realized they would still need recovery support, he did the best he could with Aizawa's injuries.
"Okay, he should stabilize momentarily. Tsu, would you mind apologizing to him for me?" Lucas asked, "About what?" Lucas started running back, "Whoa, wait, Lucas!" Tsuyu said.
The four by All Might's side were greater shocked, they had seen it more firsthand. Katsuki noted that's how you get to be a pro, Eijiro noted how strong he was, and Shoto believed he really was the best. Izuku looked over, "He did it…" He made it through, Toshinori was in a weakened state. Even going as far to say it would've took at leaves 5 blows, instead now taking 300. "Time's up. Gotta end this fast." He looked over, "You've been bested, villains. Surrender. We all want to get over this, quickly." He told them to stand down.
Tomura shook, "He cheated." Lifting up his hand in the last moment.
(Okay, boom. Had to get up pretty early to finish this one. Okay, so I think after the next one, I can write a chapter for Claus and how things are going on the Nowhere Islands. Just think of Fuel as the additional party member later. And there is someone as well, but he won't be as important. He is hated by Chuggaconroy(hint) Anyways, stay strong and awesome. I'll keep you guys in my prayers!)
