Chapter Summary: In this chapter for the U.S.J chapters, the final showdown begins as we see Izukun fights one the of Nomu and helps All Might to save the classes of Class 1-A and Class 1-B. This event will be the start of the major changes to come.
Disclaimer: For this chapter, like the last few, I'm basing the chapter on the story, Deku: The Sharingan Hero by MrAuthor18. I would once again like to thank MrAuthor18 for allowing me to use his chapters. In this chapter, you'll see a lot of MrAuthor18's work here. But to make sure this chapter isn't 100% like MrAuthor18's, I've edited it so that the layout of it is different and there's some extra staff added to the chapter.
Author's Note: I'm truly sorry for the last update, I was it was late, nearly five in the morning and I was half-asleep when I posted it. Until I got the reviews saying that it was the wrong chapter, I didn't realize that I posted the wrong chapter. So to those reviewers, thank you so much, here's the right one...
Chapter Ten…
(U.S.J - Part 5.)
Central Plaza:
Upon seeing Shigaraki's hand Izuku closed his eyes, he prayed for some sort of miracle as the hand got a few centimetres away from him. However, the hand never got to him as just then, Izuku heard a familiar voice, causing him to reopen his eyes.
"Get away from him!" A white blur kicked Shigaraki, sending her flying away.
"Ojiro, what are you doing here?!" Izuku asked, surprised to see her there.
"I came because I was worried. I couldn't let you fight the main villains alone, so once the others took Sensei Vlad, I immediately came back, and I'm glad I did." She explained as she took a good look at Izuku. Then with concern and worry she said, "Midoriya! You're hurt! You look terrible!"
After all, Izuku had two rods coming out through his chest, and his shoulder was bleeding and he was covered in bruises.
"There's no time to worry, help me quickly." Izuku weakly replied.
With concern and wanting to help her classmate, Ojiro used both of her hands to break the rods one by one. After that, Izuku breathed in and pulled out the bony rods from his chest.
"Aaghh! Don't worry, I'm fine." Izuku let out a grunt. That was a lie, but all things considered, it could have been much worse, so it was fine when it wasn't. He took a few heavy breaths to recover, "See that big Green monster over there."
"Yes, what about it?" asked the tailed girl.
"That monster has four quirks, from what I've seen." Izuku quirk warned Ojiro, "It has wings, Bone Regeneration, Bone Control and some kind of Bone Hardening I think."
"Do you have any plans to defeat him?" Ojiro asked.
"Sort of." Izuku told her, "You see, we have to break its bones, faster than it can regenerate them. I believe it must have some sort of limit after all. Only problem is that we also need to attack it as fast as we can, or it'll hurt us with its bones. Be careful because it has long range attacks too so follow my lead because it's hard to get close." Izuku explained his plan as he stood up again.
"Right." Ojiro responded. She knew it wasn't the best of plans, but with very little other options to use right now, it the the best plan that they had at hand.
"Another of these annoying kids are coming, but it doesn't matter now that my Nomu has gotten serious, they don't stand a chance." Tomura exclaimed with a hint of confidence. "Nomu kill them!"
Izuku started to run towards the Green Nomu, followed by Ojiro. His movements were now sloppy because of his injuries, but he had to push himself harder.
The Nomu started to shoot its bone spikes from its knees and fingers at them once again.
"To the right!" Izuku said, as he and Ojiro dodged the incoming attacks.
"Now to the left…! Now jump!" Izuku instructed as both teens charged at the monster.
However, just then, the Nomu began to focus its attacks on Ojiro, where it shot more bone spikes from its chest now, using its thoracic cage.
Ojiro froze in her place as she knew that there was no way she could dodge all of them. But Izuku quickly pushed her out of the way as he took some of the attack. He managed to dodge many of them, but some managed to graze him and Ojiro.
"Midoriya!" Ojiro cried out.
"I'm okay! We have to keep g-" Izuku was cut off as the Nomu delivered a powerful uppercut and sent him flying away.
"You bastard, how dare you?!" Ojiro shouted as she was enraged.
She aimed a punch at the Nomu, but the monster evaded the attack with a sidestep and moved around Ojiro. The Nomu then tried to hit her with its knee and impale her with the sharp piece of bone coming out of it.
However, before it could, Izuku landed a devastating kick to its head as it gritted its teeth, certainly from the pain. Ojiro decided to follow Izuku's attack and landed a solid hit to the Nomu's side. Both of their attacks managed to push it back.
Izuku then picked Ojiro and threw her towards the Nomu who was still stunned from the last attack. Once it did though, it was smacked by Ojiro's tail. However, it didn't do much damage as the monster tried to catch Ojiro, but was hit by a sudden pain. Once again, it was Izuku, who had retrieved his old staff and impaled the Nomu's chest, causing the Nomu to shriek in pain.
"That's payback for earlier." Izuku said in spite, but took the full brunt of a punch to the face and was knocked away.
Ojiro tried to punch the Nomu, but she too was smacked away.
Both teens quickly recovered, looked at each other and nodded as they began to run towards the Nomu again. Having enough, the Nomu flapped its wings and hovered above them as it began to shoot its sharp bone spikes again while the two teens ran side by side. They managed to evade each and every attack, however the numbers of spikes increased more.
Seeing this they both jumped and made a turn midair, placed their feet against each other and jumped, perfectly evading the attack. Each one of them then charged towards the Nomu from each side.
After that, the Nomu did a quick 180 degrees turn as it fired bone spikes at the two of them. Luckily though, both teens managed to jump in the air towards the Nomu, who had to regenerate its bones to resupply its ammo.
Izuku then did a front flip and delivered an axe kick to Nomu's back while Ojiro also did a front flip, but hit it with his tail.
"Manchester Smash!"
"Ojiro's Special: White Dragon!"
The combined attack was so powerful that the Nomu kissed the concrete. The creature then tried to stand up again, but was hardly able to do so as it stammered.
The two teens smirked at each other as they saw the Nomu's regeneration getting weaker.
"You brats are really persistent. Green Nomu, what are you doing?! Kill them!" Tomura ordered the Nomu.
"ROOAAAARR!" roared the monster.
Once its master's orders registered in its head, it charged at them and tried to cut them down with the claws coming out of its knuckles. Izuku ducked and slid between the monster's legs while Ojiro dodged by taking a step back. Seeing both of them preparing for an attack, the Nomu tried to use its thoracic cage to protect itself.
"Now Ojiro, let's finish this!" Izuku shouted.
"Alright, let's do this!" Ojiro smirked.
Both of them used their own attacks to attack, Izuku hit the monster from the back and whilst Ojiro hit it from the front. The power of these attacks was strong enough to break the villain's thoracic cage.
However, they were not done yet. Ojiro jumped and kicked the Nomu's head with a roundhouse kick, stunning him before Izuku pulled his fist back.
Meanwhile, the students who were watching from the Entrance were amazed by the coordination between the two teens, and the effort they're putting despite being severely injured. Their teamwork was nothing short of amazing, seeing how they only knew each other for a short while, as they were making quick work of the same monster who defeated their teacher earlier. Just showing the class how the different types of quirks can change the course of a fight. And now, they were witnessing the climax of this battle as Izuku was going to defeat that monster.
"Get him Izuku…" Itsuka murmured as she hoped that the male Quirk User would finally defeat that monster.
"Deku…" Ochako murmured too, worried about Izuku but hoping that he would win.
"-Do it Midoriya!"
"-Show him what you're made of!"
"-Finish the monster!"
The students at the Entrance shouted as they cheered for Izuku.
'They're counting on me! They're all counting on me!' Izuku thought as he mustered all of his strength. 'I can't fail them or else I won't be able to call myself a Hero!'
"GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!" Everyone shouted.
Resonating deep within him, the past wills and power of One for All echoed in his body, granting even more power within him, before he clenched his fist.
"Texas Smaaaaash!"
Izuku cried at the top of his lungs as blood came out of his injured shoulder and chest, but it didn't matter because, for the first time outside of All Might and his mother, he had everyone's support and he was going to defeat that Nomu no matter what and show the world what a male can really do, if given a chance. His fist hit the Nomu and sent it flying away with an explosive power!
Having no way to defend itself, the Nomu suffered severe internal damage, which was evident by the blood that came out of its mouth. It then hit the ground with a loud thud and laid there.
Silence filled the U.S.J for a moment. Everyone was anxious to know what happened, including Shigaraki and Kurogiri who were too shocked to see their Nomu defeated.
Izuku and Ojiro were taking heavy breaths as they were tired. However, they had to make sure that they had managed to defeat the Nomu. Both teens stood above the knocked down Nomu, unable to determine if they got the monster or not.
"Did we get him?" Ojiro asked.
"Yeah, I think so-"
However, Izuku panicked as he noticed the bones all over the Nomu's body coming out again.
"Ojiro jump!" Izuku shouted in distress before he and Ojiro jumped back.
At that moment, bone spikes shot out from all over his body at a great speed. Both teens tried to dodge them, but some of them hit them as there were too many. But thanks to his Sharingan, Izuku managed to catch one of the bone spikes. He pulled his arm back midair and threw it at the monster with all of his strength.
"RRRIIIIIII-!" The monster cried out as the bone spike impaled its throat. The creature began to make sudden moves as it struggled to breathe, but it eventually stopped moving at all.
"Midoriya-"
"Yes Ojiro, we did it. This time we won!" Izuku said with a smile.
Both of the teens believed that that last attack was probably a desperate one to try to kill them. One that would've left it vulnerable since it moulded all of its body's bones into spikes. It would've taken it some time to regenerate.
o0OoO0o
Unfortunately for our young heroes, they had forgotten about the other Nomu in their moment of victory. The Black Nomu appeared in a flash and grabbed the two of them before smashing them into the ground, creating cracks in the concrete. Shigaraki then approached the other Nomu and pulled out the bone spike out its throat and turned it to dust. Shortly after, the Green Nomu was breathing again.
"No way! We were so close!" Izuku said in frustration.
"But we did our best! Why? Why wasn't it enough?! How did we fail?!" Ojiro replied, she too was frustrated at her own weakness.
"Well, well, I have to say I am impressed." Shigaraki admitted bitterly, as she walked closer to Izuku, where she looked at the male and with a dark smile said, "You two are definitely excellent students. But playtime is over now. What you did to my Nomu really angered me and I'm not in a good mood today to be merciful." Shigaraki angrily said.
"If you think you've won then you're dead wrong. All Might will be here any second now and she will kick your ass." Izuku retaliated as he moved his head to look at Shigaraki despite the Nomu's grip.
"You! The All Might wannabe! You especially irritate me, thinking you can save everyone like her! Nomu torture the male bastard!" Tomura angrily shouted as she was pissed off by Izuku. She hated him now as much as All Might, if not more so. Who knew that a damn fucking male could all this. Sure, the Green Nomu was the first prototype, but still, it meant to be more powerful than a male. The scene she saw back then when everyone counted on him to defeat the Nomu and save them made her want to throw up.
Hearing its master's orders, the Nomu lifted Ojiro with one hand before it brought his foot down and stomped Izuku, crushing his ribs.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Izuku screamed loudly as he felt his ribs easily breaking like a stick. He was in a whole new world of pain.
"Midoriya!" "Deku!" Both Itsuka and Ochako shouted in distress worried about the Male Quirk User.
Seeing this, the students at the Entrance began to panic. They were terrified and they were losing hope. What was taking the Pros so long to get here?
Sato and Shoji prepared to enter the battle. They weren't going to let their classmate carry their burden anymore. However, they were stopped by someone.
"AAAHHH!" Izuku was yelling again, until Shigaraki raised her hand for the Nomu to stop.
"So, Midoriya. Do you still want to be a hero or will you give up?" Shigaraki taunted the male.
"Midoriya tell her no, please tell her no." Ojiro pleaded. She couldn't bear to see her classmate, no friend, suffer like that anymore. How could she not think of Izuku as a friend after what the two of them had just been through?
"I, I will be a… hero, and I'll make sure… to kick your ass… before putting you in jail." Izuku replied. His breaths were getting heavier, and blood was coming out of his nose. He could pass out at any moment now.
Shigaraki's eyes widened as she angrily glared at Izuku. "You insolent brat! I'll show you that you're no Hero!" She angrily shouted before she grabbed Ojiro's tail and activated her decay.
"Ojiro! NO!" Izuku shouted as his classmate riend yelled out in pain. His tail's skin and muscles were crumbling, and in a few moments, she would meet her demise as her whole body would turn to dust.
Izuku raised his injured arm and charged 100% of One for All in his finger. He was going to kill this bitch once and for all. Sure, a hero shouldn't kill if there were other options, but at this moment there weren't any. He won't let Ojiro die because of him!
One for All 100%!
"Del-"
Izuku stopped as he noticed that Shigaraki's decay was not working anymore. It suddenly just stopped.
"Eraser Head, ruining my fun again!" Shigaraki said as she looked behind her where she saw Aizawa. She was standing thanks to both Ochaco and Itsuka helping her. Her eyes were red, and his hair was floating, which meant that her Quirk was activated.
"Green Nomu, Black Nomu, let's go kill them before the heroes come. Kurogiri open the portal, we're going home soon." Tomura said as he and the Nomus went to kill the students and teachers. The Green Nomu had the time to fully heal itself by this point.
'No! I can't, I can't let them kill them. I have to do something… But I'm very weak… I might pass out at any moment now…' Izuku thought as he was ashamed of himself for not being able to do anything to help his classmates, 'Some successor I turned out to be… Can't even protect those who are close to me.'
But just then, he got an idea.
"Ojiro… can you stand?" Izuku asked in a very weak voice.
"I think I can manage, but I'm too tired to fight anymore and I am terribly wounded. What about you?" Ojiro weakly replied.
"I have one last special attack. I'm sure I can take out the leader of the villains with it. If I take her out, the Nomus will automatically stop, since they seem to only obey her." Izuku told the other young hero in training.
"Tell me your plan, Midoriya." Ojiro told the male.
Tomura was now approaching Aizawa and the girls, "First, I'll make you watch my Nomus kill your precious students, and then I will kill you myself Eraser."
"SHIGARAKI!"
Tomura looked behind her, and saw Izuku flying really fast towards her.
What the-?
o0OoO0o
A Few Seconds Earlier:
"I want you… to throw me with everything you've got towards… Shigaraki." Izuku said, completely serious about it.
"You want me to throw you with everything I got towards the leader?" Ojiro questioned, having second thoughts about this already.
"Yes, I'll use my strongest attack and take him out. Can you do it?" asked Izuku, this skill he was about to use was something he had just started to create before starting U.A. Whilst he got the basics of it down, he wasn't sure if this new skill would work. Even if his body wasn't so damaged, it was a hit and miss still and needed more work. But with how things were, he knew that there wasn't another option. He had to save his teacher.
"I can't, I don't have enough strength to do it. I won't be able to throw you that far." Ojiro informed her friend.
"What the fuck happened to you, Deku?" Izuku and Ojiro heard suddenly. As they turned round, they saw Bakugou and Kirishima running towards them, this was when Izuku realized that it was Bakugou that called out to them.
"Midoriya! You're hurt so badly, you need help!" Kirishima added. Both she and Bakugou were shocked to see Izuku in this terrible state. They both thought that with the quirk that he had, no one could hurt him badly.
This was what Bakugou was worried about. Whilst they slowly parted ways over the years, mainly because she thought she was better than Izuku because she had a quirk and he didn't, and seemed that through school she was better than him in classes. Not only that, but she knew that as a man he would be too weak and if he tried to become a hero, something like this would happen. This was why she disliked him so much, that he would keep trying to be a hero even though he knew that he could get killed easily and he didn't seem to care.
And she was right. She hated to see the person that she once called friend like this. Sure, he might have a quirk, a powerful at that, but still, he was no match for this boss. She needed to protect him, even if it was from himself.
"Kacchan?" Izuku was surprised to see Bakugou here. "I got defeated… by the villains. However, I have one last special move to take them out. I know you might hate this but can you help-" Izuku began, but was interrupted by Bakugou.
"I will." she told him. Yes she wanted to protect him, but at the same time, she wanted to show him how useless he truly was. That even if he now has a quirk, it doesn't mean he is meant to be a hero, that it was too dangerous and he should leave hero work to the females. They were born to be heroes, not men. For that to work, she needed to let him lose badly and step in to show that she was more powerful than him, and show how weak he was.
"Kacchan, I know that you want to defeat the villains by yourself to prove your- Wait you will?" Izuku asked in shock. He couldn't believe that Bakugou just agreed to team up with him to defeat the villains.
"Yes, now explain your plan before I change my mind."
'She's willing to cooperate with me if it means taking down the villains to save the others.' Izuku thought in shock, 'Maybe being at U.A is slowly changing her. Making her a better person. Even if she still has a bad personality.'
Izuku then explained his full plan to Bakugou before the latter picked him up.
"DON'T GET ME WRONG DEKU, I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR STRONGEST ATTACK, TO SEE IF YOU REALLY CAN BECOME A HERO! NOTHING ELSE. THAT AND THE FACT THAT MY TARGET IS THE WARP GATE, I WON'T LET THESE FUCKING VILLAINS GET AWAY SO EASILY!" Bakugou said. In reality though, sure she wanted him to fail, she also wanted to see if he really has what it takes to become a hero. She was conflicted about it all. But she was sure about one thing though, she wanted to help Izuku take care of the villains and save everyone, before anyone else gets hurt. Even if it meant helping the fool,
"Right, thank you Kacchan." Izuku thanked his childhood friend.
"DON'T THANK ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT…! JUST DIE!" She yelled as she used her strongest explosion to throw Izuku as far as she could.
"SHIGARAKI!" Izuku yelled, as he was flying so fast towards the villain.
o0OoO0o
Back To The Present:
'What the-? That annoying brat!' Tomura thought as she saw the male flying at her.
'This is it. This is my first ultimate attack. Now is just as good as any time to use it.' Izuku thought to himself as he got closer to Shigaraki. One For All 100%!
"Ultra Kick!" Izuku cried out. It wasn't the best of names for an ultimate attack, but seeing how he had only been training this skill for a short while, he didn't have a better name for it.
Izuku shouted as he used the full power of One For All in his leg. As he did, the green energy that normally came from using his quirk formed. To his shock though, the energy took the form of a green dragon that gave a mighty roar and engulfed his leg. Not having time to think about this, Izuku pulled back his leg before he kicked his target. This was all or nothing attack, whatever happens next, his leg would be broken and he would be out of the fight.
As the devastating kick made contact, it caused massive shockwaves through the entire U.S.J and broke every single window in the facility. The whole U.S.J was shaking like there was an earthquake, and the students who were close to the attack were knocked off their feet.
"What is this incredible power?!" Itsuka shouted as she tried to block the shockwaves with her hand, but was still getting pushed back. She and Ochaco had to do their best to shield Aizawa. Itsuka was awestruck at Izuku's incredible power, she never imagined that this male would be this strong.
"Idiot, he must have broken his bones." Aizawa said, as she shielded her eyes. She couldn't even open them.
"So much power!" Sato said as she also had trouble staying on her feet, along with the students who were at the main entrance.
Needless to say, everyone felt Izuku's immense power, heck even the scattered students, the villains, and Kurogiri did. The gusts of winds managed to push the Mist villain back, which made her unable to open a portal back to their hideout.
Bakugou was left utterly speechless by Izuku's attack and the destruction it caused. She was beyond shock, she didn't think that he could be this strong. As to her, even if he had a so-called powerful quirk, he was still a male and so was weak. But this? This just proved how wrong she was, and she hated this feeling. It was worse seeing how deep inside, her body was telling her to make him hers.
But at the same time, she looked at the monster that Deku defeated.
'Did Deku just kill the guy?' She thought as her eyes were wide open from the shock.
"He's so manly!" Kirishima cheered for the Male Quirk User.
"Did he get him?" Ojiro asked, hoping that her friend finally defeated the villains.
"I don't know, I can't see from the dust." Kirishima replied, trying to take a good look at the situation.
The whole U.S.J was silent, both villains, and heroes. Everyone was just waiting for the dust to clear, so that they could see the conclusion of the epic battle. Suddenly, Izuku's shadow became more visible. And it seems like he has managed to hit a target, but it wasn't the target everyone expected.
As the dust settled, everybody saw Izuku, his leg was broken, bruised and purplish, but it had managed to break the Green Nomu's neck and jaw completely. The Green Monster managed to save its master at the cost of its own life. They both fell on the ground. One was dead while the other was plain exhausted and incapacitated. Izuku's Sharingan faded as he reached his time limit, followed by him deactivating his Full Cowl too.
"At least, this… will make things ea-easier for… All Might." Izuku weakly muttered, his vision was becoming blurry as he was about to pass out in any second now.
Meanwhile, everyone was just trying to process what just happened as they were still amazed by Izuku's ultimate attack. After all, he managed to defeat one of those deadly beasts. The same one who took out Vlad Queen.
"You little brat! How?! How were you able to kill my Nomu?! After its bones were broken so many times, it should have been able to withstand a hit even from All Might, its Bone Regeneration Quirk has no limits, so how?! You! You little pest! How were you able to kill it?!" Shigaraki began her temper tantrum.
"I told you… told you I would break its b-bones until he could no longer regenerate." Izuku said weakly as he tried to smile at this, "All I had to do was deal a blow strong enough to kill it instantly… shattering its bones first, before landing the blow was a strategy, but it took too much time and in the end it failed… So, I had to improvise… and deal a powerful blow to snap its neck… That's its weakness… a fatal blow to a weak point, just like when the sharp bone spike impaled its throat…"
Izuku was happy that he made things easier for All Might now.
"Damn it! My Nomu was defeated by a little kid! A male no less!" Shigaraki angrily shouted.
"I already know that it's no longer human, so I'm glad I was able to save its poor soul that is being tormented by you…" Izuku murmured weakly. All he could think about right now was to think of the monster that he killed, as a monster. If he didn't he would break down from killing a person. Something a true hero should never do. "It was my target in the first place as I knew it was going to protect you… That and the fact that a hero shouldn't kill a villain, unless they had no other option, so I wasn't aiming to kill you in the first place."
Shigaraki then began to violently scratch her neck, until she regained her composure. "You know brat, the Green Nomu was just a prototype. In fact, it wasn't really the ace up my sleeve to kill All Might, it's the black one over here. But you! You piss me off so much, much like that stupid Symbol of Peace, and the fact that you managed to defeat a Nomu makes you a potential threat in the future. Black Nomu, kill him!"
The Black Nomu immediately grabbed Izuku and started to smash his head into the ground. It then started to punch him repeatedly, but Izuku had already lost his consciousness. His ribs and leg were broken, his face was all covered in blood and his nose was broken as well. Not to mention, he lost too much blood from the injuries he got in his shoulder and chest earlier.
"DEKU! DAMN IT!" Bakugou yelled as she tried to go save Izuku, but her path was blocked by Kurogiri.
"I'm afraid I can't let you pass." Kurogiri exclaimed as she blocked Bakugou, Kirishima, and Ojiro's path.
"FUCKING WARP GATE!" Bakugou cried out in anger as the bitch blocked her path.
"Deku!" "Izuku!" Both Ochaco and Itsuka respectively shouted as they were helping Aizawa stand to her feet.
"Damn it, if I wasn't so useless!" Aizawa said in frustration as she knew that there was nothing she could do to save her student. She was in a bad shape and she knew beforehand that trying to erase that monster's quirk was pointless.
"You see, Midoriya. You kept trying to save everyone, saying that you'll become a hero, but look at you now!" Tomura said while laughing like a maniac. "You're moments away from death! You couldn't even save yourself, you shitty brat. And no one will come to save you!"
However, her his laugh was interrupted by the sound of the entrance's door crashing, as a silhouette appeared and managed to put the students' hearts at ease. All this time, this place was only filled with the darkness of villainy and fear…
But the deeper the darkness… the more dazzling the light shines.
"ALL MIGHT!" The students shouted with a hint of relief.
'I had a bad feeling, so I tore myself away from my chat with the principal and came.' All Might thought as she entered the U.S.J. 'I passed Young Iida on my way and got a rough idea of what had happened. Good grief, it really makes me angry. Thinking about how frightening it must have been for the children… And how hard my juniors fought…'
As she thought this, All Might looked round at the sight of crying students, along with injured teachers and students. Her eyes focused on the unconscious Tetsutetsu and Shihai.
'But that is why I must proudly say -'thought to herself before crying out the last part aloud, "It's fine now! For now, I am here!"
All Might then looked at her almost dead Successor. She tore her tie as an angry expression covered her face. She wasn't smiling. Over the last year, All Might felt like Izuku was someone special to her. She wasn't sure what she was feeling, but seeing the young boy in such a state made her boil with rage.
She immediately rushed at the Nomu and in a second, punched it in the face with a loud BOOM, sending the monster flying back to the Central Plaza. This managed to send shivers down the villain's spines as they were once again reminded that they were standing in front of the Symbol of Peace. Even Tomura and Kurogiri flinched for a second. All Might then carried the limp body of her successor who began to open his eyes again.
"All… Might… I did my best… to protect e-everyone. I-I tried my… best to stall them… until you arrive." Izuku murmured before passing out again.
"It's okay Young Midoriya, you did a great job. I'm afraid that I'm the one who failed you." All Might murmured before giving Izuku to Sato and Shoji who carried him to the Main Entrance.
"A bit late, wouldn't you say All Might? I've been waiting for you all day, you trash of society!" Shigaraki greeted All Might, but was met with a back slap (bitch slap) from All Might, sending her to the Nomu who managed to catch its master. The hand that was hiding Shigaraki's face fell.
The other villains tried to attack her and overwhelm her with numbers, but she knocked out all of them without breaking a sweat.
"Sorry Aizawa…" All Might apologised. She couldn't bring herself to look at her fellow teacher because she was ashamed of herself. If she had been here, none of that would've ever happened.
"I was too weak to protect him, he's the one who protected us all. It should have been the other way around. A child should never bear the adults' responsibilities." Aizawa said with a hint of frustration. Hating that she couldn't do anything to protect the male and the other students, what kind of hero did that make her? To allow a child to fight an adults fight.
"You did your best Aizawa, now leave everything to me." All Might told the black haired feo.
"It's no good… It's no good… It's no good… I-I'm sorry, Master…" Shigaraki said as she was hiding her face with her own hand, until she grabbed the hand that was on her face and put it back again. "She hit me as she was saving them. It's the violence of a government official. She's fast, as expected. I can't follow her with my eyes. But not as fast as I thought she'd be. I guess it's true, after all… that she's getting weaker."
All Might couldn't make heads or tails as to what the villain was talking about. It was as if she had gone crazy or something. Whatever the case, she knew that she couldn't allow the villain to regain her bearings, so she ran towards Shigaraki ready to attack, "Carolina…"
"Nomu!" Shigaraki simply said, and the Nomu heeded to its master's call and went in front of her in a flash.
"…Smash!" All Might shouted as the attack landed on the Nomu but was unfazed by it, which shocked All Might.
"It wasn't affected at all?!" All Might said as she dodged an attack coming from the Nomu and punched it in the guts, but once again the monster was unfazed. It's like All Might's attacks weren't even working. "In that case-" All Might said as she punched the monster two times in the face before dodging another attack from the monster. "It doesn't work on his face either, huh?" All Might questioned as she kept punching the Nomu in its chest.
"It doesn't work because of shock absorption." smirked Shigaraki, before she pointed out. "In order to cause damage to Nomu, it would be most effective to slowly gouge out its flesh. Whether it lets you do that or not is a different issue, though. After all, it's the Anti-Symbol of Peace who exists only to kill you."
"Thanks for telling me all that! If that's true, then it's easier for me." All Might replied, as she grabbed the Nomu in a bear hug and bent her back backwards to smash the Nomu into the ground and immobilise it.
"All right! Take that! Those guys are underestimating All Might too much!" Sato cheered as she was carrying the unconscious Izuku.
Although he was unconscious, Izuku was able to hear and feel everything happening around him.
'I know we should leave things to All Might but… but I know she's at his limit.' Izuku thought to himself, worried for the Number 1 hero, 'Every day on my way to school, I read the Hero News in real time. The reason why she didn't attend the class today must be because she spent three hours in his Hero form. I'm the only one who knows… I'm the only one who knows All Might's secret and the predicament she's in.'
Unfortunately for All Might, when she was performing her last attack, Kurogiri opened a warp gate which teleported Nomu's upper body right under All Might's back. The former then held All Might with its monster hands by her sides, restraining the Number One Hero.
"Is, Is that how it is?" All Might grunted as the Nomu was piercing All Might's injured side with its claws and blood was starting to leak.
"SHIT! THAT FOGGY NOBODY MANAGED TO SLIP FROM ME, AND NOW SHE'S TEAMING UP WITH THE FREAK AGAINST ALL MIGHT!" Bakugou growled.
"Were you trying to keep it from moving by sticking it like that? Because Nomu is as strong as you are." Shigaraki exclaimed with a grin. "This is good, Kurogiri. It's an unexpected opportunity."
'Ouch! That's my weak spot! Stop it!' All Might yelped to herself in pain, as the Nomu was squeezing her injured side. She then tried to free herself from the Nomu's grasp, but it was no use. 'What power!' she thought to herself, astonished by the Nomu's pure strength.
"This is your first offence? You'd better prepare yourselves…" All Might said, trying her best to free herself from Nomu's claws.
"Kurogiri" Shigaraki simply called her subordinate.
"I do not want blood and guts overflowing within me, but I would be happy to take in someone as great as you. You are too fast to see with the human eye. Restraining you was Nomu's job. And then, when your body is halfway in, to close the gate… and tear you apart is my job." Kurogiri explained their plan.
"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ALL MIGHT!" Bakugou yelled and grabbed the metal piece hanging in Kurogiri's body before she pinned her down.
At that moment, the right half of Nomu was completely frozen too. It was Todoroki who finally appeared.
"Young Bakugou? Young Todoroki?"
"All I heard was that you all are here to kill All Might." Todoroki said.
'She controlled it so that the ice stopped just before it reached me. Thanks to that, his grip loosened!' All Might thought to herself as she was starting to get out of Nomu's grip.
"A-A-Ah, careful there, Heroes." Shigaraki exclaimed as she held Ojiro. "Explosions brat, let my subordinate go, and you there, Ice brat don't interfere. You don't want me to kill your classmate here."
"YOU BASTARD!" Bakugou growled, she didn't know what to do. Should she try to save Ojiro or All Might?
"Young Bakugou, Young Todoroki! It's okay, stop interfering." All Might said.
"But we can't choose to save which life-" Todoroki protested, but was cut off.
"That's an order, you are still kids so back off." All Might ordered
"No! All Might!" Ojiro shouted. All she could think about as she watched the Nomu broke from Todoroki's ice and began to tighten her grip once again was if only she was stronger. If she was able to help Midoriya more. None of this would be happening. "No need to concern yourself about me, just do what you have to do, All Might!"
"Shut up for a moment." Shigaraki said as she held Ojiro by her throat with four fingers.
Bakugou let Kurogiri go like All Might ordered her to, still reluctant about this whole thing.
All Might began to yell out in agony as a lot of blood was coming out of her injured side.
Hearing this, many students began to cry, many were already losing hope. How could all of this happen during their first week at U.A? And was this really the end of All Might, the Symbol of Peace?
Meanwhile, Izuku's injured body was lying on the floor with the other injured students and teachers. He was trying to wake and or move, as he was able to hear All Might yelling from the pain and suffering, but he was just helpless and couldn't do anything.
'No… No, All Might! There are still tons of things I want you to teach me!' Izuku yelled in his mind as different memories of All Might were flashing in front of him.
Memories of All Might teaching to become a hero, telling him that even though he was a male and quirkless, he too could become a hero. Memories of her telling him that he was worthy of One For All. That when she first saw him saving his childhood friend, she realized that he had the heart of a True Hero, but now he would have the power of a True Hero. More and more memories ran through Izuku's mind of the two, it got too much for the young male hero, being trapped in his mind and unable to do anything. All he could do was cry out in his mind, 'All Might…'
Izuku wanted nothing more but help the woman who made it possible for him to be at U.A High. If only he had the power to do something to help.
'Do you really want power?' Izuku suddenly heard a strange female voice in his head. 'Do you want to save her?'
Izuku didn't care whose voice was this, he didn't care about anything right now except for saving All Might. "Yes!" He agreed.
'Then let me help!'
Izuku didn't know who this voice belonged to, or how they could help, but he knew only one thing, he needed to help All Might. So he called out in his mind, "Help her!"
To Be Continued!
Author's Note: Here ends the next chapter of The Armour Hero, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. If you did, could you please spend a few moments to leave a feedback and let me know what you thought of this chapter, as the feedback does help. And if you do a long review like I got in chapter nine, can you do me a favour and don't write a huge block before starting a new paragraph. I have problems reading because I'm dyslexic, so trying to read huge blocks of writing is hard and I don't bother with reading the review.
So, if you want to read your long reviews, please make sure you keep each paragraph small, about four lines, and easy to read. You notice that I rarely write more than four to six lines for each paragraph, as if I do, it begins to get hard for me to read.
So you know, I had every intention of finishing the U.S.J arc in this chapter. However, as I was adding staff to make it more of my own instead of MrAuthor18's, I realized that the word count was getting close to 15k and I still wasn't finished with the story. For that reason, I decided to split the chapter into two to keep the story below 10k words, as I know that not many people like very long chapters. I don't mind long chapters myself, but I try not to go over 10k too often, the only time I do is when I can find a decent ending or if I know that there would be only two or three thousand words over 10k. If more, I would split the chapter into two.
So, in the next chapter, suspect a beginning that's not connected to MrAuthor18's. In fact, whilst you still will see his work, you'll also see much more changes in this chapter than in the last few chapters. This is because before now, there was very little I wanted to change as it all connected to what I wanted to happen and so there was little to change. But now at the final stage of the U.S.J chapters, there's things that I can change and alter to finally fit into what I want for this story other than slight changes and calling male characters female.
Either way, once again, I would like to thank MrAuthor18 for allowing me to use part of his story for mine. I would like to ask, out of courtesy of him allowing me to use their work, if you could go to his story, Deku: The Sharingan Hero and give it a read. Whilst I haven't finished it yet, from what I can remember, it is a decent read. So you might like it too.
Before you leave, I still would like help with naming seven males from Class 1-B. I'm still asking about this as I would like a few ideas to pick from before deciding on a name. I hope you can help me.
