Chapter 9: Battle for Metroville
As the heroes prepared for launch, over in Metroville the Omnidroid was going on a rampage throughout the city, blasting or smashing anything that stood in its path. Civilians scattered in all directions like ants and nothing that the special forces threw at the robot could even scratch it.
As it continued to trample through the streets it passed by an apartment complex which turned out to be the home of Lucius who was getting ready for his date with his wife Honey until he saw the massive killing machine being pursued by an Apache helicopter. The Ice Hero hurried over to his desk and picked up a remote which transformed the back wall of the room into a secret station containing a map of city, various support items and…an empty costume stand?
"Honey?" Lucius called to his wife (and yes, that actually is her name, I had no idea as a kid!)
"Yeah?" Honey answered back.
"Where's my super suit?" Lucius asked.
"What?" Honey responded.
"Where. Is. My. Super. Suit?!" Lucius emphasized.
"I, uh... put it away." Honey replied as Lucius noticed the Apache go down in flames which spurred his panic further.
"Where?!" He dropped the remote as he began to frantically search the apartment.
"Why do you need to know?!" Honey asked.
"I need it!" Lucius responded.
"Uh-uh! Don't you think about running off doing no derrin'-do! We've been planning this dinner for two months!" Honey argued.
"The public is in danger!" Lucius argued.
"My evening's in danger!" Honey countered.
"You tell me where my suit is, woman! We're talking about the greater good!" Lucius countered
"Greater good? I am your wife! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!" Honey
Lucius sighed with his head bowing down. This was gonna take a while.

Concurrently, Syndrome, having now arrived in the city with Illusion and League of Villains in tow, was watching his creation with pride on top of an office building.
"Magnificent, isn't it?!" Syndrome said with his arms out.
Toga gazed at the destruction with her hand against her forehead. "Ooooh~! Look how far it threw that truck, Jin. I think it still had the driver in it."
Twice was also enjoying the catastrophic spectacle. "Syndrome was right- it is just like a movie. Should've made more popcorn."
Syndrome chuckled at the villain's comment. "Well it's time for the climax! Finally. After today, Americans will see how outclassed Supers really are when I show them they can all just as easily be like them."
Shigaraki clicked his tongue. "Which is why I must ask again: what's in it for us? What part do we have to play in all of this?"
"Oh, you guys get the part that benefits you the most." Syndrome answered.
"And that is?" Shigaraki asked.
Syndrome grinned before he pointed his ZPE at them and fired. "The credit!"
"Sir!" Illusion was shocked as he stumbled back from the paralyzed villains. "You didn't mention this part of the plan!"
Syndrome casualty shrugged. "It's a recent development. You're wearing those spare ZPE gloves I gave you, right?"
"Y…Yes, Sir." Illusion responded
"Good. Keep this lot still while I give the people a show." Syndrome ordered.
Illusion barely had time to use his own ZPE to keep the League immobilised as Syndrome deactivated his. "Sir. Is it really wise to turn on them? I've seen what they're capable of."
"Oh, Illusion. I always knew Shigaraki was planning to turn on me the day I first spoke with him. I was just one step ahead." Syndrome chuckled as he stared into Shigaraki's frozen eyes which were blazing with anger.
"And besides, they'll go down in history as some of the most evil villains this country's ever known; and contributing to a world where supers will never be needed for anything anymore. So, in a way, I'm doing their job for them."
Back on the streets, the Omnidroid continued its unyielding attack on the city. It made a grab for an oncoming fuel tanker, the driver narrowly escaping in time, before hurling it towards the scattering masses.
But just before the tanker could hit the crowd, it was stopped in its tracks by Syndrome who was now hovering above the citizens as he held the tanker aloft.
"The supers have returned!" A civilian pointed in disbelief.
"Is that Fironic?" Another wondered.
"No, Fironic has a different outfit!" A woman corrected them. Syndrome waved his hand amusedly as he spoke to the crowd.
"No, no, I'm a new superhero! I'm Syndrome!" He vehemently introduced himself, recklessly flinging away the tanker which exploded behind him and the shaken crowd.
"And fear not, citizens! For my sidekick and I have come to put a stop to this mechanical menace! We've already started by capturing the band of villainous ne'er do wells behind it! Illusion!"
The civilians gasped as Illusion descended from one of the office buildings, carrying the frozen LOV members with him.
"Behold! The masterminds behind this disaster: the League of Villains! The scourge of Japan!" The people were in disbelief at the sight of the infamous gang of rogues. But at that moment, the Omnidroid began to make its way towards them, eliciting a new wave of screams from the citizens.
'Here we go.' Syndrome smiled. "All right, stand back!" He said as he pressed a button on his remote, causing the robot's claw to stop moving as it tried to grab him. He then began to fly around his creation, shooting at it with his lasers.
"Someone needs to teach this hunk of metal..." he quickly tapped another button before punching a tentacle "…a few manners." The metal appendage then fell away from the robot's body.
As Syndrome basked in the citizen's awe, he didn't realise that the Omnidroid was studying him. Its AI quickly analysed the situation, discovering that its control had been stolen by an external signal. It then traced the signal to Syndrome's remote and fired its laser canon, blasting the remote off Syndrome's wrist.
Now back in control of itself, the Omnidroid began to attack him, much to his horror. The ensuing confusion also caused Illusion to release the League of Villains from his ZPE, who also watched in confusion as the robot continued to attack its creator. It fired on him with its laser before it was able to shoot one of his rocket boots, causing Syndrome to fly out of control and crash into a building, knocking himself out in the process.
"Wow…Fail." Twice muttered, the other villains nodding in agreement.
"PFFT!-HAHAHAHAHA!" Toga burst out into laughter as she pointed at his unconscious form. "He totally wiped out! What a loser!"
"All that drumroll and the proverbial curtain drops on his head in the opening act? Some Super indeed." Compress said shaking his head in disappointment. Illusion stared at his unconscious leader in disbelief. For so many years he'd witnessed Syndrome defeat hero after hero, so to see him so helpless in the face of his own Omnidroid, let alone the Omnidroid itself turning against its creator, was more than he could comprehend.
Shigaraki on the other hand, grinned from ear to ear behind his father's hand as he'd watched the villain's spectacular failure. This was turning out even better than he'd hoped. Syndrome offered him credit, and so he would have it.
All of it.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Tremble before us, citizens! Your foolish Super has fallen to the iron fist of our machine! Now run in terror! Scream in fear! Cower in awe! And cry your hearts out as your heroless city crumbles around you! Because this robot isn't our only weapon! Kurogiri! Unleash the Nomu!"
His underlings felt their loyalty increase from seeing him take full advantage of the situation Syndrome had forced them into. He'd set them up to take the fall, but now they were the ones rising to the occasion.
"At once, Tomura Shigaraki." The warp villain spoke his leader's name loud and clear for the people of Metroville to hear before transporting them away from the scene, including a still shocked Illusion, leaving only Syndrome behind on the building. Moments later, another portal appeared in the skyline above the Omnidroid and everyone screamed in horror as the Cyclops High End Nomu emerged from it with a terrifying roar and began to fly through the city, firing its laser on the armed vehicles that attempted to fight it.
Now there are two unstoppable monsters attacking the city. Isn't there anyone who can help?
XXX
A few miles off the waterfront of the city, however, hope was quite literally on the horizon as the nose of a rocket came flying into view through the clouds. The outer shell broke away to reveal the glider inside and hanging in the center hole where an Omnidroid would normally be, a large RV was suspended by…Elastigirl?
Yes. Helen was stretched across the roof of the van, with her limbs gripping the edge of the glider. There were also several strips of tape stretched across the gap as well which did ease the strain she was going through. Inside the vehicle, the other members of the Parr family and 1A were both sitting and standing throughout the RV, as it was a bit tight to fit everyone in comfortably.
"Are we there yet?" Dash whined from his seat, much to Bob's annoyance.
"We get there when we get there!" He replied aggravated, before opening the window and sticking his head out. "HOW'RE YOU DOING, HONEY?!" He checked in on Helen.
"IT COULD BE WORSE!" She yelled back as she hung onto the frame. "THE TAPE HELPS!"
"Thanks for that by the way, kid. You saved her a lot of stress." Bob said to Sero who waved off the compliment humbly.
"No problemo. I pride myself on my tape's strength. Though I'm pretty sure they would've been enough without your wife having to use her body." Sero suggested.
"It probably would have, but we don't wanna risk tearing the roof off the van when we eject if your tape's as strong as you say it is. Just a few strands are enough to give Helen some ease and keep us from sticking." Bob stated.
"This has got to be the most nonsensical and reckless idea we've ever done." Iida muttered.
Mineta stared at him in mock shock. "Whaaaaat~? Noooo~. Why would it be? It's a great idea to be hurled through the air, twenty three million feet above the earth, with only a very, very thin strip of tape and elastic between us and a ten minute screaming drop to an abrupt stop! No need to panic, right?!"
"Regardless of how outlandish it is, it's got us this far." Bob argued. "Now comes the hard part."
"Now?!" Scream Mineta.
Bob prepared to engage the next phase of the plan. "Kids! Students! Strap yourselves in like I told you!" The Parr siblings and young heroes got into position, taking up any available space in RV (some having to use inconvenient spots like the floor, counter or elsewhere) before Sero taped them down, saving himself for last.
"I know it's impromptu, but it's the best I can do." He said.
"And yet somehow, this is more comfortable than riding the trains in the morning." Izuku stated.
"I just wanna tell you both: Good luck, we're all counting on you." Aizawa said to Bob flatly as he's seated in one of the control deck chairs.
Bob called out to Helen.
"Here we go, honey! Ready, Shota?!" Aizawa moved his hand over a button. "Ready…NOW!" At the push of the button the glider split down the middle, tearing Sero's tape away in the process as Helen let go of the frame and climbed through the window.
As the last pieces of the rocket fell away, the van was flung forward, towards the city. It glided over the water and an overpass was just about to narrowly pass under it.
"This is gonna be rough!" Bob shouted stepping on the gas as hard as he could. Everyone braced themselves before the RV's wheels touched down on the road. The vehicle jostled violently as it hit solid ground, on top of sideswiping a number of cars, but Bob was able to get the runaway vehicle under control.
"So far so good, guys." Kirishima grinned from his position, taped to the bathroom door which promptly swung open from the shaking and slammed his face against the wall. "Ow."
"Don't jinx it, dude!" Kaminari snapped.
"The robot's in the financial district. Which exit do I take?" Bob asked Helen who navigated him.
"Traction Avenue."
"That'll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don't I?" Bob asked.
"Don't take seventh!" Helen stopped him from taking the exit.
"Great, we missed it!" Bob argued.
"You asked me how to get there and I told you! Exit at Traction!" Helen suggested.
"That'll take me downtown!" Bob stressed.
"It's coming up! Get in the right lane! Signal!" Helen argued
"Just exit the damn highway, old man!" Bakugou shouted.
"I don't exit at traction!" Bob shouted back at Bakugou.
"YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT!" Helen yelled.
With a roar of frustration Bob exited the highway.
"That settles it: I'm never getting married." Aizawa grumbled as he rubbed his temples in an attempt to tune out the road rage.
"I don't want hear any lip from you, young man!" Helen snapped back.
"You're not that older than me." Aizawa stated
"No more talking! Tryin' to drive!" Bob ended the bickering as the RV made it onto the city streets, narrowly avoiding two cars as it sped uncontrollably through a cross section.
"HIT THE BRAKES, ROAD-HOG!" Denki said from his position- which happened to be taped to the ceiling (don't ask). Bob did so, but due to the speed they were moving at, the RV swerved onto its side and was sent into a violent roll.
"TOO FAST!" Toru squealed as the passengers were rattled about in the tumbling vehicle like dice in a cup. Sero's tape managed to hold at first, but soon many of the strapped 1A students came loose from their makeshift seatbelts.
After a few more seconds of rolling, the RV finally came to a stop, as luck would have it, in an empty parking spot
"Alright, who's not dead? Sound off." Aizawa checked over his shoulder. The collective groans of his students quickly followed. They were laying all about the smashed vehicle, a few in a dog-pile, Kaminari landing on top of it as his tape unstuck and he fell from the ceiling.
"Kaminari, you're crushing me!" Jiro shouted.
"I can't feel my everything." Toru stated
"My brains have gone into my feet." Shoji stated
"I got flung across the van, but something soft cushioned me." Izuku sated
"Th-That, uh, would be m-me, D-D-Deku." Ochako confirmed
"AGH! I'M SORRY URARAKA!" Izuka apologized
"Oooooh~! This is your lucky day, huh, Ochako~?" Mina suggested.
"I'll float you, Mina, I swear!" Uraraka shouted
"They're fine." Aizawa confirmed.
"Are you okay back there too, kids?" Bob checked on his own children.
"Super-duper, Dad!" Violet grinned dizzily with Dash laughing next to her.
"Let's do that again." Dash suggested
"Let's not!" Mineta snapped, poking his head out from beneath the dog-pile.
The parents smiled with relief before a rumble drew everyone's attention, as they saw the Omnidroid pass them by.
Bob turned to face Helen. "Wait here and stay hidden. I'm going in." As he left the vehicle, Helen and the others were quick to follow him.
"While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so." She refused.
"I'm asking you to stay with the kids and students." Bob asked
"And I'm telling you, not a chance. You're my husband. I'm with you, for better or worse." Helen countered
"I have to do this alone!" Bob insisted.
"Should we, uh…say something?" Kaminari asked awkwardly.
"Since when are you a marriage counselor?" Jiro muttered.
"I'm just asking!" Kaminari suggested
"Don't. This matter isn't one heroes should get involved in." Aizawa replied firmly.
Helen glowered at her husband as she continued to try getting through to him. "What is this to you? Playtime?"
"No." Bob answered.
"So you can be Mr. Incredible again?" Helen asked.
"No!" Bob denied vehemently.
"Then what? What is it?" Helen asked.
"I'm not..." Bob tugged at his hair in frustration.
"Not what?" Helen asked.
"I'm not strong enough." Bob answered.
"Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?!" Helen asked.
"Yes- No!" Bob answered.
"That's what this is? Some sort of workout?!" Helen shouted.
"I can't lose you again!" Bob cried, shaking Helen by her shoulders. The others looked on with shock as Bob set Helen back down, his head bowed as he murmured helplessly.
"I can't. Not again. I'm not...strong enough."
He felt his wife's hand on his cheek, raising his head to face her, before she leaned in and kissed him deeply, the couple wrapping their arms around on another.
"Awwwww~! My heart~!" Mina gushed at the romantic scene as she fanned her teary eyes.
"It's so beautiful!" Momo fawned as she dried her own tears.
"It's getting me choked up too!" Eijiro sobbed.
"Eh, Gag me." Katsuki grimaced.
Pulling away Helen reassured Bob, "If we work together, you won't have to be strong."
"I don't know what'll happen." Bob asked fearfully before Helen quoted his wedding vow with a smile.
"Hey. We're superheroes. What could happen?"
The sudden scream of their daughter cut through the air as the couple turned to see the Omnidroid had come back around and was standing over their children and 1A.
"SCATTER!" Bakugou yelled as the group ran from the RV before the robot stepped on it like a cola can, crushing it easily. The Parr children ran but were quickly cut off by another of the robot's claws blocking their path.
"VI! DASH! NO!" Helen screamed as the Omnidroid brought down its tentacle on the kids, only for it to bounce away.
Violet had concealed herself and Dash in a forcefield, the robot aggressively smacking its tentacles off its shimmering surface, slightly embedding the bubble into the road with each strike. Violet gritted her teeth as she tried to hold the field together, before the robot brought its entire body down on them this time. The immense weight shattered the barrier and the shock to her system caused Violet to pass out. Dash crawled over to his unconscious sister, trying to wake her up.
"Violet?" He looked up in horror as the Omnidroid began to bring its massive body down again to crush the Parr children, Dash shielding his sister as it came. But when nothing happened, he cracked his eyes open to see Kirishima in his unbreakable form; he grunted as he struggled to barely hold the robot back, his knees close to buckling.
"Red Riot!" Dash cheered as Kirishima cried out for assistance.
"FROPPY!"
"Ribbit!" The frog heroine hopped into action as she wrapped Dash and Violet (who'd regained consciousness) in her tongue and pulled them out from under the Omnidroid just before it smashed down on Kirishima.
"NO!" Violet screamed as she saw it happen.
"Don't worry. It takes more than that to break Red Riot." Tsu reassured as the robot lifted its body, Kirishima nowhere in sight, until he broke up through the asphalt with a primal roar.
"I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!" He yelled in victory before he was suddenly grabbed by the robot which flung him through the window of a nearby office building.
"Kirishima!" Mina glared at the robot. "Take this!" She sprayed its legs with a geyser of acid, but it didn't even scathe the surface. "What?! But my acid's eaten through robots before!" She said in disbelief, running away to avoid one of the claws.
"Whatever alloy Syndrome built this thing with, it can withstand being submerged in lava." Mr Incredible explained.
"Lava?! Well that puts Todoroki's flames out of commission." Sero lamented.
But as soon as he mentioned his classmate's name, a blast of ice struck one of the Omnidroid's legs, encasing it.
"Quick thinking, man. If your fire won't work, maybe your ice will." Kaminari stated
"That wasn't me." The dual-element-wielder shook his head, before the true cause of the ice came skating in.
"Frozone! Yeah!" Mr Incredible cheered at the arrival of his best friend on the battlefield.
"Let's ice this tin can!" The Frost Hero declared as he blasted the Omnidroid's leg joints in an attempt to seize up its movements.
This proved ineffective however, as the droid broke through the ice with ease before batting Frozone away with a claw.
"Watch out!" Deku leapt up to catch Frozone in midair before bringing him back to earth. "Are you ok?"
"Could've been worse if not for you. Nice catch, little Super." Lucius thanked him with a grin before heading back into the fray.
"I can't believe we're fighting alongside Frozone!" Izuku tittered, starry-eyed.
"This is no time for a fangasm, Deku!" Katsuki snapped angrily.
The supers and 1A begin their assault against the Omnidroid. Kirishima started out by jumping out of the building and hit the robots head knocking it down on its back. This allow Mineta, Shoto, Lucius, and Sero to restrain the Omnidroid with their quirks while everyone else attacked it from different angles. But even with the Ominidroid being attacked from all sides, there was barley a scratch on its outer shell and quickly began to free itself from its restraints
"WHY! WON'T! YOU! DIE?!" Bakugou shouted with each hopeless blast.
"Our quirks aren't doing anything to it!" Mineta screamed whilst hurling a myriad of sticky balls at the droid's feet but the balls were about as effective as gum on a shoe to the massive machine.
"Do the army have anything against it?" Aizawa inquired.
"Nah, they've already hit it with everything they have short of a nuke. All their presence would do at this point is hold us back!" Lucius replied grimly.
"I can't hold it back!" Sero ironically cried out who, along with Shoji, were being dragged across the ground by one of the robot's tentacles and flung to the side of a building.
"Then let's take it down from the inside!" Kaminari stepped forward. "I have an idea! Everyone, keep distracting it! Elastigirl, throw me up to its head!"
The super heroine hesitated at first, at the thought of hurling a child at a killer robot; but quickly remembered this was a provisional hero she was dealing with, and nodded before wrapping her arm around Denki's waist and slingshot him up towards the Omnidroid.
The Stun-Gun Hero scrambled to his feet as he clung to the edge of the droid's frame where its head protruded from.
Chargebolt grinned at the sight of the small opening in its impenetrable armor. "Time to go Lance Skyrunner on this droid. Alright, you clanker, take this! Indiscriminate shock: 1.3 Million Volts!"
He then unleashed a storm of electricity directly into the small opening as the entire robot was engulfed in lightning, causing it to stop attacking and collapse, its visor flickering madly and its frame jittering.
"Chargebolt fried it!" Kirishima cheered as the heroes watched the stuttering droid, waiting for it to collapse from the overload. But then…it regained its composure and began turned its visor to face Kaminari.
"Oh, fuck." He muttered as the robot made a grab for him. He jumped away from its claw and screamed as he fell before he was caught by Tsu who stared at the robot in disbelief.
"It absorbed your electricity, ribbit! Nice try, though."
"We can't even short out this damn thing!" Kaminari ranted. "How could this battle possibly get any worse!"
But in that moment, as though it had been waiting for him to say those words, the High End came soaring in from above with a roar.
"The universe just loves making me look bad, huh?" Kaminari deadpanned at the beast's arrival.
"You make it too easy!" Jiro added.
"The High End Nomu's here too?!" Ochako stared at the winged kaiju in fear as it fired its laser at a random building which burst into flames as it passed them by.
"You mean we're dealing with a giant robot and a flying monster?!" Lucius facepalmed. "This day just keeps getting better, don't it?!"
Aizawa stepped up. "I'll deal with the High End! I'm no good against the robot, but I can stop the Nomu from using its laser if I keep it in my sight!"
The erasure hero turned to his students. "Ingenium, Cellophane, Creati, Shoto, Tailman, Chargebolt and Tsukuyomi. You're with me! Earphone Jack, Anima, Sugarman, Tentacole and Froppy. You help the special forces with the city evacuation! The rest of you. Stay and assist the supers with the robot. Find a way to turn it off or bring it down!"
"Yes, Sir!" The students copied unanimously before the group broke.
"And watch out for the League of Villains! If the Nomu's here, so are they!" Aizawa shouted over his shoulder as his group ran off in pursuit of the High End.

Meanwhile, back in Japan, Nezu was currently busying himself at his desk before getting ready to close up for the night. The mouse principal had yet to hear of any updates from Aizawa since he left the country along with his class and he was starting to grow a little concerned. It wasn't like Shota to not be punctual.
"I wonder what the hold up is? I certainly hope they haven't run into any complications upon arriving. I imagine some citizens won't be happy to see them there on hero business." He said to himself before he heard a rapid knock at the door. "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Present Mic, his face flushed, and his phone clutched in one hand.
"Sir! Have you seen the news?!" He said in a panicky tone.
"Not presently, no, Hizashi." Nezu replied.
"Well you'd better turn it on now. There's some crazy shit going down in the States! And Shota and the kids are caught up in the middle of it."
"Oh my," Nezu picked up a remote from his desk as he went to turn on the T.V in his office. "Could they have run into some protestors after all?" Upon bringing up the news however, he soon found it was anything but as the screen displayed a live feed of Metroville; and his jaw dropped when he saw the frightening forms of both the Omnidroid and the High-End Nomu attacking the city, with 1A, accompanied by some unidentified heroes, attacking the two titans.
"I only wish it were that, Sir." Mic muttered looking over his shoulder.
"Have any of the students' parents contacted us?" asked Nezu.
"A few. Even Endeavour's trying to get clearance to head to America to assist in the fight, if that's even possible" responded Mic.
"Oh dear. This is most inconvenient. I suppose I should expect a call from the Prime Minister soon." It was at that moment his phone coincidentally began ringing. "Very soon, it would seem."
When he picked up the device however, he was surprised to see the name on the screen. "Fancy that. Not the political leader I was initially expecting, but it saves me the trouble of calling them myself."
"Who is it, Sir?" Mic asked.
"I'll take it from here. Please notify the rest of the faculty to inform the parents that we're taking action as quickly as possible to send assistance."
"Yes, Sir." After the pro hero left the office, Nezu answered his phone and spoke,
"Well now, this is a surprise. It's not everyday I get a call from you, Mr. President."
"Ha-ha! Come on, Nezu, 'Mr. President'? You know I prefer to keep things casual with you. We are lab brothers after all." stated current US president Mickey Mouse in the oval office.
"Yes, Mickey, I know. But given the situation in Metroville, I wouldn't consider this a casual call." Nezu said.
"You're right about that. You wouldn't be able to explain what's going on, would you?" asked Micky
"While I can't confirm if they're behind the giant robot, but the League of Villains are indeed responsible for the winged monstrosity they call a Nomu. But as you can see from the footage, my students and staff member are doing all that they can to quell the chaos along with some American Supers by the looks of it. It appears that their journey to your country has been drastically compromised by these villains." Nezu explained.
"Indeed. I recognized those heroic faces from my country who are doing well in the fight, ha-ha. I've already sent word to my Chief of Defense to inform the armed forces to cooperate with the heroes until the villains have been thwarted. I just pray that they succeed, or I can kiss my reelection goodbye- The Brain will surely use this decision against me if it fails, ha-ha." Mickey stated.
"Well, you can be rest assured, Mickey, that my rising stars shan't allow Metroville to fall. And may their victory begin to usher in the return of Supers to America." Nezu stated.

Back at the battlefield, the heroes that were fighting the Omnidroid had made no progress whatsoever. Every method they'd tried both inside and outside the box had proved fruitless in causing any sort of damage to the robot's shell.
'If I can't damage its body, then I'll go for its eye' Katsuki thought. "AP Shot!" He aimed one of his concentrated blasts at the droid's face whilst it was attempting to grab Helen. But before the blast could strike, it raised one of its rotating claws to deflect it back at Bakugou.
"WHAT?!" The boy was blow back by his own explosion sending him flying into a car. "How the fuck did it do that?! It wasn't even looking at me!" He angrily questioned, emerging from the smashed vehicle.
Bob stated, "The longer you fight it, the faster it calculates strategies to defeat you. Did I mention it's a learning robot?"
Bakugou felt the usual veins on his temple pop. "No, you didn't, old man!"
"So now we're also fighting against the clock before it has us all figured out!" Kirishima
Indeed, the fight was quickly becoming more and more one-sided against the heroes. With most of the group off facing the Nomu or helping evacuate the city, the Ominidroid has become more difficult to fight. As Bob tried to tear the Omindroids arm off, he was flung across the street where he noticed something laying next to him. He picked it up and was shocked to find, that it was a familiar white wristband with an assortment of buttons on it. Ones that if he wasn't mistaken, would turn this entire battle on its head.
(A.N. - Ladies and gentlemen, play 'You Say Run' here.)
"SYNDROME'S REMOTE!" He raised their key to victory aloft which drew everyone's attention, including the Omnidroid which immediately advanced toward him and snatched him up. Bob frantically pressed the buttons on the remote until one caused the tentacle that was holding him to disconnect from the robot's body sending him falling back to earth.
Among the onlooking students, Violet noticed what her dad just did. "The remote controls the robot!"
"HA! We're gonna hax this metal bastard!" Bakugou grinned sadistically.
The robot was now trying to shoot Mr. Incredible with its laser gun, preventing him from using the remote lest he end up getting blasted.
"DAD!" He then looked to see Dash waving at him from afar. "THROW IT! THROW IT!"
"GO LONG!" Bob yelled as he hurled the remote in Dash's direction sending it flying towards the other end of the street, his son immediately speeding after it. He zipped across a large pond before he caught the remote on the other side. The Omnidroid had already turned its laser on him however and was shooting at the boy from all sides, aiming at nearby cars in an attempt to surround Dash with the resulting explosions.
"Someone take out its gun!" Bob yelled for help until the robot shot him away. Aoyama looked up at the robot's laser gun, before his gaze drifted to Izuku as he suddenly got an idea. He just hoped his friend remembered the steps.
"Deku!" He called out as Izuku as he ran towards him. "Disco ball maneuver!"
Izuku understood immediately as he in turn ran towards Yuga, before the two of them linked elbows, allowing him to throw Aoyama into the air with a mighty swing of his quirk. The supposed French boy flew upward until he was eye level with the Omnidroid. And with a scream of determination mixed with pain, unleashed a full-powered blast of his navel laser which obliterated the robot's weapon. The explosion juddered its movements as it tried to regain its composure after having its gun blown off.
"You did it, Can't Stop Twinkling!" Deku cheered as Aoyama sparkled brilliantly.
"Oui! C'est la vie, mon ami! I'm so shiny~!" He replied, striking a victory pose in midair. Though his moment of victory was suddenly quashed as the Omnidroid then swatted him out of the air. Luckily Elastigirl managed to break his fall by stretching herself out into trampoline for him to bounce off of.
"So what's the next move? We have the remote, but what do we do with it?" Pinky looked on worriedly as the Omnidroid was chasing after Dash who was now riding on Frozone's back.
"There's got to be a function on it that can shut it down or disable its attacks." Helen hoped.
"At least we have an advantage now. I just hope the others are having better luck on their end." Kirishima said, thinking of those of his classmates who'd gone with their teacher to deal with the High End.

"There it goes!" Aizawa's team had their sights on the giant Nomu itself which was flying towards another section of the city.
"The citizens haven't evacuated that area yet!" Momo pointed out as many civilians were scrambling in terror to escape the abomination, as it began to build up its menacing laser.
"Oh no you don't!" Aizawa glared as he aimed his glowing eyes at the monster causing its own one to stop, much to its confusion.
"Nice work, Eraserhead! You've disabled its laser!" Kaminari praised.
"But not for long if it gets out of my sight!" The erasure hero replied grimly. "Cellophane! Tsukuyomi! I need you to get me and Chargebolt up to it."
"What?! Why me?!" asked Kaminari.
"You're the only one here who can destroy the jet engine on its back. Since it's mechanical it won't regenerate, and you'll have cut its speed down by a significant amount." Aizawa explained.
"Come on, man. You climbed on top of a giant robot; a Nomu's no different" Sero encouraged.
"Dammit all." Kaminari cursed under his breath before slapping his cheeks. "Alright, let's do something stupid!"
"If I didn't know you better, Sir, I'd say Midoriya's recklessness is rubbing off on you, coming up with a plan such as this." Iida commented.
"Then it's a good thing you do know me better, Ingenium, so I'll pretend I didn't hear that comparison." Aizawa said with gritted teeth. 'Shit, he's right. Problem Child would definitely come up with something like this. I'm done for.'

On top of an apartment roof with a pool, residents watched in shock and awe as the Ominidroid and Nomu continued to attack the city. Suddenly a black portal opened up where the LOV and Illusion exited. Before anyone could question who they were, Dabi used his flames to burn the poolside bar, scaring the residents as they ran towards to exit.
"There, now we have the whole roof for ourselves." said Dabi.
"With a killer view!" Toga scream excitedly
"And a pool!…sucks that I didn't bring my swimsuit." said Twice
"I must admit this is the perfect place to watch one of our greatest performance in action" said Compress.
As the LOV were settling in on the roof, Illusion tried to make a break for it by flying away only for Kurogiri to portal him straight down back to the roof and before he had a chance to fight back, Shigaraki uses his quirk to turn Illusion's amor to dust leaving Spinner to point his sword at him while the rest of the League surround him.
"You're not going anywhere, traitor." Spinner threatened him. With his amour and weapons gone, Illusion knew he didn't stand a chance against the villains, leaving him with only one option left to survive: beg.
"P-P-Please, don't kill me, I swear I didn't know that Syndrome was going to betray you. I tried to convince him not to but he was too stubborn to listen!" as Illusion knelt with his head on the ground hoping that the villains might spare him.
"As easy as it would be for me or anyone in the league to kill a pathetic quirkless human like you…I have to give Syndrome some credit" said Shigaraki
Illusion and the LOV looked at Shigaraki with a surprise face.
"He was right, I was planning to betray him since we first met and even more so once he revealed his plan was to make himself be seen as hero. He may want to live that life, but we don't. Our plans are to crush hero society and everything it stands for. How fortunate for us that Syndrome's plan failed miserably and thanks to him this entire country sees the League of Villains as the masterminds behind the robot attack and with the Nomu also involved, they'll see we are not ones to be messed with." Shigaraki stated
"If everything's going in your favour, why did you take me?" asked Illusion
Shigaraki kneeled towards Illusion "Simple, once the Ominidroid and Nomu destroys Metrovile and kills everyone in it, both you and Syndrome will find way to control that robot and use it and the Nomu to destroy every major city in this country. Without any heroes defending the States thanks to this country's law, the people will have no choice but to either accepts our rule or their deaths by our hands. With the League controlling the States, heroes from across the world won't dare attack us not unless they want their country to suffer the same fate. So thank you Illusion, thank you and Syndrome for giving us the key to the society that I, the league, and my master always dream of." he said with a twisted smile on his face.
After hearing Shigaraki's plan, Illusion with a look of fear on his face realized that he and Syndrome had made a mistake. Not only did they work with a truly terrifying person, but one that could bring an end to the United States itself and the rest of the world as well.

With the High End Nomu's lasers disable thanks to Aizawa's quirk, it began hurling itself towards many buildings with its body. After crashing into another one, huge chunks of debris were about to crush a male civilian until.
Vvvvvrooooom!! As the debris hit the ground, the civilian saw himself being carried by what looks a knight with engines sticking from his legs.
"Don't worry, citizen, your safe know" Iida assured him as he put him down.
Before the civilian could thank Ingenium, he screamed and pointed in the air as he saw the Nomu swooping down to attack them. Fortunately for them, his path was blocked thanks to a huge wall of ice that emerged between them.
Iida turned around and saw Todoroki, "Thanks for the assist, Shoto!"
"Don't mention it." The dual elemental hero replied.
The Nomu say Shoto and before it could attack him, it was hit on the side by a canon ball, it turn around and saw in a couple blocks down the street, Momo next to the canon she created along with Oijiro.
"That's right you monster, come and get us!" Momo screamed.
As the Nomu flew towards them, it didn't notice it was being followed by Tokoyami who was flying and carrying Aizawa along with Sero who was swinging between buildings with Kaminari holding onto his back.
"Chargebolt, as soon as were close, will drop on top of it!" Aizawa said
"Sure thing sir!" Kaminari confirmed
"Our prey is nearly upon us" Tokoyami said
"Get ready" Sero said.
As soon as the four heroes were above the Nomu, Aizawa gave the order.
"NOW!"
Aizawa and Kaminari jump off from Tokoyami and Sero and landed on the Nomu's back. The Nomu tried to shack them off, but Aizawa used one end of his scarf to hold on to the Nomu's neck while the other end to hold on to Kaminari so he wouldn't fall off.
"Chargebolt ,destroy the Nomu's jet engines!" Aizawa said.
"One clipped Nomu coming right up!" Kaminari short circuited the Nomu's engines causing it to fall but not before Tokoyami and Sero came down to sweep Aizawa and Kaminari off it's back.
Before the Nomu hit the ground, Oijiro ran towards it, jump up and struck its head with one of his ultimate moves.
"Twirling Tail Dance!"
The Nomu was flung towards a build and landed hard on its stomach, sliding across the ground. The heroes rushed towards it and stopped at a safe distance.
"Did we defeat it?" Iida asked. Unfortunately, the Nomu got up on his legs and roared angrily towards the heroes.
"No, we did not." Shoto stated.
"Oh great, instead of damaging it, we just pissed it off more" Kaminari said.
"Which is exactly what I wanted to do." Clarified Aizawa.
"WHAT!?" shouted the students.
"Students, run back to where the others are fighting the Ominodroid while also keeping the Numo a safe distance from you and Tsukuyomi, fly me above it so can keep it's laser off" ordered Aizawa.
Following their teacher's orders, insane as they sounded, the students ran away from the scene while the Nomu chase after them. During the chase the Nomu almost caught them a few times but it was slowed down by either Shoto's ice that caused it to slip or Momo's smoke bombs she created that temporarily blinded it.
"I don't get it! Why does Mr. Aizawa want us to lead the Nomu back to the others who are fighting the Ominidroid?" Oijiro asked
"I'm sure this is part of a grand plan of his" Momo suggested.
"Indeed, whatever plan that Mr. Aizawa came up will surely be helpful for us." Iida agreed.
"Well what ever it is, does it have to include us bait for it?!" yelled Kaminari
As the students continued to run from the Nomu, Aizawa kept staring at it while from above as he was being carried by Tokoyami and hoping that his plan would bring a quick end to this city wide destruction.

Back at the battle with the Omnidroid, the robot tried to roll over Dash who's still riding on Frozone's back. The ice hero then skated across the pond and was able to get some distance from the Omnidroid. After changing back from a ball to a robot, the Ominidroid jump on the pond creating a huge wave that knocked over both Dash and Frozone but the latter blasted the wave which turned to snow cushioning both of their falls. Sadly, Dash dropped the remote which landed on the far side of the street.
Luckily Bob, Izuku, Uraraka, and Bakugo saw where it landed and ran towards it. But before they could get to it, the Omnidroid launched one of its claws towards the heroes, which grabbed them, sending them flying down the street, and skidding hard on the ground. As the Ominidroid walked towards to remote, Frozone froze the ground causing it to slip until Elastigirl tripped it up by stretching her body across the street. Though knocked down, the trip caused the robot to land closer to the remote and just when it was about to destroy it, the remote started floating in air as well as screaming while trying to avoid the Ominidroid's claws.
"Throw it here!" A voice shouted as the remote flew across the street before stopping again in midair. "Keep away~!" The voice laughed as the remote was tossed back and forth through the air, confusing the Omnidroid.
In attempting to destroy the remote, the Robot got tangled by its tentacles and fell on it's side. The floating remote turned out to be Toru and Violet who turned visible again before running to her mother, brother, Lucius, Aoyama, Kirishima, Ashido, and Mineta, with Toru close behind her.
"Guys, we've got it, we've got the remote" Violet said as she showed it to everyone.
"Awesome!" Kirishima shouted excitedly
"Way to go girl!" said Ashido.
"Tre magnifique!" said Aoyama
"We might actually survive this." Mineta said hopefully
As the Ominidroid got back up Lucius asked, "A remote? A remote that controls what?"
Violet start pushing buttons to see which one will can disable the Ominidroid and as it started getting closer, she presses a button that activate the robot's jet propulsion causing it to fly.
"The robot?!" screamed Lucius in shock.
The Ominidroid flew over the heroes until it crashed into the side of buildings disabling its jets. On the other side to street, Bob, Izuku and Bakugou were able to free themselves and Uraraka from the Ominidroid's claw with their combined quirks as they saw the Ominidroid getting back up again.
"It's coming back!" Dash shouted as he took the remote from his sister, press a button which only open the claw that held Bob, Izuku, Bakugou and Uraraka.
"That wasn't right," said Dash
"Give me that!" Violet said as she took back the remote and before she could press a button, she and her group saw a huge smoke screen exploding near to the Omnidroid and from within, out came Aizawa and his group running towards them.
As the Omindroid saw the other group of heroes enter its view and was about to attack them, it was suddenly hit on the side by a laser revealing the Nomu. Having originally aimed its attack at the heroes, the monstrosity ended up flying into the Ominidroid colliding with it with all its strength and blasting it more with its laser.
As the heroes watched the fight between the Ominidroid and Nomu in disbelief, they were then greeted by a familiar voice.
"Hey guys, ribbit!" said Tsu as she returned with her group.
"Mr. Aizawa, we were able to help the special forces evacuate the citizens as far away from the battle as we could." said Shoji.
"So we came back to help you guys against the robot and Nomu" said Sato
"Good work students, but I think that problem is about to solve itself" said Aizawa as he pointed to the fight between machine and monster.
"Uh, when did this turn into a real-life Kaiju fight?" ask Jiro
"I believe this all part of Mr. Aizawa's plan after our group fought the Nomu and lured it back to the Ominidroid, I'm a correct sir?" asked Iida
"Mostly. Even with our numbers, fighting both the Omnidroid and the High End Nomu would have been rather difficult, so rather than us fight them, we have them fight each other," said Aizawa.
"Oh, so that why you had us fight the Nomu and had Kaminari disable its jet engines" Momo realizing.
"By us attacking it and taking away its ability to fly, it would focus its rage on us making it easy to lead it to wherever we want" Shoto stated.
"Or in this case, to whom with we want" Iida clarify.
"How ironic that we're using a Nomu to help save the day" said Tokoyami.
"Hey at least it gives us a break from having to fight them" said Sero.
"Yeah well, I still didn't like us being used as bait" complained Kaminari.
"Regardless, if the fight between them get's too out of hand, we'll split up and defeat them simultaneously" said Aizawa.
"Luckily, we have remote that can disable it the robot" Helen pointed out as she and the rest of heroes watch the fight between the Ominidroid and Nomu.
As the High End's laser raged against the Omnidroid's framework, the killer robot's mechanical mind was rapidly trying to analyze both its situation and the Nomu as it scanned the monster's twisted anatomy. Its visual display glitched and sputtered as it realized the heat of the laser was slowly beginning the reach its inner workings, risking the safety of its core.
What equated to a brush with death for the Omnidroid, prompted it to speed up its analysis which allowed the robot to finally locate the means to kill the Nomu. With a thrust of one of its tentacles, the droid plunged the clawed end directly into the High End's exposed brain which caused the beast to immediately stop its assault. It removed it claw from the dead Nomu's head as blood sprayed out of it as it collapsed on the ground. The supers and 1A watch in shock at the body of the dead Nomu and the Ominidroid that kill it with its body barley damage from the Nomu's attack.
"Well, we're boned" said Mineta.
XXX
Back at the apartment rooftop, the LOV and Illusion also witness the death of the Nomu by the Ominidroid and were either shock or surprise by the outcome.
"*Gasp* Oh no they killed our Nomu!" said Toga.
"You bastards!" shouted Twice.
"I can't believe that a robot defeated one of the leagues most powerful weapon" stated Spinner.
"Should you really be that surprise?" said Illusion "Syndrome design the Omnidroid to learn how to kill any Supers regardless how unique or powerful their quirks are. The Nomu may have been more vicious than any past Supers we send to the island to test previous models, but it still ended up being killed just like them.
"Well then, it looks those heroes are about to face their final performance as well" suggested Compress.
"To bad those aren't ordinary heroes down there" stated Dabi.
"Huh?" Mr. Compress wondered.
"Dabi's right, no matter what we throw at those brats, they always find a way to get out of it alive" stated Shigaraki "Even the former number one American hero and his family have become a damn nuisance." Shigaraki growled scratching his neck.
"Do you believe they have some key in defeating the Ominidroid?" asked Kurogiri
"Without a doubt in my mind. So how about we go and get rid of that key?" said Shigaraki with a sinister smile as he makes a fist.

With the High End Nomu dead, the Omnidroid set its sights back on Syndrome's remote and walked towards the heroes in order to destroy it. Back at the far end of the street, Bob, Izuku, Uraraka, and Bakugo watched as the Ominidroid drew closer to the others.
"Not even a full powered Nomu was able to bring it down." Izuku said in worried.
"Then we'll just have to kill that over size bowling ball ourselves!" shouted Bakugo with sparks of explosions in his hands.
"But can we?" asked Uraraka "Even when we all fought it at once, it was able to withstand our quirks and the longer we fight it, the quicker it'll learn how to kill us just like that Nomu".
"We can't stop it" said Bob as Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka looked at him a surprise face, "The only thing hard enough to penetrated it is..." then Bob remembered his first fight with the previous Omnidroid from the island, then looked at the giant claw along with Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka "…itself."
"It's getting closer!" shouted Dash.
Bob lifted the Ominidroid claw, realizing his plan, Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka held on to the other sides of the claw.
"It doesn't work!" screamed Violet as she keeps pushing buttons.
"Well keep trying or we are going die!" scream Mineta.
"Kids!" screamed Helen.
One of the buttons that Violet press activated the claws jet engines as Bob, Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka tried to hold it back.
"It's not doing anything" said Lucius
Helen takes the remote from Violet and tells Frozone "Lucious try to buy us some time".
"Try the one next to it" said Lucius as he skates towards Ominidroid, but before he got closer to it, he sees Shoto sliding next to him.
"I'll back you up!" said Shoto as he went to join Frozone.
"Thanks for assist kid" said Lucius as he created an ice ramp that he jump off from, popped out a pair of skis from the sole of his boots that turn into a saucer sled that allow him to slide faster towards the Ominidroid.
Seeing what Frozone did surprised Shoto and he thought to himself 'Hm, maybe I should get a support gear like that.' as he increased his ice to catch up to Frozen.
"Hang on kids!" Bob tells Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka as they hold on to the claw.
As soon as Frozone and Shoto got close to the Ominidroid, they use their ice quirks to create an ice wall between them and the robot but even with their combine ice, the Ominidroid was still able to break it but the two heroes just created another ice wall so they can at least slow the robot down.
Helen pressed another button which turned off the claws rocket engine. But it was then Bob realized that that feature could help with his plan.
"Wait a minute, press that button again!" He shouted to Helen.
"What?" asked Izuku, Bakugo, and Uraraka.
"We barley held on the first-time, old man!" shout Bakugo
"Trust me, we need it!" said Bob "Helen, press the button!" Helen did as he said, but instead of reactivating the rocket, the claw's spinning feature turned on instead.
"No, the other one, the first one!" Bob corrected.
"First button got it!" confirmed Helen as she found the right one.
"It's getting closer!" screamed Dash.
"Look out!" warned Lucius to Shoto who was able to move away from one of Omnidroid's tentacles.
Before anyone else said anything, Jiro heard a weird sound, looked up and warned everyone.
"Heads up!" Jiro shouted as the heroes looked up and see one Kurogiri's portals and from it, came Dabi as he unleashes a huge blue flame towards to heroes but fortunately they were able to get out of the way. Unfortunately, it causes Helen to drop the remote.
As the heroes prepared to fight Dabi, he was quicky teleported back to LOV.
"If everyone ok?" asked Aizawa
"I think so but, why did Dabi attack only to then suddenly teleport away?" asked Oijiro
"Mom, where's the remote?" asked Dash and he and the rest of heroes saw that she didn't have the remote anymore.
"Oh shoot, I must have dropped it when that villain attacked us." Helen stated as she and the heroes tried to find it.
"Oh. Looking for this?" said an eerie voice as the heroes stopped looking, turned around, and saw Shigaraki holding the remote with his right hand except his pinky finger is touching it.
"Shigaraki." Izuku stared in horror.
"So you managed to kill my cyclops. And I see you now plan on using this little remote to disable the Omnidroid as well. You know I can't let you do that."
"Don't-!" Before anyone could stop him the villain fully enclosed his hand on the remote and crushed it into a pile of decayed metal and plastic.
"No! The remote!" Violet cried out.
"You fool! Don't you realize the robot's rebelled against its creator?! It won't serve you!" Aizawa cursed angrily.
"Syndrome can always build another one. In the meantime, you all have fun trying to stop this one before it kills you and everyone else in this city. Come, Kurogiri, let go back to our front row seats." Shigaraki chuckled sinisterly as the portal villain enveloped him and they vanished.
"Damn it! Without that remote we can't use this claw as a missile" shouted Bob.
"A missile?" Izuku murmured as he looked at the appendage and then between Bob, Ochako, Bakugou and the Omnidroid which was still being held back by Frozone and Shoto.
"That's it!" said Izuku
"What's it?!" Ochako asked.
"I have an idea; we're still gonna destroy the robot with the claw. But I'm gonna need all of your help to pull it off." Izuku explained.
"Well let's hear it, kiddo." Bob replied.
"Yeah, we're with you, Deku!" Ochako grinned.
"Speak for yourself, pink cheeks!" yelled Bakugou.
"Just hear me out, OK?! We don't have time to argue!" said Izuku.
Whilst he explained his plan the other heroes were also thinking of any way that they could stop the Omnidroid.
"How are we supposed to stop it without the remote?!" Denki, beginning to panic.
"Kids! Get out of here! Find a safe spot!" Helen told her children.
"We're not going anywhere!" Violet refused. Not after everything they've been through was she going to run for cover.
Shoto and Frozone were continuing to throw walls of ice at the robot, but that barley managed to hold it off as it smashed its tentacles through the glaciers with ease. But fortunately, this was all the time Izuku needed to put his plan into motion.
"Alright. Get ready for my signal!" He looked to other three. He was now standing atop one of the buildings while Mr Incredible was holding the Omnidroid claw with Ochako by his side.
"Ready!" She said holding her hand over the claw.
"Hang on tight now." Bob added to Bakugou who was clinging to the base of the claw like a bug on a windshield.
"This had better work, Deku, or you're dead meat!" He snarled.
"Ready?...NOW!" Izuku signalled. With that Ochako slapped her hand on the claw removing its weight.
"Throw it!" She said.
"Ok, here we go!" Bob yelled as he hurled the lightened claw into the air, Bakugou hanging on as the wind blew past him.
"Wait til you're in position, Kacchan!" Izuku instructed as the claw flew higher until it reached the skyline. "Fire!"
"SMILE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Bakugou roared as he unleashed a full blast of nitroglycerin into the back of the claw, launching it away from him and straight towards the Omnidroid.
"Release!" Ochako restored the claws weight just before it reached the Omnidroid which looked up before the claw struck it directly in the centre of its body with a BAM! knocking it back and startling the other heroes.
"What the hell?!" Kirishima yelped.
"Where did that come from?!" Lucius asked as the group looked back to see the others waving to them.
"Uh...guys?" Mineta pointed with a whimper as everyone looked to see the Omnidroid getting back up. The claw had indeed penetrated its armour but was only lodged in halfway.
"No! It wasn't enough! We had to pierce its core." Bob said with a mix of frustration and desperation.
"But that was our only shot!" Said Ochako her hands on her head.
"What do we do now?!" Kaminari panicked when suddenly the group felt a great shift in the air pressure.
Fwwoossh! Jumping above the heroes was Izuku as he aimed his foot at the back of the claw, the energy of One For All emanating around him.
"SMAAAAAAASH!" With the force of a ballistic missile, Izuku's kick struck the back of the claw allowing it to go right through the Ominidroid and piercing its core which came out the other side along with Izuku who skidded across the ground as he landed. The robot stopped its advance completely when it happened before toppling on its side on the pond as the light from its optics faded.
As the heroes gathered and watched the Omindroid's downed form, it began to spark and jitter, beams of light emerging from the hole where Izuku kicked the claw in before the entire things exploded, though safely away from the heroes.
With the Ominidroid destroyed, the heroes cheered triumphantly.
"WE DID IT!" Mina squee'd joyfully, pulling Eijiro and Violet into a group hug.
"Oh yeah! That's how we do it in UA! Kiss all our asses, ya broken down clanker!" Denki cheered while giving the smouldering husk of the Omnidroid the middle finger.
"You dork." Jiro rolled her eyes at his childish victory, but couldn't keep the smile off her face from it.
"Deku, your plan worked brilliantly! You're a genius!" Ochako beamed at Izuku, inches away from his face. The boy himself blushed from both her praise and distance.
'So close.' "Aw, c'mon, I couldn't have done it without you, Uraraka." He said. "Not to mention Kacchan and Uncle Bob too."
"Ah, just take the young lady's compliment, champ." Bob grinned at Izuku's shyness, ruffling his hair before turning his attention to Lucius.
"Hey, Zone." He gave his best friend a salute who chuckled proudly in response.
Just then, the heroes began hearing clapping from the citizens who were starting to emerge from hiding from the battle and congratulated the heroes for saving them from not one but two disasters. At the same time on the building where Syndrome crashed, he had finally regained consciousness and looked to see the heroes were being applauded for their destroying the Omnidroid.
"Huh? No!" Syndrome said with unyielding rage. His entire plan had literally gone up in smoke when it should have been his grand debut. He wouldn't let this stand as he quickly took off into the air while everyone was distracted.
Within the crowd of bystanders, two old gents who are the last members of group a nine great heroes commentated how well the heroes fought in defeating the Omnidroid and Nomu.
"Did you see that, Ollie? That's the way to do it, that's old school," said the first.
"Yeah. No school like the old school, Frank." Replied Ollie. "Though I liked the first Iron Giant we saw better."
"Yeah, he was way friendlier than this one." Frank agreed.
As the citizens continue to cheer, the heroes basked in the glory of their recognition and achievement.
"Can you believe it guys; we just saved a city in a different country" said Kirishima.
"I know right? This'll totally boost our hero cred once we go back to Japan" said Ashido.
"Don't forget the real reason why we came here you two" said Momo.
"She right, our goal is to convince the USA to lift their ban of heroics and quirk use in order to reintroduce them back into hero society" stated Iida.
"We all remember that goal, Iida and after what we did today, we are closer to that dream than ever before" said Izuku.
Lucius chuckled and said, "Just like old times".
"Just like old times" Bob agreed after giving Lucius a hard pat on the back.
"Ow! Yep, hurt then too" said Lucius adjusting his shoulder.

Back on the rooftop apartment, the LOV watch angrily as the heroes being cheered by the citizens and while Illusion is still no fans of quirk users hero or villain otherwise, a part of him is relieve that the heroes stop the LOV's plan from using both the Ominidroid and Nomu from destroying and controlling the USA.
"Well, our plan burned up into failure" stated Dabi.
"Not the performance I was hopping for" said Compress.
"Err, damn those hero, even in another country, they still find a way to defeat us!" shouted Spinner.
"Wow! did you see how my Izuku kick that robots own claw into its body? Who would have thought that he had act for stabbing like me!" Toga said excitedly.
The LOV and Illusion looked at Toga with a blank expression on their face.
"You right Toga that was cool! …..but don't forget he's a no good hero that we have to defeat!" shouted Twice
"I know, I know, I can still love Izuku while watching him bleed by my own hands~" said Toga.
"Tomura Shigaraki, what do you want us to do?" asked Kurogiri.
"Well, since those annoying brats are planning to stay here for a while, we should do the same thing too. The sooner we kill those heroes, the sooner we can take control of this country" stated Shigaraki "But until that happens, we need place to lay low for a while, and I'm sure our new henchman knows a place like that right?" as he stares and threatens Illusion.
Knowing that he doesn't have a choice in the matter, Illusion knew that he'll need to follow the LOV's orders until he can find a way to escape from them.
"Alright, I'll take you to one of Syndrome's safe house" Illusion stated.
"Good, Kurogiri" said Shigaraki.
The warp villain nodded before teleporting the LOV and their unwilling henchman, Illusion to their new US base to recover from their loss and come up with a new way to defeat the heroes.

About an hour had passed since the heroes' victory over the Ominidroid and High End Nomu. During the time, the citizens made their way back to their homes and Lucius decided to head back to his place too so that he could have his date night with his wife but not without saying his goodbyes to the Parrs and 1A.
"Gotta say, I'm impressed, you kids have really got what it takes, so I'll be keeping in touch with you little supers. You keep it up especially, iceman. I like what you've got." He complimented Shoto before taking his leave.
"Wow, Todoroki! You might actually get to intern with Frozone! Can you imagine what new ways you could learn to master your ice?! With his knowledge and skills combined with what you learned from your Dad, you could becomeoneofthegreatestelememtalproherosinJapanmuttermuttermuttermuttermuttermutter…"
"Wow. I think Zuku talks faster than I run." Dash commented on Izuku's rambling. Not long after Frozone had left, Rick Dicker arrived on the scene in a government limo along with a large bus.
"Shota Aizawa, I presume. Also known as Eraserhead." He greeted Aizawa with a handshake. "Not the way you planned on coming to America though, right?" He joked which did earn a rare smirk from underground hero.
"Would it surprise you that I'm actually getting used to villains hijacking trips with my students at this point?"
"Given what's been going on in your country, I can't blame you." Rick replied. "But you and your students will be wanting to get settled in as soon as possible. My trainee, Winston Deavor has been expecting you. He certainly enjoyed the show on the news. You could say it's given a major confidence boost in his plans."
"I look forward to discussing it further with him then." Aizawa nodded as he turned to his class. "Ok, you lot, get on the bus. We're heading out so say whatever you have to say to the Parrs, but make it quick. I'm long overdue for a nap."
As Aizawa got into the driver's seat, the Parrs and 1A began saying their goodbyes and gratitudes for having met and fought alongside each other since their whole ordeal started in Syndrome's Island.
"Vi, we totally have to swap numbers. There's no way I'm losing contact with my invisi-bestie!" Toru said clutching Violet's hands in her gloved ones.
"'Invisi-bestie'?" Violet queried.
"Yeah; invisible bestie. C'mon that was obvious!" Mina chirped. "But she's right though. You're definitely joining our chat group, girl!"
"I would certainly like to get to know you better Parr." Momo agreed with a kindly smile.
"For sure! Plus you're like a cousin to Deku." Ochako grinned. "Any friend of his is a friend of mine."
"You sure you're not just using that as an excuse to learn more about Midoriya, ribbit?" Tsu teased earning a pouty glare from the gravity girl while the other girls laughed.
"Tsu's joking aside, Green's usually been a good judge of character." Kyoka added. "You seem like a good egg to me, Parr, so whaddya say? Wanna be friends?"
Violet was blushing and at a loss for words. She'd never before experienced such a welcoming offer of friendship since the day she met Izuku. And from so many people her age at once as well, not to mention any of the boys who'd praised her back on the island.
"I…uh, yeah. I'd…I'd like that a lot." She smiled brushing some loose hair behind her ear before offering her phone so Ashido could eagerly add her number and exchange theirs as well.
"I added Midori's too!" She beamed "I know you two have a lot of catching up to do."
"Thanks…Mina." Violet smiled earning a delighted squeak from the acid girl who gave her a parting hug before getting on the bus, the other girls not far behind her as they said their own farewells.
As the students entered the bus, Izuku was the last one left with the Parrs.
"Uncle Bob, Aunt Helen, Violet, Dash, it was really great to see you all again, I just wish that it was under better circumstances" said Izuku
"Hey don't sweat it, kiddo." said Bob as he put his hand on his shoulder. "Just seeing you again was best highlight out of this adventure."
"Yeah, especially seeing you be one of the strongest heroes ever! Next to my dad of course" said Dash as both Izuku and Bob chuckle from his statement.
"Dad's right though, Zuku. Meeting you again is something I thought would never happen, and if meant getting trapped on island, fighting super villains, a mutant brain monster and a giant killer robot, then it was all worth it" said Violet as she hugged Izuku who hugged her back "Although, there is one thing you never told us since our reunion: why are you and friends here in America in the first place, Izuku?" Violet queried.
"Oh. Well, we're-" but before Izuku can respond he was interrupted by Aizawa who came to pick him up.
"I'm afraid we're not allowed to disclose that information yet." Aizawa stepped into the conversation. "Just know that it's a matter of national importance."
"Well, once you've rested up, you're definitely joining us for dinner Izuku. We have so much to catch up on." Helen invited Izuku. "and you're more than welcome to bring your friends too."
"I'd love that. Honestly, I was really hoping I'd see you again on this trip. I've missed you all so much." Izuku smiled tearfully as Helen pulled him into a loving hug which he happily returned. Something that didn't go unnoticed by a certain grape-head.
"We've missed you too, hon. And I know Jack-Jack's going to love you when he gets to meet his cousin. You and your friends take care, Izuku; we'll see you soon." She said as she loosened her embrace and kissed him softly on the cheek, which turned red as she did so, before she and the rest of the Parrs entered the limo with Rick.
"Midoriya..." Izuku turned around to see Kaminari and Mineta (the latter surrounded by a spiteful purple aura).
"YOU AND ELASTIGIRL?!"
"Huh!?" responded Izuku
"Get in the damn bus, you three!" ordered Aizawa as he sighed and rubbed his temples.

Back in the limo where the Parrs were being escorted back home, Rick told them everything that has happened once Syndrome's plan was revealed to him and his organization.
"We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. If he so much as sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs. The people of this country are indebted to you."
"What about Shigaraki and the League of Villains?" Helen inquired.
"The brass are already on the phone to the HPSC overseas, asking for all the information they have on him and his underlings. An attack from villains from outside of America hasn't happened since the prohibition. You could say it's shaken the people's faith in it." Stated Rick.
A spark of hope crossed Bob's eyes. "Does this mean we can come out of hiding?"
Rick chuckled. "You may want to take that up with your friends from Japan later. But I've been asked to assure you we'll take care of everything else. You did good, Bob."
"Rick, may I please borrow the limo's phone, I want to call our home and see how Jack-Jack is doing with the babysitter" asked Helen.
"Of course, Helen" Rick responded.
As soon as Helen called her home, she received the first voicemail from Kari. "Hi this Kari, I have a question about Jack-Jack, can you call me?" but Helen had a hard time hearing it since Dash was opening and closing the limo's windows constantly.
"Come on, we're in a limo" Helen asking Dash to stop.
Bob noticed how Violet didn't have her hair coving half of her face and stated "Hey, you're wearing your hair back?
"Huh, Yeah I just …Yeah" stammered Violet bashfully.
"It looks good." Bob complimented.
"Thanks, Dad." Violet smiled.
"That was so cool when you threw that car!" Dash complimented to his Dad.
"Not as cool as you running on water!" Bob complimented to Dash.
"And Mom, hey, Mom that was sweet, when you snagged that bad guy with your arm and whipped him into the other guy, that was so sweet!" Dash praised his mother, but though she smiled at his compliment, she was more focused on listening to the Kari's voicemails.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to listen to the messages, honey." said Helen.
"And Zuku! He has the coolest power ever! Did you see him when he flew at the robot with that flying kick?! He was like a green comet! " As Dash continued to ramble about their best family vacation ever, Helen kept listening to the voicemails, each more concerning than the last.
"Mrs. Parr it's me, Jack-Jack is fine, but weird this happening" ~beep.
"Jack-Jack is still fine, but I'm getting really weirded out! AH! When are you coming back?!" ~beep.
"I'm not fine Mrs. Parr! AH! Put that down, stop it! You need to call me!" ~beep.
"I need help Mrs. Parr!" ~beep.
Growing more worried, Helen gestured to Bob, bringing the phone to his ear. "Bob, listen to this".
"I'm going to call the police or somebo-" ~beep.
"Hi, this is Kari, Sorry for freaking out but you baby has special needs. Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter-", but before Helen and Bob could listen to the rest of the message, Helen immediately knew something was wrong.
"Replacement? I didn't call a replacement" stated Helen.
As soon as the limo stopped at the Parrs' house, the hero family rushed into their home to see who this supposed replacement babysitter was only to be frozen in place by none other than Syndrome who was holding Jack-Jack in his arms.
"Shh. The baby's sleeping." He said as he laughed maniacally while keeping the Parrs frozen with his ZPE.

Back at the bus with 1A, the students either talked amongst themselves about their fights on both the island and the city; discussed the secret project they were about to do; or were simply napping to rest up before arriving at DEVTECH. Izuku was about to be one of the nappers but not before contemplating everything that had happened to him and his friends. Despite the many dangerous situations and close calls that happened along the way, one good thing came from it was that Izuku got to see the Parrs again. Once things calmed down, Izuku really wanted to spend some quality time with them again, along with meeting his new baby cousin and hopefully, he can tell them why he and friends are visiting America. But just as Izuku was about to relax, the rumble of a small explosion sounded a distance from behind the bus. Aizawa stop the bus as he and the students, including those how woke up from their naps due to the sound of the explosion, looked out the window to see a plume of smoke rising from a house before a man with familiar red hair came flying out of the roof.
"It's Syndrome!" Tenya identified the attacker.
From the house, 1A saw the Parrs exiting their home and realized what happened.
"He's attacked the Parr's home!" Shoto pointed out. As the villain began to ascend towards his jet however, Shoji noticed something even more concerning with his extended eyes.
"Is that a baby?!" He saw Syndrome was indeed clutching a small infant under his arm. But not just any baby.
"Jack-Jack!" Izuku said as he flung open the bus window and leapt out.
"Midoriya!" Aizawa shouted after him as the boy began to sprint towards the Parr residence.
"Come on! We gotta help!" Kirishima rallied his classmates as they began to hurriedly leave the bus to catch up with Izuku.
"Guys!" Izuku shouted as Parrs turning around and saw him running towards them along with the rest of 1A following him.
"We saw the explosion! What's happening?!" He asked.
"Zuku, he's kidnapping Jack-Jack!" Violet said as they helplessly watched Syndrome nearing his escape. When all of a sudden, he stopped just a few feet away from the jet and began to struggle for some reason.
"Something's happening! What's happening?!" Helen questioned "Bob, throw something at him!"
"I can't! I might hit Jack-Jack!"
"Shoji, what's going on up there?!" Aizawa asked the tentacle hero who tried to get a look at the struggling villain.
"He's flailing around so much I can't make it out. But it looks like he's struggling to hold onto the baby!" And he assumed correct, as Syndrome suddenly crashed into the wing of his jet causing him to drop Jack-Jack.
"Ochako, lighten me! Hurry!" Tsu piped up. Ochako quickly removed the frog girl's gravity who then took a flying, weightless leap into the air. She shot straight up towards the falling Jack-Jack before stretching her tongue out to gently reel him into her arms.
Naturally, the baby cried, both from the fall and from being grabbed by another stranger. Though Tsu quickly began to comfort him as she gave him a friendly smile as they floated in the air.
"It's ok, Jack-Jack. I'm a friend of your siblings, Violet and Dash. Ribbit." The fact she knew his name and the mention of his brother and sister did calm the baby boy enough to reduce his crying to hiccups. But before she could calm him further, Tsu looked up and gasped when she saw Syndrome aiming his ZPE at her from the door of his jet.
"Ochako, get us down, he's gonna zap us!" The two children began to panic until they were suddenly snatched away by Helen, whom Bob had thrown up to the them. The woman then used her parachute technique whilst Ochako restored Tsu's gravity allowing the three to gently drift back down.
"Thanks, Mrs. Parr." Tsu smiled up at her, who gratefully returned the expression.
"And thank you for catching my baby, Tsu. Just look at Mommy, honey, don't struggle. You can trust Tsu, she'll protect you." Helen reassured Jack-Jack who laughed joyfully from seeing his mother.
"This isn't the end, Incredible! I will get your son, eventually! I'll get him!" Everyone looked to see Syndrome taunting them from his jet, assured of his escape.
"The bastard's gonna get away!" Katsuki cursed angrily.
"Oh no, he's not!" The group looked to see Bob holding his fancy car: the very one he'd bought with the money from his fake mission on the island.
"He may be a wise guy, but he made one fatal mistake: he messed with my family!" He roared before with a mighty throw, he hurled the car straight at the jet, the vehicle exploding on impact.
The blast flung Syndrome out of the jet and right into one of the engines. He hung onto the edge, but quickly realized that his cape was being pulled towards the turbine. As soon as he was sucked in, the turbine exploded along with the rest of Syndrome's plane. From the ground, 1A was shocked to see how the Syndrome died, well, all but one student.
"FUCK YEAH! That's what happens when you lame ass villains mess with us heroes!" Katsuki shouted excitedly and then turns towards Bob, "Way to go, pops, you finally did something fitting of America's former number one." he complimented while giving him a thumbs up and smiling.
In Bob's mind, he thought about the times he did have to kill a villain, but those were only rare occasion, and when the villain vowed to constantly threaten the lives of citizens no matter what, and Syndrome was one of those villains. Even so, he took no pleasure from this. If anything, he felt an emptiness forming in the pit of his stomach.
Back in the air, Tsu and Helen to continue calm Jack-Jack down as they descend from the sky.
"Look and Mommy and Tsu honey, don't look down," said Helen.
"Don't worry Jack-Jack, I still got you, ribbit" Tsu reassured.
As Jack-Jack giggles he saw the exploding plane that was falling towards them which Tsu and Helen didn't notice.
"Everything is all right" said Helen as she, Tsu, Jack-Jack safely landed on the ground with everyone else until the exploding plane seemingly crashed on top of them as well, destroying the Parr house in a huge explosion.
As the smoke from the explosion began to clear, it showed 1A protecting the Parrs with either their bodies or their quirks which wasn't necessary as Violet was able to protect everyone with a huge force field. Seeing this surprised everyone and they began to cheer for their survival and thanking Violet.
"WE'RE ALIVE!" scream Kirishima, Mineta, Kaminari, and Sero joyfully.
"Way to go, Violet!" said Ashido as she hugs her.
"Your quirk is really something!" complimented Jiro.
"Definitely Pro Hero material!" stated Momo.
"OOOO, I can't wait to find a way to do that with my quirk!" said Toru
As the students continued to cheer, Helen, while holding Jack-Jack, put her hand of Violet's cheek and said "That's my girl" as she smiled at her strong daughter, and she smiled back at her mom after disabling her force field.
"Does this mean we have to move again?" asked Dash since their house was gone.
Seeing his extended American family losing their home after everything they'd been through since the island, Izuku wasn't going to let their day end in tragedy.
"Mr. Aizawa, can't the Parrs come with us to DEVTECH?" He asked his teacher.
"Midoriya that's…." as Aizawa was going to respond, Izuku interrupted him.
"I-I know that our class is here for a very important project, but if it wasn't for the Parrs, some us of us might not have made it off that island." stated Izuku.
"Midoriya is correct, Sir. The Parrs' aid not only ensured our survival on the island, but they helped us discover Syndrome's and League of Villian's nefarious plot." said Iida.
"Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl have proven themselves to not only still be strong Pro Heroes, but incredible parents as well." stated Shoto.
"Yeah, Dash's speed quirk is faster than any speed heroes I've seen. Including Iida." Oijiro spoke up.
"And Violet's quirk is just as twinkly and shiny as moi." stated Aoyama.
"To deny the Parrs our aid, would make us failures as heroes." said Tokoyami as Dark Shadow came out and nodded to his response.
The students all started to vouch for the Parrs all at once and the family were very touched with how much the students cared for them despite having known them for just two days.
As the students continued to vouch for them, Aizawa activated his quirk causing the students to stop talking so that he can give them an answer.
After putting some eye drops in his eyes Aizawa said, "Before Midoriya and rest of you interrupted me, I was going to say, that's a reasonable suggestion."
"Huh!?" said the students and even the Parrs.
"The Parrs were a big help when this whole ordeal started on that island and to refuse to help them now, would be one of the most terrible things I have ever done." said Aizawa.
'What other terrible things have you done?' the students all thought at once.
Mr. Aizawa walked towards Bob and said
"Mr. Incredible, you and your family are more then welcome to come with us to DEVTECH until you're able to find a suitable new home and I'll even tell you why me and my students are in America in the first place so long as you keep it a secret." as he sticks out his hand.
Bob looks at the students with faces of anticipation and his family who also have the same expression "Erasure Head, you got a deal." as Bob shakes Aizawa's head and everyone cheers once again.
As everyone cheered, Bob felt a familiar presence. He looked across the street and saw a little boy on his big wheel tricycle
"WOW! That was totally wicked!" He shouted in amazement.
As everyone stared at their one-person audience, Izuku simply smiled and waved.
To be continued…
HE HAS RISEN BABY GIRL!
No, ladies and gentlemen, your eyes don't deceive you. My Incredible Academia is alive again! What's my excuse? Life, burnout, writer's block, boredom? How 'bout all the fucking above?!
Honestly, with how much has been happening in my life, writing in general felt like it was over for me.
So how has this crossover returned from the void? Well I'm pleased to say that this is now a collaboration between me and shadowsoulwave (known as thunderd007 on DeviantArt). I owe them big time for helping write out some of the scenes here and he will be continuing to collaborate in writing the next phase of the story. Which will be taking a few different turns than what you might think for Incredibles 2.
To those of you who have actually stuck around and or found it in your hearts to come back and read this, thank you so much for the support (even though I don't deserve after letting this crossover stagnate for three fucking years) and I hope you enjoy what's to come.
My Hero Academia belongs to Kohei Horikoshi
The Incredibles belongs to Brad Bird, Pixar and Disney
BUT IN OTHER NEWS, I've also been experimenting in drafting up a couple of brand new crossovers. Let me know your thoughts:
My Hero Hyperforce- While exploring the outskirts of the city, Izuku discovers an abandoned Super Robot. It's there that his life is transformed by the mysterious Power Primate. The Robot Monkeys are awakened and Izuku is made their leader. Their mission: to save the galaxy from the evil of the Skeleton King.
Loud 100: Bucket List of the Dead- 20 year old Lincoln Loud is in an absolute rut. He thought he'd found a good job at an animation studio but it turns out the working conditions are a living hell. His boss is a manipulative scumbag, the pay is peanuts and the hours are so draining it's all he can do to stay on his feet and sleep is his greatest luxury. But then suddenly, a zombie apocalypse breaks out and Lincoln has never felt more alive. With his newfound freedom from the daily grind, he makes a bucket list of everything he plans to do before he joins the walking dead. But more than that, he wants to enjoy those things with his family. So he sets out on the cross country road trip of a lifetime (alongside his best friend, Clyde; his old flame, Ronnie Anne and her best friend, Sid) to reunite his family and live life to the fullest until the day they all die.
