Chapter Twenty-One

~A/N~ 21 is out, and we have reached the USJ! enjoy.

~Summary~ Class 1-A picks its class president, and the USJ begins.

~Note~ So I made a mistake. I thought Mustard was a blonde after reading up on his character to describe him better. It lists that he has light brown hair. So sorry if I confused any of you. I don't wanna go back and fix it so for this fic he's blonde as I am lazy. LOL

Chapter Start!

~Wednesday Morning: U.A. Class 1-A~

The class sat quietly as the bell rang, and Aizawa stepped in. He gave a light nod seeing his class ready and waiting. Reaching his podium, he looked out over his class. "We will be starting today with a new student," Aizawa stated.

The door of the class opened, and a young blonde-haired man walked in. He stood at the front of the class, his deep brown eyes scanning everyone. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. I am Furushima Conrad. My quirk is gas, and it lets me produce several kinds of gas. I will also warn everyone that I have some anger issues that I'm currently working on. So I hope you all will be patient with me," Conrad finishes and gives a bow.

"Your seat is in front of Midoriya," Aziawa states pointing toward the green-haired woman.

"Thank you, sensei," Conrad bowed and took his seat.

"Second order of business," Aizawa started. "You need to pick a class president and vice president,"

"Oh!" Mina shot up before anyone could even fully comprehend what was said. "Mamadoriya!"

"W... What?" Izumi asked as Mina pointed at her.

"Class President! Mamadoriya," Mina said her smile as wide as it could be.

"Why me?" Izumi asked.

"Because you're totally the class mom. Literally," Toru added joining in with Mina.

"But I haven't done anything motherly to anyone here beyond my kids," Izumi countered.

"Fair point... But I still put my vote towards you," Mina laughed.

"Voting might not be a bad idea," Tenya said standing.

"Wouldn't most of us just vote for ourselves, Kero?" Tsuyu asked.

"So we add the rule. No voting for yourself?" Ochaco asked.

"That works for me," Denki said his eyes on Momo.

"Very well," Momo said standing and moving to the front of the class. She produced a small black box from her arm and then placed a piece of paper into the box. "Place your votes in here,"

One by one each student cast their vote. Once everyone had voted Ochaco, who voted last, offered to sort them.

"Jiro, Kirishima, Iida, Hakagure, and I each got one vote. One person abstained, Tsu got two votes, Yaoyorozu got five votes, and taking first Izumi got seven votes," Ochaco stated as she finished tallying the votes.

"Who didn't vote?" Tenya asked.

"That was me. I haven't gotten to know any of you yet," Conrad said simply.

"Fair enough. Thank you," Tenya replied.

"There you have it. Midoriya is the class president and Yaoyorozu is vice president," Aizawa said now standing in front of the class.

"I'll do my best to support you Midoriya-san," Momo said.

"I'm not sure if I was the right choice but I'll do my best," Izumi said giving the class a bow.

~A Few Hours Later: Heroics Class: Outside of U.A.~

Izumi stood in front of her class everyone clad in their hero suits and ready to go. She smiled seeing everyone had beaten Aizawa's time of ten minutes.

"The bus has an open floor plan so board one at a time and sit wherever you'd like. The first seat is reserved for Aizawa-sensei," Izumi explained as she flagged the class towards the bus.

"See," Mina giggled as she passed. "Mamadoriya," Izumi's face flushed for a moment.

"Get on the bus," Izumi laughed lightly kicking Mina in the butt.

"Looking forward to seeing Thirteen?" Izumi asked Ochaco seeing she was nearly vibrating in her seat. Ochaco nodded with a big smile on her face.

"Do you think she'd be willing to give me an autograph?" Ochaco asked getting a chuckle from Izumi.

"Is Thirteen your favorite hero?" Mina asked leaning over her seat.

"Yeah, I've loved space and astrology my whole life. So the space hero was kinda an easy win for the favorite hero,"

"What about you Ashido?" Izumi asked.

"Mina please," Mina stated. "But favorite... I'd have to say... Hawks," Mina smiled biting her lip. "It's a little shallow but he's so sexy,"

"Crimson Riot for me," Eijiro stated with a huge smile.

"Present Mic," Kyoka added from her spot next to Kirishima.

"Ingenium," Tenya said simply.

"Gang Orca," Tsuyu tacked on.

"I don't believe I have one," Momo says quietly.

"You're fine," Denki said smiling. "I'm pretty basic. All Might," he adds.

"Ysera," Ibara states.

"OH!" Mina suddenly squeals. "I heard you met Ysera," Mina shouted almost in Izumi's lap.

"Yes, I did. When Alexstrasza took me out for dinner we went to Ysera's restaurant," Izumi explained,

"Why did Alexstrasza take you to dinner?" Toru asked.

"Long story short. Daiki is her grandson and she wanted to get to know her grandson's mother," Izumi explained.

"That's cute," Tsu says.

"That's enough," Aizawa says standing. "We're here,"

~Unknown Bar~

Tomura stood on the ramparts in a large warehouse overlooking nearly a hundred villains. To his left as always was Kurogiri. To his right, to his chagrin, was Jirakka.

"Welcome everyone," Tomura spoke loud and clear gaining every villain's attention. "To the day of All Might's death," he added once all eyes were on him. The villains let loose a loud cheer.

"Each and every one of you is here for the sole purpose of hurting All Might in ways he'll never survive. "While my monsters," The Nomu right beneath him stood up and Chimaeron shrieked. "Will be the force to kill All Might himself. All of you are expected to bring me the head of every student in that area," Another cheer rang out. Tomura grinned as he saw not one villain backing down from the notion of killing students barely old enough to be called adults.

"To-mu-ra!" The collected villains started chanting as portals started forming all over the room.

"Well timed, Kurgiri," Tomura grinned as his army, his league, started moving through the portals. No hesitation.

~U.S.J.~

Once the class was off the bus the doors to the USJ opened and Thirteen walked out beside All Might. Thirteen waved the class forward and into the USJ. "From flash fires to earthquakes, from sinking ships to hurricane winds and rain. The U.S.J. is here to help you all learn how to best perform in almost any form of natural disaster," Thirteen explained as she waved her hand out over the expansive sight that was the USJ.

"Somethings wrong," Izumi said suddenly.

"What?" Thirteen asked as the girl ran to the top of the stairs. The class and heroes followed to see a large swirl of purple smoke taking up much of the courtyard.

"What is that?" Eijiro asked. As the smoke split a man stepped out of the smoke. He was lean with messy light blue hair and wore a black outfit with a long coat. On his arms, neck, back of his head, and face were pale hands.

Next to the handman stood what looked to be living smoke. No form appeared to be visible within the writhing smoke. The only things visible in the smoke were a pair of yellow eyes and what appeared to be a metal brace of some kind.

To the other side of the blue-haired man was a hulking creature. Pitch-black skin littered with scars. Razor-sharp teeth stood on clear display in its beak-like maw. It wore a pair of tan pants with knee pads and nothing else.

The next thing could only be described as grotesque. It didn't look even remotely human. It looked closer to a mass of mutated flesh. It had two heads with no eyes at the end of a pair of long necks. One long thin arm stuck straight up rather to the side like a normal arm. Two stubby legs and a very long tail finished off the grotesque creature's appearance.

The last one was the most basic-looking of the group. A man. Clad in a fine black suit with deep red accents. Despite his basic look, his aura screamed death.

"We need to run," Izumi said her eyes locked on the suit-clad man.

"Young Midoriya is right. Leave this to us," All Might said stepping forward. To his right, Aizawa cracked his neck while Thirteen stepped up to All Might's left.

"Midoriya I expect you to get your classmates out," Aizawa said as the two massive creatures roared and started to run towards them.

"I'll handle the big ones," All Might said before all but vanishing to meet them. Eraserhead and Thirteen glanced at each other and then took off down the stairs.

"Listen to the teachers," Izumi said backing up. "We need to go," Echos of combat could already be heard ringing out through the air.

Before the class could turn to leave the smoke person appeared before them. "Greetings," it spoke with a masculine voice. Izumi stepped forward putting her between the smoke and her classmates.

"What do you want?" Izumi growled.

"Why you of course," the spoke said its yellow eyes on Izumi. "If you come with me the rest may leave," A tendril of smoke moved forward in mock of an arm.

"No chance," Ochaco stated stepping up to Izumi's side.

"Like we'd just let her go," Mina stated taking Izumi's otherside.

"Very well," the smoke spoke before he erupted and smoke overtook everything.

~All Might vs Nomu and Chimaeron~

All Might meet the large humanoid creature first. A single punch launched it backward as the monstrous one reached him. His fist connected with its body but it didn't move.

"SHRRRRRK!" The thing screamed as both heads and arm reached to bite and grab All Might. He easily dodged back the attacks were slow and very telegraphed.

"I see you're a tank," All Might said moving in. Weaving through the beast's bites and claws. Rights and lefts echoed as the beast tanked punch after punch. As the heads reared back telegraphing another strike All Might picked his point. With a spin, he brought a roundhouse kick out and finally sent the beast flying.

Not a moment later the humanoid figure was back. All Might took the hit from the beastly man and skidded back a few feet. His smile turned to a grin. The creature was much faster than the beast but it wasn't very strong. The hit felt closer to a love tap.

"You need to put your back into it," All Might shot forward and with a single haymaker put the creature down. It didn't even try to dodge the punch.

'This thing has multiple quirks. This was made by All For One,' All Might's eyes scanned to see the beast pulling itself out of the flood zone. 'That thing could only have been made by Maliork. Which means the man in the suit is a dragon. I need to warn Eraser'

~With Eraserhead and Thirteen~

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Eraserhead," the hand-covered man said with a flourished bow. "I am the leader of The League of Villains. You can call me Shigaraki Tomura,"

"What the hell do you want?" Shota growled as his capture weapon started to float.

"All Might. Dead," Tomura stated as a wicked smile etched over his face. His eyes moved up as a whirl of smoke opened and Izumi fell out landing right in front of Tomura. "And her," Tomura reached but Izumi managed to roll away stopping in front of Shota.

"Jirakka," Izumi said to the suit-clad man.

"Runt," Jirakka smirked.

"Mission complete," the smoke stated as it reformed beside Tomura.

"Well done Kurogiri," Tomura's smile widened. Izumi pushed herself up to stand with her senseis. She was stuck now.

"Sensei," Izumi said locking eyes with Shota. The man sighed and then nodded. He knew there was no chance for her to try and run.

"Oh is the runt-" Jirakka started before jumping away as Izumi lunged forward. Jirakka wasn't ready for Izumi's near-instant shift.

~Midoriya Apartment~

Alexstrzsa smiled as she watched Daiki "battle" Eri in a color-off. Nana sat in an armchair reading. Life was good. That was when both she and Nana felt it. A chill ran down their spines as a scent reached their noses. A scent of death and decay. An odor of blood and rotting meat. It had just appeared and set off alarms in their brains. Whatever had entered their senses was powerful.

"Calling," Nana said as she stood and walked away.

"What's wrong?" Eri asked seeing Daiki looking out the window worriedly.

"I think something's wrong with Mama," Daiki said unable to pull his eyes away from the window.

~Shipwreck Zone~

Tsu almost felt relieved as she fell into the waters of the shipwreck zone. Key word Almost. She started swimming the moment she hit the water not trusting it. Her instincts were spot on as a shark man snapped at her. With a quick spin, the shark-man met her heel and unconsciousness a moment after that. With one down she took off through the water. She had seen Shinso and Shiozaki falling next to her.

Luckily a short distance away she found both of them swimming towards the surface. Here eyes tracked down to see a squid-looking figure sinking slowly their eyes stark white. One of them had knocked the squid out.

Tsu made herself seen before wrapping her tongue around them. The last thing she wanted was thorns in her tongue.

"Thanks, Tsu," Hitoshi said coughing as Tsu crawled onto the deck.

"Don't mention it," Tsu replied shaking slightly. The water was a lot colder than she'd like.

"Why was that water so cold?" Ibara asked shivering.

"Perhaps to simulate more northern waters, Kero," Tsu suggested.

"Either way it sucked," Hitoshi grumbled.

"Agreed. Now what's the plan? I'd put money on there being more villains in that water," Ibara stated keeping back from the edge. "If we're lucky they might not know we are up here and we can plan more,"

"From my quick look this ship doesn't have a rudder so we can't use it to get away, Kero," Tsu stated. Ibara looked up seeing the sun beating down on them. Water and sunlight. She had a plan

"I got this," Ibara stated a moment before her vines shot out growing faster than they ever had.

"Woah," Hitoshi said seeing the vines spreading like wildfire. Faster and faster they grew coating the ship in what felt like seconds. Ibara closed her eyes and clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters," Ibara started her prayer as her vines started stretching out faster than she'd ever pushed them.

"He restoreth my soul; He guideth me on righteous paths for His name's sake," Her vines touched the water and her heart soared. Saltwater. She had feared for a moment it would have been heavily chlorinated. Saltwater was her trump card. Her vines loved saltwater.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me," Surprised screams started echoing out of the water as her vines found villains. Some where strong enough to cut her vines but like the power of her god they persisted.

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over," More shouts and screams rang out as villains started rising from the water wrapped in vines.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever," Her prayer ended and she looked up smiling at the lights above.

"That was crazy," Hitoshi stated unable to look away from Ibara.

"Your control is impressive," Tsuyu said. Ibara took a slow breath her vines snapping off leaving her hair shortened to a bob.

"Impressive," The three students turned quickly to see a tall monstrous man couched on the ship's bow. His body was covered in what looked like coral.

"I apologize for missing one," Ibara stated. His coral-like skin must have hidden him from her vines.

"Nah your vines probably missed this loser," Hitoshi said stepping in front of Tsuyu and Ibara. "So what you get picked on for your seaskin and turned villain?"

"Listen here you little shit," the villain growled as his eyes locked with Hitoshi's. The purple-haired boy smirked as his quirk latched onto the man. He wanted to take control right away but Denki had helped him long ago with this. Don't let villains, or anyone he didn't trust, know how his quirk activated. So Hitoshi kept his eyes locked with the villains as he snapped his fingers.

"You lose," Hitoshi said as the man's eyes glassed over. "Step off the ledge and sit down," Hitoshi commanded as he walked up. The man did as he was told. Hitoshi tied the man up before grabbing a spot on the man's neck and knocking him out.

"Well done," Ibara stated as she and Tsu joined Hitoshi and the bow.

"Where to then?" Hitoshi asked looking out over the water. The three all turned their attention up as a thunderous roar echoed out.

"Please tell me I'm hallucinating that second dragon," Hitoshi said.

"Kero," Tsu croaked quietly.

"When did Midoriya get so much bigger?" Ibara questioned seeing Izumi's larger, yet still smaller, form fighting another dragon.

"She's so much bigger than she used to be and yet that other one dwarfs her," Hitoshi said worriedly.

"I believe we should move to the nearest exit," Ibara said.

"R... Right," Hitoshi said seeing the larger dragon starting to throw Izumi around.

~Mountains Zone~

Kyoka and Momo stood back to back. Momo generated a sword for Kyoka while her attention was locked on Denki who fought a few feet away. The electrical current he wrapped himself in had protected him thus far.

Denki rolled away from a swing nearly colliding with Momo. His electricity stopped in time. He stood as the villains continued to enter the area.

"Creati," Denki said getting Momo's attention.

"Y... yes?" Momo asked slightly surprised Denki used the Hero name she'd told him she wanted to use.

"Can you make me a pair of metal tonfa?" Denki asked.

"Coming up," Momo stated as a pair of metal pipes started forming out of her thigh. Denki grabbed them as they started to fall and took a new stance. It had been almost five years since he'd last used a pair of tonfa. Not since he'd lost his grandfather.

"They kinda cute... What's say we have some fun before we kill 'em," A voice called out. Denki's electricity sparked back up hearing that.

"They have been aiming to kill," Kyoka said the sword in her hand shaking slightly. 'Why can't I stop worrying about Eijiro,'

"You're right," Momo said her eyes taking a dark look Her lipids starting to form something else.

~Sky Above~

Izumi was not doing well. Her surprise attack on Jirraka had failed. He'd been able to shift fast enough that her attack was blocked. She'd been on the defensive since then. Everything she tried kept failing. Her claws and fangs couldn't get through Jirraka's scales. It should've been easy to do. She wasn't so arrogant to think she'd hurt him badly but she should've been able to.

"My scales are titanium," Jirraka growled as his tail slammed into Izumi sending her back and down. She managed to right herself before she lost too much air. She winced trying to ignore the screaming pain in her arm. One hit. That's all it took to crack something. Worry started to fill her. She couldn't beat him. Hell, she couldn't hurt him.

"My breath is hellfire," Jirraka roared as flames erupted.

"MOLTEN INFERNO!" Izumi roared back as she released her fire. It took all her willpower to keep her attack up when her flames overtook Jirraka's fire. His body was stronger but her fire was stronger. With a final push, her fire won out and Jirraka was engulfed in flames.

Izumi panted as she cut off her breath. The smoke cleared quickly and to her dismay, Jirakka remained. He was burned, but he lived.

"Well well well... The runt has some fire," Jirakka laughed as if he hadn't just been badly burned.

"I guess if your flames are Hellfire mine are Holy fire," Izumi said trying to get Jirakka talking. She had to get him talking. It was the only chance she had to rest a little.

"RUNT!" Jirakka shot forward. Izumi too tired from the fight couldn't react in time to dodge. Jirakka slammed into her plummeting them both to the ground.

~Central Plaza~

Shota was tired. He'd never had so much trouble with one person before. This Shigaraki Tomura was something else. He wasn't even out of breath. He saw Tomura bounce from side to side as he rolled his shoulders. He was enjoying this way too much. Shota risked a glance over at Thirteen. She was barely holding out against the smoke villain.

A cold chill filled Shota as he realized there was a very real chance he wasn't making it out of this. These villains were strong.

A loud shriek echoed out, gaining both villain and hero's attention. The more humanoid monster had been launched out of the building. The roof was torn open as it disappeared.

"Sensei said that would happen," Tomura said right as a pained scream drew Shota's attention back to Thirteen. His quirk sparked to life seeing the back of her suit shredded by her quirk turned on her. The smoke villain had used the distraction to land a devastating attack. The portal closed as she crumpled to the ground.

Once more their attention was pulled as something slammed into the ground near the stairs. Tomura looked passed Shota to see. Rage filled his eyes seeing Jirakka on top of his prize. His massive claw pushing her head into the ground.

"Midoriya!" Shota shouted his quirk hit the two dragons forcing their bodies to start shifting back. Jirakka much quicker than Midoriya. Apparently, her ability to shift faster made it so she could shift back slower.

"I will tear your eyes out," Jirakka growled. He didn't understand why Tomura wasn't attacking the hero while his focus was on him. Stepped forward he growled louder. The hero's quirk stopped as he felt his quirk spring to life under his skin again.

"I will enjoy killing yo-" Jirakka's taunt was cut off. Something was wrong. Why did he feel cold? Why was Tomura and the hero looking at him in shock? Why couldn't he feel his legs or arms? Then he felt it. Pain. It erupted in everything he could feel. He tried to speak but all that came out was blood. He'd been hurt? His eyes slowly drifted down. He was much higher off the ground than he should be in his human form. Who's legs were those? More blood gurgled out of his mouth. Oh, those were his. His eyes focused on the mass covering his upper body. That's when he saw the green eye of the runt. It finally clicked. When the hero's quirk ended the runt had attacked. Her near-instant transformation allowed her to land the blow. She'd shifted and bit him in half before he realized it. She'd killed him.

~End Notes~ Sorry it took so long to get this part out. Also sorry for the abrupt end of the chapter. I was thinking about adding more but I wanted to both get the chapter out and keep it from feeling too long.

I'm really hopping the next chapter will be out sooner but I won't make any promises. It really depends on how my brain works out.

So until next time my lovely readers

See you Next time

PLUS ULTRA!
