Chapter 11: Izuku Vs The Nomus

Izuku felt a little pain in his hand, the same one he used to punch Shigaraki. I lost control and went to 15% for a second there, but if I hadn't done that, he would've probably hurt Momo. Izuku then looked and noticed that the two huge Villains were going towards their unconscious master. This is our chance! He looked at his panicked friends, they were too terrified to even move. Think Izuku, think! What should I do now? What would All Might do? He said in his head, but quickly got his answer.

Izuku stood tall in front of his classmates, shielding them. "Everything is fine now! Why? Because I'M HERE!" Izuku said with a smile, trying his best to imitate his mentor.

This immediately succeeded in calming down his friends and reassuring them that everything was going to be all right.

"Everyone, let's go save Aizawa-sensei and Vlad-sensei and get out of here!" Izuku shouted as his eyes were burning with determination. His intimidating Sharingan was doing an excellent job showing his conviction and sheer will as well as freeze Kurogiri in his place, who was already panicking as he had no idea what to do now.

However, they didn't know that the battle had just started…

A Few Minutes Earlier:

"Shoji, is everyone here? Can you check?" Tenya asked as Shoji was using his tracking skills to find his classmates.

"Everyone's scattered, but they're all in this building." Shoji replied, after checking for his peers' whereabouts by creating multiple eyes and ears.

"Iida!" Thirteen called her student.

"Yes?"

"I entrust this duty to you. Run to the school and tell them about what is happening here. The alarms are not sounding, and our phones don't have signal. The alarmed system is based on infrared rays. Even though Eraser Head is erasing people's Quirks left and right, they are still not working, which means they must have someone with an interference Quirk who used it right when they arrived. It would be faster for you to run than for us to find that person." Thirteen said as she thought that this was the best course of action.

"But it would be a disgrace as a Hero to leave everyone behind-" Tenya tried to protest, but was cut off.

"We're not Heroes yet, we're still students…" Itsuka said out of nowhere, grabbing Tenya's attention.

"Huh?" Tenya questioned.

"This is the only way to save everyone. I understand your feelings, but you're the only one who's fast enough to call the Pros." Itsuka said as she was slightly shaking.

She was afraid and sick worried about Izuku and Ojiro. However, she knew that she needed to be strong now and do her responsibilities as both class representative and Hero in training. She knew that this was their one and only chance to save Izuku and Ojiro, as well as her classmates. She then went in front of Kurogiri, and was followed by the likes of Sero and Sato, who were then followed by the other present students after they managed to encourage each other. Itsuka had to be rational about their situation, and right now, she fully understood that the only way to save everyone, is to create an opening for Tenya to escape, and call for backup.

"Use your Quirk in order to save others!" Thirteen exclaimed as she too got ready to fight Kurogiri. She wasn't going to let any of her students get hurt after all.

"Even if you have no other choice, are there really idiots who talk about their plans in front of the enemy?!" Kurogiri mocked them as he dashed towards them.

"We did it because it doesn't matter if we're found out!" Thirteen replied as she activated her Quirk, and Kurogiri began to get sucked in the Black Hole.

Central Plaza:

Multiple bodies laid across the floor as Aizawa and Vlad kept on dealing with all of the minions that stood in their way. After tying up two people with his scarf and knocking them out, Aizawa looked up to see Tomura Shigaraki charging straight for him with his right hand.

"23 seconds… " Shigaraki said as he ran towards Aizawa.

"Final boss?!" Aizawa said as he threw his long scarf towards him in an attempt to immobilize him.

"24 seconds… 20 seconds… 17 seconds… "

Aizawa attempted to elbow Shigaraki in the chest, but was blocked at the last second as Shigaraki held Aizawa's elbow in a tight grip.

"Damn." Aizawa cursed as he realized his attack was stopped.

"It's hard to see because you keep moving around, but there's an instant where your hair falls." Shigaraki began as Aizawa widened his eyes. They were red and dry due to using his Quirk too much.

"That's when you have deactivated your Quirk. And the space in between has gotten shorter and shorter. Don't push yourself, Eraser Head." Tomura finished as the skin of Aizawa's elbow tore apart, revealing gory red blood bone as cracks appeared throughout the skin of his right arm.

Aizawa jumped away from Shigaraki as he felt the pain in his right elbow. "My elbow's crumbling!"

The fodder Villains took this as an opportunity to get the jump on Aizawa. But luckily, the Pro Hero dodged all of their attacks. His breathing was heavy as the fatigue of fighting a big group for a long period of time, finally took its toll on him.

"That Quirk isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group, is it? Isn't this too different from your usual job? What you're good at is a short fight after a surprise attack, right? Even so, you jumped right in to fight us from the front. Was that to put your students at ease?" Shigaraki exclaimed as he taunted Aizawa, who was able to take care of the other Villains who tried to ambush him even with one arm.

"Aizawa!" Vlad King shouted, as he charged towards his fellow teacher, but was blocked by the green monster.

"You're so cool… You're so cool…! By the way, Heroes… I'm not the final boss." Shigaraki said with a hint of malice in his voice, proved by the evil smile on his face.

Aizawa gasped as he turned his head to see the huge black colored Villain with an exposed brain right behind. He moved so fast that Aizawa never even heard him make a sound.

"Those two are… Nomus. And they're the ones you really need to worry about. Not me." Shigaraki said as the Black Nomu brought his claws down towards Aizawa.

He tried to erase the Black Nomu's Quirk, but it didn't seem to have any effect as the Black Nomu still brought his hand down and pushed Aizawa to the ground and smashed his head. He broke Aizawa's arm, who shrieked in pain.

"You can erase Quirks. That's wonderful, but it's nothing impressive in the face of overwhelming power. You might as well be Quirkless." Shigaraki mocked him with a vicious smile.

USJ Entrance:

"Black Hole, which sucks up everything and turns it all to dust. I see. That is an astounding Quirk. However, Thirteen, you are a Hero who works to rescue people from disasters. As expected, your battle experience is less than half of that of a normal hero." Kurogiri pointed out while being sucked in the Black Hole. Unfortunately for Thirteen, the Mist Villain outsmarted her and opened a portal right behind her. And so, her Black Hole began to suck her back instead.

"A warp gate!" Thirteen shouted in distress. She knew that Kurogiri had won as her Hero costume began to crumble, due to her Quirk's backfire.

"You turned yourself into dust." Kurogiri said as Thirteen finally deactivated her Quirk, but not before taking a lot of damage, as well as sustaining serious injuries.

"H-He got me…" Thirteen murmured before she collapsed on the floor.

"Sensei!" Mina yelled. The sight of her teacher made her panic.

"Iida, run! Hurry!" Monoma shouted. He was desperate now that the situation was only getting worse. They had to give it their all, right here and right now.

Iida activated his engines, and began to run to the exit. It was the only thing he could do now to help his friends and teacher, "Damn it!" He shouted as he ran, ashamed and frustrated by his weakness.

One of the children who was not scattered… We are only waiting for All Might. If the other teachers are called here, it will be hard for us. Kurogiri thought as he opened a warp gate in front of Tenya to stop him. Everyone gasped in shock as it seemed like Tenya was going to fall right through it. Their one and last hope was about to be taken away…

Everyone… was entrusted… to me! I will… Tenya thought in distress as he was only a second away from being teleported away.

Luckily though, Shihai Kuroiro, a student from Class 1-B jumped into action, as he entered Kurogiri's body and took control over it!

Name: Shihai Kuroiro

Quirk: Black. His Quirk allows him to merge his body into anything that is dark in color; whether naturally dark or dark via external circumstances, such as shadows.

"Iida, hurry! It's my first time doing this, and I don't know how much longer I can hold him!" Shihai shouted as he closed the warp gate before Tenya could get sucked in.

Tenya started to run again as fast as he can. He safely got to the door and tried to open it, but Kurogiri quickly regained control of his body again and Shihai was forced out of his body, unconscious.

"I won't let you!" Kurogiri shouted, but luckily Itsuka enlarged her hands and caught the metal piece hanging in Kurogiri's body.

Name: Itsuka Kendo

Quirk: Big Fist: Her Quirk grants her the ability to enlarge both of her hands to a gigantic size. With the increased size, comes enhanced striking power and gripping capabilities.

"This metal thing must be your weakness because in reality you have a physical body, am I right?" Itsuka questioned with a smirk, having figured out Kurogiri's weakness.

Ochaco saw a chance and ran before activating her Quirk on the metal piece. Shortly after, Kurogiri began to helplessly float in the air. "Nice assist, Uraraka." Itsuka praised Ochaco.

"Oh no, my body!" Kurogiri yelled in distress. This last attack gave Tenya enough time to run away.

"I had to buy enough time for Iida to escape." Ochaco replied with a smile as Tenya finally opened the USJ front gates.

"Engine boost!" Iida shouted as he exited the USJ ran to the school building to get help.

He's going to call for support. It's game over. Kurogiri thought, as he decided to go back to Tomura.

Central Plaza:

Meanwhile, Vlad King was now facing the Green Nomu.

"Get out of my way!" Vlad King shouted as he tried to punch the Green Nomu with a blood hardened fist. However, the Green Nomu was able to easily catch his fist. "That's not a problem." Vlad King said with a hint of confidence. His blood then shot from his hand and started to engulf the Nomu's arms and restraint him. Vlad King smiled as he thought that he managed to take out the Nomu, but felt a sudden pain in his hand.

He stepped back and pulled back his hand. He looked at it and found it injured, covered in cuts and blood. "How's this possible?" Vlad King questioned. He looked at the restrained Nomu, but the hardened blood was immediately shattered, and what he saw shocked him. He saw sharp bones coming out of the Nomu's arms.

Seeing Vlad's shocked expression, Shigaraki began to laugh like a psychopath, "You know Vlad, I wanted to test this Nomu specifically against you. I wanted to see how your Blood Control will fare against his Bones Control. So please, make it entertaining as long as you can." Shigaraki sinisterly said.

Something's wrong, a Quirk like that one shouldn't be strong at all. In fact, it should hurt him when his bones pierce his muscles and skin like that. Also, he should have a limit to how many bones he could use just like my blood. But then why… why is their leader so confident in his abilities?

Suddenly, the Nomu pointed his fingers towards Vlad, and started to shoot his sharp long claws at him. Vlad made a blood shield, but unfortunately for him, the sharp claws shattered the shield and pierced his body.

"Tsk, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. I am sure you didn't slack off in your science class, but let me tell you something." Shigaraki began with a mocking tone. "When I said that Green Nomu can control his bones, I meant every bone in his body. He can also shape it and mold it however he likes. So please, please show me your best Hero, my Nomu here is really eager to fight." Tomura taunted the Blood Hero, proud by his Nomu's work.

Vlad King stood up and charged at the Nomu, whose claws came out of his knuckles this time. Vlad King hardened his fists with his blood and broke the Nomu's claws, only for them to quickly regenerate and almost pierce his side. Luckily for Vlad, he managed to evade the attack just in time, before uppercutting the Nomu. However, the Nomu did manage to scratch his side and tear his Hero Costume.

Despite his injuries and the blood loss, Vlad tried to restraint the Nomu by shooting his blood and hardening it to effectively immobilize the Nomu, but the Nomu managed to break free with his brute strength and claws. It also seems like the claws became much sharper, longer and stronger than before.

"It's no use Vlad. Each time you break his bones, they'll grow stronger." Tomura pointed out.

"I have to admit, he's strong, but can he get past this?"

Vlad decided to the hardened his upper body with his blood. Something that usually put a strain on him, but there was no other choice. He charged at the Nomu again and dodged his claws before he caught his arm and flipped him over, which was an incredible feat, considering the monster's weight. Having no intention to stop here, Vlad hardened his leg with his blood and tried to land a devastating kick to the Nomu's chest.

However, to his surprise, the Nomu's thoracic cage bones came out and protected him like a shield. Vlad was shell shocked to see that the bones didn't even break under his attack.

"Aaaghh!" The Nomu impaled Vlad's thighs with two rods of bones that came out of his wings, causing him to shriek in pain.

The Nomu then stood up again in front of Vlad and caught him in a monster hug, before Vlad felt his body being pierced everywhere by sharp bones.

"How? How is he able to use his bones like this…? Taking them out of his body like they were disposable, and even when… even when I broke them, he never felt any pain." Vlad said as he fell on the ground, with a puddle of his blood forming underneath him.

"You see Vlad, Bones Control isn't the only Quirk Green Nomu has. He also has Bones Regeneration and Bones Hardening. Combine those with his Bones Control and you get the perfect combination. Unlike you who can only fight short battles so that you don't lose a lot of blood, Nomu can fight endless battles." Tomura Shigaraki said before giving the fallen Hero one last malicious laugh.

"You w-won't… get aw-away-" The Hero passed out.

"Vlad! Vlad!" Aizawa shouted, concerned about Vlad's condition.

Aizawa's eyes turned red as he activated his Quirk again and stared straight at Black Nomu, attempting to erase his Quirk again. But just like last time, Black Nomu was completely unaffected and snapped Aizawa's other arm as he grunted in pain.

It's like he's breaking a stick… I'm sure I erased his Quirk. That means he is just that powerful naturally. He's as strong as All Might! Aizawa said in his mind as Black Nomu picked his head up and smashed into the ground, creating cracks in the concrete, and inflicting even more damage as the battle was completely one sided. Shortly after, he dislocated Aizawa's broken arm, causing him to yell out in pain.

Back To The Present:

"Everyone, let's go save Aizawa-sensei and Vlad-sensei and get out of here!" Izuku shouted as his eyes were burning with determination. His intimidating Sharingan was doing an excellent job showing his conviction and sheer will as well as freeze Kurogiri in his place, who was already panicking as he had no idea what to do now.

"Yes!" Izuku's friends responded with a hint of relief, now that the situation was turning in their favor.

"Ojiro grab Vlad-sensei, Awase you grab Aizawa-sensei, Momo and Ibara go with them to the Entrance, regroup with the others." Izuku said with a hint of authority.

"But what about you, Midoriya?" Momo asked, concerned about her classmate.

"We can't leave you behind man." Awase added.

"I'll slow down the Mist Villain. Don't worry, I know his weakness and I'll catch up to you in no time. I got you in this mess in the first place, so it's only right for me to stay."

Ojiro looked at Izuku for a moment, "You better come back, I still have a score to settle with you."

"I promise we'll have our rematch Ojiro. Now, go!" Izuku said before giving him a thumbs up.

Ojiro and Awase carried their teachers and began to run with Ibara to the Entrance. Momo was about to do so, but Izuku stopped her.

"Yaoyorozu, I need you to create a sword, a Japanese style sword." Izuku requested. Momo had an uneasy look, still hesitant about leaving Izuku alone, but if this is how she can help him, then so be it. She created the sword and handed it to him. "Thank you, now go." Momo then followed the other three students.

Izuku then turned to face Kurogiri. He wasn't going to let the Mist Villain go anywhere near his friends.

"I see you want to play Hero, huh?" Kurogiri mocked the Sharingan user, clearly underestimating him.

"Much more than you want to play Villain. Look around you, this game is over. The Pros are coming, your leader is down. Give up now, it will be better if you retreat."

"Indeed, you're right. However, my boss here has a short temper, and I'm sure he will be more than happy if I at least manage to capture the one who messed up his fun."

"Come at me and try your luck then." Izuku replied, taunting the Villain.

Kurogiri charged at Izuku, thinking that Izuku was just your normal cocky and arrogant child with a strong physical enhancement Quirk. But unfortunately for him, he was wrong as Izuku immediately jumped and grabbed the metal piece hanging in his body. He held him down, much to the Villain's surprise who didn't expect Izuku to know about his weakness. After all, he was doing a much better job hiding it this time.

"What? How?!" Kurogiri questioned in confusion. His weakness was exploited once again.

"My eyes here see through everything. From the moment you appeared in front of us at the Entrance, I saw that metal piece you were hiding within your mist." Izuku replied.

"I see, I underestimated your Quirk and judgement." Kurogiri replied as he acknowledged Izuku's skills.

"I also know that the key to kill All Might are these two, am I right?"

"Indeed, but what will you do about them, you can't possibly defeat them. Your teachers tried and are barely alive now."

"I don't need to. I already know that they were part of an experiment and that they are programmed to protect your boss here if he's unconscious. So, as long as I am holding you here and not attacking him, I should be fine. Give up now, you lost Villains." Izuku said and intimidated the Villain with his Sharingan to strike fear in him.

"So young and naïve, look over there."

Izuku looked at Shigaraki and saw him getting up. What the- 15% should have been enough for him to sleep the whole day or something. This is not good, the Pros should arrive in a few minutes, but someone should hold them until then. Izuku thought. It seems like it was too early to celebrate.

Shigaraki began scratching his neck before saying, "You moved well back then. Your Smash- Are you a follower of All Might's?" He questioned in a very angry tone.

"Yes, I'm going to become the Greatest Hero, just like him." Izuku replied with a hint of defiance.

"Well, I was planning on killing you either way. But now, I'll make sure to make it as painful as possible." Tomura replied as he was now pissed. After all, he hated All Might's very existence. "Green Nomu, kill him."

The Green Nomu charged at Izuku with his claws, trying to pierce him in his chest. But Izuku dodged the attack and delivered an uppercut to the Villain's chin. The Nomu fell on his back and Izuku stepped on his claws, breaking his bones, only for them to regenerate again.

"I see… So, Bones Control and Bones Regeneration are his Quirks." Izuku pointed out. He didn't exactly know what his Quirks were per se, but he knew that the monster had multiple Quirks.

"Oh, we have a perceptive student here, call me impressed. But even if you know about his Quirks, what are you going to do about it, brat?" Tomura sarcastically mocked Izuku.

"Well, I'll break his bones until he can no longer regenerate them." Izuku replied. He was sure that there must be some kind of limit to his Bones Regeneration Quirk.

The Green Nomu stood up and started to shoot his long sharp claws from his fingers, but Izuku was able to dodge them easily and deflect some of them with his sword, thanks to the Sharingan.

"I see, those eyes of his." Kurogiri murmured as he started to understand what Izuku meant by his eyes could see everything.

"What's wrong Kurogiri?" Shigaraki asked.

"I think that the boy may have two Quirks, or maybe a combined one. At first glance, you can see that he has a physical enhancement Quirk, but then how is he predicting the Nomu's attacks, how did he discover my weakness immediately. His eyes are not normal." Kurogiri deduced.

"I can see that his eyes are not normal, but having multiple Quirk… Is that even possible? He's not a Nomu you know." Tomura replied, curious about Izuku's eyes. As far as he knew, only his master had multiple Quirks.

The Green Nomu then started to grow sharp bones from his elbows and knees now, and went straight for Izuku.

"Lowest Round Kick!" 

Izuku shouted as he ducked under the sharp bone coming from the Nomu's elbow, and as the Nomu tripped off his feet, Izuku prepared his next attack.

"Texas Smash!" 

Izuku hit the Nomu, right in his guts and sent him flying away.

Tsk, just before I delivered that Smash, he used his thoracic cage's bones to block my attack. I managed to break his bones, but my punch didn't do as much damage as I wanted to. Izuku said in his mind.

However, just then, a bony rod came out of the Nomu's wing and shot at Izuku. Izuku was taken aback by surprise as he didn't expect the Nomu to recover that quickly. Luckily for him, he managed to cut it in half with his sword at the last second.

Hmm, that's either some excellent reflexes he got there or excellent perception. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I'm leaning towards the latter. Kurogiri thought as he carefully observed Izuku.

"ROOAAAAARRR!" The Green Nomu let out a mighty roar as it stood up again. He was angry at Izuku and began to pull out his vertebral column from his spine.

Izuku watched this whole process in disgust as he has never seen someone pull his spine like that.

After fully pulling it out, the Green Nomu began to swing it like a sword, ready for round two.

Izuku took his fighting stance and firmly held his sword. They stared at each other before Izuku charged at it. Sharp bones spikes shot at him from the Nomu's kneecaps, but Izuku deflected them all with his sword. Once he got close enough, both of them swung their swords and clashed with each other. Izuku noted that the bone was as hard as steel.

Izuku and the Nomu then began to clash swords together at a high speed. Izuku tried to slash his chest, but the Nomu blocked his attack. The Nomu then tried to shoot bone spikes at Izuku again from his kneecaps, but Izuku had already perceived his attack with the Sharingan and jumped over the attack.

"That was close." Izuku said to himself.

However, just then, the Nomu swung his sword as fast and strong as he can. Izuku tried to parry it with his own sword, but was sent flying away.

Unfortunately for him, this wasn't the end as the Nomu began to shoot bone spikes from his fingers. Izuku tried to dodge the incoming attacks, but one of them managed to impale his shoulder before he fell on the ground with a loud thud.

"AAAHHHH!" He yelled out in pain as blood dripped from his shoulder. It was painful, but not as painful as breaking one's bones. So, he grabbed the bone spike and winced in pain as he pulled it out of his shoulder. He was panting but still standing. He had to continue fighting because he was currently the only capable of protecting his classmates right now.

Come on Izuku, Kurogane-sensei trained you to be better than this. Sure, he didn't prepare you to fight a monster that uses its spine like a sword but still! Izuku thought as he firmly gripped his sword.

Shigaraki made an evil smirk, "It's no use kid! There's nothing you can do to defeat a Nomu that was specifically made to kill your trash of a Symbol of Peace! Just give up and accept your death with grace!"

Hearing this Izuku just scoffed, "Give up…"

"Still Izuku, with everything that happened to you, you ought to be proud of yourself. No matter how much life put you down, you stood up again, you never gave up." Izuku remembered his mother's words.

Then, his memories shifted to another distant memory.

*Music: Naruto OST -Strong and Strike*

"Mom… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… I promise you… I promise you that I'll never give up ever again!"

"What's so funny kid?!" Shigaraki asked with a hint of annoyance.

"What's funny is that you think I'd ever give up. But I won't… I'll stall you until the Pro Heroes come and protect my friends! Because I-I…"

Izuku began as the green lightning around him began to violently swirl around him and the scent of ozone filled the air. His Sharingan began to spin too as it showed his conviction and determination.

"…I never give up and I never go back on my word because that's my Hero… MY HERO WAY!"

Izuku shouted as he charged at the Green Nomu once again. His charge alone created gusts of wind as he ran so fast towards the monster. Shigaraki and Kurogiri were taken aback by surprise as they were having a hard time tracking Izuku's speed. They didn't expect the Sharingan user to be this fast.

The Green Nomu tried to shoot bone spikes at him again from his knuckles and knees, but Izuku cut them all with his sword at an incredible rate and speed. After slashing the last one in two perfect halves and managing to get closer, the Nomu swung his sword at him, trying to cut him down.

However, Izuku just threw his sword in the air over the Nomu and ducked under the attack as he slid between his legs. He then caught the sword and did a quick turnaround before he slashed his calves.

"RRRRIIIIII!" The Nomu shrieked in pain. Seeing this, Shigaraki's and Kurogiri's eyes widened in shock.

Just who's this kid?! Kurogiri yelled in his mind.

"I'm not done yet!" Izuku shouted as he quickly followed with a devastating kick to the monster's spine, breaking it in the process before the Nomu was sent flying away.

Izuku then jumped high in the air and threw his sword at the Nomu. His sword impaled his back and stopped him in his place as it was pinned to the ground.

"Come, Young Midoriya. This is your Hero Academia!"

Izuku remembered All Might's words. He's a UA student! This is his Hero Academia now, and he was going to protect it from the Villains!

"Remember this because I, Izuku Midoriya, am the Hero who will become the next Symbol of Peace!" Izuku yelled as he pulled back his fist. The pain in his shoulder hurt him as blood dripped from it, but he wasn't going to stop there. He was going to finish this.

"Detroit Smaaaaash!"

Izuku brought his fist down and landed a solid punch right to the Nomu's face. The punch was powerful enough to create a crater in the ground as it came down with a loud BOOM! Shigaraki coughed as dust filled the area, but once it settled and cleared, he only saw Izuku standing and his Nomu in a bloody mess and helplessly lying on the floor. He focused on Izuku's eyes and looked at them and only saw a burning inferno in them, but what mostly irritated him is that they reminded him of All Might.

"Oi, oi, this Nomu was made to kill All Might, not to get defeated by a mere kid!" Tomura angrily shouted as he scratched his neck, blood could be seen dripping from it. He was clearly furious and pissed off.

"Tomura, it's best for us to leave now. That kid managed to defeat the Nomu and the Pros will arrive any minute now. I'll retrieve the Nomu-" Kurogiri began but was interrupted.

"NO! I'm not leaving before I kill this brat! Look at him, he's only fifteen but he defeated a Nomu, Kurogiri! A Nomu! If we let him go alive, he'll prove to be a bigger threat in the future!" Shigaraki shouted at him.

Kurogiri then watched as his young master charged at the Sharingan Hero with his hands outstretched.

Izuku quickly picked his sword before he dodged Shigaraki's hand. He didn't know what was his Quirk, but seeing as Shigaraki ran with his hands outstretched like that, he knew that something bad would happen if the Villain touches him.

"Die, you brat!" Shigaraki shouted as he tried to touch Izuku with his five fingers.

As Izuku dodged Shigaraki's incoming hand once again, he noticed the sudden portal that was opened behind him by Kurogiri.

"Oh, no!" Izuku jumped back and kicked Shigaraki in his chin before he did a backflip over the portal and landed on his hands first before flipping and landing on his feet.

"Phew, that was close…" Izuku let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

He then quickly grabbed his sword and jumped towards Shigaraki before he stomped his chest, pushing him down on the floor and brought his sword right before his face.

"Surrender, it's over now." Izuku calmly said.

Shigaraki then grabbed Izuku's sword and Izuku thought he was just trying to resist. However, he gasped in shock as his sword crumbled and turned into dust.

Name: Tomura Shigaraki

Quirk: Decay, Tomura's Quirk allows him to disintegrate whatever he touches with all five fingers. It will take effect whether the target is organic or not. The disintegration spreads quickly and will spread through the victim's whole body if they don't amputate the decaying body part. His Quirk can even spread beyond what he's touching, allowing him to disintegrate large groups of enemies instantly.

"What's this?" Izuku questioned.

Izuku jumped back as he saw Shigaraki outstretching his hand towards him. He wasn't going to let him touch him.

"AAAAHHHHH!" Izuku felt a sudden pain as two rods of bones pierced him through his back.

He looked back and was surprised to see the Green Nomu back again! This time he had bones coming out of his shoulders, elbows, knees, and knuckles. It seems like was getting serious now.

You have to be kidding me, no matter how much I hit him he gets up! It seems like he can only regenerate his bones since there's blood coming from his mouth, meaning that he's suffering internal damage, but still!

"I finally got you kid." Izuku looked in horror at Shigaraki whose hand was coming closer and closer.

No! I can't die here! I can't die now! I have to escape! Izuku thought as his eyes widened in panic. He couldn't move because of the two rods.

Izuku closed his eyes as Shigaraki's hand was only one centimeter away. Was he going to die now without even passing One for All? Was he going to fail All Might?

Collapse Zone:

"DIE!" Bakugo shouted as he fired an explosion and took out two Villains at the same time. Meanwhile, Kirishima who had hardened his arms managed to take out a Villain too.

Both of them panted as it looked like they took down a large group on their own. "Is that all of them? They're so weak." Bakugo pointed out.

"All right. Let's hurry up and go save the others! If we're here, then everyone else should be inside USJ, too." Kirishima said as he was concerned about the safety of his classmates. "Besides because we ran off ahead, we slowed Thirteen down. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that fog, then this wouldn't have happened!" Kirishima added in frustration as he was ashamed of himself. "As men, we have to take responsibility for what we did!"

"If you want to go, then go by yourself! I'm gonna kill that warp gate." Bakugo angrily said as he hated the fact that he couldn't defeat Kurogiri at that time.

"What? You're gonna act childish at a time like this? Besides, that guy's attacks are-" Kirishima began with a hint of anger, thinking that going back to defeat Kurogiri was more important than saving the others for Bakugo.

"Shut up! That gate bastard is the enemy's in and out. I'm gonna cut off their gateway route for when the time comes. It's not like we don't have a way to fight the fog." Bakugo replied, having enough of Kirishima's rambling. At the same time, a Villain with an invisibility Quirk was trying to sneak up on him and jumped at him once he got close enough.

"Stop your chit-chatting! Since you've left your guard down-" He began, but Bakugo caught him by his head and fired an explosion. The Villain was clearly wrong about Bakugo lowering his guard.

"Anyway, if these small fries are the ones assigned to us, pretty much everyone'll be fine, right?" Bakugo added.

"That reaction time was amazing…" Kirishima murmured to himself as he was amazed by Bakugo's skills. "Anyway, were you always so calm and rational?" He asked. "I thought you were more like—DIE! DIE! DIE!"

"I'M ALWAYS CALM AND RATIONAL, YOU SPIKY-HAIRED PUNK!" Bakugo shot back.

"Oh yeah, that's more like it." Kirishima said.

"Hmph. Then go if you want to!" Bakugo said as he threw the Villain away.

"Wait! Wait! Believing in our friends! That's really manly Bakugo! I'll follow you!" Kirishima said as he hardened his arms again.

Izuku closed his eyes as Shigaraki's hand was only one centimeter away. However, just then, he heard a familiar voice, causing him to reopen his eyes.

"Get away from him!" A white blur kicked Shigaraki, sending him flying away.

"Ojiro, what are you doing here?!" Izuku asked, surprised to see him here.

"I came because I was worried. I couldn't let you fight the main Villains alone, so once the others took Vlad-sensei, I immediately came back, and I'm glad I did." He explained, before taking a good look at Izuku. "Midoriya! You're hurt! You look terrible!" Ojiro shouted in distress. After all, Izuku had two rods coming out through his chest, and his shoulder was bleeding and he was covered in bruises.

"There's no time to worry, help me quickly." Izuku weakly replied.

Ojiro then used both of his hands to break the rods one by one. After that, Izuku breathed in and pulled out the bony rods from his chest.

"Aaghh! Don't worry I'm fine." Izuku let out a grunt. He took a few heavy breaths to recover, "See that big Green guy over there."

"Yes, what about him?"

"That guy has four Quirks. He has wings, Bone Regeneration, Bone Control and some kind of Bone Hardening I think."

"Do you have any plans to defeat him?" Ojiro asked.

"Yes, you see, we have to break his bones, faster than he can regenerate them, he must have some sort of limit after all. Only problem is that we also need to attack him as fast as we can, or he'll hurt us with his bones. Be careful because he has long range attacks too so follow my lead because it's hard to get close." Izuku explained his plan as he stood up again.

"Right." Ojiro responded.

"More of these annoying kids are coming, but it doesn't matter now that my Nomu has gotten serious, they don't stand a chance." Tomura exclaimed with a hint of confidence. "Nomu kill them!"

Izuku started to run towards the Green Nomu, followed by Ojiro. His movements were now sloppy because of his injuries, but he had to push himself harder.

The Nomu started to shoot his bone spikes from his knees and fingers at them once again.

"To the right!" Izuku said, as he and Ojiro dodged the incoming attacks.

"Now to the left…! Now jump!"

Izuku instructed as both teens charged at the monster. However, just then, the Nomu began to focus his attacks on Ojiro and shoot more bone spikes from his chest now, using his thoracic cage.

Ojiro froze in his place as he knew that there was no way he could dodge all of them. But Izuku quickly pushed him out of the way as he took some of the attack. He managed to dodge many of them, but some managed to graze him and Ojiro.

"Midoriya!" Ojiro cried out.

"I'm okay! We have to keep g-" Izuku was cut off as the Nomu delivered a powerful uppercut and sent him flying away.

"You bastard, how dare you?!" Ojiro shouted as he was enraged.

He aimed a punch at the Nomu, but the monster evaded the attack with a sidestep and moved around Ojiro. The Nomu then tried to hit him with his knee and impale him with the sharp piece of bone coming out of it.

*Music: Naruto OST -Spin and Burst*

However, before he could, Izuku landed a devastating kick to his head as he gritted his teeth, certainly from the pain. Ojiro decided to follow Izuku's attack and landed a solid hit to the Nomu's side. Both of their attacks managed to push him back.

Izuku then picked Ojiro and threw him towards the Nomu who was still stunned from the last attack Once he did though, he was smacked by Ojiro's tail. However, it didn't do much damage as he tried to catch Ojiro, but was hit by a sudden pain. It was Izuku, who had retrieved his old staff and impaled the Nomu's chest, causing the Nomu to shriek in pain.

"That's payback for earlier." Izuku said but took the full brunt of a punch to the face and was knocked away.

Ojiro tried to punch the Nomu, but he too was smacked away.

Both teens quickly recovered, looked at each other and nodded as they began to run towards the Nomu again. Having enough, the Nomu flapped his wings and hovered above them as he began to shoot his sharp bone spikes again while the two boys ran side by side. They managed to evade each and every attack, however the numbers of spikes increased more.

Seeing this they both jumped and made a turn midair, placed their feet against each other and jumped, perfectly evading the attack. Each one of them then charged towards the Nomu from each side.

After that, the Nomu did a quick 180 degrees turn as he fired bone spikes at the two of them. Luckily though, both teens managed to jump in the air towards the Nomu, who had to regenerate his bones to resupply his ammo.

Izuku then did a front flip and delivered an axe kick to Nomu's back while Ojiro also did a front flip, but hit him with his tail.

"Manchester Smash!"

"Ojiro's Special: White Dragon!"

The combined attack was too powerful that the Nomu kissed the concrete. The creature then tried to stand up again, but was hardly able to do so as he stammered.

The two teens smirked at each other as they saw the Nomu's regeneration getting weaker.

"You brats are really persistent. Green Nomu, what are you doing?! Kill them!" Tomura ordered the Nomu.

"ROOAAAARR!"

Once his master's orders registered in his head, he charged at them and tried to cut them down with the claws coming out of his knuckles. Izuku ducked and slid between the monster's legs while Ojiro dodged by taking a step back. Seeing both of them preparing for an attack, the Nomu tried to use his thoracic cage to protect himself.

"Now Ojiro, show him the power of youth just like Kendo-sensei taught us!" Izuku shouted.

"All right let's go and show him the spirit of youth!" Ojiro smirked.

"Double Twin Strike!" Both of them yelled as Izuku hit him from the back and Ojiro from the front. The power of the double twin strike was strong enough to break the Villain's thoracic cage.

However, they were not done yet. Ojiro jumped and kicked the Nomu's head with a roundhouse kick, stunning him before Izuku pulled his fist back.

Meanwhile, the students who were watching from the Entrance were amazed by the coordination between the two teens, and the effort they're putting despite being severely injured. Their teamwork was nothing short of amazing as they were making quick work of the same monster who defeated their teacher earlier. And now, they were witnessing the climax of this battle as Izuku was going to defeat that monster.

"Get him Izuku…" Itsuka murmured as she hoped that the Sharingan user would finally defeat that monster.

"Deku…" Ochako murmured too, worried about Izuku but hoping that he would win.

"-Do it Midoriya!"

"-Show him what you're made of!"

"-Finish him!"

The students at the Entrance shouted as they cheered for Izuku.

They're counting on me! They're all counting on me! I can't fail them or else I won't be able to call myself a Hero! Izuku thought as he mustered all of his strength.

"GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!" Everyone shouted.

Resonating deep within him, the past wills and power of One for All echoed in his body, granting even more power within him, before he clenched his fist.

"Texas Smaaaaash!"

Izuku cried at the top of his lungs as blood came out of his injured shoulder and chest, but it didn't matter because he had everyone's support and he was going to defeat that Nomu no matter what. His fist hit the Nomu and sent him flying away with an explosive power!

Having no way to defend himself, the Nomu suffered severe internal damage, which was evident by the blood that came out of his mouth. He then hit the ground with a loud thud and laid there.

Silence filled the USJ for a moment. Everyone was anxious to know what happened including Shigaraki and Kurogiri who were too shocked to see their Nomu defeated.

Izuku and Ojiro were taking heavy breaths as they were tired. However, they had to make sure that they have managed to defeat the Nomu. Both teens stood above the knocked down Nomu, unable to determine if they got him or not.

"Did we get him?" Ojiro asked.

"Yeah, I think so-"

However, Izuku panicked as he noticed the bones all over the Nomu's body coming out again.

"Ojiro jump!" Izuku shouted in distress before he and Ojiro jumped back.

At that moment, bone spikes shot out from all over his body at a great speed. Both teens tried to dodge them, but some of them hit them as there was too many. But thanks to his Sharingan, Izuku managed to catch one of the bone spikes. He pulled his arm back midair and threw it at the monster with all of his strength.

"RRRIIIIIII-!" The monster cried out as the bone spike impaled his throat. The creature began to make sudden moves as it struggled to breathe, but it eventually stopped moving at all.

"Midoriya-"

"Yes Ojiro, we did it. This time we won!" Izuku said with a smile.

That last attack was probably a desperate one to try to kill us, one that would've left him vulnerable since he molded all of his body's bones into spikes. It would've taken him some time to regenerate.

But unfortunately for our young Heroes, they had forgotten about the other Nomu in their moment of victory. The Black Nomu appeared in a flash and grabbed the two of them before smashing them into the ground, creating cracks in the concrete. Shigaraki then approached the other Nomu and pulled out the bone spike out his throat and turned it to dust. Shortly after, the Green Nomu was breathing again.

"No way! We were so close!" Izuku said in frustration.

"But we did our best! Why? Why wasn't it enough?! How did we fail?!" Ojiro replied, he too was frustrated at his own weakness.

"Well, well, I have to say I am impressed. You two are definitely excellent students. But play time is over now. What you did to my Nomu really angered me and I'm not in a good mood today to be merciful." Shigaraki angrily said. He then moved closer towards Izuku and grinned.

"If you think you've won then you're dead wrong. All Might will be here in any second now and he will kick your ass." Izuku retaliated as he moved his head to look at Shigaraki despite the Nomu's grip.

"You! The All Might wannabe! You especially irritate me, thinking you can save everyone like him! Nomu torture him!" Tomura angrily shouted as he was pissed off by Izuku. He hated him now as much as All Might. The scene he saw back then when everyone counted on him to defeat the Nomu and save them made him want to throw up.

Hearing his master's orders, the Nomu lifted Ojiro with one hand before he brought his foot down and stomped Izuku, crushing his ribs.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Izuku screamed loudly as he felt his ribs easily breaking like a stick. He was in a whole new world of pain.

"Izuku!" "Deku!" Both Itsuka and Ochako shouted in distress worried about the Sharingan user.

Seeing this, the students at the Entrance began to panic. They were terrified and they were losing hope. What was taking the Pros so long to get here?

Sato and Shoji prepared to enter the battle. They weren't going to let their classmate carry their burden anymore. However, they were stopped by someone.

"AAAHHH!" Izuku was yelling again, until Shigaraki raised his hand for the Nomu to stop.

"So, Midoriya. Do you still want to be a Hero or will you give up?" He taunted.

"Midoriya tell him no, please tell him no." Ojiro pleaded. He couldn't bear to see his friend suffer like that anymore.

"I-I will be a… Hero, and I'll make sure… to kick your ass… before putting you in jail." Izuku replied. His breaths were getting heavier, and blood was coming out of his nose. He could pass out at any moment now.

Shigaraki's eyes widened as he angrily glared at Izuku. "You insolent brat! I'll show you that you're no Hero!" He angrily shouted before he grabbed Ojiro's tail and activated his decay.

"Ojiro! NO!" Izuku shouted as his friend yelled out in pain. His tail's skin and muscles were crumbling, and in a few moments, he would meet his demise as his whole body will turn to dust.

Izuku raised his injured arm and charged 100% of One for All in his finger. He was going to kill this bastard once and for all. He won't let Ojiro die because of him!

One for All 100%!

"Del-"

Izuku stopped as he noticed Shigaraki's decay not working anymore. It suddenly just stopped.

"Eraser Head, ruining my fun again!" He said as he looked behind him where he saw Aizawa. He was standing thanks to both Ochaco and Itsuka helping him. His eyes were red, and his hair was floating, which meant that his Quirk was activated.

"Green Nomu, Black Nomu, let's go kill them before the Heroes come. Kurogiri open the portal, we're going home soon." Tomura said as he and the Nomus went to kill the students and teachers. The Green Nomu was fully healed too.

No! I can't, I can't let them kill them. I have to do something… But I'm very weak… I might pass out in any moment now… Some successor I turned out to be… Can't even protect those who are close to me. Izuku thought as he was ashamed of himself. But just then, he got an idea.

"Ojiro… can you stand?" Izuku asked in a very weak voice.

"I think I can manage, but I'm too tired to fight anymore and I am terribly wounded. What about you?" He weakly replied.

"I have one last special attack. I'm sure I can take out the leader of the Villains with it. If I take him out, the Nomus will automatically stop, since they seem to only obey him."

"Tell me your plan Midoriya."

Tomura was now approaching Aizawa and the girls, "First, I'll make you watch my Nomus kill your precious students, and then I will kill you myself Eraser."

"SHIGARAKI!"

Tomura looked behind him, and saw Izuku flying really fast towards him.

What the-?

A Few Seconds Earlier:

"I want you… to throw me with everything you've got towards… Shigaraki." Izuku said, completely serious about it.

"You want me throw you with everything I got towards the leader?" Ojiro questioned, having second thoughts about this already.

"Yes, I'll use my strongest attack and take him out. Can you do it?"

"I can't, I don't have enough strength to do it. I won't be able to throw you that far."

"What the fuck happened to you, Deku?" Bakugo asked. He was so shocked to see Izuku in this terrible state.

"Midoriya! You're hurt so badly, you need help!" Kirishima added.

"Kacchan?"Izuku was surprised to see Bakugo here. "I got defeated… by the Villains. However, I have one last special move to take them out. I know you might hate this but can you help-" Izuku began, but was interrupted by Bakugo himself.

*Music: The Raising Fighting Spirit -Naruto theme*

"I will."

"Kacchan, I know that you want to defeat the Villains by yourself to prove your- Wait you will?" Izuku asked in shock. He couldn't believe that Bakugo just accepted to team up with him to defeat the Villains.

"Yes, now explain your plan before I change my mind."

He's willing to cooperate with me if it means taking down the Villains to save the others. I guess All Might was right, Kacchan really is changing!

Izuku then explained his full plan to Bakugo before the latter picked him up.

"DON'T GET ME WRONG DEKU, I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR STRONGEST ATTACK, NOTHING ELSE. THAT AND THE FACT THAT MY TARGET IS THE WARP GATE, I WON'T LET THESE FUCKING VILLAINS GET AWAY SO EASILY!" Bakugo said while in reality, he wanted to help Izuku take care of the Villains and save everyone, before anyone else gets hurt.

"Right, thank you Kacchan."

"DON'T THANK ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT…! JUST DIE!" He yelled as he used his strongest explosion to throw Izuku as far as he can.

"SHIGARAKI!" Izuku yelled, as he was flying so fast towards the Villain.

What the-? That annoying brat! Tomura thought.

This is it. This is the attack that Mori-sensei helped me create, my ultimate attack. And now is the right time to use it. Izuku said in his mind as he got closer to Shigaraki. One for All 100%!

"Green Dragon Ultra Kick!"

Izuku shouted as he used the full power of One for All in his leg. As he did, a green aura formed into a Green Dragonwho gave a mighty roar and engulfed his leg. Izuku then pulled back his leg before he kicked his target. Once the devastating kick made contact, it caused massive shockwaves through the entire USJ and broke every single window in the facility. The whole USJ was shaking like there was an earthquake, and the students who were close to the attack were knocked off their feet.

Chapter 12: Izuku and All Might

*Music: The Raising Fighting Spirit -Naruto theme*

"SHIGARAKI!" Izuku yelled, as he was flying so fast towards the Villain.

What the-? That annoying brat! Tomura thought.

This is it. This is the attack that Mori-sensei helped me create, my ultimate attack. And now is the right time to use it. Izuku said in his mind as he got closer to the Shigaraki. One for All 100%!

"Green Dragon Ultra Kick!"

Izuku shouted as he used the full power of One for All in his leg. As he did, a green aura formed into a Green Dragonwho gave a mighty roar and engulfed his leg. Izuku then pulled back his leg before he kicked his target. Once the devastating kick made contact, it caused massive shockwaves through the entire USJ and broke every single window in the facility. The whole USJ was shaking like there was an earthquake, and the students who were close to the attack were knocked off their feet.

"What is this incredible power?!" Itsuka shouted as she tried to block the shockwaves with her hand, but was still getting pushed back. She and Ochaco had to do their best to shield Aizawa-sensei. Itsuka was awestruck at Izuku's incredible power, she never imagined that he was this strong.

"Idiot, he must have broken his bones." Aizawa said, as he shielded his eyes. He couldn't even open them.

"So much power!" Sato said as he also had trouble staying on his feet, along with the students who were at the main entrance.

Needless to say, everyone felt Izuku's immense power, heck even the scattered students, the villains, and Kurogiri did. The gusts of winds managed to push the Mist Villain back, which made him unable to open a portal back to their hideout.

Bakugo was left utterly speechless by Izuku's attack and the destruction it caused. Did Deku just kill the guy? He thought as his eyes were wide open from the shock.

"He's so manly!" Kirishima cheered for the Sharingan user.

"Did he get him?" Ojiro asked, hoping that his friend finally defeated the Villains.

"I don't know, I can't see from the dust." Kirishima replied, trying to take a good look at the situation.

The whole USJ was silent, Villains, and Heroes. Everyone was just waiting for the dust to clear, so that they could see the conclusion of the epic battle. Suddenly, Izuku's shadow became more visible. And it seems like he has managed to hit a target, but it wasn't the target everyone expected. As the dust settled, everybody saw Izuku, his leg was broken, bruised and purplish, but it had managed to break the Green Nomu's neck and jaw completely. The Green Monster managed to save his master at the cost of his own life. They both fell on the ground. One was dead while the other was plain exhausted and incapacitated. Izuku's Sharingan faded as he has reached his time limit, followed by him deactivating his Full Cowl too.

"At least, this… will make things ea-easier for… All Might." Izuku weakly muttered, his vision was becoming blurry as he was about to pass out in any second now.

Meanwhile, everyone was just trying to process what just happened as they were still amazed by Izuku's ultimate attack. After all, he managed to defeat one of those deadly beasts. The same one who took out Vlad King.

"You little brat! How?! How were you able to kill my Nomu?! After his bones were broken so many times, he should have been able to withstand a hit even from All Might, his Bone Regeneration Quirk has no limits, so how?! You! You little pest! How were you able to kill him?!" Shigaraki began his temper tantrum.

"I told you… told you I would break his b-bones until he could no longer regenerate them… All I had to do was deal a blow strong enough to kill him instantly… Shattering his bones first, before landing the blow was a strategy, but it took too much time and at the end it failed… So, I had to improvise… and deal a powerful blow to snap his neck… That's his weakness… a fatal blow to a weak point, just like when the sharp bone spike impaled his throat…" Izuku weakly said with a faint smile. He was happy that he made things easier for All Might now.

"Damn it! My Nomu was defeated by a little kid!" Shigaraki angrily shouted.

"I already know that he's no longer a human, so I'm glad I was able to save his poor soul that is being tormented by you… He was my target in the first place as I knew he was going to protect you… That and the fact that a Hero shouldn't kill a Villain, so I was never going to kill you in the first place." Izuku murmured weakly.

Shigaraki then began to violently scratch his neck, until he regained his composure. "You know brat, the Green Nomu was just a prototype. In fact, he wasn't really the ace up my sleeve to kill All Might, it's the black one over here. But you! You piss me off so much, much like that stupid Symbol of Peace, and the fact that you managed to defeat a Nomu makes you a potential threat in the future. Black Nomu kill him!"

The Black Nomu immediately grabbed Izuku and started to smash his head into the ground. He then started to punch him repeatedly, but Izuku had already lost his consciousness. His ribs and leg were broken, his face was all covered in blood and his nose was broken as well. Not to mention, he lost too much blood from the injuries he got in his shoulder and chest earlier.

"DEKU! DAMN IT!" Bakugo yelled as he tried to go save Izuku, but his path was blocked by Kurogiri.

"I'm afraid I can't let you pass." Kurogiri exclaimed as he blocked Bakugo, Kirishima, and Ojiro's path.

"FUCKING WARP GATE!"

"Deku!" "Izuku!" Both Ochaco and Itsuka respectively shouted as they were helping Aizawa stand on his feet.

"Damn it, if I wasn't so useless!" Aizawa said in frustration as he knew that there was nothing he could do to save his student. He was in a bad shape and he knew beforehand that trying to erase that monster's Quirk was pointless.

"You see, Midoriya. You kept trying to save everyone, saying that you'll become a Hero, but look at you now! You're moments away from death! You couldn't even save yourself, you shitty brat. And no one will come to save you!" Tomura said while laughing like a maniac.

However, his laugh was interrupted by the sound of the Entrance's door crashing, as a silhouette appeared and managed to put the students' hearts at ease. All this time, this place was only filled with the darkness of villainy and fear… But the deeper the darkness… the more dazzling the light shines.

"ALL MIGHT!" The students shouted with a hint of relief.

I had a bad feeling, so I tore myself away from my chat with the principal and came. I passed Young Iida on my way and got a rough idea of what had happened. All Might thought as he entered the USJ.

Good grief, it really makes me angry. Thinking about how frightening it must have been for the children… And how hard my juniors fought… All Might said in his head as he was looking at the crying students and the injured teachers and students. His eyes focused on the unconscious Tetsutetsu and Shihai.

But that is why I must proudly say- "It's fine now! I am here!" All Might shouted as he looked at his almost dead Successor. He tore his tie as an angry expression covered his face. He wasn't smiling. Over the last year, All Might felt like Izuku was the son he never had, and seeing the young boy in such a state made him boil with rage.

He immediately rushed at the Nomu and in a second, punched him in the face with a loud BOOM, sending him flying back to the Central Plaza. This managed to send shivers down the Villains' spines as they were once again reminded that they were standing in front of the Symbol of Peace. Even Tomura and Kurogiri flinched for a second. All Might then carried the limp body of his successor who began to open his eyes again.

"All… Might… I did my best… to protect e-everyone. I-I tried my… best to stall them… until you arrive." Izuku murmured before passing out again.

"It's okay Young Midoriya, you did a great job. I'm afraid that I'm the one who failed you." All Might murmured before giving Izuku to Sato and Shoji who carried him to the Main Entrance.

"A bit late, wouldn't you say All Might? I've been waiting for you all day, you trash of society!" Shigaraki greeted All Might, but was met with a back slap (bitch slap) from All Might, sending him to the Nomu who managed to catch his master. The hand that was hiding Shigaraki's face fell.

The other Villains tried to attack him and overwhelm him with numbers, but he knocked out all of them without breaking a sweat.

"Sorry Aizawa…" All Might apologized. He couldn't bring himself to look at his fellow teacher because he was ashamed of himself. If he had been here, none of that would've ever happened.

"I was too weak to protect him, he's the one who protected us all. It should have been the other way around. A child should never bear the adults' responsibilities." Aizawa said with a hint of frustration.

"You did your best Aizawa, now leave everything to me." 

"It's no good… It's no good… It's no good… I-I'm sorry, Father…" Shigaraki said as he was hiding his face with his own hand, until he grabbed the hand that was on his face and put it back again. "He hit me as he was saving them. It's the violence of a government official. He's fast, as expected. I can't follow him with my eyes. But not as fast as I thought he'd be. I guess it's true, after all… that he's getting weaker."

All Might then ran towards Shigaraki ready to attack, "Carolina…"

"Nomu" Shigaraki simply said, and the Nomu heeded to his master's call and went in front of him in a flash.

"…Smash!" All Might shouted as the attack landed on the Nomu but was unfazed by it, which shocked All Might.

"He wasn't affected at all?!" All Might said as he dodged an attack coming from the Nomu and punched him in the guts, but once again the monster was unfazed. It's like All Might's attacks weren't even working. "In that case-" All Might said as he punched him two times in the face before dodging his attack. "It doesn't work on his face either, huh?" All Might questioned as he kept punching the Nomu in his chest.

"It doesn't work because of shock absorption. In order to cause damage to Nomu, it would be most effective to slowly gouge out his flesh. Whether he'd let you do that or not is a different issue, though. After all he's the Anti-Symbol of Peace who exists only to kill you." Shigaraki pointed out.

"Thanks for telling me all that! If that's true, then it's easier for me." All Might replied, as he grabbed the Nomu in a bear hug and bent his back backwards to smash the Nomu into the ground and immobilize him.

"All right! Take that! Those guys are underestimating All Might too much!" Sato cheered as he was carrying the unconscious Izuku.

However, Izuku was able to hear and feel everything happening around him. I know we should leave things to All Might but… but I know he's at his limit. Every day on my way to school, I read the Hero news in real time. The reason why he didn't attend the class today must be because he spent three hours in his Hero form. I'm the only one who knows… I'm the only one who knows All Might's secret and the predicament he's in. Izuku said in his head.

Unfortunately for All Might, when he was performing his last attack, Kurogiri opened a warp gate which teleported Nomu's upper body right under All Might's back. The former then held All Might with his monster hands by his sides, restraining the Number One Hero.

"Is-Is that how it is?" All Might grunted as the Nomu was piercing All Might's injured side with his claws and blood was starting to leak.

"SHIT! THAT FOGGY NOBODY MANAGED TO SLIP FROM ME, AND NOW HE'S TEAMING UP WITH THE FREAK AGAINST ALL MIGHT!" Bakugo growled.

"Were you trying to keep him from moving by sticking him deep in the concrete? You won't be able to stop him like that. Because Nomu is as strong as you are." Shigaraki exclaimed with a grin. "This is good, Kurogiri. It's an unexpected opportunity."

Ouch! That's my weak spot! Stop it! All Might said in his head as the Nomu was squeezing his injured side. He then tried to free himself from the Nomu's grasp, but it was no use. What power! He said in his mind, astonished by the Nomu's pure strength.

"This is your first offense? You'd better prepare yourselves…" All Might said, trying his best to free himself from Nomu's claws.

"Kurogiri" Shigaraki simply called his subordinate.

"I do not want blood and guts overflowing within me, but I would be happy to take in someone as great as you. You are too fast to see with the human eye. Restraining you was Nomu's job. And then, when your body is halfway in, to close the gate… and tear you apart is my job." Kurogiri explained their plan.

"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ALL MIGHT!" Bakugo yelled and grabbed the metal piece hanging in Kurogiri's body before he pinned him down.

At that moment, the right half of Nomu was completely frozen too. It was Todoroki who has finally appeared.

"Young Bakugo? Young Todoroki?"

"All I heard was that you all are here to kill All Might." Todoroki said.

He controlled it so that the ice stopped just before it reached me. Thanks to that, his grip loosened! All Might said in his head as he was starting to get out of Nomu's grip.

"A-A-Ah, careful there, Heroes." Shigaraki exclaimed as he held Ojiro. "Explosions brat, let my subordinate go, and you there, Ice brat don't interfere. You don't want me to kill your classmate here."

"YOU BASTARD!" Bakugo growled, he didn't know what to do. Should he try to save Ojiro or All Might?

"Young Bakugo, Young Todoroki! It's okay, stop interfering." All Might said.

"But we can't choose to save which life-" Todoroki protested, but was cut off.

"That's an order, you are still kids so back off." All Might ordered.

"No! All Might!" Ojiro shouted. If only I was stronger! He said in his head as the Nomu broke from Todoroki's ice and began to tighten his grip once again. "No need to concern yourself about me, just do what you have to do, All Might!"

"Shut up for a moment." Shigaraki said as he held Ojiro by his throat with four fingers.

Bakugo let Kurogiri go like All Might ordered him, still reluctant about this whole thing.

All Might began to yell out in agony as a lot of blood was coming out of his injured side.

Hearing this, many students began to cry, many were already losing hope. How could all of this happen during their first week in UA? And was this really the end of All Might, the Symbol of Peace?

Meanwhile, Izuku's injured body was lying on the floor with the other injured students and teachers. He was trying to wake up or move, as he was able to hear All Might yelling from the pain and suffering, but he was just helpless and couldn't do anything.

No… No, All Might! There are still tons of things I want you to teach me! Izuku yelled in his mind as different memories of All Might were flashing in front of him.

"You can become a Hero."

"Young Midoriya you are worthy of my power. When I first met you, you had the heart of a True Hero, but now you'll have the power of a True Hero!" 

All Might… Izuku thought as more memories came to his mind.

"Come, Young Midoriya. This is your Hero Academia!"

All Might…

"Young Midoriya you always mention your mother in conversations, but you never mention your father, may I ask why?" All Might said as he handed Izuku his ice cream.

"Oh, it's just that my father works overseas to provide us the money my mother and I need, so I don't remember him at all. To be honest, All Might I'm glad I met you because with you… with you, I was finally able to see what it's like to have a father." Izuku said with a blush as he ate his ice cream.

All Might was just shocked at the revelation and didn't know how to respond. There was a moment of silence before Izuku spoke again.

"I'm sorry All Might that was actually awkward, just-"

"Young Midoriya, no Izuku, I also think of you as the son I never had." All Might exclaimed with a genuine smile.

Izuku was so touched by this, he felt like he was blessed and he just couldn't believe how much his life has changed in the past few months. He was really glad that he ever met All Might. The Number One Hero was always the light in his Quirkless and sad life, he was always his last hope and he's glad that he didn't let go of said hope.

"Thank you…" Izuku murmured.

All Might! 

'Do you want power?' said a strange voice in Izuku's head. 'Do you want to save him?'

Izuku didn't care whose voice was this, he didn't care about anything right now except for saving All Might. "Yes!" He agreed.

'Then wake up!'

Back To All Might:

All Might's body has finally entered the warp gate, Kurogiri was finally ready to close the portal and kill All Might. Many students closed their eyes as they couldn't look at their Symbol of Peace's death, while others were crying and frustrated for not being able to help.

All Might was now letting himself get sucked in, this was the death he had to expect as a Hero, dying while saving others. Even if I die here, I know that the Pros will be here to save the students, I have no regrets dying like this except for one. All Might said in his mind, as he began to close his eyes. Young Midoriya I'm sure you'll become a fantastic Hero in the future, and I'm sorry that I wasn't there to guide you till the end of the road.

"ALL MIGHT!" A voice yelled that caught everyone's attention.

"Young Midoriya?!" All Might questioned as he saw Izuku being carried by Monoma and heading towards him.

"GET YOUR HANDS OF ALL MIGHT YOU BASTARDS!" Izuku shouted.

"Young Midoriya! Don't-" All Might tried to tell Izuku to stand back, but he looked at the boy's eyes, and what he saw shocked him. His right eye… the second tomoe appeared. His Quirk has awakened! All Might said in his mind.

Suddenly, All Might felt the Nomu pulling him out of the portal and letting go of him. What was going on? He looked at the Nomu, but what he saw surprised him. The Nomu's eyes were like Izuku's, he had the Sharingan.

A Couple Of Minutes Earlier:

"All Might!" Izuku shouted as he woke up and tried to stand up.

"Izuku stop you should rest! You already did plenty for us!" Momo said as she ran to his side.

"No, I have… to save All Might." Izuku replied, not willing to let his mentor die like this.

Monoma just looked at Izuku in total admiration. He knew how much he was wrong about Izuku earlier. He really is selfless. He really is a True Hero!

"Izuku stop! You're not going anywhere, idiot!" Itsuka shouted at him with tears in her eyes. "I already thought I lost you once, and I don't want to see you getting hurt anymore. Can't you see! It's over! We lost! There's nothing we can do!"

"We won't let you go Deku, and that is finale!" Ochako added. She had tears in her eyes too. "Please you already did enough for us!" She pleaded.

"No let him go…" Aizawa interrupted.

"Aizawa-sensei?" Izuku murmured.

"Izuku your Quirk awakened, the second tomoe finally appeared in your right eye." Aizawa said, which shocked everybody. They didn't really understand what Aizawa was talking about, but hearing that Izuku's Quirk got stronger was still shocking.

"Aizawa-sensei, even if, he's still hurt." Sato tried to reason with his teacher.

"As much as it pains me to send him do the adults' fight, Midoriya, you're the only one who can save us all right now."

"I will gladly do it." Izuku replied with a lot of determination. His eyes shined and his Sharingan started to spin.

Monoma who had touched Itsuka's shoulder expanded his hands in size. "I can see that you have a plan, but you need someone to carry you, so I'll do it." Monoma said, not willing to back down either.

"Monoma?" Izuku nodded. "Alright, let's do this."

Back To The Present:

*Music: Naruto OST -Avenger*

"Nomu, save Ojiro." Izuku ordered, which made the Nomu charge at Shigaraki with super-sonic speed. The Nomu then delivered a powerful uppercut, breaking Shigaraki's jaw in the process and then carried Ojiro to Izuku.

Shigaraki who was sent flying away, stood up again, still too shocked to comprehend what had just happened. "Kurogiri what is happening?! How is the Nomu obeying that kid?" Shigaraki asked in panic while he held his broken jaw.

"I don't know Tomura… I don't know." Kurogiri nervously replied.

"Ruining our first week of school, attempting to kill my friends and teachers. Unforgivable! Unforgivable! You won't get away with this!" Izuku yelled.

"ROOAAAAARRR!" The Nomu, who was standing behind him roared to show Izuku's anger. Seeing this, all the Villains started to shake in fear.

"Who-Who the hell are you?! You… You… You're not a human brat, no-no-no those eyes, those red eyes, you must be a Devil!" Shigaraki shouted while taking a couple of steps back. He was scared of Izuku's death glare.

"What was that about me not being able to save anyone? Don't count me out so easily! As for who I am, I already told you… I am the Hero who never gives up! The Hero who will save everyone! Izuku Midoriya, the next fledgling Symbol of Peace!" Izuku replied as Shigaraki just froze in fear.

Izuku then looked at the Nomu, who seemed to be still under his control. "Nomu finish all the minions who are here." Izuku ordered. The Nomu didn't hesitate to carry his new master's orders and took care of all the canon fodders in the USJ in a flash. Izuku then ordered the Nomu to grab Shigaraki, and the Nomu immediately charged at his old master, and grabbed him by his shirt, before lifting him off the ground.

Meanwhile, everyone stood in awe at Izuku's power, and how he was able to subdue the Nomu despite his current state.

"Tell me Shigaraki, how does it feel now when you're in the receiving end of the Nomu's power?!" Izuku said, as the Nomu was squeezing Shigaraki's body so hard, and the latter was just grunting in pain. "THIS IS HOW AIZAWA-SENSEI FELT YOU BASTARD! THIS IS HOW OJIRO FELT WHEN YOU DECAYED PART OF HIS TAIL! THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE FELT TODAY! FEAR… AND NOW YOU'LL HAVE A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE!" Izuku yelled as he was consumed by his rage at the moment. But just then, he started vomiting some blood.

Shigaraki however, never felt this terrified of someone in his entire life. In fact, he doesn't remember when was the last time he felt fear.

"Young Midoriya!" All Might called his successor's name, worried about his current state.

"All Might, stand down." Izuku said as more blood was coming from his eyes and nose. He was straining himself beyond his limits. He was exhausted and was about to faint in any moment. "I can still hold him down much longer, I'll save every-" Izuku added before vomiting more blood.

Young Midoriya, even though you're injured and so tired… even though you're at your limit. You're pushing forward to save everyone, going beyond Plus Ultra… My boy you really are a True Hero. All Might said in his head, before giving Izuku a thumbs up. All Might then hit Izuku's neck, which made the latter fall unconscious.

At that moment, the Nomu snapped out of his trance and let go of Shigaraki, who was visibly shaking in fear.

"That fucking brat!" Shigaraki exclaimed.

He then went on his knees and coughed. Blood was coming out of his mouth too as he has definitely suffered some internal damage. Shortly after, he got up, shaken to the core, but still managed to regain his composure yet again.

"What the fuck is this?! You just knocked out the only student who could have saved everyone. Do you really want the credit of defeating us to yourself?!" Shigaraki taunted with a new found confidence now that Izuku is out of the picture.

"Young Midoriya, thank you, but it pains me when you destroy your body to save me. And as a Hero and your teacher, I can't allow you to do that." All Might said as he looked at his almost unconscious Successor.

"No All Might…" Izuku murmured before fainting. All Might then gave Izuku and Ojiro's bodies to Monoma. "Take them to safety." He simply ordered.

"Nomu kill All Might and then that green haired brat, he's too dangerous to be left alive. If he's that strong at 15 years old, then imagine how strong he'll become in a few years! No-No! In fact, prioritize killing that brat, I won't let him get away for his insolence!" Shigaraki ordered the Nomu as he violently scratched his neck. In fact, there was blood dripping from it now.

*Music: You Say Run*

It's true that I barely have a minute left. My power has been declining faster than I expected. But I must do this. Why? Because I am…

"The Symbol of Peace!" All Might said as he emitted a strong aura, that froze everyone in place except for the Nomu.

As the two titans finally charged at each other and clashed, their exchanges of fists caused a shockwave that blew everyone away.

"Damn! Hey, you talked about his shock absorption yourself earlier, didn't you?" Shigaraki questioned.

"Yes, I did!" All Might said as he managed to knock the Nomu away. The two titans started to exchange fists so fast at supersonic speeds, that even the normal human eye couldn't keep up with their movements.

"W-Wow!" Kirishima said in amazement as he was blown away.

"I-I can't get near them!" Kurogiri exclaimed.

"If your Quirk isn't shock nullification but shock absorption, then there's a limit to it, right?" All Might said as he began to get the upper hand in the fight, dealing more blows, landing one punch after the other. "Made to fight me? If you can withstand me at 100%, then I'll force you to surrender from beyond that!"

He's not swinging randomly. Every single hit… Bakugo thought.

…is more than 100% of his power! Todoroki finished Bakugo's thought, as All Might finally landed a devastating punch that knocked the Nomu several meters away.

Seeing this, Shigaraki got more and more angry.

"A hero… can always break out of a tough spot!" All Might said as he jumped over to the Nomu and began their intense exchange of blows.

Neither side was willing to surrender, until All Might grabbed the Nomu by the arm, swung him and threw him to the ground, creating a large crater. Finally, All Might landed in front of the Nomu with a loud thud.

"Hey villain, have you ever heard those words?" Resonating deep within him, the past wills and power of One for All echoed in his body, granting even more power within him, before he clenched his fist.

"Go beyond! Plus… Ultra!" All Might roared as he punched the Nomu in the guts.

The result was the punch sending the Nomu upwards through the roof of the USJ at max velocity. He was sent through the sky across the city. The power of the punch also made the entire place shake as if there was an earthquake. All the students just stood there in awe at All Might's power. The Symbol of Peace was definitely in a league of his own.

"Is this a comic book or something? It's like he nullified the shock absorption. His brute strength is crazy." Kirishima said with visible shock in his voice.

"What insane power… Does this mean he rushed at him so fast he couldn't regenerate?" Bakugo added, he too was shell shocked.

"So, this is the top…" Todoroki added, admiring All Might's power.

Is this… the world of pros…? Bakugo thought.

"I really have gotten weaker… In my prime, five hits would've been enough. But it took more than 300 hits." All Might said with a smile. Smoke started to emit from his body as he was going to return to his weaker form in any second now.

Shigaraki was now shacking with anger. This by far has been the worst day of his life. He arranged for this attack and recruited mobs of Villains only for them to be taken out by children. He had Kurogiri scatter them, but one of them escaped. His Green Nomu was taken out by a 15 years old kid. He tried to kill the kid but failed because All Might appeared. He almost had All Might and was going to kill him, but that same kid saved him. And finally, his strongest Nomu was defeated by All Might. Yeah, this wasn't really the best day of his life. On the bright side, could it get any worse?

"Weaker? No way. We've been completely overwhelmed. I can't believe he did that to my Nomu… He used a cheat?!" Tomura angrily said as he began to throw a temper tantrum like a child. "What's going on? He's not weaker at all. Did that guy lie to me?!" He added as he scratched his neck.

Luckily for our Heroes, the long-awaited support finally arrived as the Pro Hero Snipe fired a shot at Shigaraki's shoulder before Kurogiri quickly warped him and ran away.

"Next time you're mine, you trash of society!" Shigaraki shouted, before escaping through the warp gate.

All the students cheered as finally the attack was over. The Pro Heroes entered the USJ facility, and immediately apprehended the minions. They were accompanied by principal Nezu and Tenya. And outside the USJ were the police and a couple of ambulances, who immediately took the injured students. Out of the 40 students, 15 had minor injuries, 3 were severely injured but not in a critical state, and one was between life and death and needed immediate medical attention. Not to mention there was also 3 severely injured teachers.

Unfortunately for UA, the public had to know about the injured student who was in a critical condition, and so in a span of a few hours everyone knew that Izuku Midoriya was injured due to him taking out one of the main Villains. They also heard how his chivalrous acts ended up saving the students and teachers, as well as helping All Might in defeating the strongest Villain.

At The League Of Villains Hideout:

"You were wrong, Master! All Might wasn't weaker at all, he managed to defeat the Nomu." Shigaraki exclaimed.

"What?! He managed to defeat the two Nomus?!" A mysterious dark voice questioned from a monitor. From the sound of it, it looked like the person behind the voice was surprised to hear what he has just heard.

"Well, to be honest, the green one was defeated by one of the students. He had crazy powers master, his eyes were red and could see through any attacks thrown at him. He also managed to hypnotize one of the Nomus. Not only that, but there was green lightning all around him, that seemed to increase his physical strength." Kurogiri explained what happened.

"That annoying brat…, because of him my plans were ruined! We almost had All Might, but even after being injured so badly he saved him! That brat! That brat!" Shigaraki growled in frustration as he decayed a random chair. "I WANT TO KILL HIM!" He yelled.

"Red eyes and green lightning… What was his name?" The mysterious voice asked.

"Midoriya, I think." Kurogiri replied, but the voice didn't respond back. There was an utter silence before Shigaraki broke it.

"Is something wrong Master?" Shigaraki angrily asked, still frustrated by the failure of the attack.

"No, don't mind me. You weren't just prepared enough today. We underestimated them. Gather the elites and build up the league, I'll do some research on my end. Something doesn't add up." The Mysterious Dark Voice said before the monitor turned off.

At UA:

The day was finally over, but the students were not mentally okay at all. They suffered a lot. Useless, Coward, Weak, Failure, Fear, Terrified, Shocked, Afraid were the common thoughts they had about themselves. And in reality, this was an experience they never should've had experienced until their third year in UA or something. But now they got to know firsthand how dangerous the job of a Hero truly was…

After being interrogated by the police, the students went back to their respective classes. No one dared to speak about anything that happened today as they were tired. They packed their stuff and each student was accompanied back home by his parents. All of them did so, except the four injured students.

Itsuka was one of the people who mentally suffered the most along with Ochaco. Unlike, some other students, who were having nightmares about today's events or some trouble sleeping, they couldn't sleep at all. Each time they would try, their minds would drift to Izuku and his injured state. Is he going to be fine? Did the doctors already heal him? Is he ever going to recover? Questions like these and many more were going through their minds tonight.

On the other hand, Momo couldn't help but feel guilty for allowing them to go near the Center Plaza or leaving Izuku by himself. The guilt was so immense that she only got two hours of sleeping.

At The Hospital:

Recovery Girl came out of the surgery room to meet Inko, who had tears bursting from her eyes.

"Recovery Girl, please tell me that my Izuku is going to be okay, please!" The poor mother pleaded.

Recovery Girl looked down and shook her head before saying, "He's in a very bad shape. His right leg is broken, his ribs are a mess and he suffered many cuts. His shoulder and chest are in a bad shape too and he lost a lot of blood. But that's not the main problem. I'm afraid he has suffered a lot of brain damage, and I don't know when he will wake up again. I'm sorry…" As Recovery Girl finished, Inko immediately fainted, unable to process what just happened to her Izuku. The nurses quickly ran at her side and did their best to help her.

Meanwhile, All Might who was in his weaker form, heard everything Recovery Girl said from behind a wall. Young Midoriya, I'm sorry…, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault! He said in his mind, as his face was shadowed with guilt.
