Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

There was the sound of impact from the large dust cloud that was formed, A roar from Nomu, which was cut off suddenly. Another impact, and Nomu and Izuku tumbled out with Izuku tackling the monster to the ground with speed that caught it off by surprised as he rained down a blast of heat unconsciously in his fist towards the Nomu blow after blow which caused the Nomu's flesh and muscles to be exposed.

"C'mon!" Izuku screamed in rage between his punches. "How much you got left?! You gotta be close, you sonova-!"

Nomu cut him off with a lunge, the writhing stump that had been its left arm knocking the boy away with Izuku rolling as he landed, jumping back to the beast as Nomu met him halfway. Izuku landed several blows to Nomu's midsection, every one of them powered by a blow that contained the heat that he was using as his eyes glowed with fire like will in his very soul along with him, before having to leap over an attempted bearhug. With a yell, Izuku landed a full-powered punch right to Nomu's exposed brain, actually making the beast stumble. Seeing the opening, Izuku brought both of his hands together and yelling out with rage.

"PERISH IN A BLAST OF FLAME, THOU WRETCHED CUR!!"

A high condensation of fire that formed in Izuku's hand hit the Nomu point blank causing it to screeched as it was overrwhlemed by Izuku's attack and being unable to defend itself.

Izuku smiled viciously as he felt the heat getting hotter as he poured even more power, hearing the sound of the Nomu screeching in pain made him feel satisfied at what he was doing.

But suddenly the Nomu leapt at him covered in smoke and burnt flesh but Izuku moved out of the way But instead of a wild lunge, like the boy had thought, Nomu had both arms pulled high over its head, its hand clasped together.

Izuku sent a ball of fire but that didn't stop the Nomu as it brought its arms down in an overhead blow. Izuku was a blur as he was spiked into the ground, the stone cracking from the blow.

Izuku got up as if that didn't hurt him, his smile still visible on his face as he looked towards the Nomu as it landed above him and it went hit him again but Izuku grabbed the Nomu's arm and body slammed it to the ground.

But that didn't stop the Nomu with Izuku, who wasn't done yet-- as he grabbed the Nomu's head and slammed it to the ground hard with his hand superheated that it made the Nomu squirm in pain as it went to grab Izuku, the boy himself suddenly caught the Nomu's arm...but he didn't use his arm to catch it....he used his mouth to stop arm in time and bit into it while putting more fire power in his hand that was on the Nomu's exposed brain.

This course of action made the Nomu to scream even more but Izuku didn't care as he continued the action he was doing and biting through the Nomu's flesh while pulling the arm from out the Monsters arm socket.

The Nomu screamed even more and used its lower body to get up-- which forced Izuku to pull the arm out even more as blood was spilled.

The Nomu screamed even as it pushed Izuku a distance away--who was holding the arm in his mouth and then spit it out as if it didn't have any taste.

The Nomu glared at Izuku while regrowing it's arm but Izuku didn't let that happen as Izuku blitz above the monster and slammed his fist at the Nomu's exposed brain--hitting it hard that it's head hit the ground hard enough for a spider like crack to form.

Izuku then grabbed the Nomu by its head as the Nomu tried to grab Izuku heads with success as it tried to squeeze him.

But the boys eyes simply stared at the Monster and simply ripped it's arm away as it screamed even more and then with its beak like mouth wide open, Izuku slammed his whole arm inside the monsters mouth and give it a cruel smirk on his face.

"I prithee, may thy innards withstand this brazen heat."

And then it felt it....the same excruciating heat that it tried to move but...it couldn't... because of the blow it got from Izuku to the head that it's motor motions weren't available to it...and it felt...fear as it stared into the eyes of Izuku, the colour of his eyes were burning red-- with his cruel smile that plastered on his face...it suddenly felt tears pouring out of its eyes as if it was begging for Izuku but the boy himself just laughed.

"I prithee, yet thy beseeching shall render it more thrilling."

And then the burning sensation caused its inside to burn even more as it couldn't even scream in pain, as it's flesh started to burn even more as its body was turning to a crisp as Izuku watched this unfold with no care on his face.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

From the top of USJ entrance, the reunited members of class 1A were in awe as they witnessed Nomu's demise from one of their own.

The Monster being nothing but a black crumpled dust as their was steam where the beast stood, while Izuku was seen standing and looked to be unmoving but his eyes were glowing as well as flickering in a ruby red colour not noticing Shoto and Kirishima.

Izuku then turned his attention towards the trio, who looked at him.

"It's over"

He said in confirmation which made Kirishima sigh on content while Shoto was taking a knee while clenching his arm.

Very faintly, they thought they could hear excited shouts from up on the entrance ramp, the gathered students no doubt having reached the same conclusion.

Both Kirishima and Shoto went towards the lone boy with the latter staring at the boy who took down the Nomu.

"Is... is it down?"

This made Shoto and Kirishima snap their heads as Shoto followed on as the unfamiliar voice registered with Izuku opening one eye as he was back in the living, slumped with his expression caught between irritation and dismay.

There, peering out from behind the debris of broken grounds that were cracked, was one of the many villains Shigaraki had brought with him. His eyes were not on the teens, but the crumpled form of Nomu that was a few distance away from them.

As if acting on some unheard signal, more villains suddenly began to appear, either waking up from where they're been previously knocked out or retreating from whatever hiding places they had found. They all stared at their fallen weapon with a mixture of relief and terror.

"The brats took it out?"

"I thought that thing was supposed to fight All Might?"

"What do we do now? Where... where's Shigaraki?"

"I think he bailed."

"What!?"

"Well, do you see him anywhere?"

"But... he was our exit! How do we get out of here?"

"Hell, I don't know!"

As the villains began to squabble amongst themselves, just starting to register their situation, Izuku's eyes never left the gathering group, his left arm twitching as he tried to call out more of the Boosted Gears power but to no avail as all thoughts of resting gone as more villains appeared out of the woodwork.

Todoroki found himself moving towards the boy at a similar pace, his desire to prove himself warring with the blinding pain of his frostbitten arm. His right arm held tightly against his chest, as he slowly backed up with Kirishima moving in as well-- quirk at the ready.

In an instant, the eyes of every villain were on them. Todokroki rose hjs right arm, frost curling from his fingertips as he grit his teeth, the mere motion lighting his chest up in pain.

Kirishima glaring at them as he faced the villains and placing himself Infront of the trio as he tried to be a shield for them.

For a few seconds, the two sides could only stare at each other, as the trio were facing nearly a dozen villains. Finally, one of the villains, a woman with tiger fangs curling over her bottom lip, spoke up. "Well, if we're stuck here, the heroes are coming for us. Think a couple of hostages would help us out?"

Todoroki cursed under his breath.

Another villain one who seemed to have oil dripping from his mouth and nose, gave, appropriately, an oily smile. "We're screwed anyways. Couldn't hurt."

"Perfect. Just... perfect." Izuku groaned out, his whole body felt like it was tearing itself apart.

[Izuku, it's better if you leave]

'If only that was easy, sorry Bud, but the fact that these villians really wants to kill and I only have enough energy to make one trip to UA and completely be drained, but theirs a silver lining'

The villains started to fan out, now sporting excited grins. With their leadership now gone, mob mentality won out for their next course of action.

"Careful guys," One said, his head shaped like crocodiles. "This lot did take down Nomu."

"Yeah, but they ain't lookin' so hot now," Replied another, his ears large and bat-like.

"'Nuff talking," A snake-haired woman cut off their bantering. "Let's make this fast."

Now fully surrounded, Todoroki's eyes zeroed in on the two villains closest, ice running up his arm and down his leg in preparation, with Kirishima preparing to face the villains.

"Get ready guys" he said And Without any warning, one of the villains rushed forward, the others quickly following his lead. In the same motion, Todoroki tensed his arm.

[And what's this silver lining?]

Izuku simply chuckled, "About the damn time" Izuku said and just as he spoke-

*CRASH!*

All movement ceased, all attacks canceled, as the entirety of USJ suddenly shook. A whistling sound echoed through the building as two flat, dented hunks of metal soared through the air across the plaza. It took them a moment for them to realize that what they were seeing were the massive doors of the USJ entrance, smashed clear off their hinges.

As the doors crashed to the ground on the opposite side of the building, students and villains alike followed their flight path. A plume of smoke was coming from the entranceway, light streaming through where the doors once were. In the opening stood a familiar figure, stepping his way through the smoke to the 1A students.

"It's all right now."

Todoroki could only look back at the entranceway in disbelief, his arm going limp while Kirishima grinned at the individuals appearance.

"Why?"

Walking past the relived faces of his students, quickly looking them all over as well as Thirteen and Aizawa's prone forms, All Might stepped up to the edge of the entrance ramp, a fearsome scowl on his face as he looked down at the villains now-cowering below.

"Because I am here!"

The number one hero took in a deep breath, likely to give his typical speech to both encourage the students and demoralize the villains, but he paused as he truly registered the shape the USJ was in. His eyes fell immediately towards what was clear the monster that looked to be nothing but a grotesque object, quickly moving from the wreck of the mockup ship to the surrounding areas. The destroyed plaza fountain, the rubble that once was the mountain-zone, before finally following the deep rivet of scorched earth leading away from the lake.

When his eyes finally fell on Izuku, Kirishima and Todoroki, they widened just enough to make out the blue hidden within his sunken sockets.

The villains around the trio immediately backed off, several of them dropping their various weapons as their knees began to shake. Without Nomu or Shigaraki, as well as the unnatural sight of an angry All Might, whatever delusional courage they had worked up fled in an instant.

In the next second, All Might blurred out of view, a rush of wind trailing behind him as he charged into the plaza. In a flash, he darted around to every villain he could see, knocking them out with a single punch before they even hit the ground. He paused for a mere moment to look at them, before turning his attention back up towards the Mountain Zone.

Sweat dripping down his face, the oil-mouthed villain waved his hands back and forth in a panic. "Hold up! We-!"

He didn't get to finish his plea, for All Might was already upon him, driving the villain's head into the ground. The rest met a similar fate, either being dropped in a single hit or thrown off into the distance. In less than thirty seconds, the teacher and students were the only ones left conscious in the immediate area.

Todoroki stared at the downed villains surrounding them in stunned awe. He... he did all that in seconds. He didn't even try.

Izuku knew this was his time to leave, with his wings were shown, this cisght the attention of Shoto and Kirishima.

"Until we dost meet anew, scholars of UA"

As those words escaped his mouth, with a beat of his wings, he left the scene, with enough speed and strength he can muster since he was in no condition to face off against the Symbol of Peace.
