How could he have let this happen?
For the first time, he said his famous catchphrase, only he wasn't smiling. Toshinori was furious. He was furious at the villains for hurting his colleagues and students; he was furious at himself for not coming sooner. His eyes scanned the area, easily spotting Thirteen whose back was torn open and Aizawa's unconscious figure amongst some large rocks.
His ears, however, immediately catch the familiar voice of his disciple—Young Izuku. His stomach churned unpleasantly upon hearing the broken cry that echoed from his disciple.
His students were all frightened and hurt; his colleagues were all severely injured. He hated knowing that this was all happening when he was resting. Now, all he could do is reassure his students that things will be okay.
That was his duty as the Symbol of Peace.
In an instant, he zoomed forward to the two villains next to his disciple and two of his students, knocking all the low-tier villains out as he passed by to get to his students. No one could even react, in a blink of an eye, his students were now placed safely next to Aizawa while the hand-covered villain was preoccupied with finding the hand he had knocked off his face.
With his students out of danger's way, All Might could now face the two villains in front of him without worry. He hesitates though, when he notices the unfamiliar boy in his disciple's arms. The boy was bleeding everywhere and yet he was still somehow hanging on—trying to stay conscious. Slowly, the boy's eyes moved upward and their eyes met. Fear. Worry. Relief. His eyes were filled with a mix of emotions.
How the boy got injured badly or who the boy even was were questions he had to save for later. He needed to focus on beating the hell out of these villains first!
「 Young Midoriya. Young Asui. Young Mineta. 」 He called them, each student looking up at him the instant they heard their name. 「 Go to the entrance. I'm leaving Aizawa-kun and that injured boy to you. I'll take care of these villains. 」
Tsuyu and Mineta sluggishly followed as instructed, muttering a thank you before tending to their homeroom teacher. As the other two teens carried their teacher, Izuku was hesitant but did as All Might said, the greenette carrying the injured brunette on his back.
Izuku stared at his mentor with furrowed eyebrows, the brunette in his arms feeling the tremble in the greenette's hold. 「 All Might, you can't! 」 He called out.
「 That brain villain, Nomu, took One Fo—! He took a punch that didn't break my arm, but he didn't even twitch. 」 His almost slip-up caught everyone's attention but no one paid it mind. Well . . . except the brunette on his back.
「 He's gotta be— 」 「 Young Midoriya! 」 All Might interrupted, cutting Izuku off as he turned to his disciple with a smile. 「 It's fine! 」 He declared, posing with a peace sign.
Reluctantly, Izuku joined his two classmates and made their way away from the central plaza. With the students off, All Might could finally face the three villains in front of him.
He takes off in an instant, crossing his arms into on X, attacking with the built up momentum that is then released into a strong air-pressured smash as he shouted out, 「 CALIFORNIA SMAAAASH!! 」
His brows raised, it was just as his disciple had said. 「 It seriously had no effect at all, huh? 」
「 In that case— 」 He threw one good hit on the Nomu's face, but the large villain wasn't fazed at all. 「 It doesn't work on his face either, huh? 」
Shigaraki let out a chuckle as he watched the confusion on the pro hero's face. 「 It doesn't work because of shock absorption. 」 The villain confidently explained, continuing to disclose more information about the Nomu.
「 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. 」
「 Thanks for telling me all that! 」 All Might said. It was really stupid of the hand-covered villain to disclose all of that information but the pro hero wasn't going to complain. 「 If that's true, then it's easier for me. 」
In one swift move, All Might was behind the Nomu, arms wrapped around the large villain's waist as he suplexed it. The attack caused the ground to shake violently, dust burst everywhere as the strong wind pressure from the attack sent the hand-covered villain stumbling back.
And from afar, the students by the entrance looked in awe, shouting words of amazement at the explosive attack.
「 All Might's on a whole nother level! 」 Mineta exclaimed, after witnessing the incredible strength of their teacher.
Tsuyu croaked in agreement, commenting, 「 Even though he's a rookie teacher who can't teach without looking at his notes. 」
Izuku couldn't share his classmates' amazement. His thoughts ran widely in a panic. The villains have a way to kill his mentor and there was nothing they could do lest they would end up getting taken as a hostage.
So . . . despite the growing pit in his stomach, Izuku was going to trust in his mentor. He was going to trust All Might.
「 Get 'em! Aim for the balls! 」 Mineta shouted out to All Might as Tsuyu's tension decreased.「 Were we overthinking it? 」 She inquired to no one, still in awe.
"...He's awesome..." BoBoiBoy mumbled. The brunette can barely see clearly but he felt the ground trembling and the explosive suplex was big enough for him to see as clear as day.
「 But... 」 Izuku wasn't an idiot. 「 But I know... 」
He knows because he reads the hero news in real time every day on his way to school. He knew that when his teachers were talking about why All Might wasn't at the USJ . . . was because All Might was at his limit.
The pro hero must've used too much of his power, and since Izuku knew that his mentor only had three hours in his hero form and he used that all up.
「 I'm the only one who knows—All Might's secret and the predicament he's in! 」
The distressed expression on the greenette's face concerned the brunette on his back. BoBoiBoy couldn't get a good look on the greenette's face but he could tell something was amiss.
—————————
「 Is that how it is? 」 The raspy voice of the hand-covered villain voiced. 「 Were you trying to keep him from moving by sticking him deep in the concrete? 」
With a confident smirk, Shigaraki exclaimed as he watched the dust clear.「 You won't be able to stop him like that. 」
And as the dust settled, there was All Might with his back arched back except the Nomu he suplexed was now gripping his sides.「 Because Nomu is as strong as you are. 」
The mist villain had used his Quirk to keep the Nomu from taking the impact of All Might's attack, the two promptly trapping the pro hero.
「 It's an unexpected opportunity. 」 The mist villain exclaimed as the Nomu tightened its grip and dug it's fingers into the pro hero's sides—blood soaking his white shirt.
「 Ouch! That's my weak spot! Stop it! 」 All Might cried out in his head, letting the Nomu's waist go, attempting to pry the large villain's grip but it wouldn't budge. 「 What power! 」
Was this really these villains' first offense? Whether or not it was, it didn't matter. They'll still have to face punishment for their actions. They better prepare.
「 Kurogiri. 」 Shigaraki called out to the mist villain. 「 I do not want blood and guts overflowing within me, but I would be happy to take in someone as great as you. 」 Kurogiri stated as All Might's body slowly begins to sink.
「 You are too fast to see with the human eye. Restraining you was Nomu's job. And then, when your body is halfway in, closing the gate and tearing you apart is my job. 」 The mist villain exclaimed joyously.
Izuku and the others stared at the scene. The greenette seemingly at his limit now. "BoBoiBoy-kun." Izuku muttered, earning a concerned grunt from the brunette and confused looks from his classmates. "I'm sorry but..."
Placing the injured brunette down by a nearby tree, Izuku takes off his gym shirt, ripping it in half. He carefully wraps one piece around the brunette's injured forearm as swiftly as he could. It won't do much to stop the bleeding, but it'll do for now.
"...stay here for a moment please!" Before BoBoiBoy could even respond, the greenette takes off running towards the central plaza. His name is called out but Izuku doesn't stop.
「 There are still tons of things I want you to teach me! 」 He screams in his head as ran as fast as he can, and with teary eyes, he calls out to his mentor. 「 All Might! 」
Upon hearing his disciple's shout, All Might's heart sank. His disciple was running straight towards them. Did he have a plan? All Might didn't know but . . .
「 How foolish. 」 Kurogiri said, appearing in front of Izuku. The greenette watched in horror, unable to stop his tracks, as he was running straight towards the mist villain.
Until an explosion suddenly came blasting through. 「 Move! You're in the way, Deku! 」 The familiar voice of his childhood friend echoed as stumbles back in surprise.
The blond grabs onto the mist villain, yelling out as he pins the villain down with a loud crash. Ice then starts forming around the Nomu's right side. All Might immediately realizes that this must've been from a certain heterochromic boy.
「 He controlled it so that the ice stopped before it reached me. 」 All Might examined, impressed with his student's amazing control of his Quirk, he mentally thanked the boy.
With the Nomu's grip loosened, the pro hero is now able to pry the large villain's grip, jumping away and landing next to his students. He holds his wounded side, grunting in pain as glarea down the villains.
Relieved to see his mentor escape, Izuku stares at the scene in front of him.
From the sky, another student joins the fray. The redheaded boy attacked down at the hand-covered villain, though the villain easily dodged his attempted ambush, the redhead grumbling a short complaint before backing off.
Izuku is in disbelief. His three classmates came rushing in to help. 「 Kacchan! Everyone! 」 He mutters out, wiping his tears away, as he faces the only remaining villain. This Shigaraki Tomura villain. The one who hurt his homeroom teacher; the one who hurt BoBoiBoy, his protector.

"Todoroki... Bakugou..." Mineta mumbled out their names. "And Kirishima-chan." Tsuyu added.
Turning her attention to BoBoiBoy, who was staring at the central plaza with concern etched on his face, Tsuyu comes over and places their teacher next to him. The brunette glances over in confusion as the frog girl takes the other half of Izuku's ripped gym shirt, wrapping it around Aizawa's injured elbow.
"Mineta-chan. Stay here and look after them." Tsuyu directed the short purple-haired boy, who was now yelling out in response, "Wait! You're leaving me too?!"
The frog girl starts hurriedly hopping the opposite way of the central plaza, towards the entrance. "I'm going to get help from the others! I'll be back soon!"
Mineta couldn't help but agree, especially with their situation. "...Okay, fine! Just get back quick!"
With responsibility on his shoulders, the short purple-haired boy turned to the two injured. BoBoiBoy was looking over at the fight at the central plaza again. There was a bad feeling in his stomach as he watched the scene continue to unfold.
【 Izukun... 】 The brunette thought to himself. 【 I need... to get up... 】
"BoBoiBoy...?" Mineta called out to the other, but received no response. Recognizing the same determined look on the brunette's eyes with Izuku's, surely he wouldn't . . .
—————————
「 Kurogiri, our exit and entrance, has been overcome. We're in a pinch. 」Shigaraki examines them from afar, disgruntled with his current situation.
「 You careless bastard. You're just what I thought you'd be. 」Bakugou declared confidently, staring the pinned mist villain down.「 Only certain parts of you can turn into a misty warp gate. That fog gate covered your actual body, right? 」
「 Back then, if you were completely made of mist and physical attacks couldn't touch you, then you wouldn't have said 'that was close.' 」
The blond was more perceptive than the mist villain initially thought. Kurogiri grunts as he attempts to escape the blond's hold, but is immediately hit with an explosion.
「 Don't move! 」 Bakugou yelled out, his grip tightening on the villain, a sadistic smirk clear on his face. 「 If I feel like you're moving suspiciously, then I'll blow you up. 」
「 His behavior isn't very hero-like... 」 Kirishima commented quietly as he glanced at the blond.
「 In addition to capturing them, they're almost all uninjured. Kids these days are amazing. They make the League of Villains look bad. 」 Shigaraki remarks before turning to the Nomu.
「 Nomu. 」 The hand-covered villain called out.
The large villain starts to move to stand, the Nomu's ice-covered body breaking into pieces, crawling forward as its eyes lock on forward.
「 Even though his body's broken... he's still moving? 」 Izuku murmured, wide-eyed alongside Todoroki who seemed just as shocked as the greenette.
「 Get back, everyone! 」 All Might shouted, extending his hand out towards his students.
They all watched, stunned as the Nomu started to regenerate its limbs, the pro hero inquiring about the large villain's sudden new ability, 「 What? His Quirk wasn't shock absorption? 」
「 I didn't say that was all he had. This is his super-regeneration. 」 Shigaraki explains gleefully. 「 Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%. He's a super-efficient human sandbag. 」
With the Nomu fully regenerated, they were now faced with the same villain that broke their homeroom teacher's arms; the same villain would've killed Izuku with a single punch if it weren't for BoBoiBoy; the same villain created to kill All Might . . .
Everyone stands guard, anticipating the villains to attack. The hand-covered villain confirms this as he says, 「 First, we need to get our gate back. 」 This alerts everyone, and all eyes are on the large villain.
「 Go, Nomu. 」 Shigaraki commanded.
No one could see what happened next, only All Might could. The Nomu was heading straight towards the blond pinning the mist villain down. The pro hero runs towards them, ready to protect his student when—
【 BOBOIBOY PETIR!! LIGHTNING BLADE!! 】
A bright yellow flash zoomed past, a large sudden explosion letting out as dust burst everywhere, a strong gust of wind pushing everyone back.
「 K-Kacchan!? 」 Izuku called out, only to fall back onto someone. 「 Get off me shitty Deku! 」
The greenette spun his head around, shocked to find that Bakugou had somehow ended up behind him. 「 Woah, how'd you get here?! 」 Kirishima asked, dumbfounded that the blond had seemingly teleported.
Bakugou doesn't answer though, only pushing Izuku off of him and staring back at the scene in front of them. Izuku and the others follow his gaze. The dust settles as they are met with electric sparks, and the back of a teen their age. Izuku's eyes shoot wide open as he is met with the familiar back except there was something different . . .
With his attire changed into a bright yellow scheme, his red armbands turned into black ones with lightning bolts on them, and his backward cap now faced forward with a lighting element symbol on the front, BoBoiBoy had transformed into Lightning.
The brunette grunts out in pain, keeping his blades forward to block the large villain's previous attack on Bakugou. However, the Nomu continues to pushing on, forcing the brunette back little by little.
「 Huh? Who is that? 」 Kirishima asked no one in particular, stunned with everyone as they stared at the boy.
「 Gah! You again! 」 Shigaraki snarled out, scratching his neck vigorously. 「 Nomu. 」 The hand-covered villain growled out.
Izuku's breath hitched, terror in his eyes as he watched helplessly as the large villain grabbed the brunette's lightning blades, shattering them like they were nothing. The shock on the brunette was clear, and Izuku could see the shock turn into horror as the villain winds in for a punch.
"BOBOIBOY-KUN!" Izuku called out, dust flying everywhere as the Nomu sent the boy crashing into a wall. The greenette's lips quivered, tears threatening to spill again. But as the dust settles . . .
「 He protected the child, huh? 」
「 All Might! 」 The students called out to their teacher, realizing that the pro hero had taken the blow for the brunette who was now in his arms.
Coughing up a little with blood dripping down his mouth, All Might looked down on the brunette, their eyes meeting momentarily. 「 Young BoBoiBoy, was it? Thank you for protecting my student... 」 The pro hero thanked the boy, and even though he didn't understand most of what he had said, BoBoiBoy somewhat knew it was a thanks.
With the brunette in his arms, All Might could now get a better look at the boy and his injuries. His head was bleeding and his forearm was wrapped in a torn out piece of clothing that looked oddly similar to U.A. gym uniform. He takes a quick glance towards his students, finally realizing the absence of his disciple's gym shirt as the greenette was now just in a white tank top.
Turning to the villains, All Might glared at them, his brows furrowing deeply.「 Do you not know how to hold back? 」
「 It was to rescue my companions. I had no choice. 」 Shigaraki responded, pointing at the brunette as he stated, 「 I mean, earlier, that brat attacked me and my Nomu. 」
「 And that... that plain-looking one. 」 The hand-covered villain then pointed to Izuku, all eyes on him as the villain continued, 「 He was about to punch me with everything he had, you know. 」
—————————
BoBoiBoy didn't know what was going on. With everyone talking in the same foriegn dialect as before, and with no one as his translator, he had no clue what anyone was saying.
So when the hand-covered villain suddenly pointed towards him, he could only dazely glare at the villain. But when the villain pointed somewhere, and he followed the direction, his eyes landed on Izuku. Everyone's eyes were on Izuku.
He might not know what the villain said but all the brunette could think about was how they had almost killed the greenette before. Were they threatening to hurt him again?
No. Not on his watch.
So, despite how safe it was to be in this blond man's—who he recalls was referred to as All Might—comforting hold, he needed to protect Izuku. He promised he would.
Disentangling himself sneakily from the man was harder than it was with Izuku, the man noticed quite quickly. He tried to stop the brunette but the teen managed to stumble away.
Even when his whole body ached, even when everything was a blurry mess, even when the ringing started, he stood his ground. Small sparks emitted from his hands as he glared at the villains in front of him.
"...I won't... let you hurt them...!"
Before the brunette could take another step forward, a hand had placed itself on his shoulder, making the boy turn his head. His hazel eyes met piercing blue ones.
"Young BoBoiBoy. Rest now. I've got this."
He doesn't even register the fact that the man had spoken English. The man's voice was firm but had a gentleness to it, he wanted the brunette to not injure himself any further. Maybe he could leave this to the man? It felt like it was all right to do so. He wouldn't be able to fight them off in his condition anyway.
So, he gave the man a small nod before collapsing in his arms. BoBoiBoy was so exhausted; his body felt numb; and his head was pounding.
Feeling himself get lifted, the brunette is once again in the man's arms before he is paced down, a familiar voice calling out to him.
"BoBoiBoy-kun! Are you okay?!"
He was back with Izuku.
—————————
「 Run away. 」
All Might had told them, extending his hand out as if to tell them to 'stay back'. The heterochromic boy readied himself to attack as he responded to his teacher's order with a rebuttal.
「 You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier, right? 」
「 That's a different story, Young Todoroki. Thanks. 」
Todoroki's eyes were now on him, the pro hero closed his stretched out hand into fist as exclaimed, 「 But it's fine! Just watch as a pro gives it everything he's got. 」
「 All Might, you're bleeding... 」 Izuku tried to argue, his grip on the brunette tightened as he sputters.
「 Besides, time's— 」 He quickly cuts himself as All Might gives him a thumbs up in response to his worries. The greenette stared at his mentor, worry still etched on his face as the pro hero turned to face the villains.
「 Nomu, Kurogiri. Get him. 」 Shigaraki ordered as his gaze focused on the five teens.「 I'll deal with the children. 」
The pro hero acknowledges his disciple's words, he barely had a minute left and his power was declining faster than he expected but . . . 「 But I must do this. 」
「 Now, let's clear this and go home. 」 Shigaraki said, running towards the five teens, the teens getting on their fighting stance.
「 Why? Because I am the Symbol of Peace! 」
All Might rushes forward, the Nomu meeting him in the middle as the two trade fists. Their punches were so strong it sent an explosive wind pressure with every hit, which sent everyone flying.
The five teens are blown away, literally and figuratively, the teens in awe of the pro hero's unbelievable strength. And since they were getting pushed back, that meant that the other villains couldn't get close.
Blow after blow. Fist after fist. All Might kept fighting on. Their fight was getting more and more intense with each passing second. Everyone held their breath, unable to look away.
【 He's bleeding while giving it his all...! 】 BoBoiBoy couldn't help but think. Watching the fight go on, the brunette turned to Izuku, whose face showed absolute shock.
「 He's not swinging randomly. Every single hit... is more than 100% of his power! 」 The greenette analyzed.
All Might had the edge, he was the one able to push through, the pressure was now on the Nomu. And even when it seemed like the villain was slowly getting the upper hand, it was swiftly smashed by the pro hero's sheer strength and ability. This was his way of showing his students that 'a hero can always break out of a tough spot'.
「 Hey villain, have you ever heard these words? 」
「 Go Beyond! 」 Winding up, the pro hero throws the strongest punch straight on the villain's stomach, yelling out at the top of his lungs:「 PLUUUS ULTRAAAAA! 」
The Nomu is sent in the air, blasting through the USJ's dome and flying off into the distance. The ground trembled and from afar, students might've thought it was an explosion or an earthquake, but it was from All Might—the number one pro hero, the Symbol of Peace, and their teacher.
「 Is this a comic book or something? It's like he nullified the shock absorption. His brute strength is crazy. 」 Kirishima mutters out, staring at the hole created by the intense attack.
「 What insane power... 」 Bakugou remarks, stunned at what he had just witnessed.「 Does this mean he rushed at him so fast he couldn't regenerate? 」
「 So this is the top... 」
「 Is this... the world of pros...? 」
"You have a pretty awesome teacher." BoBoiBoy comments softly, his statement causing the greenette to glance at the brunette, who was still staring at the pro hero.
Izuku followed his gaze, seeing his mentor stand with a smile. "Yeah... I do." He mumbles out, only he is still worried.
All Might held his ground, even though he was smoking, indicating his time's up. Seeing the pro hero standing angered the hand-covered villain. Watching the pro hero send his Nomu flying, it sent him into fury.
Weaker? Shigaraki is convinced that there was no way the pro hero was weaker at all. Did the pro hero use a cheat?
「 Did that guy lie to me?! 」 The hand-covered villain growled, scratching his neck vigorously before halting when the pro hero spoke, 「 What's wrong? You're not coming? 」
「 You said you'd 'clear' this or something, right? 」
「 Come and get me if you can. 」

「 As expected, it looks like there is no need for us to fight. 」 Kirishima commented as he called out to Izuku. 「 Midoriya! We should get out of here now! It'll be worse if we end up getting taken hostage instead! 」
But Izuku doesn't move. He knows. He knows that the pro hero was bluffing; the steam-like substance that comes out when he transforms is still noticeable to him. All Might is out of time.
Meanwhile, Kirishima approaches the brunette.「 BoBoiBoy, right? You're in pretty bad shape, are you all right? 」 The redhead asked, stopping in his tracks when he got a good look at the brunette.
BoBoiBoy, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows together. "I don't... understand you...?"
And that statement seems to snap the redhead's daze, Kirishima muttering out a quick apology before kneeling down. "I was asking if you were okay but looking at you closely, you definitely aren't."
"I'm okay. I've been through worse." BoBoiBoy reassured the redhead, but that didn't help ease Kirishima's concerns at all, in fact, it only increased the his worry.
"I'm more concerned than anything." Kirishima places a hand on the brunette's back, flashing him a big smile as the redhead was the one reassuring him now. "Don't worry! All Might's got it covered so everything'll be all right!"
The brunette doesn't say anything else, his eyes focusing on the greenette. Izuku knew something though, and he was going to do something, BoBoiBoy knew that look on the greenette's face. That was the look of someone who was ready to jump in.
—————————
The bluff goes on. The pro hero can no longer move, one step and he'll go back to his true form. He won't be able to keep the bluff for long. So for just a bit more . . . he needs to stall—to make these villains hesitate.
Shigaraki continues to get agitated, his scratching intensifying as he grumbles out his complaints. The mist villain comes to his side, urging the hand-covered villain to calm himself and assuring him that they did weaken the pro hero.
Kurogiri's points out the injuries on the pro hero's body; the five teens seemingly stunned; and their reinforcements not arriving yet. If the two villains worked together, they still had a chance to kill the pro hero.
Shigaraki is convinced. They have the last boss in front of them, yeah, they had no choice but to continue. They could do it. They'll kill him.

「 All Might will do something about the main bad guys Let's go help the others! 」 Kirishima's voice echoed, the redhead wrapping the injured brunette's arm around his neck, as he steadied BoBoiBoy up.
Seeing the brunette's gaze at something, Kirishima turns his head to find that the brunette was staring at Izuku. 「 Midoriya? 」 The redhead called out to the greenette.
But the greenette was stuck in his own thoughts. 「 I'm the only one who knows... 」
「 That mist guy is probably more dangerous. All Might has most likely gone past his limit. If the mist guy toys with him, I'm sure... 」
【 Surely, he's not going to— 】 BoBoiBoy's thoughts were cut off when a yell echoed from the villains.
「 This is revenge for Nomu! 」 The hand-covered villain shouted out, running towards the pro hero.
All Might could only watch in panic, the pro hero unable move. 「 Hurry! Everyone, hurry! 」 Reinforcements should come soon, but they need to hurry or it might be too late.
"IZUKUN!"
A broken yell echoed loudly, eyes shifting to the source of scream. BoBoiBoy had called out the greenette's name, his throat aching as the others quickly realized the absence of the greenette with them.
The hand-covered villain turned to his side, spotting the failing greenette flying towards him. The teen was so fast that it reminded the villain of the pro hero he wanted to kill.
Izuku had broken his legs, slightly confusing the greenette since he managed to control it before. But he made it. He could see the mist villain's hidden body, so as long as he aims at that, he can blow the villain away.
「 Get away from All Might! 」 Izuku yelled out, winding up a punch until the mist villain's warp gate appeared in front of him, a hand emerging from it.
「 This hand is... the one from back then?! 」 Izuku's horrified as he could only wait for his fate. The maniacally laughs of the hand-covered villain echoing his ears.
【 NO! 】
A red flash zipped past, the hand-covered villain yelled out in pain as he held his hand. Grunting, the villain turned to face the newcomer, his gaze hardening. 「 YOU BRAT! 」
Izuku's eyes find red ones glaring at the villains from afar. "BoBoiBoy-kun?" Upon hearing his name, the brunette looks over to him, the red glow of his eyes dimming back to its original color.
BoBoiBoy had saved him again. Three times now.
Shigaraki started running towards them again, extending his hands forward, but then gunshots were heard. The bullet shot right through the villain's hand, stopping his pursuit as he cradled his bleeding hand, hissing in pain.
「 Are they here? 」 All Might looks over his shoulder, everyone following his gaze.
In the distance, several figures could be seen. 「 Sorry, everyone! Sorry we're late! 」 The familiar voice of their principal faintly echoed. 「 I gathered all who were immediately available. 」
Up in the front, there was a dark blue-haired boy, dressed in armor-like attire. The teen shouted out loudly, even from the plaza, they could hear it. 「 I, Iida Tenya, class 1-A representative, have now returned! 」
Reinforcements have arrived. They were truly safe now.
The teachers scattered to most likely protect the students, one blond teacher in particular let out a powerful yell at the low-tier villains, and another who seemingly duplicated himself into several copies.
Shigaraki wasn't pleased. 「 Aw man, they're here. It's game over now. 」 The hand-covered villain was disappointed, but deemed that continuing now would be futile.
「 Shall we go home and try again later, Kurogir—? 」 The hand-covered villain was cut off as several bullets shot him, both in his arms and legs, as Kurogiri shielded him with his warp gate.
As the two villains were retreating, Kurogiri was suddenly being pulled back. It was the rescue hero's—Thirteen—Quirk sucking the mist villain back. It was unfortunately not enough and the two villains escaped, Shigaraki vowing, 「 I may have failed this time, but I will kill you next time... 」
「 ...Symbol of Peace, All Might! 」
—————————
Izuku watches them disappear, lowering his head down as he mutters under his breath, "I wasn't... able to do anything... and BoBoiBoy, you—"
He put himself and the brunette in danger. Maybe if he didn't rush in, he wouldn't have injured himself. But BoBoiBoy didn't care about that.
"Are you... okay, Izukun?" The brunette asked, the greenette looking up to be faced with the other's concerned expression. "Yeah, I'm okay." Izuku answered with a nod.
BoBoiBoy's face quickly turned into relief as he gave the greenette a small smile. "Then I'm glad!" Izuku couldn't help but return the smile.
「 If it weren't for those few seconds you brought me, I would've been killed. 」 All Might voiced, the two teens turning to see the pro hero, his right side seemingly deflated. 「 You saved me again. 」
Izuku's eyes start to tear up, the greenette mumbling out his mentor's name as he responds, relieved. 「 I'm... so glad you're okay...! 」
"Midoriya! BoBoiBoy!"
The two boys turn upon hearing their names, the greenette immediately recognizing it was his classmate. "Oh, Kirishima-kun..."
"Are you guys all right?" The redhead was making his way towards them, worried for their well-being. Something All Might commends him for.
「 Young Kirishima, I applaud your concern for your friends! 」
「 But wait, Young BoBoiBoy already found out and he'll find out too. Crap, wait! Damn it! 」
Realizing the situation, the greenette tried to stop his classmate from advancing, calling out to him, "K-Kirishima, wai—!"
His words were cut off, and the redhead was blocked when the floor between them changed, a wall now separating them. Kirishima looks to his side, finding his block-like teacher, Ishiyama Ken—Cementoss—was the one to create the wall.
「 We want to make sure that all students are safe, so please gather in front of the gate. We will deal with the injured here. 」 The teacher directed the redhead who responded affirmatively.
Kirishima runs back to his two classmates, relaying the directions he was given to them.
A sigh of relief escapes All Might, and the now fully deflated man sits down, thanking Cementoss for the cover. The two teachers exchange a few words, before the block-like teacher turns to the two teens.
「 And you, young man. We need to take you in with us. 」 Cementoss said, referring to BoBoiBoy.
Knowing the brunette couldn't understand their native dialect, Izuku responds for the brunette, 「 Ah, sorry! BoBoiBoy-kun doesn't understand Japanese! 」
The greenette looks over to the other teen. "BoBoiBoy-kun, you need to—" But he cut himself off when the brunette suddenly collapsed. Izuku called out to him in a panic as he crawled closer to the unconscious boy.
"Hey! Are you...?" Izuku inspected the brunette, letting out a breath of relief when he saw that the boy was still alive and breathing.
"Thank goodness." The greenette breathes quietly before promptly passing out as well next to the other, the two completely drained from today's events.
Toshinori couldn't help but stare at the two young teens—his disciple and the foriegn boy. He had several questions, but he was willing to wait until they recovered.
That's what mattered, their safety and wellness.

「 I was shot in both arms and both legs... not to mention zapped by electricity. 」 Shigaraki complained, writhing in pain as he continued to recall their defeat.
「 We lost completely... Even Nomu was defeated! All the underlings were defeated in an instant. 」
「 Those kids were strong... The Symbol of Peace was healthy... 」
「 You were wrong, Sensei! 」 The pale-haired man snarled out, lifting his head up to look at the blank screen, as a deep voice on the other side responded, 「 No, I wasn't. We were just not prepared enough. 」
「 Yes, we underestimated them. 」 Another lighter but still deep voice agreed. 「 It's good that we did it under that cheap 'League of Villains' name. 」
「 By the way, what about Sensei and mine's joint creation, Nomu? He was not retrieved? 」
「 He was blown away. 」 Kurogiri answered, receiving an aghast response, as he continued to expand and explain. 「 More precisely, without coordinates to his precise location, I could not find him, even with my warp. 」
「 I did not have time for that. 」 The mist-like man was agitated with the result of their attack, but it wasn't compared to the anger of a voice from the other screen. 「 After all we did to make him as powerful as All Might! 」
「 Well, I suppose it cannot be helped. That's unfortunate. 」 The deep voice said, disappointment in the tone.
「 Power... 」 Shigaraki started.
「 That's right. There was this brat that created a golem that managed to fight Nomu. I was thinking he had an earth manipulation Quirk but then he also had zapped me with electricity! 」
「 Oh? 」 The deep voice was interested.
「 Two Quirks?! That's unfair! He wasn't even in the roster and then he suddenly comes out of nowhere! Just where the hell did he come from, Kurogiri?! 」
The mist-like man did not have the answer he wanted though, 「 I do not know. I wasn't the one who brought him. 」
Shigaraki wasn't done with his rant however . . .
「 And then, there was one child who was as fast as All Might. 」
「 Hmm... 」 The deep voice was thinking.
「 If they hadn't gotten in the way, we might have been able to kill All Might. 」
「 Those brats... those brats! 」
「 Of course you have regrets. But this was not a futile exercise. 」 The deep voice sounded.
But Shigaraki has all the time he needs. They can't move freely right now but that's why he will become a symbol.
「 Shigaraki Tomura. 」
「 Next time, show the world that you are to be feared. 」

That concludes the USJ invasion and the aftermath is next!
I've skipped some dialogue and stuff since I don't want to retell and write scenes you guys probably already know if you watched the MHA anime or read the manga. 🥲 It's too much work for me too retell it all.
I'm going to try and cap the word limit for each chapter so I can give you guys more consistent updates, or at the very least update every other week, but the most chapters will probably still be long.
(Hopefully I can update soon, if school doesn't get in the way 😭)
See you guys sometime soon! 💜
