The Power of the Abyss
Nine stood stunned seeing izuku seemingly come back from death's door, but stunned doesn't even begin to sum up what the villain leader is feeling. A pit of anxiety and fear was boiling up inside him, the being in front of him felt as if he was standing at the event horizon of a black hole. Everyone around felt their powers seemingly being pulled from them from just standing near him. The air itself was being pulled towards the dark aura around him, the silence being broken by the crack of lightning. The red and green electricity arced about the air around his body, heroes and villains alike shudder hearing the crack of thunder.
"He-he's... he's using both as one." Katsuki says under his breath, Ochako being the only one to hear him. She looks back and sees the dark arua collapse in on itself covering Izuku's body in a thin layer of absolute darkness.
"It's like looking into a bottomless pit." Shoji says taking a half step backwards away from Izuku.
"Th-this... This is just an illusion. A second wind after a dissipated storm. Nomu." Nine stammers before regaining his composure, he orders the giant creature to attack Izuku.
The lumbering titan of a noumu raises it's rotted forelimb and tries to slam it on Izuku. The class grimaces as the arm makes contact but, there's no sound from a collision. No dust, no crash from the impact but, the creature's arm is noticeably shaking from the amount of force it is exerting, trying to crush Deku. Slowly the creature's arm starts to be lifted higher and higher as Deku floats up from the crater with a single finger held extended from his hand, and raised over his head, holding the entire weight of the dragon's forelimb. The Dracholich tries to cancel out his quirk with the erasure sight, it's eyes flash a blood red illuminating the ground in crimson spotlights trained on Izuku. Suddenly, faster than they could even perceive he had disappeared from where the creature had struck him, reappearing on top of the creature's neck. Reaching high into the air, Deku stabs his hand into the exposed skull of the creature. The crunching of bone reverberates off the surroundings as the creature roars in pain. A pulse of green light appears on the hand that had forced its way into the dragon's skull as each and every quirk is ripped away in an instant.
"WHAT?!?!" Nine shouts in disbelief as the red spotlights of the eyes suddenly shut off after the pulse of power.
Reacting to the pain, the dragon shakes its head about violently trying to loose Deku from his position on it's head. It succeeds in losing Deku from it's head but soon it is ensnared by a series of tendrils and black mist as both All for One and Black Whip work in tandem to strangle the beast by wrapping around its neck. It roars, feeling its throat being constricted by the two whip-like appendages. The class watches as Deku's free arm starts congeel a mass that forms into a large blade. This blade is almost as long as his body, being made from the Spearlike Limbs, Bone Screws and Rivet quirks. In a single motion, the tendrils and whips pull tout and Deku lunges forwards at an incredible speed. He flips as he almost hits the ground, the blade oozing with black necrotic blood that was inside the Dracholich. The class watches as a moment later the head of the noumu falls off, having been cleanly cut off of the creature, creating a massive thud as it hits the ground.
"H-How? I-In one attack?!" Nine shouts in disbelief, using his quirk he summons a lightning bolt to strike the entity that is Deku but he is seemingly unscathed. Suddenly, Nine feels a heart palpitation and clutches his chest falling to one knee.
"Nine!" Slice shouts seeing her leader double over in pain.
"Th-The kid. H-He sent the kid somewhere." Nine responds as he tries to catch his breath from what basically is a heart attack.
"We need to fall back. I'll send for the others." Slice says before firing a flare up into the sky. This action alerts Deku who is standing over the dead noumu making sure he stole it's quirks.
"U... Use... Th-the portal." Nine gasps as Deku lunges towards the two of them.
Slice pulls out a small device before clicking the center of it, out of the air, a purple portal similar to that of Kurogiri materializes. Before Deku can slash his bladed arm at the two of them, Slice and Nine manage to get through the portal to escape. Deku collapses from the strain where he stood but, the aura still lingered. That dark aura began to take it's own farm, a form of something the class had feared long ago. The form of All for One, the father, in the flesh materialized out of thin air, floating above them in the pose of a hanged man.
That visage was something they had all hoped they would never see as long as they live, floated silently in the air. A silhouette of the former nemesis floating above where the battle had taken place. The chaos had died down, the villains escaped but only for now. The entity says nothing not even looking towards the others that look on in mortal terror. The entity floats down to where His successor laid unconscious and hanging on to life. Picking up his son he floated towards the class. The image was burned into their minds, All for One holding the unconscious body of Deku. Some tightened their fighting stances thinking they would have to fight for their life. The others were overcome with mortal terror seeing the image and the most powerful of them seemingly slain. The silence still blankets the landscape, the beating of their hearts audible between their ears as it depends towards the ground. Laying his child down at the feet of a hero garbed in pink, the entity merely turns around and begins to walk away. Before they could speak, it disappears back to the void it had seemingly vanished just as quickly as it appeared.
His wounds were extensive, radiation burns covered a large portion of his chest and the majority was centered in a spot similar to All Might's own injury. He is covered head to toe in deep lacerations and his skin is stained green in some areas due to the toxic breath of the dracolich nomu. His eyes were the worst off, having been directly impacted by a laser beam, the flesh had all but been cauterized by the intense heat rendering him blind at least to their knowledge. Broken bones and a compound fracture of one of his ribs as well as large patches of bruising from internal bleeding. To say he was a mess is an understatement and the class scrambles to get him to safety and to a doctor. If nothing was done, and soon, then he would surely perish.
Several Hours Later...
Ochako holds the hand of Izuku as she sits by the tatami mat bed he is resting on, several healers on the island are pouring every ounce of their ability into saving Izuku's life. Momo had made an EKG and Heart rate monitor in case things go south, and if that was to happen, Kaminari was on standby to act as a human defibrillator. They had brought Mahoro and Katsuma to the refugee facility at an electrical plant and several of the other heroes were preparing food for the residents of the island. Katsuma sits next to Ochako and watches as the healers try to fix the multitude of normally fatal wounds on his body. After even longer, the healers run out of power and wipe the sweat from their brow, he is stabilized, at least for now.
"H-How is he?" Ochako asks, her voice breaking as she stares at Izuku who is still unconscious.
"He's stable but we're unable to heal the more serious injuries he has, the radiation burns, the scaring to his eyes and the trauma to his head are things we can't fix. He needs a real doctor. Lastly, we couldn't fix his sight. His eyes are practically destroyed, in order for the regenerative quirk that you told me he has to work, we need to cut out the burned tissue so he can regenerate it through his quirk." The older gentleman says before apologizing for being the bearer of bad news.
"What about his lungs?" Kaminari asks, looking at the burns along the left side of his body.
"He needs a surgeon to cut the irradiated tissues out so he can regenerate. It seems his regenerative quirks do not work if the skin has been burned to the point of ash or from damage dealt from radiation. I'm sorry, but this is the most we can do, he will need a ventilator, perhaps your creation quirk using friend can assist with that." The old man replies before taking his leave.
"I'll go get Yaomomo before she burns out her quirk making generators for the people. I think just 10 will be enough." Kaminari says before putting a hand on Ochako's shoulder in a calming gesture. "People might take me for an idiot but, I know what to say and when to say it to the one who needs it. Everything will turn out alright." He says before leaving the room allowing Ochako to stay by Izuku's side.
"C-can I-I try?" Katsuma's voice rises up from next to Ochako. But he doesn't get a response, Ochako remains silent. Katsuma swallows a lump of nervousness in his throat before placing his hands on Deku and trying to heal him.
"Kaminari said I should come in here, that I needed to make a mask that Midoriya can breathe in." Momo says entering the room, once again Ochako says nothing and just stares at Izuku's form on the mat. "Ochako. He's going to be fine, he just needs this." Momo says holding up an iron mask.
"I-It's scary." Katsuma stammers seeing the skull like visage of the mask.
"It's the same one his father wore at Kamino but, I made some alterations to it so it's more of him. The part that rests over the mouth is the same design as his mouth guard." Momo says holding up the damaged guard next to the iron mask.
"Let me put it on him." Ochako says, taking the mask from Momo.
Katsuma stops trying to heal Izuku's wounds, but he was successful in healing the broken bones and stopping the bleeding. Ochako takes the iron mask and looks at the skull-like face on the front before crouching down. She taps Izuku with her hand, making him weightless. The heft of the iron mask slightly weights her arms down. She makes that weightless as well as one of the healers helps Ochako put the tube of the ventilator down Deku's trachea allowing him to breath. With a metallic hiss and lock the mask locks into place forming a seal around his shoulders. Momo turns on the mask and it spurs to life intaking oxygen for the wearer. Krrrooooooohhh..... Pppaaaaaaaaaahhhh.... The metallic mask intakes and expels air as Izuku breathes into it.
"Did you have to make it sound exactly like Darth Vader?" Ochako asks angrily, to which Momo just shrugs.
"Kaminari said it was a good idea so I went with it, and I couldn't figure out how to keep the inhalation function quiet so Darth Vader it is." Momo responds by defending her decision.
"I stopped the bleeding and his bones aren't broken anymore but... I couldn't heal the rest." Katsuma says with slight tears in his eyes,
"It's alright little one. He's alive and breathing, he is going to be ok."
