"-Hero too, I am a hero too, My heart is set and I won't back down, Hero too, Strength doesn't make a hero, True heroes stand up for what they believe! So wait and see!" Kyoka sang out with all of her heart, her fingers plucking and strumming away at the strings as her vocal cords and microphone brought out the beautiful voice she had within her throughout the entire stadium. She smiled and stuck her jabbed her finger out, pointing towards the crowd, "Sing it!" shouted out loudly as she played on her bass.

"People will judge for no reason at all, Yeah they might try, To say your dream's dumb, Don't listen!" The crowd sang back towards them.

Kyoka smiled and looked to her bandmates briefly before she grasped the microphone with both hands and gripped it, bringing it to her lips as she began to sing with the crowd, "They may look down on me and count me out, I'm going my own way..." she smiled and took a deep breath before she sang out loudly, "They may look down on me and count me out, I'm a hero, I've got music!" She sang out loudly followed by a loud cheer from the entire crowd. Momo's poppers went off from her arm and scattered into the crowd, as Yuga's lasers shot around the stadium, and Katsuki's pyrotechnics went off one by one starting from the sides of the stage going towards the center. Kyoka continued to sing as she noticed an audience member on his phone rushing to get to the front of the crowd pushing and shoving people aside as he did, "Hero too, I am a hero too, My heart is set and I won't back down, Hero too, Strength doesn't make a hero." Kyoka grew suspicious and immediately snaked one of her earphone jacks downwards and plugged it into the ground and focused in on the man rushing to get to the front.

"I'm near to the stage Mr. Hibiki! I'll set the bomb off as soon as I get there!" He smirked as he got to the very front and began to take his jacket off.

"True heroes stand up for what they beli-" Kyoka froze for a moment when she came to realize what he said, "EVERYONE BACK AWAY NOW!" She quickly shouted throwing her bass aside diving towards the man, with Izuku, Shoto, and Katsuki doing the same.

The man froze in place before his chest opened up showing what at least had to be at least 40 kilos of plastic explosives rigged to explode, his grin was wide as he held out the trigger in his hand but before he could press it a random bystander who looked to be around 26 years old filled with courage tackled him to ground, covering the explosives with his own body, shocking all of the heroes.

"No don't!" Izuku shouted as he landed on the ground and tried to dash towards the bystander to get him of the suicide bomber. But, it was too late.

"Die all of you!" The bomber screamed as he pressed the detonator.

The room filled with screams as suddenly the whole stadium was rocked with the powerful explosion, Shoto quickly made a thick ice wall as a barrier to protect the surrounding civilians. The air in the stadium quickly filled with dust and smoke. The area where the bomber once was completely shrouded in a plume of dirt, dust, and smoke.

Izuku and Kyoka quickly ran through it as Katsuki screamed at everyone to get back and Shoto told them to start evacuating. The dust soon cleared around the suicide bomber who was completely obliterated in the blast with little evidence that he even existed. But the random bystander, he was slumped over on the ground, when Izuku rolled him over, he put his ear to his chest, "I don't know how but I think he's breathing! I think it was his quirk, there's not even a scratch on him!"

"Or on the floor, I think he absorbed all of it," Kyoka mumbled to which Izuku nodded in response. She stepped closer to get a better look at the bystander, "He looks familiar..." She looked up as the smoke activated the sprinkler system and it started pouring down on them.

Izuku took his ear off his chest, "I wonder what his quirk is, it's probably an absorption-type quirk since there's no damage at all on him or the floor."

"Well thank god for that! That could've gone horribly wrong!" Denki huffed as he ran to the edge of the stage and jumped down, he pushed his now wet hair out of his face when his eyes went wide and he quickly backed up, "Guys get back that's a villain!" He shouted referring to the bystander as he climbed back onto the stage.

Izuku tried to back away but suddenly he was grabbed by the collar by the civilian who's blue eyes had suddenly shot open. He devilishly smirked as he stood up, holding Izuku up by his collar, "Such a squirmy little insect!" He let out a loud laugh as the water rained down on his head, his light brown hair sticking to his neck

Izuku growled as he reeled his leg back, "Shoot Style: St: Louis Smash!" He screamed as his powerful kick landed on the civilian's face, the pressure sending a powerful gust of wind across the entire stadium.

The civilian stumbled back smirking, "Was that it? I thought you were the number one hero?" He laughed before he suddenly threw Izuku down onto the ground with so much force he created a crater on the stadium floor, "Pathetic." He grumbled as he turned to Kaminari, "You! Come here I want you dead!" He grinned like a madman as he calmly walked towards the stage. Steam came off his body, it shrouded his body like a mysterious white misty blanket, increasing his ominous feel.

Kyoka quickly got in his way and plugged in her earphone jacks into the amplifiers on her wrists, "Stop! How could you take a kick like that to the face without flinching and who the hell are you?" She shouted as all of her friends surround him.

The villain cleared his throat and took his jacket off leaving himself in brown dress pants and a white polo, "Oh how rude of me, I'm Hiroto Hibiki, but you wouldn't know my name since well none of you have figured it out." He laughed and smirked as he combed his hair back down to its slick back style, looking around, "My, my, this sprinkler system washed out all of the gel in my hair. Onto more important matters, I'm more commonly known to you so-called pro heroes as Shockwave... horrible to meet you all!" He slowly rolled his sleeves up, "Is anyone going to pick up Mr. Top 1 hero Deku here or shall I? I expected more fight in heroes such as you guys but I guys I was wrong."

"Don't underestimate me you, second-rate villain! Die!" Katsuki screamed as he charged at Shockwave, "Howitzer Impact!"

The powerful impact threw up more smoke and dust into the air but as it settled his friends gasped to see Shockwave standing there with his fingers wrapped around Katsuki's neck holding him up as he did with Izuku, "Ah Mr. Bakugo, my favorite hero! So much ferocity and aggressiveness! Too bad your bark is worse than your bite!" He teased Katsuki with an evil smirk, as even more steam came off Shockwave.

Katsuki spat in his face before sticking hands into Shockwave's face, "Zero Distance Stun Grenade!" He screamed before unleashing an extremely bright and powerful explosion in the villain's face

Shockwave quickly let go of Katsuki as he stumbled back covering his face screaming as he covered  his eyes with his arms, "Damn it I can't see!" He screamed as he stumbled backward away from Katsuki.

Katsuki smirked and charged at Shockwave again, "Everyone attack him now!"

"Okay!" Everyone shouted in response.

"Howitzer Impact!"

"Flashfreeze Heatwave!"

"Tornado Tail Dance!"

"Piercing Claw of the Dusk!"

"Red Gauntlet!"

"Heartbeat Surround!"

"Octoblow!"

"Recipro Turbo!"

Izuku suddenly dashed out of the crater and reeled his fist back as he sped towards Shockwave, "Take this! One for All 100% Detroit Smash!" He screamed as his fist impacted Shockwave's torso.

Shockwave was immediately shrouded in a thick white mist as he was sent flying down the stadium, tumbling to a halt near the center. Even more white mist came from his body as he laid on the ground, the water from the sprinklers wetting the entire floor, creating a small pool of water in the villain made crater, the mist quickly grew in size obscuring their view of him.

Denki quickly ran to them, "Guys we need to call the police, that's the A rank villain I captured earlier today! He's very dangerous!"

Izuku nodded and looked to the shroud of white mist, "Do you know what his quirk is? Does this mist have anything to do with it?"

"No, not really but I must admit that it does add a cool effect to the bad guy look." Shockwave spoke calmly as he walked through the mist, not a single bruise, not even a scratch evident on his body, "If you're so curious about my quirk I'll tell you about it!" He clasped his hands together grinning wildly as he glared at Denki, "After that, I'll kill you. Anyways, my quirk essentially allows me to absorb any attacks and I take around 30% of its energy and I store it in me, I can then use all of that stored up energy in an attack of my own in the form of a kick, punch, elbow, anything really. I wish I could distribute the energy over attacks but at least I can pick which attacks get the energy."

Shoto's eyes went wide, "Does that mea-"

"Yes when you all attacked me, I stored up all the energy... wanna see the full potential of my quirk in action heroes? I'll be more than happy to show you!" Shockwave smirked as he reeled his fist back and aimed it at the ground. He laughed maniacally as his fist hit the stadium floor, for a brief moment nothing seemed to happen, then, the ground beneath them began to crack and crumble, soon a large amount of energy was suddenly released and everyone was thrown off balance. The ground began to tremble as the floor began breaking off in large chunks, the destruction following a visible ripple in the ground. As it slowly moved outwards, the center point being Shockwave's fist.

Denki screamed as he was thrown to the center of the stage and into Katsuki's drums.

Izuku and Katsuki were thrown against the walls with immense force.

Shoto tried to protect himself by encapsulating himself in an ice ball but it was just easily shattered as the debris smashed into him, pinning him to the ground.

"Yaomomo get down!" Kyoka immediately turned on her heels and ran to Momo, tackling her to the ground and hugging her tight to try to protect her.

"Jiro no!" Momo screamed as the ripple of destruction caught up to them and flung both of them towards the scaffolding of the stage, Kyoka impacting the metal bars with a painful crash, landing back first. Momo quickly flipped Kyoka and her around and grew a big mattress under them to soften their landing, she quickly checked on Kyoka, "Jiro are you okay? Please tell me you're okay!" She cried holding her cheeks gently in her hands, wiping away some blood the dripped from a cut on her forehead.

Kyoka gave her a weak smile, "As long as you are I'm fine Yaomomo, it's just my back." She let out a soft weak laugh before she let out a rough and painful cough which cane with blood, "Help me up we can fight him together!" She tried to sit up and suddenly screamed in pain as her back made a painful cracking sound.

Izuku screamed as he threw a piece of rubble off himself, "I'm not finished yet!" He dashed towards Shockwave screaming, He balled his fist and punched him in the abdomen. What happened next was an astonishing display of power. Izuku unleashed a barrage of punches to Shockwaves face and abdomen with such power each hit creating a gust of wind and a sound of a powerful thud every time, and such speed and ferocity that Izuku landed four more hits by the time Shockwave's body even registered the first, "One for All United States Smash Barrage!"

Each hit knocked back Shockwave a few centimeters as he took hit after hit, with each impact his body seemed to generate more mist. With Izuku's final hit Shockwave was thrown off balance as he panted, trying to catch his breath, "I must admit, I can't keep up with you Deku, you have too much power that you can dish out too quickly. I won't last." He admitted with a wild grin on his face as he slowly held out a detonator to which he quickly pressed the button before smashing it against the floor.

"What was that detonator for? Another bomb here? It's too late the place has been evacuated Shockwave!" Izuku grinned and closed his fist with a fiery determination in his eyes.

"Oh I know~ I was counting on it~" Shockwave laughed menacingly as he got closer and closer to Izuku, "You could definitely beat me if you kept it up, my quirk couldn't keep up. But then who would rescue the civilians from the suicide bombers hidden among them in the evacuation busses." He smirked and sat on a piece of rubble, shaping and combing his hair, "Of course those civilians wouldn't die if you went to rescue them right now, shouldn't be a problem for the top heroes right? Mr. Bakugo, Shoto, and Deku of course!" He cleared his throat and smirked, "You have around 10 minutes to save all the passengers, better get going."

Katsuki gritted his teeth, "Half-and-half bastard let's go! We can't let this second-rate villain win!" He screamed as he suddenly blasted through the rough.

Shoto nodded before he zoomed forward with his ice, "Midoriya! We need to go! The rest can handle him on their own! We need to rescue the civilians, be smart about this!"

Izuku screamed in anger before getting in Shockwave's face, "You're going to lose Shockwave!" He shouted before he quickly dashed out of the arena.

Shockwave dusted off his hands as he walked towards the stage, "Now that they're out of the way... Give me Chargebolt! I want him dead!"

"You Can't Stop Twinkling: Supernova!" Yuga screamed as he fired his powerful navel laser to keep Shockwave pinned. Shockwave was suddenly thrown to his knees when Yuga's large laser beam hit him from behind. "You must face moi first!" He smirked, hiding the grimace of pain that he had from the painful stomach ache he was getting.

Momo left a soft and gentle kiss on Kyoka's forehead, "Stay here honey, I'll be right back, I need to help our friends!" She wiped away her tears as she took off, quickly rushing to Denki's side, "Get up! We need to beat him! We can if we just wo-"

Denki screamed in anger and frustration, "No we can't! He's too strong!" He gripped his hair in anger before letting out an anger-fueled scream, "We can't beat him..."

"Come here, twerp!" Shockwave shouted as he suddenly grabbed Yuga by the neck, gritting his teeth in anger, "How stupid can you be? The more you attack the more power I can hit you with!" He laughed maniacally as he tightened his grip around Yuga's neck "Let me show you what I mean again~" he smirked, glancing at a piece of rebar before Shockwaves used the energy he stored up from Yuga's attack to throw him at the pile of rubble.

"Wait no-AAAAAHHH!" Yuga screamed in pain as his abdomen was pierced by the rebar, going through him like a hot knife through butter, his support item shattering into pieces as he impacted the metal support "F-finish him off... Moi is done~" he mumbled in pain as he coughed up blood.

"Aoyama!" Denki grinned angrily and huffed in anger pushing Momo gently aside "You want me? Come and get me!" He began running towards Shockwave before shooting his pointer near him "Take this! Indiscriminate Shock 2 Million Volts!" He screamed as his electricity surged through the ground and hitting Shockwave.

Shockwave grinned as he picked up the pointer and twirled it in his fingers "Is that all you got?" He laughed as he walked towards Denki, leaving a trail of mist as he did.

Denki's eyes went wide "How are you taking that? That's how I beat you..." He closed his fists in frustration "Then take this! Indiscriminate Shock 200 Million Volts!" He screamed in pain as he let out a surge of electricity so powerful it began to short circuit the air conditioning.

Shockwave winced in pain stumbling to his knees "Damn it... you're stronger than I thought-hmm?" He looked up in confusion hearing Denki.

Denki had both his thumbs up with a derpy look on his face "Yay!"

Shockwave chuckled as he crushed Denki's pointer in his palm. He took a step forward before falling to his knee for a moment "Damn it" he gritted his teeth in pain. He picked himself off the ground and walked towards the overloaded Denki, picking him up by his hair "You actually hurt me, but still you couldn't beat me, foolish heroes." He chuckled before he threw Denki at the floor, with so much force he created another crater.

Momo's eyes watered seeing all his friends being gravely injured when she noticed something. Her eyes followed a water droplet as it fell from the sprinklers and met with Shockwave's skin, immediately turning into steam or mist, but the steam and mist only increased in size and quantity whenever they attacked him with high powered attacks. She quickly turned and ran to Ochako who was helping her friends by lifting off the rubble pinning them to ground  "Uraraka! Get me up there!" Momo shouted pointing towards the sprinkler system.

Ochako looked at Momo and nodded "Okay Yaomomo!" She touched Momo's arm and she suddenly started floating.

Tsuyu wrapped her tongue around Momo's leg "I'll swing you up there Yaomomo!" Tsuyu quickly flung Momo towards the ceiling of the stadium.

"Thank you, Tsu!" Momo flew towards the ceiling grabbing the metal trusses that held up the sprinkler system, and Ochako quickly releasing her. Momo quickly ran up and down the trusses shutting off the sprinkler system  "This is really high up!"

Kyoka's eyes went wide as she looked up and saw Momo on the sprinkler system, she quickly began crawling towards the stage "Yaomomo be careful!" She cried out in pain as he back cracked every time she moved "Take this!" She screamed as she plugged in her earphone jacks into the sound amplifiers on her hands and attacked Shockwave.

Shockwave brushed off the attack and quickly looked up just as Momo shut off the last sprinkler "You figured it out~ Good job Creati, you were always one of the smarter heroes... too bad you'll die today!" He screamed, grabbing a piece of rubble throwing it at her, using the energy he absorbed from Kyoka's sonic attack.

The stone rubble missed Momo by inches but still threw her off balance, enough to cause her to fall. She screamed as she fell to the ground, time seemed to have slowed down as she plummeted to the stadium floor below, flashing a smile at Kyoka "Beat him Jiro!" She mouthed as she grew a landing mattress on her back. She screamed in agony as she hit the floor, the landing mat wasn't fully grown yet so she still slammed into the stadium floor below, her left arm breaking in two.

Shockwave slowly walked to her and pressed his leather shoe into Momo's back, pushing her to the ground, "You're smart, you really are Creati, you figured out that I was using the A/C and the sprinkler system to cool myself off because my body turned the extra energy into heat. That's commendable, nobody's ever survived long enough to figure that out." He chuckled before taking a handful of her hair, picking Momo up and bringing her to his face "I just wanted Chargebolt but you had to make it so hard, now I have to kill you all."

Momo growled before defiantly spitting on his face, "You won't kill us all." She said in a strained and painful tone.

"And why is that?" He answered as he wiped the blood and spit off his face, smirking as he gripped at Momo's hair harder.

"Because we go plus ultra!" Kyoka suddenly screamed.

Shockwave turned his attention to the stage to see Kyoka, standing with shaky legs, using her bass to support her weight, "Put her down!" Kyoka slowly raised her earphone jacks as she grit her teeth, her bones in her back cracking with every move she made her face twisting in pain but a smile still shone through.

Shockwave simpered "I think those are a very poor choice of words Earphone Jack~" as he gripped at Momo's neck and began tightening his hold, choking her.

"Just hit him Jiro! Do it no-" Momo screamed in pain she kicked her legs back and forth as her air was cut off.

"You do mean to put her down like a dog right? Like, put an end to her pathetic life?" Shockwave laughed and smiled pleased at himself, "Even without the sprinkler system I don't need to cool myself off with your attacks Earphone Jack, your amplifiers just don't have the power behind it. You're next after I'm done with your girlfriend here~" he tightened his grip further, making Momo scream with nothing coming out due to the lack of air before she passed out from the lack of oxygen, but he kept tightening his grip her neck starting to turn a purplish-blue from bruising.

Kyoka's heart sank as she saw Momo's body go limp, she screamed in anger throwing her bass aside, standing on her own two feet, shaky but standing, "But these have the power!" She screamed before her earphone jacks suddenly extended sideways and plugged into the concert's massive speaker system, she smiled with tears in her eyes, "This is for hurting my best friend Kaminari and for hurting the love of my life! Improvised Special Move!" She closed her fists taking a deep breath, "HEARTBEAT MAX DECIBEL!" She screamed before her sonic attack blasted from the massive speakers of the concert.

Shockwave dropped Momo onto the ground as he winced in pain, his body heating up quickly from the amount of energy the sonic attacks had with the greatly amplified volume, his body started failing him as his body temperature went up as his quirk absorbed as much energy as it could, "I. Hate. You!" Falling to his knees as his body couldn't take much more. He closed his fists, "This isn't the end of this!" finally his body gave out and his body collapsed onto the ground before being flung across the entire stadium, slamming into the wall at the very back. His body couldn't take much more heat, his quirk had absorbed too much energy.

Kyoka quickly unplugged her jacks from speakers with heavy breaths, "I-It worked..." she sighed in relief before her eyes shot wide remembering Momo, "Yaomomo!" she screamed in pain as she tried to walk but instead fell off the stage her back broken, she couldn't get up anymore so she crawled, wincing and groaning in pain towards Momo's body as she quickly embraced it, holding tight and close, "Yaomomo! Please wake up!" She screamed her eyes quickly filling with tears.

The rest of her friends gathered around them, "Yaoyorozu..."

Yuga walked over leaning on Mezo for support, his hand keeping pressure on his stomach, "Oh no, I'm sorry Jiro. I tried to distract him for as long as I could..."

Kyoka gently brushed some hair out of Momo's face, "Please wake up baby..." she whispered her voice shaky and unsteady, her arms holding Momo close and tightly.

"G-give me 5 more minutes~"

Kyoka's eyes suddenly lit up as she started laughing and crying at the same time as a smile grew on her face, "I love you Yaomomo! Thank god you're okay!"

Momo smiled and gently cupped Kyoka's cheek, "I love you too Jiro!"

Kyoka suddenly leaned down and kissed Momo deeply, their lips meeting and her hand drifting down to Momo's, their hands matching briefly before they slowly intertwined their fingers. As they slowly broke their kiss, they both looked at the friends who were smiling.

Momo had a confused look on her face, as she adjusted herself on Kyoka's lap, "You guys aren't surprised that we just kissed?"

Everyone shook their heads laughing as Tsuyu spoke up, "We all knew you liked each other since the first year at U.A. Yaomomo, it really wasn't a secret. I mean we all saw how you two looked at each other back then." She blatantly said before showing a small smile.

Kyoka and Momo looked around them and saw all their friends nodding in agreement before they both began laughing and gave each other another brief kiss, Kyoka gently running her hand through Momo's hair, "Well in that case... guys this is my lovely girlfriend Momo Yaoyorozu! The most beautiful girl I've ever met~" she whispered and kissed Momo on the head holding her close.

Mina squeaked and blushed, covering her reddening cheeks with her hands, "Oh so you guys really aren't FWBs!" She facepalmed herself, "Why didn't you tell me!"

Momo laughed before resting her head in Kyoka's arms, "We did try and tell you!" She tittered before smiling at Kyoka.

"We did Ashido." Kyoka leaned in towards Momo's ear and gently brushed her hair aside, "You guys take care of Aoyama, I'll keep Yaomomo company."

Everyone nodded and Mezo helped Yuga outside, "Come on Aoyama, let's get you to a hospital. Ochako please call an ambulance."

"Okay! Hang on, help is on its way!" Ochako replied as she pulled out her phone and called the emergency services.

"You were right, I was stressing over nothing Yaomomo," Kyoka whispered gently brushing her cheek over with her thumb. She sighed and gently planted a kiss on Momo's forehead before she looked towards Shockwave who was slumped over buried in rubble, unconscious.

"First the attack on Midoriya and Ochako's Hero agency now this he said this wasn't over."

" I wonder what could be next?"

"I wonder..."
