~ Chapter 23 ~
Y/N pushed the boys off of her and got up to see All Might standing there waiting for them to make their next move. She was about to tell the boys to move and find Stiggy before dealing with All Might, but Katsuki had to get up and march towards him without a second thought.
"Katsuki! Stop!"
"Kacchan!"
"Move."
Y/N didn't listen and went in front of him again as Izuku shouted.
"I told you, there's no way you can win facing him head on!"
"Shut up. I'll win. That's what it means to be a hero!"
Y/N was so irritated with this and punched him straight in the jaw, staggering him back as he held his jaw in pain. She moved towards him and twisted his back and held his arms in place behind him.
"Hey! Let go!"
"NO! NOT UNTIL YOU LISTEN AND THINK BEFORE DOING SOMETHING STUPID! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF A DEATH WISH?!!!"
Katsuki was about to yell back when they heard All Might's voice from above. They looked up a little too late.
"For now, here's a present for the one who wants to run away!"
He had grabbed a guardrail and pinned Izuku to the ground. Y/N pulled Katsuki away and was about to block the attack when Katsuki pushed her away again and the giant fist went straight towards Katsuki's stomach, making her eyes go wide. Katsuki saved her again before she gets a hit. She watched helplessly as he was pushed back into the air and he forcibly threw up. Y/N didn't had time to cringe and ran towards Izuku and tried to lift the guardrail off of him when All Might already came before her. He grabbed her by the head and flung her towards the building. She yelled as she crashed through the pane of glass after glass towards the wall, hitting her back. She could feel her bones cracked after hitting the wall very hard. Izuku yelled her name and tried to get the metal off of him.
Y/N's head pounded like it was about to explode and her vision blurred as she tried to get up. Her nose started to bleed from a headache and she whipped it off. She looked to see her ankle was stuck to the rubble after she crashed. Y/N brought out her claws and cut them into pieces, freeing her. She was about to get up when she realized she couldn't move her leg and it's broken. She can't give up and rest now when Izuku and Katsuki are in danger. She searched for anything to help put her ankle back in place and found two cements that are inches apart that will definitely fit her ankle. Y/N dragged herself towards it and placed it between the cements, bit her lip, hold onto her leg, and pulled her ankle back, making a cringing crack. She growled in pain, feeling the tears coming out as well as the sweats that dripped down since she's in a hot area.
She checked to see her ankle back in its place and is able to move both legs and slowly walked towards the broken window, holding her head in pain and looked down from above to see Katsuki and Izuku struggled to get up as All Might walked towards Katsuki and talked to him. She couldn't hear what he's saying since her head is still in pain and she shook them so she could hear and heard what Katsuki said that made her blood boil. She's not deaf and is positive that her hearing Quirk never lie.
"If I have to get help from that scum, then I'd rather lose..."
Just as she was about to get out, Izuku charged in his direction who broke free from the guardrail in his One For All and punched him right in the cheek. This surprised her.
"Don't you dare say that you'd rather lose!"
Y/N needs to act now and couldn't help but feel as if she's trying to unlock her true power as she did and found her body being moved on its own and saw herself all bright. Her hair, eyes, and her body are glowing F/C. She had no idea what's going on and was already flying towards All Might who was only paying attention to where Izuku and Katsuki had gone. She sucker punched him on the cheek that left a burn mark and swiftly kicked him far and he crashed down the broken street towards the broken building. She didn't know she can do that and felt her power disappeared and her body is no longer glowing.
"What... was that..?"
Y/N shook her head and ran towards the alleyway as she followed their scent.
"Y/N!" Izuku gasped to see her as he held Katsuki over his shoulder as he ran further along with her. "You're okay!"
"Bastard, put me down!" Katsuki growled.
"It's fine."
"I said, put me down!"
Katsuki elbowed him in the face and Y/N gasped to see her friends tumbling and stopped and carried them. She placed them against the wall, feeling that they should be safe for now. Y/N was about to sit down for some break when she heard a roar. A loud roar. It seems to get the boys' attention as they heard it too.
"I'll be back. You guys think of a plan."
Y/N didn't give them a chance to speak and she ran towards the sound as they grew louder. Once she made it, she saw a big cage and it shook in place and saw Stiggy inside. She was headbutting the cage to try and break free.
"Hey, Stiggy."
Stiggy perked up and roared happily at Y/N.
"I'm going to get you out. Trust me, okay?"
Stiggy did nothing and stood there, showing that she trust her. Y/N brought out her big claws and started to pick on the lock. It was hard and it's not working. She touched her hair to think when she felt a clip beside her head. Y/N took off her clip and look at it and remembered watching the movies with Eijiro when people use hairclip as a one way to unlock the door as a ticket way to escape from prison or haunted house. Y/N then started picking on it again with her clip and it worked. Stiggy got out and nudged her softly, thanking her. Y/N patted her head and put her clip back into her hair before taking out the bag of cabbage and lettuce and started feeding her for a bit.
"Come. I'll take you to my friends."
Stiggy then followed her as they headed back and flinched when they heard an explosion. They quickly ran over only to see Izuku against the wall with a large dent with smoke coming out and Katsuki in front of him with his fist against where he punched beside his head.
"What the heck?! Have you lost your mind?!"
They looked back to see her with Stiggy as they ran towards them. Stiggy roared at Katsuki, clearly seeing him as threat, but Y/N calmed her down with a pat. Katsuki ignored them and look back at Izuku who couldn't stop shaking and thought he was going to die.
"I won't say it again, damn nerd..." Katsuki said with a calm and raspy tone. "Against that crazy speed, no matter how you run and hide, you won't be able to avoid fighting."
"But we don't have a chance in a fight. Not against All Might-"
"Shut up, bastard! I'll kill you!"
Izuku stopped talking and listened along with Y/N.
"He won't even budge with half-assed power. I figured that out earlier with those consecutive hits."
Katsuki then turned to Y/N.
"And after Y/N landed that hard punch and kick with those insane power that I never knew you had in you. Like you unlocked something."
"You noticed it.."
"Y/N? You have another Quirk?" Izuku asked.
"No, it was part of my Quirk still and it happened automatically for some reason. It wore off after I use it and I have no idea." she said, staring at her hands.
"Can you do it again?"
"I don't think so. But I'm starting to get what your plan is, right Katsuki?"
Katsuki nodded as he started out his plan.
"So..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N was hiding in the shadow with Izuku as they waited for Katsuki's signal. Stiggy is with them and she told her to stay put and wait until she calls her. On cue, All Might is running around the streets looking for them.
"Where are you looking?" Katsuki called out, revealing himself out of the alley.
He blasted All Might in the face and again and again as he made sure to keep a distance from him and called out.
"Y/N! Deku!"
Y/N leaped out into the open with Katsuki's gauntlet on her right arm in front of All Might with Izuku also leaped out behind him with the other one. Katsuki rocket himself in the air.
"Shoot!"
"Nothing personal!"
"I'm sorry, All Might!"
They both triggered it and in no time, created a monster explosions as they combined together. They flew backwards as they could feel the intensity of the heat waves. Y/N grunted from the weight of the gauntlet that forced her arm back down to the side.
"How heavy is your stupid gauntlet...?!"
"Run, idiot!" Katsuki yelled at Izuku.
"Right!" Izuku quickly followed.
"Stiggy!" Y/N called and Stiggy followed her as they both ran after the boys with much speed as possible.
"Almost there... Almost at the escape gate!" Izuku said, seeing the escape gate. "It seems cuter than it needs to be, but as long as one of us along with Stiggy gets through, then we pass!"
"That's good!" Y/N said while running.
"It doesn't look like All Might's chasing us. Don't tell me we knocked him out...?"
"Bastard, didn't you keep saying there was no way we'd beat him, you idiot?!" Katsuki yelled at Izuku in anger. "There's no way he was knocked out by that, scum! The next time he catches up, it'll be my turn to blow him away with my gauntlet!"
"Yes, yes. And then?" All Might asked in the middle between Izuku and Katsuki.
"Gyah!!!" Y/N screamed in fright.
Katsuki was about to blast him, but he punched him, knocking him back and Izuku, destroying the gauntlet at the same time, except Y/N who still has the gauntlet and pushed Stiggy to move her forward.
"What're you surprised about?"
Y/N wanted to help but not with putting Stiggy in danger.
"Even like this, because of these weights, I'm nowhere near my top speed. Now, die, heroes!"
Katsuki got sent flying away after getting kneed on the chin, crashing into the nearest building.
"Kacchan!"
"Katsuki!"
All Might grabbed Izuku by the wrist and Y/N grabbed Stiggy close to her and tumbled over to avoid his grasp.
"Who do you think you're talking to?!"
Katsuki was about to attack when All Might flung Izuku and crashed his body into Katsuki's knocking them down hard and they both crash into the dirt, leaving her and Stiggy left to deal whether they should run or fight. He had Katsuki under his boot and Izuku held him up in his iron grip and stared at Y/N.
"I wanted to say that was splendid punch and kick you delivered on me Young L/N. So, what are you going to do since you and Stiggy is stuck between the decision. If you run away, you won't be able to make it and if you fight, you won't pass or be able to save the dinosaur. Choose wisely." he said and showed his scary glowing blue eye.
Y/N gotta think fast in order to and realized since he's trying to intimidate her, then she can with her eyes. She started to think all the bad memories that made her want to destroy those that took her happiness and her family away. Including those that tortured her with experimenting her like a rab rat. As she did with those angry red glowing eyes, All Might couldn't help but flinch at those very eyes that couldn't be ignored nor avoid. He was shaking surprisingly. He's the Symbol of Peace, so it's still surprising that he can be easily intimidated. He couldn't move as he stare into her eyes and let go of the boys as they catch their breath.
"Izuku, go and bring Stiggy to safety to the escape gate." she said without looking back. "I don't know how long I can hold him, but you gotta do it fast."
Y/N kept on glaring at him as he started to sweat and she started growling.
"What? No, I can't leave you, Y/N."
"You have to in order to pass this exam. Katsuki and I will hold him off. I'll only slow you down."
"But-"
Katsuki didn't want to hear this and grabbed Stiggy by the tail, much to her dismay and made Izuku sit on her back. He's going to ride a freaking hard head dinosaur that surprisingly fit for him to sit on and he's not heavy for Stiggy.
"I'm gonna send you to go fast! You better hold on tight with that rock dinosaur freak! I don't like it, but Y/N's right. With what we've got right now, this is the only way to win!"
"Hey, wait! Don't tell me-"
"Die...!"
Katsuki slapped the butt of Stiggy with a big explosion, sending them flying for a bit, but further away from them. Stiggy roared in surprise as they then landed on the ground and she started running faster with Izuku's arms around her neck, but not too tight.
"Are you guys serious?!"
Katsuki's arm twitched, making him grunt in pain. He's on his limit. As for Y/N, she's starting to lose her concentration and was about to blink. She knows that Katsuki can't use his large scale attacks without taking risks if he overuses. She can't hold All Might much longer as she did her best to think all the things that anger her as All Might can't stop shaking. Suddenly, an idea popped her head and it's different from her original idea since the situation was difficult.
"Katsuki!" she called out without looking back, making him turn to her. "Remember our fight at the Sports Festival?"
"When you won?" he scoffed.
"Something like that." she said with a giggle. "But do you think you can at least do the blinding thing that you did on your final attack? I believe it would work."
Katsuki perked up, remembering doing that and looked at her. She nodded as she stare at All Might who realized that through the intimidation.
"T-That's not gonna work what you did to me earlier, Y-Young Bakugo. Y-You c-can't run away from m-me as long as Young L/N make me stay p-put..!"
"We'll see about that." she said with a last glare as Katsuki jumped up into the air and brought out his palms.
"STUN GRENADE!!!"
Y/N quickly closed her eyes, snapping All Might out and she brought out the grenade gauntlet from her right arm and released another big explosion along with the light to blind All Might. All Might quickly covered his eyes with his arms. The blast was larger than other attacks. He tried to get to his bearings and put his arms down and was about to move while trying to see through the smoke when a loud click made him stop his tracks.
"I didn't say about running away didn't I, All Might? It was only to distract you."
All Might was in disbelief as he looked down to see her smirking up at him with a yellow cuff locked onto one of his wrists. Katsuki was on the ground in pain and he looked up and smirked that they had won.
"Got ya."
A loud horn was heard as the speaker announced.
"Team Midoriya, Bakugo, and L/N have passed! All matches for Class 1-A's practical exams have been completed!"
Y/N sighed in relief and fell onto her butt in exhaustion.
"Finally.."
"Good riddance..!" Katsuki grunted.
All Might couldn't help but smiled in admiration for his students.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kiss...!"
Y/N, Katsuki, and Izuku are in the Recovery Girl's office as they spend the day being healed and bandaged. They had a lot of injuries and broken bones than other students. Katsuki was knocked out, Izuku had to lie down on his belly with his butt in the air, and Y/N was lying down on her back with her head wrapped up as she had some broken bones from her back and a few broken ribs. She even have to cover her nose with a few tissues in case for another headache. As for Stiggy, she was fine and good.
"T-Thank you very much, Recovery Girl..." Izuku groaned.
"All Might, you really don't know how to hold back, do you? If you'd hit any harder, you would've done permanent damage! Especially Midoriya's and L/N's back, I was barely able to heal his, but hers is easy since she only got hit by a cement as she told me!" scolded Recovery Girl as she pointed a big needle at All Might who was nervously sweating as he had a regret look on his face.
"Bakugo probably won't wake up for a while. For now, the three of you should rest here."
"Yes, ma'am." Izuku nodded.
"Understood." Y/N nodded, looking at Katsuki with worry.
Izuku and Y/N then fell asleep with their eyes closed.
A lot of things happened. Some learned their own weakness and moved a step forward... Some were taught what is necessary for a hero... Some were thwarted by high walls... Some learned of their own powerlessness... Some moved forward toward a new goal... With these bittersweet feelings, their final exams ended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the bar, Shigaraki was staring at the photo of Y/N from Sports Festival.
"Are you curious, Tomura Shigaraki... about that girl, Y/N L/N? Or are you obessed with her?" Kurogiri asked.
The bell runged after the door was opened.
"Shigaraki..."
They turned to see the same grey haired man with glasses and smoking cigarette in hand.
"You all have been the talk of the town for the past few days. I hear you're starting something big-"
Shigaraki quickly hid the photo in his pocket.
"And? Who are they?"
Dr. Wu came out from his lab to see what's going on. The grey haired man chuckled and moved out of the way to let the special guests come in. Kurogiri, Shigaraki, and Wu stared as two figures revealed themselves.
"So it's you, huh?" the bored voice said.
It's the same black spiky haired guy that Y/N encountered earlier from the train.
"I saw a picture of you, but you look gross in person..."
"Wow, the hand guy!" the cheery voice exclaimed.
It's a relatively petite, fair-skinned girl who is very prone to blushing and is frequently described as having a rather pretty face. She has slightly inward-tilting eyes, irises bright yellow and their pupils' thin slits, making them somewhat resemble those of a cat, and her wide mouth is also rather feline, as both her upper and lower canines are more pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth. Her hair is a pale, dirty ash-blonde and is styled into two messy buns, numerous wild strands sticking out at all angles from their centers and where they're fastened, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs to frame her face.
Her casual outfit consists of a plain with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which is paired with a red scarf that she ties loosely below. Over this, she wears an oversized beige cardigan with a rather long hem and cuffs, and pockets on either side, the right one shown to hold a number of trinkets on either a keychain or a cellphone strap. She sports knee-length black socks and dark brown dress shoes with thick heels, the same as the outdoor uniform shoes students traditionally wear in Japanese schools.
"You're friends with the great Stain, right? Right? Let me join, too! The League of Villains!"
They start moving a third time. Every time they drive them back, they come back stronger.
