Chapter 10
All Might, who in hero form is always smiling, isn't smiling. Ah!
I turned my gaze back to Kei. He stared at All Might, uninterested in him completely. Instead, he turned his gaze to Aizawa-Sensei, malice clear as day in his eyes.
He held his hand up, and the purple mist swirled. That Quirk is a poison. He can turn it into a gas, liquid, or a solid form. He can use it for long range or short range. He can change the forms as he wishes with no problem. It's a dangerous Quirk on a dangerous person.
I was about to run at him, when his voice resounded in the air.
"It's fine now. I am here!" All Might spoke. Such a strong voice. You can hear the pain he had, the anger for his students and coworkers. He's angry. Angry that they're hurt. And angry that they're afraid.
I've never seen that look on his transformed face. It shakes the soul.
"I've been waiting hero. You trash of society." Shigaraki said, almost excitedly.
The thugs, however, didn't look excited. In fact, they shook at the mere sight of him. They were regaining sense when suddenly they were all knocked down.
All Might had taken Aizawa-Sensei away, holding him in his arms. I stared at our sensei. Covered in blood, bruises, and many of his bones are broken. He's so broken.
Sure, he's annoying, and he's a bit bossy, a total hypocrite, but I don't like seeing him that way. And I know she wouldn't either.
No, she'd cry.
"Sorry Aizawa." In a flash Izu and the other two were snatched away and Shigaraki was knocked back, the hand that covered his face falling off in the process.
A sudden sensation occurred and I was now next to them. I blinked a couple times.
That was . . . fast. "Everyone go to the entrance. I'm leaving Aizawa to you. He's unconscious. Hurry!" All Might instructed, setting our sensei down. "No, no, no. That's not how this works, All Might. You will die, Aizawa Shota will die, and that annoying girl will die." Kei said, nodding to me.
My temple throbbed. I'm the annoying one?! I don't want to hear that from him.
All Might moved his hand out, covering us from him. "No. I will not allow that." He spoke. I stared at him a bit as Asui and Mineta grabbed Aizawa. Izu was staring at All Might, a mix of emotions on his face.
I glanced at the idiot hero. He doesn't have that idiotic look on his face. He means business.
A frog, a scardey cat pint sized grape, a boy who doesn't even know how to control his Quirk, and a girl who really doesn't give a shit; as we are now, we'd only get in his way.
I need to protect Izu. That's the only thing I can do at this point. "Izu, grab Aizawa-Sensei and let's go." Izu jumped slightly at my sudden voice. He took Aizawa from Asui and put him on his back. Mineta was grabbing hold of his feet.
As we were about to go, he turned back to All Might. "All Might, you can't. That brain villain took One Fo-" He stopped himself, glancing briefly at the other two before back at him. "He took a punch that didn't break my arm, but he didn't even twitch. He's gotta be-"
All Might silenced him by moving his hand back. "Young Midoriya!" He turned back, the signature smile now on his face as he gave the victory sign. "It's fine!" He declared.
I stared at him a bit. He ran around this morning in hero form for quite a bit. And he was on his way here in that form. How much time does he have left?
Izu nodded and turned. I stared at them as they walked. I must protect Izu. Biting my lip, I followed, ignoring All Might's shouts as he attacked.
However, he's shouting more. Turning, I saw him punching Nomu, but the damn bird brain took it like it was nothing. What the hell is he? He's not just some ordinary person. No. he radiates a power different then people.
I watched as he continued to punch his opponent. One For All is probably one of the, if not the most, powerful Quirks in this world. And for him to be able to take it the way he is . . .
Nomu. I get it. It's Shock Absorption. Punching won't have any effect on that. No, the way to deal with that is by slicing off his flesh. Blades would be more effective in this situation.
But Nomu's different. Even if you can only take him out with sharp objects, he should still be in pain by those hits. But it's like he can't feel anything. What the hell is it?
"Where are you looking?" A chill went down my spine at his voice to my ear. Before I could turn back, I was slammed roughly into the ground. Kei placed his knee between my shoulder blades and grabbed my hair, pulling my face up. I grit my teeth, a bit of blood escaping my lip. "Kiri-Nee!" Izu shouted.
Kei glanced back at them. "Nee? Ah. I see he's the one you've been playing big sister with. How cute. For him to believe that, you must care an awfully lot for him."
Izu glared at him, but slight fear in his eyes. "I wonder what kind of face you'd make if I killed him." My heart stopped, my blood ran cold, and red covered my eyes.
I shot my hand up quick, grabbing his face, and I slammed it down onto the ground next to me before rolling away and jumping onto my feet.
Kei quickly stood up and I jumped, spun, and struck my foot out. He blocked my kick with his arm. "Stay away from Izuku." I growled. "Kiri-Nee!" Izu shouted in worry.
"Go Izu! Just keep going, I'll be there shortly." I called, jumping away from Kei, but keeping my sight on him. "But-"
"GO!" I ordered. After a moment I heard them moving again. I sighed in relief and put my fists up. Kei smirked at me. "This'll be fun. I'll take care of you and Aizawa before the heroes arrive." He lunged at me.
I quickly jumped up. He followed after and struck. I managed to dodge his fist, but his leg struck out, hitting my side. I fell to the ground and rolled a bit before standing quickly. This isn't going to be easy. Kei has been a villain for a long time.
Kei took his eyes off me and glanced in the direction of All Might. I followed his gaze and my eyes widened slightly. All Might had preformed a suplex, however the damn warp had prevented the bird from slamming into the ground. He was bellow All Might, fingers dug into his side, making him bleed.
"Nomu is as strong, if not stronger, then All Might. And he'll be the tool used to kill him." Kei spoke, suddenly in front of me. I brought my arms up to block his kick. I skid back a bit at the impact. All Might . . . he'll probably die.
I need to hurry. Cause Izu is going to- "Midoriya!" Mineta shouted. Tch. Glancing briefly, I saw Izu run towards them. "Izuku!"
As Izu made it to All Might, he launched forward, hand outstretched for All Might, part of the warp appeared in front of him. The part with the metallic object that is. "IZU!" I shouted as he was about to enter the warp.
However a familiar person descended down. He slammed his hand onto the metallic part of the warp and created an explosion, disrupting the warp hole. "Move! You're in the way Deku!" He shouted loudly.
"Katsuki." I sighed in relief.
He then slammed his hand onto the metallic part and slammed the warp onto the ground. The ground around Nomu froze along with the said creature. Todoroki?
"Ahg!" I grunted as I was slammed into the ground. "Never look away from the enemy." Kei smirked, punching my face. Clenching my teeth, I moved my knee up, hitting his stomach and kicking him away.
He lunged at me, but stopped and jumped away as Kirishima struck where he once was. "Kirishima . . Where did you . . ."
Kirishima jumped over, standing next to me, his arms hardened into his own weaponry. "I got your back Kiri." What an idiot. But a kind hearted one none the less.
Kei looked at Kirishima. "You're not worth my time." He seemingly disappeared. "Huh? Where'd he go?!" Kirishima looked around. I did as well. Where is he? "AH!" Izu and Kacchan shouted.
I turned quickly to see Kei by them. His foot on Kacchan's head, keeping him to the ground while he held Izu by his collar. "You are annoying." His poison coated his hand and he raised it at him before it solidified, forming a dangerous weapon. That's it!
I felt my eyes flash red and I lunged. "KEI!" I roared. My hair moved and some of the silver tips formed into two scythes. I controlled the weapon, striking his arm and did a back flip, letting my foot kick him from underneath his chin and making him go up.
He grunted, but landed in front of me. I ran at him, attacking him with my fists and my scythes, simultaneously.
This made him laugh sadistically before he slashed at me. His poison weapon grazed my arm and the two of us jumped away from each other. I kept my face void of emotions, refusing to allow him to see the bit of pain as the poison burned at my arm.
"Kiri-Nee!"
"Kiri!"
"Young Nozomi!"
Izu, Kacchan, Kirishima, and All Might called. Kei touched his arm, where my weapon had cut him. Looking at his blood, a sadistic smile crept onto his face and he began laughing.
"You really are something, Kiriya." He stared at me. His foggy blue eyes held nothing but a sick and twisted form of amusement.
"It may be more troublesome then I thought. Father instructed me to kill Aizawa and Shigaraki has instructed me with the assistance of All Might's death. But you're not making this easy. Well, I'd expect no less from my dearest little sister."
I glared murderously at him, well aware of the burning gazes on my back. "Go to hell." I hissed.
The two of us began to fight, our strikes going for the kill. I wouldn't lose, not to him. I'll kill him! I grabbed the base of the scythe and tore it out of my hair. Turning fast, I swung it down across his abdomen. He bit his lip as blood gushed out from the wound.
Stomping one foot forward, he swung his arm. His arm with the solid poison struck my shoulder as I attempted to get away. He had struck hard enough to pierce through my skin.
Shit, the poison, although solidified, is still an active poison that works upon contact. Kei was about to swing again, when a hand grabbed half his face. "You're a shitty brother!" Kacchan yelled before setting off an explosion.
Kei was flung away but he flipped onto his feet and grabbed the half of his face that was steaming. That's going to scar.
Kei glared at us. Of course that attack had little effect on him. "Bakugo! Switch back! I'll help Kiri!" Kirishima shouted. We glanced at him to see him struggling to hold the warp.
Kacchan clicked his tongue and looked at me briefly. His red eyes held the question I knew he wanted to ask. But he ran off regardless. As soon as he reached Kirishima, they switched and he ran to my side.
We were all in a stand off. Kirishima and I against Kei. Izu, Kacchan, All Might, and Todoroki against Nomu. The red head eyed my bleeding shoulder that was mysteriously turning purple from the poison.
"Your wound . . ." He murmured. I ignored him and got into fighting position in front of Kei. "I'm fine. Stay alert." I warned. Eyeing it a bit more, he did as I said and we stood at ready.
Kei just stood there, an angry aura coating him.
"This isn't nearly as fun. There are too many people now." He seemingly disappeared before appearing next to Shigaraki. Damn ninja skills.
"Shigaraki, we need to end this soon." Kei spoke in a bored tone. The weird man nodded. "Nomu." The birds upper body went back into the warp and back through the other.
However, because of him moving despite the ice, his right arm and leg that were frozen ice broke off. But the bird continued to move regardless.
What the hell is it?
The ice broke off and his limbs began to regenerate. This is impossible. It's not possible to have multiple Quirks unless . . .
My eyes widened and I turned to Kei. He caught my stare and shook his head. What? It's not her? Then what the hell is going on?
"His Quirk wasn't Shock Absorbent?" All Might asked in disbelief. "I didn't say that was all he had." Shigaraki spoke.
What the hell is this? If it's not her . . . then how can someone have more then one Quirk? It's not uncommon to be born with two Quirks, but three? Super strength, shock absorbent, and regeneration.
If it's not her, then who could possibly do this? "Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%. He's a super-efficient human sandbag." So he was created. That makes some sense. But who could do that?
"First we need to get our gate back. Go Nomu." Nomu moved at the speed of All Might, headed straight for Kacchan.
Using my speed, I made it in time and shoved Kacchan away. The bird was in front of me. Gritting my teeth I clenched my fist and brought it back, activating my Quirk. But before I could, I was shoved away.
All Might took the hit. And what a hit it is. Almost like One for All. I hit the ground and skidded a bit. "Kiri-Nee!" Izu yelled. I ignored his call and kept my gaze on them.
I stared at the scene in mild disbelief. Whoa. There's a trail of destruction from where All Might was forced back. He took some damage on that. "All Might!" Izu and Kirishima were bewildered and worried. As was everyone really.
"Do you not know how to hold back?" He questioned. Nomu struck at a level of All Might's. Maybe at least.
If I had taken that head on, even with my enhanced strength, it wouldn't have been pretty.
All Might is pretty beat up. His battle with Nomu is taxing. And he's probably past his time limit to remain in that form. "It was to rescue my companions. I had no choice. I mean earlier that . . . that plain looking one." Shigaraki pointed at Izu.
"He was about to punch me with everything he had, you know. Violence for the sake of others makes it admirable. Isn't that right, hero?"
He sure has a twisted view on the subject. But he's not entirely wrong. "You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent act as heroic or villainous. Deciding what's good and what's bad."
He does have a point. Who has the right to decide good or evil? "'Symbol of Peace'? Ha. You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds violence. The world will know this once we kill you!" Shigaraki's voice leeks off his psychotic-ness.
He has a good idea on the matter, but he needs to put it in better words or his point is only an idea.
I glanced at Kei. Why is he working with this guy? Kei only serves father, and father serves no one. Besides, the League of Villains is a joke. He would spit on their corpses.
Getting beat by one hero and a group of students? That's pathetic. He would never work with them. So why is he here?
"That's preposterous. The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You just want to enjoy this yourself, don't you, you liar?" All Might demanded.
"It's four against six." Todoroki spoke. Izu nodded, putting his fists up. "Kacchan already exposed the fogs weakness!" Kirishima did as well. What the? "These guys are crazy, but if we backup All Might, we can push them back!"
Kirishima activated his Quirk and his arms hardened, becoming a weapon. "Might as well. Your idiotic self needs some back up." I sent a smirk over at Kirishima who returned it. My hair moved slightly as the silver tips formed into two scythes. "No! Run away." All Might said, standing tall.
I stared at him. The place where Nomu dug into with his nails is his wound. And he took a beating from him too. Combine that with his time limit . . . he can't possibly do this by himself.
"You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier, right?" Todoroki spoke, tearing his gaze away from All Might to the villains.
"That was a different story, Young Todoroki. Thanks. But it's fine! Just watch as a pro gives it everything he's got." I stared at his back. His wounds are pretty serious, especially since it hit his old wound.
"All Might, you're bleeding. Besides times-" Izu stopped himself from revealing his time limit. All Might gave him thumbs up.
Kei stepped forward. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I want to kill all of you now. So die for me, would you?"
A dark matter scattered at his feet and surrounded him, and slowly, humanoid figures emerged, each holding a dark weapon. "What the?" Kirishima murmured in shock and horror.
I sighed and readied. "Those are made of poison, eh. Kei. Me and you. What do you say?" I questioned my brother. "Young Nozomi!" All Might turned a bit to me.
"Shut up. This isn't any of your business." I snapped, in no mood to fight my brother with these morons about. "Kiri I can help." Kirishima protested. I shook ny head, my eyes remaining on Kei, who smirked, obviously excited about fighting me. "No. Stay back. I have experience fighting these things."
Kirishima pursed his lips but did as I said and rushed over to the other's who are looking at All Might as he fought with Nomu.
Using the speed of a ninja, I appeared in front of the nearest one. My scythes morphed into swords and I tore them out.
My Quirk is the reason for the natural colored silver tips and the long hair. The hair follicles are able to harden into any weapon I so desire. I can tear them off and they form completely. And my hair regrows itself in an hour or so. Basically I have my own weaponry.
Ever so quickly, I sliced the one in front of me in half. It dispersed into liquid, falling to the ground.
Mischief glinted in his eyes. Slowly, he lifted his hand up and pointed at me. "Go." The poison soldiers ran at me. I closed my eyes.
I hate him. But I won't let him do this. I must protect Izu, Kacchan, everyone. I won't let Kei hurt them. Not my friends, not my classmates, not my sensei, not the idiot hero.
I won't stand by anymore. I'll fight. I opened my eyes as one of the poison soldiers swung his sword at me. I caught the blade in my hand and shattered the blade.
Moving the sword in my hand I decapitated the poison soldier. Moving at incredible speed, I went past half of them, going into the middle. Their heads or torso's then came clean off from my attack. It was almost impossible to see. The remaining ran at me.
As some neared I jumped up and on top of ones shoulders. Back flipping, I swiped my sword, taking off its head. I flipped again, my foot slamming onto an oncoming ones head, making it hit the ground, creating a dent on impact.
I summoned another sword and grabbed hold of it. Lunging forward, I swiped any that got in my way. As I cut down a quarter of them, one had knocked my swords away with a hammer.
I ducked under as he swung again and grabbed his arm. Ever so swiftly I jumped up, making my knee connect with what would be its face.
It dropped the hammer and backed away, but I ran forward and punched its abdomen twice before jumping up and turning, my foot connecting with its head and it decapitated with the strength I used. As it fell, one ran in front and grabbed my by my throat, lifting me up.
I swung my leg up and wrapped them around its neck in a triangle hold. The two of us fell, and with my strength, I snapped its neck with ease and flipped onto my feet.
One of my swords was by my foot, so I placed it under and kicked up, catching the blade. As soon as it was in my hand, I turned, slashing the one that was creeping up on me from behind. Six left.
I pulled my arm back and threw one sword, lodging into ones head. Running quickly, I grabbed it and swiped, finishing it off and hitting one that came to my side. Four more.
The four ran at me. Gripping my weapons tightly, I waited until they were in arms reach. As soon as they were, I turned quickly in a circle, cutting the rest of them down. They each fell, becoming a poison liquid again. All around me was the dark colored liquid.
I stabbed one sword into the ground and wiped off some liquid from my cheek. It had splattered on me a bit in that fight. "You make good time, as always." Kei spoke.
I readied my sword, about to attack, when a loud sound echoed and the wind whipped. We both turned to see All Might had begun to battle again with Nomu.
Wind pushed against us as the two fought it out. Because of the strength on both sides, it created incredible wind pressure, that continued to force us back. Not to mention the ground where they fought began to break under the sheer force of their punches.
"If your Quirk isn't Shock Nullification but Shock Absorption, then there's a limit to it, right?" All Might shouted as he continued to attack Nomu. I see. Those are two completely different things.
He's not striking randomly. And his hits are past 100%. Amazing. This certainly is impressive. He know's how to give it his all even when wounded. Not many can say that.
The two battled it out all around. Breaking everything in their path. The ground, the trees, even little building material. It all shattered on their force. All Might was punching, he was kicking, he threw Nomu down onto the ground with incredible strength, making the ground break apart.
Nomu, who had yet not recovered from the barrage of attacks, is left wide open. All Might jumped next to him and pulled back. With incredible strength, he struck Nomu.
A bright light from the impact shined briefly before Nomu was flung up, smashing through the glass dome and out of here, a loud boom in its wake. The ground and arena shook violently at the action.
You've gotta be kidding me. He just hit him out of the building. This kind of strength is absurd. How strong is this guy? That's insane brute strength.
I see. Izu always talks about it, but I never thought much of it. This kind of power is that of the top pro, huh?
"Tch." Kei clucked his tongue and jumped up and over next to Shigaraki. I glanced at them. Three left.
Shigaraki shook with rage. He brought his hand up and scratched at his scarred neck. Whereas Shigaraki looked crazy angry, Kei merely looked bored.
He may have gotten rid of the powerhouse, but bronze isn't better then brains.
