The Mask

  Izuku fell out of the misty purple gate, landing hard on his arm. He looked around, spotting a large group of villains not so far away, and a few of his classmates fending them off.

  Or at least, they were trying to.

  "Midoriya, are you okay? You landed pretty hard there!" Kaminari asked.

  "You don't need to break yourself Midoriya, just go and look for anyone else who needs help!" Yayorozu said.

  Yayorozu, Jirou and Kaminari were fighting a losing battle. Jirou had taken a bad hit to the face, and Kaminari was on the verge of idiocy. Yayorozu was tiring, her various creations in different states of obliterated around the mountain zone.

  Izuku shook his head, staggering to his feet.

  "If you guys retreat, I can blast them all away! My arm is less important than your lives!" Izuku said.

  Jirou shook her head.

  "We can't risk it dude. You can't control the wind blasts, and going through with that gamble will only make you a liability alongside me and Kaminari. Save your strength for when we know it won't come back to bite us!" She said.

  Izuku wrung his hands, looking around.

  If only there was some way for him to help, if he could defeat the villains without using One for All...

  Izuku's eyes landed on that damn mask. It had followed him again. Whenever he was in trouble, he would spot it nearby, without fail. It was like it was taunting him.

  "Go on, you know you're useless without me.." it seemed to say.

  Izuku bit his lip. He would never hurt his friends.. he'd just go overboard on the bad guys... It was better them than his classmates.

  The greenette came to a decision.

  "I have an idea. It's a terrible one, but I garuntee we'll all be safe."

  Yayorozu smacked another villain away. She sighed, thinking for a moment.

  "Alright, as long as you don't put yourself out of commission!" She said.

  Izuku chuckled darkly.

  "Don't worry, I won't..."

  He picked up the wooden mask, holding it up to his face.

  Jirou looked at him like he was crazy, until he spun around and around, becoming a tornado of limbs, clothes and magic.

  The green tornado spun around his classmates, knocking the villains away with long, rubber arms.

  Izuku came to a sudden halt, no longer spinning, and no longer dressed in his PE kit. His skin was green, and he had a wide, block toothed smile. His hair was a brighter green than before, and his PE kit had become a pinstripe yellow suit, similar to All Might's.

  The students stared in shock at Izuku. What... Happened to him?

  Izuku grinned, spinning around to face the villains.

  "Good evening gentlemen. What can I help you with today?" He asked.

  One of the villains scoffed.

  "Who the hell is this fucker?" He asked.

  "Fucker? I barely know her!" Izuku said, whizzing forwards and honking the villains nose, throwing him into the flood zone nearby.

  Several of the villains panicked and either charged at the greenette or fired their quirks at him.

  "OLE!"

  Izuku dodged a barrage of flame by stretching his body sideways in an impossible curve around the fire.

  "Giddy up!"

  He leapfrogged over a charging bull villain, then spun in the air and landed on his back, kicking his heels in.

  He rode on the bull Villain's back, throwing out a few "Yee Haw"s and "ride'm cowboy"s.

  The villain himself folded most of the others like tinfoil, stomping on them and butting them with his head, trying to somehow throw the cartoon character off.

  Izuku backflipped off of the bucking villain, his outfit changing as he spun through the air.

  He landed at a podium that had materialised from knowhere, and thwacked a stick against the wood.

  "Step right up here, don't be shy! Nobody likes a bashful leather head!"

  None of the villains moved, seemingly frozen in astonishment as colourful lights shone on Izuku from.. somewhere.

  "MOVE IT!!" He yelled.

  Once the remaining villains gathered, Izuku pulled a balloon from his vest.

  "For my first trick... I'll do something for you son." He said, nodding at a villain to his left.

  He blew up the balloon, then twisted it into all sorts of shapes, eventually presenting the villain with...

  "A giraffe! There you go son, now get outta here, you bother me. Now-" Izuku pulla out another balloon and blows it up. "For you son. Little body English.."

  Izuku pumped his arms back and forth, twisting the balloon around until it resembled..

  "A French poodle!" He said, holding it out to the villain.

  A momentary look of joy overcame the criminal's face, before Izuku crushed the balloon animal, and ripped it apart.

  "Sorry son, the dog was rabid, had to put her down. And now, last but not least, my favourite..."

  Izuku pulled a pitch black balloon from his vest, blowing it up and twisting it around, pulling it apart and wrapping it around itself into an odd shape. The balloon suddenly shifted, or morphed into a more solid appearance, the cold steel wobbling as it righted itself into it's correct appearance.

  "A Tommy gun!" He exclaimed, leveling it at the villains.

  A look of shock, betrayal, then horror flashed across their faces, before they all turned around and scrambled to escape the madman.

  Izuku fired the gun at their heels, kicking up dirt and dust as they fled. He never drew blood, but they were all terrified out of their minds. What kind of demon was he??

  Izuku tossed the gun away, then turned to his classmates, a self satisfied smirk on his face.

  "You were good kids, real good, but as long as I'm around you'll always be second best, see?"

  He reached around the back of his head and screamed as he peeled the mask off.
