The Apex Hero: Bioterror

Chapter 23

The incident was reported to the authorities, but Shigaraki was long gone by the time they set up a perimeter. Returning to school, Aizawa revealed that the usual forest lodge trip was canceled and they'd be going somewhere else in order to try and throw the villains off.

They ended up meeting with 1-B in the parking lot while they waited for their bus. Monoma was... being himself. "Looks like class A has remedials! Aren't you supposed to be better than-"
Kendo chops him in the neck. "Midoriya has gone out of his way to help us multiple times, could you stop it with the rivalry?"

She turns to Izuku. "I heard what happened at the mall. You ok?"
Izuku shrugs. "I handled it."
Tetsutetsu steps forward. "Since you've helped us so many times and we're actually right about the last second change to the exam, we actually have a few gifts for you. Rin and Shiozaki told us you collected body parts, so we got you a few bits and pieces."
Izuku leans to the side and peers at the two 1-B members. "Did you have to make it sound so creepy?"

Before boarding the bus, Izuku was given a chunk of metal hair from Tetsutetsu, a blade from Kamakiri and a pinkie from Setsuna that he was told would grow back. After boarding, he very subtly scraped metal shavings off the blade and hair in order to consume them, and took a piece of bone from the pinkie before packing them away in his backpack.

After about an hour, the bus came to a stop and everyone got off. To everyone's confusion, rather than the camp, they were on a random cliff. Aizawa speaks. "This would all be pretty pointless without some goal, so-"
"Yo, Eraserhead! You haven't called us in a while."

Two female heroes with a feline gimmick strike a pose. "Lock on target with our sparkly eyes!"
"While our cute, cute stingers sting!"
"The Wild Wild Pussycats!"
Aizawa explains their presence. "The pro heroes who will be looking after you are members of the Pussycats."

Izuku checks his notes. "The Pussycats are a group of veteran heroes that specialise in mountain rescue. This'll be their 12th year as active pros."
Pixie Bob smothers his face with her paw glove. "We're 18 at heart!"
"...get your paw off of my face before I punch you in yours."

The other member of the Pussycats, Mandaly, stands near the railing. "We actually own this whole area. And your lodge is at the base of the mountain way over there."
Izuku, who got Pixie Bob's hand off his face, leans against the railing. "Let me guess, it's our job to go from here, to all the way over there?"
"Yup."
"And since this is UA, and more importantly, Eraserhead we're talking about, there's most likely some kind of faux villains between here and there?"
"Mhm."

Izuku transforms into his costumed state, punching his palm and cracking his knuckles. "Well shit, start with that next time." He turns to see his hesitant classmates. "Well what are you all waiting for?" He dashes at the ledge and leaps over the railing, plummeting into the dark forest below. "PLUS ULTRAAAAA!"

Kirishima hardens his body. "I'm not getting out manlied today." He leaps over the railing to follow Izuku, digging his hardened hand into the cliff side to slow his descent to a more manageable level. "Let's fucking goooooo!"
Sero sighs. "Midoriya really makes it his life's mission to make us look bad."
"Let me hitch a ride Sero, my limbs are too short for climbing!"

The 1-A students filtered down the cliff side one by one until only the stunned pros and that random kid that Pussycats brought with them were left. "...we didn't even tell them about the time limit to get food. Should we head to the lodge and cook them something for when they get there, because that was way more enthusiasm than I was expecting."

Aizawa overlooks the forest his students had just blindly leapt into. "Midoriya has been an inspiring presence in the class. You could tell them they were storming the gates of Hell and he could get them pumped for it."
"Is he single?"
Aizawa turns an unimpressed stare to Pixie Bob. "I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say that so I don't have to arrest you."
"Oh calm down, I was kidding... sorta."

Getting the lodge was actually more of a challenge than Izuku was expecting. He supposed it was only natural that his near effortless victory streak would come to an end eventually. It's rather embarrassing that sentient piles of dirt was what brought his streak to an end though.

It was well past lunch time by the time everyone arrived, and almost everyone was tired and hungry. And by almost everyone, I mean everyone but Midoriya.

Pixie Bob congratulated them. "You all got here earlier than expected. By earth devils were obliterated easier than I expected. You four over there did especially well!" She gestures to Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki and Bakugou. "I'm looking forward to seeing you all again in three years! I call dibs!"

Izuku levels her with an unimpressed stare. "If you're that worried about your age-"
"I'm not old!"
"-I have a solution for that."
"...you what?"

Izuku rubs his chin in thought as he voices his thoughts. "Aging is caused by cells splitting and replicating, with the DNA becoming damaged and corrupted over time. I could make something with my quirk that fixes the damage. Don't misunderstand, you won't be immortal, but it should add 20, maybe 30 years to your life span if I supply you with the stuff regularly and extend your fertility period by a fair bit as well."

Pixie Bob is stunned into silence for a moment before she grabs Izuku by the face with both paws. "Diiiiiibs~."
"...speaking of ages," he carefully removes her "what's with the kid?"
Mandaly gestures to herself. "He's my nephew. Kouta, come over here!"

Kouta comes over and Izuku extends a hand. "Names Izuku Midoriya." Rather than introduce himself or shake the hand, Kouta chooses to punch Izuku in the crotch. Due to his anatomy, he doesn't feel it, and rather than curl up on the ground, he simply winds back his foot and sends it into Kouta's crotch, using Tetsutetsu's genes to give his shoe a steel toe.

This unfortunate combination of enhanced strength and metal leaves Kouta lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth. "How's karma taste you little bitch?"
"Dude, you kicked him so hard I think the only thing he can taste is his own balls!"
