Deku looked at the group of villains and sighed
Deku: mercenaries? Assassins?
The villains began to laugh and Deku analyzed everything as best as he could
Deku thought: what the hell is going on here?
He noticed how they weren't moving very much, almost as if they were waiting for something
Deku: are we doing this or what?-
Deku suddenly felt danger sense go off and narrowly dodged an attack, after landing he looked to see a high-end Nomu
Deku: A High-end? Then that means-
Izuku was suddenly attacked by all the villains at once, one of them shot out a projectile while the others started closing in
Deku's body was exhausted, his movements were slow and sloppy, and he could feel every attack getting closer and closer to hitting him
Without realizing it, he stepped on some kind of landmine and was sent flying with shrapnel shooting into his leg
Deku was just barely able to land properly, even with his injuries, out of nowhere he heard a screech and was attacked by a supersonic scream from the Nomu
Before he could even get up he was hit with some kind of electricity quirk
Deku thought: Think damnit! How can I get out of this?
Yoiichi(the first): Ninth! I think you should retreat!
Deku: you might be right... But that family-
Deku's leg was caught by some type of tentacle and he was thrown through into a building, the pain was really starting to catch up to Izuku
Deku thought: what if I can't win? My body won't respond, I can barely see right now...
Deku looked next to him and saw a pile of bodies, all belonging to the recently dead, what haunted him the most was the permanent look of fear and despair on their faces, these people were in their final moments scared and praying for a savior, he was supposed to be that savior, and he failed
Deku: this legacy... It's too much, Mom, Dad, Toshi, everyone... I'm sorry I can't
In his moments of self-pity and self-loathing, feeling utterly hopeless Izuku realized something
Deku: why did they stop attacking?
He looked up, and as the rain poured Izuku noticed the crowd that the villains were surrounding
Deku: s-stop, Hey! I'm your target!
He started to crawl towards them, using what little strength he had, but quickly noticed that Rainwater wasn't the only thing going down the storm drains
There was a stream of blood, flowing towards Deku, he focused and realized every person in the group surrounded we're children
High-end: Stop- Us!...Hero!
It was hard to tell because of the rain, but it appeared to be crying
The electric villain didn't give Deku the opportunity, he set off his quirk and before he knew it, Deku's body moved on its own
He used float and leaped into the air, grabbing the kids with Black whip and setting them down gently
Kid 1: I'm scared!
Kid 2: where's my mommy!?
The kids began to panic, and Deku wasn't sure how much longer he could stay up
Just by looking at them, he could tell they'd been struggling for a while, all these kids looked like he did when he was their age, they all looked malnourished and dirty. Their hair was all messy, their skin was pale, and their eyes and cheeks looked sunken almost reminding Deku of Toshinori, except they all seemed very injured.
Deku thought about Eri and Kota at that moment, the last thing he wanted was for them to live like that
Deku turned around and took a deep breath
Deku: give me strength, I swear to you guys I'll take a break after this okay, just help me
As the rain poured even harder Deku finally realized that part of his mask was ripped, and his eye was exposed. Using float and Black whip Deku stayed off the ground and decided to take out all his frustration on these villains
Deku: don't worry anymore... Because I am Here. You guys go hide and take this phone to call heroes
Deku said throwing his phone to the kids
Deku powered up to 75% and lunged forward, he punched the high-end away and used one of his black whip tendrils to grab one of the villains
Lifting him by the neck, Deku used the villain's mutated body as a blunt object and threw him toward his comrades, making sure to use as much force as possible
A villain tried to hit Deku from behind, only for Deku to grab his arm and break it over his knee
The villain screamed and Deku used the exposed bone to stab another villain, causing the two to scream in pain
The electric quirk user tried using his quirk on Deku but Deku sent him into the air Using Black whip, Deku jumped up and kicked him so hard he went flying into a nearby building
As Deku descended he was tackled by the high-end, not wasting a second Deku bashed its head in using a new ultimate move called Black Gauntlet, where he used black whip wrapped around his arm and infused it with energy from Fa Jin, the move was based on Kirishima's Red Gauntlet.
He bashed its head In over and over, not letting up even when its head was a pile of mush, after a few minutes he finally stopped and was breathing heavily
Deku was covered in blood, his exposed eye let the whole world know just how tired he was, he was breathing heavily and hunched over
Deku: last chance... Run, or die
Deku looked up at the villains surrounding him
Villain: with the big man, it's either succeed or die
Deku: I'm going to assume he gave you a location to meet him at?
Villain: nah, he just wanted us to kill you
Deku: I hope that was the truth
Deku used black whip and wrapped it around all of their necks, he tightened his grip and slowly started lifting them into the air
Deku: are you sure that's all?
Villain: G-Go to Hell!
Deku threw them over the street lamps and watched as they suffocated, only at the last second letting them go unaware and unfazed by who he might have just killed
He walked towards the kids and made sure they were okay, his body was exhausted and he was about to pass out, after a few heroes arrived he left and found an abandoned Hotel, using it as a place to rest.
The heroes who arrived were in shock
Hero: what happened here?
MT lady: did the villains try killing each other?
Kamui woods: the amount of bodies, both villain and civilian is sickening...
Hawks: good thing Deku stopped them, where is he now?
Endeavor: he signed off for the night... I'm not sure how much more he can take
Hawks: what do you mean?
Endeavor: the last time I saw him... He looked awful, I can feel Inko's spirit trying to strangle me for letting him get like this
Hawks: the kid is a stubborn one, what should we do?
Endeavor: I don't know, but whatever it is, it needs to be quick... Today he killed several villains
Hawks: don't get me wrong, they deserved it, but... He doesn't deserve this burden
The two pro heroes look at all the body bags and felt a wave of guilt, for failing to be there. Both for the civilians and for
Deku
