Hey! Welcome back! I hope y'all enjoy this chapter and May the Fourth be with you!
Tense. 6 heroes and an ex-vigilante stood rigid facing different poles, waiting in silence for the enemies to arrive. Grey capture gear floated around glowing red eyes, orbs of blood circled the vampire and beasts of dirt and stone rose from the very earth.
Fire blazed around as lightning engulfed Izuku's figure, the flames forming into blades, which bounced around him threateningly as Amaterasu was firmly grasped in his right hand. Gold and Green lightning arced to the ground and up the spear as his left hand shook with untamed telekinetic energy, ready to be released at a moment notice. Some of his webs shook, the enemies were advancing on their position; he shouted –
"We've got incoming!"
Three black portals ripped apart the space they were once at and two people stepped out as well as a black skinned Nomu. The first who came out was a woman with all black clothes with black hair and void like eyes, her face was contorted into a sadistic smirk, as the one flanking her came out before leaving into the forest. Izuku didn't get a good look at him, only that he had a top hat and a white mask on. The smirk on the woman's face never left as she said –
"Ah, Izuku Midoriya! Just the person we're looking for!"
'We?'
Then she said –
"Haven't you noticed that we can warp? Your little traps are ineffective."
Commanding, Izuku shouts -
"Mandalay go and rendezvous with the other students! Blood King watch your back! Tiger you too! Ragdoll search them and find their weaknesses! Pixie Bob set your beasts around this area! Set up a perimeter! Eraserhead you're with me! Let's move!"
Action was immediate and the orders were executed. Both Eraser head and Nova Blaze moved towards the female and Nomu, as the female says –
"Oh? You're approaching me?"
Izuku says nothing and goes to her left as Eraser head flanks her right. As they get closer, so does the female as she announces –
"You will die soon, so you might as well know my name; Umbra! Vanguard Leader!"
9 swords fly at the woman – Umbra – but are deflected by 9 swords made of complete shadows. Izuku snarls and twirls Amaterasu around before jabbing it at Umbra, it misses its mark and digs into the ground, where Izuku pulls it back. He releases his telekinetic energy from his left hand as a wave crashing towards Umbra who smugly smirks and copies his move, releasing a wave of shadows.
Nomu slugs over to Eraserhead, who had swiftly dodged the wave of shadow and right into Nomu's path. Knowing his quirk wouldn't work on the beast, Eraserhead charges to melee distance, ready to fight hand to hand. His hand is caught by the Nomu's overly large fist before being tossed into a tree with unholy amounts of strength.
Out of the corner of his eye, Izuku sees his Dad go flying into a tree and runs over to check on him. Before Izuku could even reach his Dad, Nomu swung at Izuku who dodged it easily and returns the punch with the power of One for All. Crunching bones sound of as Nomu is flung away from Izuku and back to Umbra, who sighed with disappointment. Vlad King went over to Eraserhead and took him inside, shouting –
"Midoriya! I'm evacuating Eraser!"
Izuku glazed over to Vlad and nodded in thanks. As he turned back around, he saw that Umbra opened a portal and stepped through, leaving only Izuku and Nomu in the clearing with Tiger and Pixie Bob teaming up to find the enemies weakness. Thrusting forward with Amaterasu, Izuku pierced the Nomu's flesh all the way through as it yelped in pain; the wound regenerated seconds later, so Izuku heated the battle up. Using his quirk, he set Amaterasu ablaze with fire that was hot enough to stop the regeneration from happening again. To his surprise, when he hit the Nomu again, Amaterasu could no longer pierce the flesh, which caused Izuku to flinch back and think;
'This Nomu changed in battle. If it has a stimulus that harms it, it evolves the Nomu in a way in to prevent that harm again... That means I have to destroy it in one shot...' Sharp eyes hone in on the exposed brain, the one glaring weakness of the Nomu, and Izuku builds up fire, much hotter than the core of the earth and spears all of it directly into the brain of the Nomu. Cries of agony come from the beast, before it falls still, dead. As he walks away from the corpse, he hears Mandalay's frantic voice echo in his mind –
"Midoriya! Have you seen Kota anywere?!"
Blanching, Izuku runs through the forest, a trail of fire following him unknowingly, causing the forest to set on fire. One swift leap later and he arrives at Kota's den, where he was cornered by a large man cloaked in a hotchpotch cape of black and grey. Said man was towering over the tiny child, who was crying tears of fear and anger, his fist raised to punch the child. When Izuku landed, the wind produced blew the hood of the figure off revealing a manic blond with a mechanical eye replacing one eye with a scar running down his face. It clicks in Izuku's mind to who this was: Muscular.
Rage consumed Izuku, blood crimson flames poured from the boy as he flooded the area with an intense wave of killer intent, all of which focused onto one man. Muscular smiled, wide and gleeful and says –
"You! I can't wait to crush you!" Muscle fibres burst from his skin as he shouts –
"GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD !"
Ozone ripped through the area as lightning aggressively flickered off Izuku's form, no longer was his lightning green and gold, no it was the same as his flames, crimson red as the white was onyx black. Green eyes glowed an unearthly glow, fury and pure, unbridled rage swam in those neon forests as the rest of his face was covered by shadows.
Meeting, two fists collide, a shockwave ripples out from the collision as the ground beneath crumbles and breaks apart from the power bursting from Izuku alone.
Izuku stands, breathing heavily as Muscular looks to his fist; it was broken, burnt and mangled, blood leaking from the tears on the skin. It was a gruesome sight. Using his telekinesis, Izuku grips Muscular's throat, lifting the murderer high in the air as he struggled to get the oxygen into his lung, his face turned purple before he fell unconscious from the lack of oxygen.
Smiling, Izuku picks up a shell-shocked Kota and takes him back to the camp; only to reveal a literal battlefield. Both classes were fighting against a group of villains: One that had nasty burn scars all over his skin, Another carrying a giant magnet on their back, a third that was wearing a costume that was black and white before he duplicated himself, another Nomu with wings this time and white skin, a female with short purple hair tied in a pony tail and clocks for eyes and finally a familiar face, Armory was here firing an automatic machine gun at a riot shield.
The area was a mess of scorch marks, golem remains, ice remnants, and other things. It was clear that the class was outclassed, they were backed onto the defensive, hiding around trees and debris in the field as they dodge the onslaught of the villains. Cobalt fire shot towards Yaomomo, who saw the flames coming closer and closed her eyes in fear. Quick as a bullet, Izuku pulled the flames towards him and then redirected them back to the one who sent them. Scar face dodged the blast with a roll to the side as the staples on moved up in disinterest as he says –
"We found our target."
All eyes of the field fall onto Izuku with an unconscious Kota on his back. Some backed away at the barely contained rage that his visage was holding, a ticking time bomb waiting to go off and the villains shuffled closer, wanting to get their target and then get out just as fast. Just as he was about to activate Ethereal Flames, a voice rang out –
"I wouldn't do that if I was you..."
On the roof of the cabin, a figure hopped down with someone on their shoulder as they come out of the shadows, it reveals a lady with blades coming from her wrists and steel fingernails, all of which point into the back of a knockout Shouto Todoroki.
Frozen, Izuku looked to his boyfriend and then to his class before he stopped using Ethereal Flames; Noticing this, the lady purrs –
"Good boy. Now, if you want your little boyfriend to live, I suggest you give yourself up now, or he gets a knife in his back. What do you think, Izuku Midoriya?"
Conflicted, Izuku had no idea what to do; if he goes with them, will the others be safe, or will they be attacked. Will his boyfriend be okay?
Resigned, Izuku holds up both his hands, his cane hidden down his leg pants. He felt his hands get put behind his back as a hand grabbed the back of his neck; they were rough and course, like sandpaper, which means this is the flame user. Izuku hands Kota over to Uraraka, who was crying at seeing her friend getting taken. As he is walked over to the portal, he hears the lady say –
"I think we'll take this one for a bargaining chip. Bye Heroes!"
Izuku's eyes widened as he saw the lady shoulder Shouto and take him with her into the portals that had been opened for the villains.
When the portals closed it was like a gavel of a Judge being hit, two of their classmates had been abducted; Shouto Todoroki and Izuku Midoriya.
What will become of them in the clutches of the Villains...
