{If you have will, then nothing can make you stay still}
(The lyrics are absolute gibberish to me. I got the lyrics from the internet, and listened/watched the AMV whilst writing this chapter and half the time, the lyrics did not match the actual audio at all so I am super confused. Hopefully, I co-ordinated the parts correctly though)
"Alright brats, get ready for the next one." Aizawa grumbles, sliding further into his scarf.
"Hai sensei!" Class 1-A choruses and sits down in seemingly nothing.
The screen flickers on and the music starts.
"Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains"
Midoriya in a hero costume, quirk powered up, hand reaching towards the sky, whilst a substance covers the sight of Overhaul.
"This is... the Shie Hassaikai Raid." Uraraka mutters, earning a re-assuring squeeze on the shoulders from Tsu, who kero-ed forlornly.
"Welcome to the war, we've only begun, so"
Eri is seen clutching Mirio's red cape, and a flashback to Deku holding Eri protectively, Deku's hand reaching out and then Eri standing on the rocks determinedly.
"Pick up your weapon and face it"
Midoriya punching and kicking apart the falling debris, while ascending up
"There's blood on the crown, go and take it"
Midoriya's foot bleeds as he steps on a piece of falling rock and his face clenches up in pain but he carries on going upwards, hand reaching out to Eri.
"He's injured," Shoji states "but he still pushes past the pain."
'Like Training Camp' Shoji adds to himself privately.
"That's Midori for ya!" Mina exclaims, smiling fondly at her classmate.
'Though it'd be favourable if Problem Child didn't have to be in pain so much.' Aizawa thought to himself, already thinking up a lesson plan.
"You get one shot to make it out alive, so"
Midoriya readies his hands in a motion to catch a falling Eri who reaches out to Midoriya
The screen flashes white.
"Catch her Midoriya." Todoroki says, bluntly, though his eyes shine in tense excitement.
"Higher and higher you chase it"
Midoriya catches Eri in his arms, and they are in the midst of air.
"Yes Midoriya-kun!" Iida exclaims loudly
"It's deep in your bones, go and take it"
Overhaul reaches his hand out and pillars of rock lash out towards the pair.
"This is your moment, now is your time, so"
Midoriya does some dodging acrobatics and his hand and face flashes with red lightning.
"Prove yourself and"
The screen turns black before Midoriya twirls in the air, breaking and dodging the pillars of rock, green lightning from his quirk flashing around him, red cape still wrapped around Eri.
"RISE, RISE"
Midoriya launches out, face seeming to be screaming.
"Make 'em remember you"
Midoriya throws a punch but seems to fade away.
"D-did he just teleport?!" Kaminari yelps
"What the hell- so manly!" Kirishima yells, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Maybe Midoriya is using his quirk at full here? His quirk is strength enhancement and it does make him faster, so if this is his quirk at full power, maybe his quirk makes him so fast, it looks like he can teleport!" Momo remarks, earning an approving nod from Aizawa.
"RISE
Push through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you
RISE"
The force of Deku's hit breaks the water flowing from the holes and breaks the rocks, the wind blowing at Sir Nighteye's hair.
"Sir Nighteye..." Tsu mumbles, resting her head on Ochaco's shoulders.
Midoriya clutches Eri and jumps to the sky away from the rock pillars that threaten to stab through the pair
"Welcome to the climb up, reach for the summit"
Midoriya tightens the knot of the red cape that connects Eri to his back, quirk brightening Izuku's glaring eyes
"Visions pray that one false step lead the end, so"
Midoriya readies himself in a fight stance, his quirk illuminating him in a glow of green.
"Tch, so this is the nerd's full strength? That damn Deku better make that quirk his own alreasy so I can beat his a** and prove I'm worth the Number One spot" Bakugou mumbles inaudibly.
"What're those sparkles floating in the green glow?" Sato mentions, earning a few perks of interest.
"It doesn't really look like Midoriya's quirk.." Kouda whispers, only Shoji, Sato and Jirou hearing him.
"What about that girl- Eri's- quirk?" Jirou queries
"Her quirk's rewind right?" Toru requests for confirmation.
"Midoriya's managed to control it, but technically if Midoriya uses too much of his quirk, it injures him right? So maybe Eri is constantly rewinding Midoriya so he doesn't injure himself?" Tokoyami states, earning a
"oui ça a du sens!" Aoyoma exclaims, sparkles illuminating the darkness (yes, that makes sense)
"Higher and higher you chase it
It's deep in your blood, go and take it"
Midoriya's sleeves break apart from the energy of his quirk and his hair floats upwards, with Eri peeking nervously over his shoulder
"This is your moment, take to the skies, go...Prove yourself and"
Overhaul looks down at Midoriya, before climbing up the monstrosity of the combined bodies and charges towards the grenette
"What the hell, Overhaul's formed into a- a monster!" Ojirou exclaims, leaning forwards in anticipation
"And Mido looks super OP, can I just say." Kaminari adds, eyes never leaving the screen.
"RISE, RISE!
Make 'em remember you"
Midoriya kicks Overhaul's form into the air in blinding speed
"RISEPush through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you"
Midoriya spins in the air and kicks to balance himself. There's a flashback of Midoriya in the entrance exam, using his quirk for the first time in order to save Uraraka.
"Oh! That outfit and robot! That was the entrance exam where Deku-kun saved me from the zero-pointer!" Uraraka exclaims, her classmates staring in a mixutre of awe and confusion.
"That's what he did in the entrance exam?!" surprisingly Bakugou exclaimed, "No wonder teach looked so impressed even though the nerd managed to break a finger. He broke his whole body in the entrance exam and reduced it to a finger in less than 2 months..." Bakugou muttered the last part.
"RISE
So get along, so get along, go
Get along 'long go a lil' harder,
So get along, so get along, go,
Get along 'long go a lil' harder,And as you fight among the death beneath the dirt,
Do you know yet?
Do you want it?
And when the giants call to ask you what you're worth,
Do you know if
win or die, you'll,Prove yourself and-"
The bruised red cape of Lemillion's twirls in the air, and we see monotone scenes of Lemillion and Sir Nighteye getting injured and stabbed, whilst fighting the villains of Shie Hissaikai's. The screen then shows Eri running away and gazing in desperation to get saved but not wanting to be the cause of pain and death. We see Deku's face showing intense thinking and shock before the screen fades to black to reveal Midoriya turning to face Overhaul mid-air with a quirk-powered fist, skin looking almost neon
Many of Class 1-A cried at the scenes of suffering and desperation to keep one hurt, tortured, girl safe, and wished to have been able to help in some way.
"RISE, RISE
Make 'em remember you!"
Midoriya breaks apart Overhaul's excess form and Eri's floating hair mixed with shadows and light makes Midoriya look... terrifying-
Many members of the class gulp in fear at their classmate looking so intimidating.
"Remind me to... never get on Midori's bad side..." Mina gulped, and muttered.
"It's not like he would injure anyone, unless they were villains. The damn nerd wouldn't live with himself... unless you broke one of the pieces of his All Might merch or his notbooks." Katsuki said in warning (and experience, ay?)
"RISE!
Push through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you
RISE
Prove yourself andRISE, RISE
(Pick up your weapon and face it)
RISE
(It's deep in your blood, go and take it)
RISE, RISE
(Higher and higher you chase it)
RISE
RISE, RISE!"
The screen shows that Midoriya punched Overhaul to the ground, with Uraraka holding Nighteye to try and save blood, then Midoriya landing, his quirk and Eri's mixing together in golden, viridescent glow, over the unconscious form of Overhaul.
The class wince at the injuries Overhaul sustained, though none feel all that empathetic since Overhaul pretty much deserved it for torturing a child.
The clip ends with a white-and-black line-art version of Nighteye cracking a smile.
1-A cheer, some in shared happiness and adrenaline as their grenette, some because Eri was finally saved, some because despite the loss of Nighteye, Deku helped achieve the objective of the raid- to save someone.
"I feel like this would be such a good time to something Deku would totally say: 'If I can save just one person, then I would go through hell and back for them.' " Sero exclaims, elbows bending.
"Definitely, bro" Kaminari says.
"Well, I guess the value of this particular clip actually has a lot of things, but most we've already collected.... I suppose we have to wonder what was so much more special about this raid?" Iida asks
"Hmmm, we did have to save Eri and it was our first actual professional raid..." Kirishima mumbles.
"But Deku saved Kota and we saved Katsuma as well as Mahoro, so technically, a few of the previous values reflected around saving people, so that shouldn't be a value.." Momo states.
"And a raid isn't really something we can get a value off of unless it's team-work, but we already have team-work as a value..." Shoji mutters.
"Actually, I might have an idea!"
Multiple eyes turn to Uraraka, and she blushes a little before building up confidence and speaking up:
"Well, Sir Nighteye's quirk... was... uh- to see the future and I remember Deku told me that Sir Nighteye saw, in his vision, that he and Deku were gonna.. uh.. die trying to save Eri. But Deku said that he wouldn't let that happen and so he gave it everything he got to try and change that future. Something along the lines of... 'If the future is set in stone, I'll smash it apart'?"
"That was very insightful, thank you very much Uraraka-san!" Iida exclaimed, chopping the air with his robotic gestures.
"Well, in that case, I suppose the value would be- actually, how about you do the honours Uraraka-san?" Momo states, smiling a closed-eye smile.
"O-oh! U-uh! Ok! Well, I guess.. I guess the value would be Will because Deku-kun believed he could change the future and he was willing to put all the hard-work in so- uh yeah.. I think Will." Uraraka stammers.
"I agree!" Yaoyorouzu piped in, writing it down on her notebook.
"Well, I think we're pretty good so far!" Jirou exclaimed, burrowing her eyebrows.

"I know that we have the ability to defeat you. The message these clips are trying to send is just a reminder of how to. You may have skills and wits, but we have something you don't- we have a heroic heart and team-work."
"You and those brats are all naive. Don't worry, it'll only be so soon until your strength withstanding me weakens and I break out. They won't be prepared."
"I know I won't hold you forever. But what you don't understand, is that...
