----Izuku third POV-----
"You'll definitely save him?" Muscular was laughing at Izuku's words.
Muscular was already stockpiling muscles on his body. "That sounds just like what someone who wants to be a hero would say. Your kind is everywhere, talking about justice."
"You're the one called Midoriya, right? This is perfect. We were told to take the initiative and kill you. I'll make sure to torment you thoroughly, so show me your blood!" Then Muscular took off his cape and charged towards Izuku.
'Full cowling 20%!' Due to his physical improvement, Izuku was finally able to use 20% without straining his body too much. He was also circulating the Chakra inside his body. Izuku's going all out against the incoming villain.
Muscular arrived near Izuku and punched him with his right fist. Izuku sidestepped and Muscular's face was on full display to Izuku's right fist.
*Bang!* Izuku struck Muscular's face with his right fist, blowing the latter away.
Muscular's face was bleeding due to the force behind Izuku's punch. He looked at Izuku and said. "I'll kill you, you brat!"
Muscular's body started inflating, muscle fibers started forming around his body, augmenting his physical abilities to its peak.
He leaped towards Izuku and started wreaking havoc. He punched relentlessly, even the terrain wasn't spared. But Izuku was doing a good job by dodging everything.
He just couldn't attack because of Muscular's unrelenting attacks, he had to dodge continuously in order not to get hit by Muscular's punches.
Muscular was getting irritated for not being able to land his punches. So he pulled away from Izuku and dashed towards Kota. He raised his right arm and punched downwards, aiming to crush Kota.
Izuku saw this and was alarmed. 'Shit! Kota's in danger..!' He dashed towards Kota agilely and was able to save Kota in the nick of time. But, Izuku was also blown away because he was unbalanced and the force behind muscular's fist made it even worse by breaking the foothold Izuku had.
Izuku rolled together with Kota and they struck the nearby rocks.
Muscular immediately followed and continued his assault. He grabbed Izuku's collar and smashed him to the ground.
Then he kicked Izuku towards the mountain's wall.
*Bang!* Izuku's figure was embedded in the mountain's wall.
"What? You'll definitely save him? You did, but both of you will still die here!" Muscular then struck Izuku who was lying down.
But Izuku dodged by rolling away from Muscular. Then he immediately got up and leaped towards Kota.
"Kota-kun, you need to run back towards the camp! You need to look for a man named Hazuki! Don't worry about me, I'll hold him here! So, run!" Izuku said towards Kota.
"I-it's impossible! We should just run! You can't win against him..!" Kota said while looking worriedly at Izuku's back.
Izuku didn't reply anymore because Muscular was already charging towards both of them.
'100% Detroit Smash!' Izuku punched towards Muscular.
But the force behind his punch was absorbed by the numerous muscle fiber's surrounding Muscular's arms.
"Ouch.. " Muscular said. Even though his quirk can create muscle fibers around his body, damaging it can still cause him pain.
"What's wrong?! Didn't you say you'll save him?! That's just lip service! You'll die here together with that kid!" Muscular said.
"..fine.. it's fine.. I will not let him past me! So run..! Run..!" Izuku shouted.
"Man, you're the best!!" Muscular crazily said.
"Shut up...!"
"Show me..... your blood...!" Muscular then increased his strength output, planning to directly crush Izuku below him.
Izuku who was being crushed already has tears flowing from his eyes. 'Sorry, mom..! Mom, I'm sorry! All might! All might.! Sorry!' he thought he was already going to die here.
*Boom!* Izuku was completely pressed down on the ground by Muscular.
*Splash!* Kota suddenly splashed water towards Muscular.
"Later, 'kay? 'kay? I'll kill you later, so just wa--" Muscular stopped mid-way as he felt Izuku getting up after he was distracted.
"As if..."
Muscular felt Izuku was pushing harder than before.
"Wait, are you getting stronger?!
"I'd let you kill him!!" Izuku said. He has already gotten up and was standing on his two feet, contending head-on against Muscular's arm.
'One for All 1,000,000%!!'
'Delaware..' Izuku flicked all of his fingers, freeing it from Muscular's muscle fibers.
Then, 'Detroit... Smash!!" Izuku once again punched with his right hand towards Muscular's face.
Muscular was blown away, his body struck the mountain wall and embedded himself there.
Kota, who saw all of this happening, thought. 'Why...? Even though you don't know anything... Even though you don't know anything.. why did you do so much?' Then he remembered Mandalay's words, 'Someone who'll risk their life to save you, someone who'll be your hero.'
Kota looked at Izuku's tired but powerful figure. 'My.. my hero.' he cried as he finally understood Mandalay's words. He cried because he finally found someone, the person he has been searching for. His 'hero'.
Izuku then slowly walked towards Kota. "Kota-kun, it's all right. Let's go, there's still something I must do."
"You're all beat up! What do you still have to do?" Kota was worried about Izuku's state.
"Don't worry about me, I can still use my left arm and legs. And If all the villains that came this time are as strong as him...." Izuku then looked at Muscular. "Then everyone's in danger."
"On top of that, they might be after us students. I have to let Aizawa-sensei and the pussycats know.."
"If I can save someone by moving, then I have to move, right?" Izuku said towards Kota.
After seeing the look on Izuku's face and heard what he said, Kota couldn't say anything in response. So he could only give up and put his trust in his 'hero.
"Above all, right now, I need to protect you."
"Huh?"
"There's something that only you can do.. The forest has been set on fire, with that, we may get trapped. Do you understand? We need that quirk of yours. Save us, the way you saved us earlier."
Kota nodded tearfully. Izuku saw this and smiled at him. "Get on my back, Kota-kun. Hold on tight."
Then both of them plummeted downwards. Izuku used geppo to slowly get down and dashed towards the camp.
Hazuki, who was observing everything that happened, thought. 'Looks like I won't have to appear. Since Izuku doesn't know their target is Bakugou, he would surely not rush towards them.'
'Bakugou being kidnapped is guaranteed. Now I only have to keep him safe.'
Then Hazuki jumped downwards and ran towards Bakugou's location.
He's not going to show himself, but that doesn't mean he won't watch, right?
....
Izuku was running towards the camp, he's already using his 20% of his power just to arrive there as soon as possible.
A few seconds later, they are already near the camp, only a few meters and they will already be there. Suddenly, Aizawa appeared from the camp 's direction and met with each other.
"Mr. Aizawa!" Izuku shouted.
"Mido--" Aizawa was taken aback when he saw Izuku's state. 'He broke his arm? He fought against a villain?'
"It's terrible! There's a villain attack ongoing now and fire has already started spreading around the forest!" Izuku rapidly said.
"Kota-kun has a water quirk and he can help in extinguishing the fire, so please, protect him! And sensei, have you seen where Hazuki-kun is?!" he added,
Aizawa then thought of Hazuki. 'Damn it, is this your plan?! Disappear suddenly when the villains have arrived!?'
"Hazuki's nowhere to be found, I already searched for him earlier."
"More importantly, Midoriya, you did it again, huh? Did you forget what happened to hosu?"
"No, but.."
"That's why I need you to tell Mandalay this.. " Aizawa instructed Izuku.
Izuku then immediately sprang into action. He ran with all his might towards Mandalay's location.
After arriving, he immediately saw Tiger and Mandalay fighting against two villains.
He jumped then kicked the lizard looking Villain to the face, blowing the latter away.
"Mandalay, Kota-kun's okay! And here's a message from Mr. Aizawa! Please tell everyone with your Telepath!"
"Everyone in Class A and B! In the name of the pro-hero, Eraser Head, you are granted permission to engage in combat!"
Mandalay immediately messaged everyone with her Telepath and told them about the permission,
"Everyone in Class A and B! In the name of the pro-hero, Eraser Head, You are granted permission to engage in combat!"
Mandalay repeated it one more time and said towards Izuku.
"Head back towards the camp immediately! That injury is too severe!"
"No.. I'm sorry! My classmates are still inside the forest! I have to help them!" Izuku said as he ran towards the Forest.
Izuku was running deftly when something suddenly lashed out to him. He was startled and wanted to dodge, but sudden pain came from his right arm and occupied his thoughts.
*Bang!* The place where Izuku was standing was smashed by something.
"You're injured, why are you even running inside the forest?" Shoji asked Izuku who was nestled on his back.
"Are you thinking about saving us? Good grief.. What are we going to do with you.." Shoji added.
Then Shoji placed Izuku down.
After that, Izuku asked about the thing earlier. Shoji confirmed Izuku's suspicion and said it was Tokoyami's dark shadow which was out of control.
He recounted what happened to Izuku and explained why Dark shadow was rampaging.
Izuku was thinking of something. 'Since Tokoyami's weakness is light, then..! Todoroki-kun and Kacchan who's in front should be able to do it!'
Izuku informed Shoji of his plan and they started executing it.
Shoji had a duplicate of his arms on both sides to act as bait while they are luring Dark shadow towards Todoroki and Bakugou's location.
After a minute of running forward, Shoji and Izuku saw Todoroki and Bakugou fighting against a Villain.
"Todoroki-kun! Please make some light!" Shoji shouted.
But Bakugou held back Todoroki and had him observe what is happening.
Dark shadow was advancing towards the noise when the Villain suddenly shouted and attacked Dark shadow from behind.
Dark shadow grabbed him and crushed the sword-like teeth along with the villain then smashed him on the numerous trees around.
Dark shadow completely decimated the pesky Villain they had trouble fighting against.
After witnessing that, Todoroki and Bakugou immediately moved towards Tokoyami, who's on the center of dark shadow, and Released their quirk which generated enough light to help Tokoyami regain control over Dark shadow.
"Tokoyami-kun, good job doing what we asked." Shoji praised Tokoyami.
Tokoyami is, after all, holding back dark shadow so intensely since it got out of control. And it must be hard to let something take control over your body, even for a short period of time.
"Shoji-kun, sorry.. I was too immature and let anger my anger take over..."
Tokoyami apologized for hurting Shoji. He was too angry at that time after all.
"More importantly, we should get back towards the camp. It's the safest place since two pro-heroes, Eraser head and Vlad king was there." Izuku said..
"We must go there as soon as possible and help our classmates along the way!" Izuku and the others then ran towards the whole course.
But they didn't see anyone along the way.
A few minutes later they arrived where Uraraka and Asui were. They were fighting against a villain, and it looked like Uraraka was already apprehending her..
"Uraraka?!" Shoji exclaimed.
"Shoji! Everyone!" Asui was elated to see everyone was already here.
The villain under Uraraka suddenly struggled and exerted force stronger than before.
"There are more people now, and I don't want to be killed, so bye-bye." The villain looked back and saw Izuku's injured figure.
She suddenly blushed and her eyes were trembling uncontrollably. She then ran towards the forest and didn't look back a single time.
"Wai--" Uraraka wanted to stop the Villain but Asui held her back.
"It's too dangerous! We don't even know what kind of quirk she has." Asui said.
Shoji ran towards the duo and asked, "Who was that woman just now?"
"A villain, a crazy one!" Asui replied.
"Uraraka-san, you're injured!" Izuku said as he saw Uraraka's leg was dripping with blood.
"It's fine I can totally walk." Uraraka replied. "Anyway, you're the one tha--"
"This isn't the time to stand around and talk. Let's go quickly!" Shoji advised.
"Anyway, I'm glad that you're all okay... Right! Come with us! We're on the way towards the training camp right now!" Izuku said.
"Just the three of you?" Asui asked.
"Just the three..? What are you talking about, Tokoyami-kun and Kachha--" Izuku looked back and saw that Tokoyami and Bakugou are missing.
"What?! Where did the two of them go?!"
A voice suddenly interrupted their talk. "The boys you're talking about. I took them with my magic."
Everyone looked towards the origin of the voice and saw a masked man standing on a tree branch.
"This talent isn't someone who should be on the hero side. We'll take him to a stage where he can shine more." The masked-man said.
"Give them back!" Izuku shouted.
"'Give them back?'. That's a strange thing to say. Bakugou doesn't belong to anyone. He's his own person, you egoist." The masked-man rebutted.
"Bakugou?! So he's what you're after! Give them back!" Izuku shouted angrily.
Todoroki shoved Izuku back and attacked the masked-man with his right side. "Move."
The masked-man jumped away from the tree and said. "We only wanted to show him that, the path he's on now with its fanatical values is not the only path he can take."
The masked-man landed on a nearby tree and continued his speech. "Kids these days are made to choose their paths based on their values."
"Taking Tokoyami was just an improvisation on my part. With a violent nature that trampled that Cutthroat moonfish down one-sidedly, I decided that he was good too."
"You bastard, don't take them!" Izuku was completely enraged, he lost his temper after seeing his classmates being treated as things.
"Midoriya calm down!" Shoji said.
Todoroki placed the guy they rescued earlier down and said. "Uraraka, take care of this guy." then he used his right side to freeze the masked-man and everything around him.
"Sorry! Tricks and running away are my only redeeming features! There's no way I'd fight students who are Hero candidate's!" then the masked man contacted everyone on his team and announced the completion of his mission.
After that, he dashed away and left Izuku's group in the dust.
Izuku and the others followed after the Villain's tracks. They were already left behind since the villain guy traveled above.
Izuku proposed a plan to Uraraka and Asui. A human-bullet plan.
Asui would wrap her tongue around the three of them and Uraraka would make them weightless.
Then Asui would throw them towards the villain with all her might.
Since the villain might be too far away. Izuku also had Shoji and Todoroki hold into him since he might have to use geppo for a single time.
Uraraka and Asui agreed and executed Izuku's plan.
Izuku's group was thrown by Asui towards the Villain. They underestimated her strength since they arrived behind the Villain in an instant.
Izuku stomped his feet towards the masked man and shoved him downwards.
The masked man became the trio's landing cushion as they landed.
"Give kacchan and Tokoyami back!" Izuku shouted.
The masked man suddenly disappeared as Dabi used his quirk and tried to burn the trio. But they dodged and only Shoji's arm was affected.
The masked man suddenly appeared and came near Dabi. He shoved his hand onto his left pocket and searched for something.
Shoji suddenly said. "Midoriya, Todoroki, were retreating!" then he showed 2 crystal pearls towards the duo.
Izuku was relieved and immediately retreated together with the other two. But in front of them, they saw a Nomu. So they turned and headed the other way.
A dark smoke-like thing suddenly appeared in front of them.
"It's been five minutes since the signal. Let us go, Dabi." Kurogiri said.
Every member of the Vanguard Action Squad, who's present, entered Kurogiri's warp gate.
"Wait, our goal--" Dabi was interrupted.
"Oh, that? They seemed so happy that they rushed out here, so I thought I'd give them a present. It's a habit, one of the basics of magic. When I flaunt something, it's because there's something I don't want you to see." The masked man partially removed his mask and revealed something that was hidden inside his mouth. It was the two crystal pearls containing Bakugou and Tokoyami.
"N-no way!" Izuku shouted. Then the two crystal pearls within Shoji's hands suddenly expanded. What's released from them are two Ice shards.
"My Ice?!"
Izuku, Todoroki, and Shoji ran towards the masked man, who's already entering Kurogiri's portal.
"Wait!"
Before the masked man could completely enter the portal, a laser suddenly struck his mask.
It was Aoyama, he used his quirk to strike the masked man's face.
"Kuhackk!" The masked man puked out the crystal pearls.
Izuku didn't care about his legs anymore and used 100%. He arrived in front of the two crystal pearls and made a grabbing motion towards them.
Izuku got the left pearl, but he missed the right one. His right arm was suddenly struck with intense pain and he couldn't properly move it.
Dabi grabbed the remaining pearl and said towards the masked man. "Confirm it now. Release this."
The masked man was irritated and said. "My show's been ruined!" then he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly Tokoyami appeared beside Izuku and Bakugou appeared in Dabi's grasp.
"No problem," Dabi said as he slowly faded into the warp gate.
Izuku wanted to rush towards them, but he couldn't move a single finger at all.
"Kacchan!!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
Izuku shouted in sadness. He let his friend be abducted, that's what is going on in his mind.
He had his head against the ground and wept in indignation.
Fifteen minutes later, the fire trucks, police and the pro-heroes arrived.
They caught the villains who were left there and started treating everyone who's injured.
Of the forty students, thirteen were unconscious due to the Villains poisonous gas, eleven others had minor or major injuries, thirteen were uninjured and one was missing.
Hazuki came back to the training camp after everything was done. Aizawa immediately saw him and approached him.
Aizawa grabbed his collar and shouted at him. "Is this what your so-called plan is?! To let them hurt the students?! You even allowed them to kidnap Bakugou! How are you going to explain this?! I would be the one to take responsibilities for everyone!"
Hazuki only looked at Aizawa calmly and waited for him to calm down. "Did you really think that I, would not take precautionary measures? Of course not. I made sure Bakugou would be safe before I allowed them to kidnap him."
"Even if he's safe, the fact that U.A let one of its student's get kidnapped is a big scandal! What are you going to do about this, huh?!" Aizawa shouted.
"I let them kidnap him in order to find out their location, and sweep them clean afterwards." Hazuki said.
"Would you rather save Bakugou and have the League of Villains getaway, or have Bakugou kidnapped, then clean them all up and U.A would have no future problem? So, which one will you choose?" he added.
"Even so... " Aizawa couldn't say anything in response. Bakugou would be safe and they would get future problems or Bakugou's in danger and U.A would have no future problem.
"Go along with my plans, this is the last time you'll ever do something for me, Aizawa-sensei." Then Hazuki walked away and headed towards his room.
He wanted to pack his stuff and go home now. He will only show himself by visiting Izuku in the hospital and after that, he will deal with the League of Villains.
