Chapter 52 - Final Showdown

5 minutes before Izuku jump out from the underground room

"Suspect arrested" A police officer inform as Katsukame is body cuff by the police after the heroes defeated him

"His bark turned out to be worse than his bite" Asui said

"No kidding" Uraraka agree

"Rikiya Katsukame. He inhales the life force of those he touches and uses it to enhance his size. Isolate him before he regains consciousness" Ryuku ordered

"There's a lot of commotion inside. We'd better hurry" Nejire point the Hassaikai entrance

"We're off to a late start, but let's head after Nighteye" Ryuku said

"Okay" Asui comply

"Yes" Uraraka comply, as she about to move suddenly she fell to her knees, feeling weak "Huh?"

"Wha-" Asui aslo fell to her knees, feeling weak

Ryuku look at Katsukame and surprise of what she sees "He's inhaling their life force?!" She yell surprise 'How? He's not even touching them!' She though confuse as many police also fall to their knees

"The boosting drug I got from Irinaka finally kicked in" Katsukame said then he stand up and break his cuffs "I feel... full of energy!" He yell as he tries to punch Ryuku

Ryuku hurriedly transform into her dragon form and block the attack 'His quirk' been boosted!' She though worried

Ryuku dodge a punch from Katsukame 'They've been robbed of their life force and can't even stand up' She though worried as Uraraka and Asui lay down on the ground

"Nejire!" Ryuku call Nejire who floated above her

"Full charge!" Nejire attack Katsukame with her spiral wave, but to no effect

Katsukame look at Nejire "Hehehe. The drug wore off. Let me feel you up, cutie pie" He said creepily

Nejire grimace "Ew! No!" She yell disgusted as she attack him again

Uraraka is on the ground when she notice in the intersection ahead of her, the street exploded "An... explosion...?" She though confuse

"Ryuku... the street over there... juts exploded..." Uraraka said weakly

"The street? What is it now? A gas explosion?" Ryuku said confuse

Suddenly from the hole on the street, something fast jump out and floating in the sky

"What is that?" Nejire ask confuse

"That..." Ryuku take a look and see Izuku floating in the air "Delta" She said surprise

"Delta...? Midoriya?!" Uraraka yell surprise then she look at the floating figure "It's him!" She yell happily

"And he's carrying someone with him" Asui notice as Izuku land on the ground

"I think that's Eri" Nejire said before she dodge Katsukame's punch

"If Midoriya with Eri, that means Overhaul must be near" Ryuku realize

"The underground labyrinth, Overhaul must be under that intersection!" Uraraka realize

"Everyone!" Ryuku yell then she grab Katsukame. Uraraka jump and use her quirk on Katsukame. Asui wrap her tongue on Katsukame's neck and carry him to the intersection

"Nejire, hit us with everything you've got!" Ryuku ordered

"How come these broads can still move?" Katsukame said surprise

"Because everyday...!" Uraraka yell

"...we're told:" Asui yell

" "Go beyond..." Nejire yell

"...Plus Ultra!"!" All three girls yell before they smash Katsukame to the ground

Meanwhile with Izuku and Eri

"Is this... is this your quirk?" Izuku ask Eri. Eri just stand in front of him looking terrified

After a few seconds, Eri nod slightly

'It is her quirk, but she didn't heal me, no. If she did then only my arm would be back, but my suit and exo that ripped apart also back. Not just that, my thruster fuel depleted a while ago but now the tank is full' Izuku though as he check his left arm and exo system

'Eri... she didn't heal my arm, she rewind my body. She rewind my body, suit, and exo to before the fight or even before the raid. So that's how her quirk erase other quirks, it didn't erase it, it rewinds them in time to the point before they we're manifested' Izuku realize

"I'm... I'm... sorry..." Eri tearing up

"Hey, it's okay. You didn't hurt me, look at my left arm" Izuku reassure as he show her his left arm "A while ago it was gone, but now it's back. You heal me, you fix my arm. Thank you" Izuku said smiling

Eri is still crying thinking she hurt Izuku despite what Izuku just said

Izuku pat Eri "little girl, remember what I said to you earlier? "Your quirk is a gift" and that gift just heal my arm. Don't cry, everything will be okay" Izuku hug the little girl softly

"Th... Thank... you..." Eri said sobbing

"Shhh, you are a sweet and kind little girl, don't let others tell you otherwise" Izuku reassure the whitehead little girl in his arm

"GRAAAHHHHHHH!!!" A loud growling suddenly roar behind the two, surprising them. Izuku look back and see Katsukame being lifted by Ryuku while Uraraka and Asui follow along, and they are heading towards Izuku

"What the fuck!?" Izuku yell surprise before he jump away from the intersection where he jump out just in time when Ryuku throw Katsukame to the intersection where it crumble and dive into the underground room where Overhaul and the rescue team are in

Izuku land a few dozens meters away from the impact hole "What the hell was that?!" He yell surprise and confuse

"Midoriya!" Uraraka called him as she and Asui limp towards Izuku

"Girls, why are you look so tired?" Izuku ask confuse

"The giant man earlier absorb most of our life force, we are barely able to fight" Asui explain tiredly

"Is she... is she Eri?" Uraraka ask as she notice a whitehead girl on Izuku's arm

"Yeah, she's the one" Izuku confirm then he show Eri's face to the girls

"Aww, you're cute" Uraraka said smiling

"She's cuter than my sister" Asui tilt her head

Eri, after seeing the girls immediately shove her head into Izuku's chest

"Hey, it's okay. These two are also here to save you. Don't need to be afraid" Izuku reassure

"Is the little girl safe?" Ryuku ask as she transform back from her dragon form

"Yes, ma'am" Izuku reply

"What about the rest? What about Mr. Aizawa or Mirio?" Uraraka ask worried

Izuku dreaded and look back at the giant hole behind him "Shit!" He curse "Hold Eri for a while" He give Eri to Uraraka before he run to the hole

Eri a little reluctant to be held by Uraraka

"It's okay, you hear him earlier, right? We are the good guys, and we also here to rescue you" Uraraka reassure the little girl with a smile

"O-Okay..." Eri nod and hug Uraraka tightly

"Rescue team, this is Delta, do you copy?" Izuku ask but no respond "Eraserhead, Nighteye, Lemillion, Suneater, Police chief, does anyone copy?" Izuku radio in again but no respond

"Son of a bitch! Respond, damn it!" Izuku curse when his radio picked a signal

"This is Eraserhead, we're safe. We move deeper into the labyrinth before the roof collapse" Aizawa inform

"What about Lemillion?" Izuku ask

"We have him, he's injured but safe" Nighteye inform

"Thank God. What about Overhaul? Did he die from the collapse?" Izuku ask

"We don't know" Aizawa reply

"Okay, I got Eri outside, she's secured. Evacuate from the labyrinth, we got what we need" Izuku ordered

"Okay, and tell some to come down to us, we got multiple officers and heroes injured" The police chief requested

"Copy your last" Izuku comply when the ground suddenly began to shake violently

"What? What happening?" Uraraka ask surprise

"An earthquake?" Asui said surprise

"No" Ryuku said as massive dust cloud exit the giant hole. She then see Izuku running towards them

"Go! Get out of here! He's waking up!" Izuku yell as he run away from the hole that became bigger and bigger

"Something is coming out from the hole" Nejire inform

Suddenly the hole exploded and behind all the dust cloud as massive figure rise from the hole

"Give. Back. Eri. To. Me." A very monstrous Overhaul demanded as he exit the underground hole

"Okay, now that's bullshit" Izuku said annoyed

"What is that?!" Uraraka yell shocked while Eri whimper in fear and shove her face into Uraraka's chest

"Is that Overhaul?" Asui said shocked

"That's not Overhaul, that's Monsterhaul" Izuku said annoyed

"Did he fused himself with Katsukame?" Ryuku ask shocked

"I'm afraid so" Izuku reply

"Give her to me. Unless you want to be annihilated, hand Eri over" Monsterhaul demanded

"Go fuck yourself in hell!" Izuku yell irritated

"Neither you nor Eri knows the value of her power. Quirks progress markedly when you develop them. By conducting countless experiments, I extracted Eri's power and succeeded in bringing it to it's end point. It rewinds the course of the species, to it's unmutated form. that's the kind of power Eri possesses. The power to annihilate quirk factors and turn humans back to normal! You don't know Eri's value! A punk like you can't exploit an asset like her!" Mosterhaul yell angrily as he tries to attack Izuku and the girls

Izuku and the girls avoided the attack

"She's a person, a human being! Not a battery that you could use! How I could exploit her? I won't! I will let her grow into something she wanted. To grow to the image that she wanted, not into what she was told to but didn't want! You want her back?! Then walk over my dead body!" Izuku declare angrily

"Oh, I will kill you. And besides, how could you possible hope to stop me?" Monsterhaul taunted

Izuku smirk "Look behind you" He calmly said

"What?" Monsterhaul said confuse when suddenly

Multiple high explosion erupted on Monsterhaul's back, making him to yell in pain and fall to the ground

"What happen?" Asui ask surprise

"Explosions?" Ryuku said surprise

"Whoa, that's dangerous" Nejire said as she land beside Ryuku

After the explosions dissipate, 2 ATH-21 helicopter and 2 Quinjet aircraft fly overhead pass Monsterhaul towards the heroes

"Reinforcement" Izuku smirk "Shooter 1-1, 1-2, focus fire on the giant monster. Nomad 6-1, land near the Hassaikai resident. Nomad 6-2, land behind me, after you done provide fire support at the Hassaiaki house" Izuku ordered

"Shooter 1-1, 1-2, Engaging" Shooter 1-1 comply then he and Shooter 1-2 engage Monsterhaul

"Nomad 6-1, 6-2, copy that" Nomad 6-1 comply then he go to Hassaikai resident while Nomad 6-2 land behind Izuku and the girls

"Ryuku, Eri is on your hand now. Take her as far away from here as possible. I'll hold back Overhaul" Izuku ordered

"Okay" Ryuku comply "Let's go, girls" She told the girls before running away from Mosterhaul

"Be safe, Midoriya" Uraraka said worried. Eri also look at Izuku with a worried look

"Hey, I'll lived!" Izuku yell then he run to the Quinjet "Lieutenant, you got some extra riffle I could borrow?" He ask a Lieutenant

"I got one for you, sir" A Sergeant said as he throw an M227A1 towards Izuku

"Thank you, Sergeant" Izuku said smiling as he grab the riffle "All right, Machine gunners, spray and pray that thing! The others, focus fire on the head!" Izuku ordered

"Yes, sir!" the soldiers comply

"Firing!" A machine gunner yell as he fire his machine gun

"Proper sighting. Proper leading. Proper positioning. Bring it straight down" A soldier said as he and the other solder fire their riffles at Monsterhaul

"Grrrr! Why you all can't look at the big picture? I'm going to tear down this world, it's very framework! Your justice is small. You only see what's in front of you!" Monsterhaul yell angrily

"And what's in front of us is a monster that trying to destroy the lives of many! Shooter 1-1, 1-2, fire everything you've got!" Izuku ordered

"Guns, guns, guns" Shooter 1-2 fire it's 30mm chain gun

"Target acquired, weapons loose" Shooter 1-1 comply then he launch every rockets and missiles at Monsterhaul

The bullets and missiles hit and destroy Monsterhaul body, piece by piece, limb by limb

"GRAHHHHH!!! GRAHHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Monsterhaul scream as he's being ripped apart

"Move, move, move!" Izuku yell as Monsterhaul body began to fall to the ground

"Incoming!" A soldier yell when monsterhaul drop to the ground with massive ground shaking

"Hold your fire!" Izuku yell making the soldiers to stop shooting and watch Monsterhaul for any movement "I'll approach him, cover me" He ordered

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers comply

Izuku put away his riffle and grab his pistol. He then walk towards Monsterhaul, or what's left of it. Izuku notice Overhaul about to move, so he fire both of Overhaul's palm, effectively making Overhaul unable to use his quirk

"You only able to Overhaul stuff when you touch them right? So if you can't touch it, you can Overhaul a shit" Izuku said as he stand in front of Overhaul

"I will bring back... the name of... Hassaikai to fame again.... This won't stop... my plan, you can't stop it..." Overhaul said weakly

Izuku roll his eyes then he reach into Overhaul's jacket "I'll be taking this" Izuku said as he grab a case containing the remaining four quirk erasing bullet

"Give it back! I will fix this world with that...! I'll cure this sick-" Overhaul yell as he tries to grab back the case

Izuku aim his pistol at Overhaul's head, shutting him up "You're right, someone is sick, and that's you. Let me check you" He said then he look Overhaul thoroughly "Well sir, I'm afraid you are sick, and I diagnose you with a severe case of death" He said coldly

"What...?" Overhaul said confuse

"BANG!!!" Izuku headshot Overhaul, killing him "And unfortunately there is no cure" He finish then he walk away from the corpse

"Make sure no one without permission approach him" Izuku ordered the soldiers in front of him

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers comply

Back at the Hassaikai resident

"We have a large number who are seriously injured. Call as many ambulance as you can get!" A hero yell as he carry an injured police

"Apply first aid to anyone who is injured, try to treat them until the ambulances arrive!" A soldier yell as he grab his first aid kit

"Go check everyone to make sure no one miss any victims" A hero yell

"Carry anyone who is severely injured to the Quinjet for medivac!" A soldier yell as he help carry an injured hero to the Quinjet

Rock Lock, with the help of medics, walk outside the resident

Mirio is taken into an ambulance, he have severe injury all over his body with his pierced right leg being the worse, but non lethal fortunately

Kirishima is being carried with a stretcher, he is badly injured and have bruises all over his body, but none are life threatening

Fat Gum also injured, though he still able to walk on his own just fine

Uraraka and Asui check on Kirishima's condition on the stretcher when Izuku approach them

"So how it's feel to be the one who's near death's door ?" Izuku ask jokingly

"Fantastic. I though I saw my whole life flash through my eyes" Kirishima reply jokingly

"Then you know how I feel every time I'm in your position" Izuku said smiling

"Well, yeah. it's hurts" Kirishima said jokingly

"Of course it hurts, if you don't feel hurt then you're dead" Izuku reply smiling before Kirishima is taken inside an ambulance

"I don't like this whole dead and hurt conversation, kero" Asui said worried

"Yeah, it makes me worried" Uraraka agree

"Well, for me who have more than a dozen near deaths before. A near death experience is as usual as a morning coffee for me. And you both know I drink coffee every morning" Izuku said calmly making Uraraka and Asui to look at each other then at Izuku worriedly

"Are you sure you okay, Midoriya?" Uraraka ask worried

"Best time of my life" Izuku reply smiling

"Midoriya" Aizawa call him as he approach the group

"Eraser, good to see you alright" Izuku said

"I'm the one who supposed to say that. From what Mirio said, you lost your left arm" Aizawa said surprising Uraraka and Asui

"You lost your left arm?!" Uraraka yell shocked

Izuku show his left arm to them "What did I lost again?" He ask

"But Mirio said you lost your left arm when you protected him and Eri. Is he so tired that he seeing things?" Aizawa said confuse

"No, he's telling the truth. I did, a while ago, lost my entire left arm, all the way to my shoulder" Izuku clap his shoulder

"But you still have your arm" Asui said confuse

"Eri heals me, it's part of her quirk. I'll explain in detail later in my mission report. For now, I am in a good condition" Izuku explain "Speaking of Eri, where is she?" Izuku ask

"Ah, I put her on an ambulance. She sleep there immediately, she looks tired" Uraraka said

"She is, physically and mentally" Izuku said irritated

"Mentally?" Asui ask confuse

"You heard what Overhaul said before Havoc arrive, right? She's been under a heavy emotional stress for a long time. And it doesn't help that Overshit keep talking to her like she is a cursed object. Just let her rest, she deserve it" Izuku explain

"What about Overhaul?" Aizawa ask

"Dead" Izuku simply said

"I'm used of Bakugou saying "Die, dead, death, kill" all the time" Asui said

"But when you say those and the person in question is really dead, I can't get used to it" Uraraka said

"Well, you're stuck with me for the next three year. Better get used to it" Izuku wink before walking away

"Damn problem child" Aizawa mumble annoyed

"I heard that!" Izuku yell from a distance

Aizawa roll his eyes while Uraraka giggle and Asui tilt her head
